Software News   Software News : New OS4 version of PrBOOM
   posted by balis on 15-Jan-2010 23:15:02 (6367 reads)
HunoPPC continues to supply the AmigaOS 4.x players with quality ports. He released a version of OS4 PrBoom GL, (OpenGL engine of Doom).

This version has been corrected and highly optimized compared to previous releases. Music management via Timidity (MIDI music player you need to install before) has been added and is now avalaible. Something we had not seen since the engine versions Doom for Amiga Classic.


Download it on OS4Depot

Its nice to see a new version of DOOM available for OS4.X, but after reading the readme then the amigaworld news post, can I or cant I use a real midi device for music?

I have both a Roland Mt-32 and a Roland Sound Canvas SC-55st I use to make mt classic graphics adventures sound right (not as good as possible now), just like they were designed to sound when created and I would love to use the soundCanvous with DOOM under OS4 like I do on the PC.

Great!

News should be more explaining and ALWAYS have screenshots/logos, etc attached.

Ikir, to disable the forward/backward mouse mouvement, you should set the vertical mouse sensivity to the minimum in the options.

Played with this a bit:

PrBoom now seems good enough to replace the rather slower (68k) DoomAttack, which is great. But dunno why moving the mouse forward/backwards defaults to moving you forward/back, as this is unlike any other FPS & is just confusing/unplayable (it should default to 0 sensitivity rather than requiring you to change it first).

OpenGL mode is interesting, but looks a bit "odd" (blurry to smooth scaling of tiny sprites/textures). Tried going back to 8-bit mode, which looks how I'd expect, but the "melting" at the end of the level is incredibly slow (only downside I can see).

Hope to get MIDI music, once I can get Timidity to work (no luck yet)...

Thats the way Doom was configured by default. Did not find anything confusing with it, even tempted me to buy a 486 instead of an A1200 back in 1995.

This is cool news. Now, for some shameless self-promotion. I have 2 single level maps at Aminet; Disraeli for Doom2 and Elfstomp for Ultimate Doom. I also uploaded Realm of Chaos, a 32-level megawad that replaces all 32 levels of Doom2, and for which I designed 7 levels, way back in 1999. This project was done by The Macintosh Team. I've recently returned to designing Doom levels and plan to release at least 3 full episodes this year. It would be really cool to have some Amiga-based beta testers. It's a fun thing to write up in the text file. I personally don't have an OS4 machine, but I see that PRBoom is available for MorphOS as well, which I hope to have installed this weekend on my Mac Mini.

If anyone is interested, they can download the levels already available and check them out, then decide if they'd like to beta-test. Testing Doom levels is fun but time consuming, as testers need to look for flaws and comment on various difficulty settings. I design for Ultra-Violence so I need UV players, but also Hurt me Plenty players and so on, to make sure those difficulties have a good balance.

PM me if you'd like to do some testing.

Now, if only someone would port Doombuilder or, since it's PPC, Hellmaker, the old Mac-based editor, which can be used in emulation, natch.

@EmperorLongo

The HunoPPC site is in french and english that mean you could post this informations on his site. I'm sure some betatesters with happily test your levels on the AmigaOS4.1.1.

http://www.clubevolution4.com/HunoPortSDL/

At least, go to the site and post link for your wads (or if not possible, write me all you want and I will post them for you. contact me in PM with the text you want I Ppost on the hunoPPC forum (english no problems) or do it yourself.

Also there are a part on the forum to propose things to be ported on the amigaOS4. You couls try to post a request for a Level builder (chose one actually supported and could be ported with OpenGL and SDL) and if HunoPPC think It's interesting, he may port your request.

The main thing is to found after betatesters for the doom builder port and too bad you haven't an Amiga for testing yourself (as you have knowledge of building wads).

@austgarden

this is strange, austgarden. Please, explain more the problem to us (the author will surely read this thread soon).
