If I can produce a result that doesn't page fault, then I can learn how to set up a repository. That's a good idea. I also may buy a 3dfx card for testing.

I couldn't reproduce your result, at least without introducing errors. I also don't have a 3dfx card to test with and probably dosbox 3dfx emulation is not ideal, especially with glide3 functions. I wonder if the emulation was tested against glide3, too.

I tried to build for h5 but I wasn't able to. There seemed to be too many steps in porting it.

I didn't know that. I don't think I can make further progress because I don't the experience with coding in quake/2. At least I tried. Thank you, too, for bringing us q2dos!

I will try the watcom compiler next.

I've been using djgpp 204. I updated the above to show that mesa5 seems like the best version for use with djgpp. However, there is both fxmesa code and the non-accelerated code within this version, so the binary can be tested without glide3.

The 3dfx models above V2 (cvg) were not building as easily, so I used the early model versions for testing. I also agree that the V1 glide3 code is not considered complete; however, testing with mesa without hardware acceleration should confirm whether that is true. Also, mesa26 relies on an older …

Thanks for testing and confirming that the glide drivers are card specific. It may help to try mesa without hardware acceleration, removing any glide problems from the test. Also, I think linux may have used the mesa 2.6 version with glide2, so that may be tested, too. I did try to build the h5 …

Showing progress via the attached q2dos test binary for 3dfx Voodoo 1 (untested in other 3dfx card types). The binary starts a 3dfx window and shows an in-game console, but freezes before the game starts. This was only tested in dosbox with 3fdx emulation. Edit: test binary shows incomplete result …

I will try that after I test the opengl code. If you require the dxe sooner, then the source code is available from qbism's web site.

I haven't recently tried, but I think it should work. I was testing the enhanced renderer to determine whether an opengl version will port to quake2/dos. I will test the opengl code next.

Working on dynamically linked software renderer (qbism's web site) so it works with q2dos. The static build isn't useful except for testing. Edit: removed test binary. Official releases of q2dos are available at their bitbucket web site.

That is a good idea to test his code.

Mainly page faults associated with the code additions in this quake2 renderer. The discussion above referred to a related quake1 renderer, and qbism made further changes to it, so I don't know that there is easily referenced code toward the port to quake2 specifically for dos (q2dos). I was mainly …

Attached qbism's deluxe software renderer (credits to leilei) for q2dos. However, it requires the "q2dos-w32.zip" archive posted above, which contains a special q2dos client and the required hdpmi/hxgui files for DOS compatibility. Once that special q2dos client is setup, then replace the software …

Have been testing qbism's software renderer code in q2dos and noted an issue with djgpp204/gcc295 versus djgpp205/gcc484. Some malloc errors were reported by the q2dos code while building with djgpp204/gcc295, so a VirtualAlloc error would occur where the memory allocation failed for some unknown …

That's insightful. I haven't yet tested changes to the memory model. Also, I'll work on that build for V5. Another problem is long-term preservation of maps (and mods) which have modified "game" directories without availability of their source code changes. I think we have a workaround for many of …

Thank you for the hints. It is helpful to confirm which functions are necessary, to avoid too much testing. It may be reasonable to log every function near to renderer initialization to find the cause. I wonder if it is possible to use the glut library to help initialize the renderer, even if glut …

Built Mesa3d (fxmesa/opengl) by djgpp204/gcc295 and attached an archive with the headers, libraries, and sample demos. This DOS build is specific for the Voodoo 1 and includes hardware acceleration as demonstrated by the included demos. For example, the djgpp204/gcc295 development environment can …
