BlitzQuake_wos.lha GLquake & GLqwcl for WOS (MiniGL/Warp3D) CRASH!!!

[keropi]

Ok, I always wanted to try this port of Quake , but NEVER actually succeded to run it, not with my BPPC and not with my current CS-PPC!

It looks great,

Requires: PPC, 64MB RAM, WarpOS, Warp3D v4.2
Architecture: ppc-warpup

BlitzQuake - GLQuake and GLQwcl ports by Christian Michael
GLqwcl/GLquake for WarpOS (v1.0 - first Aminet-Release)

Changes since beta4 (was 68k-only):
WarpOS versions of GLquake/GLqwcl - compiled with GCC
IMPORTANT: needs at least 600K stack set manually
- Scripts for launching from quakedir: are included

I suppose it supports warp3D , so it looks better... but I always get a ppc exception when running it, I changed the stack tooltype to 610000 , also did assign quakedir: [install dir] (I cannot see any scripts!) but nothing works!
Has anyone ever run this? I tried all the ports I could find on aminet, no other seems to have warp3D support! any suggestions?

[adolescent]

600k is 614400 bytes... Not sure if that will actually help anything though.

[keropi]

stack did not help at all... even at 650000

[keropi]

so I guess noone has ever run it?

[RetroMan]

BlitzQuake runs fine here on A1200PPC 240/060 with BVision ...

But I don´t have a BVision anymore and the tower is disassembled to put in a mediator with voodoo3 .... so I really cannot test anything right now

[keropi]

so what RetroMan, u just click the icon? does it have 3D acceleration?

[Michael]

So anyone can confirm that BlitzQuake runs fine on A1200PPC WOS/BVision setup ?
Tried a lot of things without any luck, same problems as keropi.

68K version of BlitzQuake works nicely with Warp3D/BVPPC.
A different GLQuakeWOS works well too.

But not the aminet version of BlitzQuakeWOS dated from 2002.
Maybe other versions available?

[Bamiga2002]

I think it needs more stack (try 4096000) + you will maybe need to disable your wallpaper/window patterns for extra videomem.

If you have the time, please try FullWin. You maybe need to change the game-script a bit with BVision but I dare you !

[roy bates]

what graphics card are you using?
i had to edit the script you click on so it uses a screenmode thats available.
i dont have it for ppc i use the 68k version.

try and see if you get the gears demo to work as this will confirm warp3d is working.

[fitzsteve]

I never get this to work with bvison, it only works with my mediator /voodoo 3

Interestingly the 68k version works just fine!

isent the bvision a permidia chip?

on ppc wasent there something about disabling the mmu in envarc or something or other? for mediator use.or was that just for the voodoo.

[fitzsteve]

Yeah BVision has the permedia chip.

Not sure about the latter though, I kept backups of all my working configurations, it was painful getting it all going I remember that much but not exactly what I done to get it all working

[Michael]

No luck with GLQuakeWOS_Blitz so far.
It opens a grey screen, and a second later you get WOS exception :-(

68K version performs nicely in 512x384x15 screen at 20FPS
So I guess settings are ok and all files are ok.
I suspect there might be something wrong with the LQuakeWOS_Blitz aminet version.

So far nobody confirms getting it to run on BVisionPPC with WOS ?

[Michael]

Anyway to check how much ram is used on GFX card ?

Made some more progress, disabled audio (-nosound)
Also put WB to lowres to save max video memory.
Stack 10 000 000 ! (overkill)
Now the engine loads longer before crashing and takes about 60 MB of fast ram
previously took 30 MB.
Grey screen.
WOS - Memory protection violation Accees to 00000000

This is illogical! All GL games that open their own screen open a window on that screen that you don't see since all borders are 0 where the GFX is rendered (try sysinspector - screens - windows)

PS: Still no luck getting GLQuakeWOS_Blitz running, tried to switch off memory protection, but still get WOS Access violation error! Odd.
The only difference is address now is 00000CE not 00000000

I know it's illogical, I wondered that myself! But it speeds up the games anyway so it must be a good thing no ?

What video address have you specified in WarpOS prefs? What are your other WarpOS-settings? Are you using ppc-libemu?

[Michael]

My settings

[Bamiga2002]

If you're using ppclibemu you should specify 'TERMINATOR=0'.

[Cowcat]

I recompiled a new Blitz version for bvppc.

[Michael]

Cool, found it, and it rocks!
