Just a quickie. General store from Redneck Rampage:
(Replaced image with one that's less "fat")

Oooo..that looks sweet. Could you try with FSAA?

Wow...are the RR textures REALLY that bad? Geeze...

Actually, I think had it on, but this was running in a window at 640x480. I'll try to get some better shots and place them in a ZIP file as using JPEG or other compression as that distorts the results.

One thing I wish for right now is support for the "skymap". Right now, all "open, outside areas" are plain white. That ruins a lot of potential snapshots.

Phbbt.. You wanna see what the original looks like?
Here's a close-up texture (from Shadow Warrior):

P.S. Don't forget most of the textures in "Redneck Rampage" are supposed to look dilapidated.

Quickie Redneck Rampage texture close-up:

Okay, okay, fine. Blah.

Well at least you're in a good mood 😉

One thing I did notice: as the resolution is bumped up and true 3D is applied (instead of the 2.5D viewing), the (lack of) polygons gets pretty noticeable. The important thing is that with true-3D, it'll be a lot easier to pull off that "Shoulder-Launched-Nuclear-Missile-through-the-Teleport-Window" trick in "Shadow Warrior".

Between this and Ken Silverman's VESA patch, this news is amazing!

It's too bad that the "DoomsDay" engine (JDOOM,etc...) can't handle "room-over-room" maps. Otherwise, someone could fairly easily convert the maps to the "DoomsDay" engine and we could play almost immediately.

I do think that "DoomsDay" gameplay is probably a good indicator of what a true-3D Win32 version of BUILD will give us.

Sprite scaling and height adjustments will look bad, but everything else will skyrocket in terms of quality.

Seems to me someone could use DoomsDay as the base code and then add the ability to have room-on-room, jumping, ducking, et al that was missing in Doom (and that wasn't added by developers of said program).

The QBlood (or Transfusion=Remake of BLOOD) guys were thinking the same thing and contacted Jaakko, but he said it would be a long time before he tried to add "room over room" functionality.

I suppose someone else could "pick up the ball (source) and run with it", but no volunteers yet...

...Damn...

I hate it when it's so close we can taste it. Still, it's heartening to know that a Win32 port of BUILD that can actually run commercial games is within months-a year of being released.

Don't jinx it. Getting the maps to load and render properly (with textures) with true 3D is great, but it's still a long way from a functioning game.

Heh. Sorry.

Get Vlad and Harakiet on it. 😉
Or, better yet, get that guy on DOSBox.
Well, maybe not better...

followed the advice..here's the generated (attached) vdms log file😕
by the way...with wither blood or redneck,I forget which as I play both (without vdms) on a start screen I see 36 meg of memory..
is there any way I can "put in" anywhere,to give it more memory...I own a gig of memory,& sure would like to use it...
