G-go ahead and t-try, h-hacker...

Just noticed the tagline.

That could be awesome.

Possibly there aren't endian issues this time ;)

@Mr_Capehill

eek, CMake

@Raziel

I've used CMake. It can work. The files are neat. But sometimes I wonder if throwing all the files together in CodeBench with a link line would be easiest. However, I don't want to hack my system again to get CMake working like in the last version. I had to mess up my SObjects just to get it loading. CMake on Linux then instead. Which is funny as the newest one I had on my Linux x86 was older than the OS4 one.

@Hypex

Yes, that why i'm not touching CMake...i still get an error about missing shared objects by just trying to display CMake's version number...scary

@Raziel

I'm with Raziel on this. I've tried to work with CMake a couple of times (in the context of compiling parts of KDE) and amazingly enough a supposed improvement to the traditional make/autotools toolchain manages to be even less usable to mere mortals.

@simplex

If someone provides a static build of the CMake package, i may look at it again

there's also that game...

@TheDungeonDelver

Has anybody tried to port System Shock on Amiga?

@dipsomania

Sadly it doesn't appear anyone has, or at least no one's ever publicly announced it as far as I am aware

@Amiboy

Ok, actually I'm trying to port it... At the moment I'm using AxRuntime with Code::Blocks on my Ubuntu machine, then I'll move it into AROS native/Classic Amiga AGA environments once I've finished to implement input, file operations and sound. Obviously I've removed all the SDL stuff and replaced with the standard AmigaOS Graphics/Intuition calls.
Soon I'll publish the source code on GitHub.

@dipsomania

That's awesome! I wish you look with your endeavours with this, it doesn't look easy.

@dipsomania

is based on the MacOS version or the MSDOS version?

I looked at the MacOS7.x.x version many years ago, there was lot soft float, and FIX point math, and had lot of issues with MacOS resource system.. not easy at all..

Well, it's based on Shockolate which in turn is based on the old MacOS version. All the legacy crappy stuff (including MS-DOS and x86 assembly bits) has been commented out and replaced with SDL2/OpenGL.
At the moment I'm experiencing some rendering issues during the main game loop (see the attachment), I think it's a matter of misalignments/corruption of memory that are occurring somewhere, quite annoying... However file IO operations are ok now, it's able to load the game positions saved by Shockolate and mouse events are fine, too, although there are still some small bugs.
Yes, there are a lot of fixed floating point numbers obviously, for a Classic Amiga AGA version there will need to replace them with 680x0 assembly code as well as a proper C2P routine. Here it doesn't go beyond 20 FPS, I believe because of the limits of AxRuntime.

@dipsomania

I for one commend this effort and admire your progress.

Not only was a "dead" thread plucked from the black abyss, but an elder game will now be reanimated. I grant you the title of Honorary Necromancer! Y'AI 'NG'NGAH, YOG-SOTHOTH H'EE-L'GEB F'AI THRODOG UAAAH!
