BOOM (DOOM Enhanced) port to 68k

[NovaCoder]

Hiya,

I ported BOOM over to our fav platform to play around with Graffiti support (IndivisionAGA Mrk2). I thought I may as well release it now while I'm waiting for the new IndivisionAGA.


BOOM is an enhanced DOOM port that supports:

1) Removal of engine limits and bugs. This includes the visplane limit, the tutti-frutti and medusa effects, the save game size limit, the venetian blind crash, and many others.
2) SEO's to the engine.
3) extra editing features. These include: Configurable animated and switch textures. Deep effects water. scrolling walls, floors, and ceilings (including support for conveyor belts). Translucent walls. friction effects, examined as mud and ice. custom color maps (which can provide, for example to underwater blue "tint"). silent teleporters, Which can be useful for fake "room over room" effects. linedef Generic types - A Particular linedef behavior can be "calculated" using a separate program called TRIGCALC.EXE linedef calculator. A DeHackEd extension standard, BEX.


And it allows you to run total conversions like this one

AMIGA BOOM - ALIENS TOTAL CONVERSION for Ultimate DOOM

Find it at your local AmiNet store from tomorrow

Thanks master !

@NovaCoder

Hi mate, i just try it on my Sam440 (with AmigaOS 4.1 Update 4) but it doesn't seems to work correctly.

Before start it I change my tooltypes as:

displaytype=RTG
monitortype=PAL
cputype=68020

But after a double click on the exe i get a DSI crash:

Would be nice if you can solve it

[NovaCoder]

Sorry, but you need a real (Classic) Amiga for my port.

There must be some OS4 versions of DOOM? That would be a much better choice for you.

Yes there are already a few Doom port to OS4 but they have some audio glitch (except Chocolate Doom) so i was curious to try this version aswell

By the way i was able to reach the ASL requester, it comes after some time (lot of time) since i ignore the first DSI crash ... but then nothing happen !

[NovaCoder]

Woops, slight C2P issue found in v1.0.0.003, just uploaded v1.0.0.004 to fix (also fixed the gamma correct).

[Bamiga2002]

Just downloaded it and tried with Ultimate Doom wad and it's running good . It makes me wanna complete it "just one more time" . Nice touches with the setup compared to "normal" Doom ports.
Thanks!

[Tomcat]

Hi,
checked Boom on my A4000D/060 with PicassoIV. Runs great with AGA but with Tooltype RTG set i only can choose a Screenmode, then nothing happens. SnoopDOS says nothing, Amiga acts after that like i not startet Boom.
Must i set up a special Screenmode?

[Bamiga2002]

It must be a 320x200 8-bit screenmode. If you selected a wrong screenmode just delete the file "320_200.mode" file and select the right mode this time.

hello,
just a question. have you used this base port ? v2.02 Team TNT
I'm just curios

Yep it's based on that port.

[Bamiga2002]

Are you further enchancing this port Nova? Optimizing speed etc?
So I did it and began playing it all over again with ultra-violence!

It's about as fast as I can get it, when Jens releases the IndivisionAGA Mrk2 I'll add Graffiti support which should make it quicker for slower machines (060's should already be able to run it full speed).

Sorry, surely this has been asked, but will ScummVm take benefit of that Graffiti support too?

[NovaCoder]

That was my original plan but I don't think it will really help much to be honest. I'm already happy with the performance of the 040/060 C2P versions already and of course the RTG versions. The ECS version is very slow but obviously Graffiti won't help there

The 030 version is also a little slow but the problem is not with screen drawing. To get it running at a decent speed on an 030 I'd need to use an older version of ScummVM.

[NovaCoder]

Check out BOOM running on my new 040

[Retrofan]

Jeje... If you upgrade it to 060 you will have to drink Red Bull or something to play so fast

[XDelusion]

I'm about to take this home and have a go with it in Amithlon.

Does this support AHI per chance?

Hiya,

No this hits the hardware directly for more speed so it doesn't use AHI.


I made a new release to AmiNet yesterday that uses different RTG code (now using the CyberGFX API), can someone test and see if they can get it working.

[Bamiga2002]

Works like before, but maybe a *tad* faster framerate (or I'm just hoping) .

[NovaCoder]

It should be faster

[Bamiga2002]

Good, I wasn't dreming then . Compared to the older Boom-release and yes it's slightly faster

[utri007]

Could you add support Doom2Blood or make you own port it to it? That way Boom would offer totally new game for amiga hobbyists?

@ NovaCoder: Is there a chance of porting GLDoom to Amiga68k/Warp 3d ? 060+Voodoo III is more than capable to run this game ...

[NovaCoder]

Sorry but I only have very limited time for my Amiga ports and I'm currently working on Quake.

Really? Under OS4.1 Classic and PPC @330mhz/Radeon 9250 my A1200 struggles to run it

I guess it may just be a bad port...

Probably a bad port. Quake in hardware mode runs smooth on my setup in 512x384x16 (I,ve got 060@75Mhz +VoodooIII), QII is also playable.

@NovaCoder: Cool that you're making new soft for 68k It would be also nice to have Rise Of The Triad 68 k( there is an os4 version). Mabe in the future ?

[utri007]

There is modifigation wich allows run Blood wad with doom engine, that would be nice. Blood is really good game with scary athmosphere.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_%28video_game%29

It migh not be true, but anyway build engine would be nice and playable even with AGA.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Build_engine

AND it would allows games like, duke nukem, shadow warrior, witchaven 2, redneck rampage etc. tens of games.

There is already nice ports of doom and quake for 68k amigas, I do belive that you could do better, but do they offer anything new?

Sources are available

[Bamiga2002]

There seems to be a v2.02 version on aminet IIRC. What is changed in this latest version?

[NovaCoder]

Hiya,

Very minor change just tweaked the C2P and add some sanity checks around the CGX starup code, not worth down loading again if you already have it.

[melbourneben!]

Finally got a hard drive bigger than 40MB, time to check out Boom.

[XDelusion]

My 1200's are out of commission atm. In the mean time can some one please try out the pWAD file: Suspended In Dusk

http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/index.php?id=13851

and let me know how well it runs or if it locks up your system?

Thank you!

@NovaCoder

I cant remember my amiga.org password so rather than going into the other room to jump on my Windows box to retrieve it from my hotmail account I thought Id respond here (only have my a1200 and amithlon boxes online in this room, so cant access hotmail).

I finally got Boom working, albiet a little quirky. The crash was caused by having sound enabled, which kind of makes sense now that I read it doesnt support ahi. I can hopefully use nuldehpah or similar, so that's not a problem. What is a bit of a prob. though is that it still only occupies the top half of the screen, and is squashed. Is there some way to select a screenmode, or will I have to mode promote it?

Just out of curiosity, did you happen to play further than you did in the video? The reason I ask is because up ahead in that map and the others, the map really pushes classic DOOM to the edge, and I was wondering if those parts of the map caused a crash. I.E. the crate suspended in air.

I know the old XBOX port of Vanilla DOOM could not load this at all (though the XBOX port of Odamex does), so the fact that your 1200 does in fact run it is a good sign indeed!

BTW, I didn't fully understand your accent, but did you refer to Suspended in Disk as a Total Conversion?

For those reading, it is a partial conversion, no new enemies or weapons are present, but here are new textures....

From the DOOM World review:

"Doom has recently turned 12, and it seems like only a couple years ago we were swapping shareware disks because "You have to play this game". In that time we've see almost everything there is to Doom: pacifist Map07, glass floors and ceilings, and the advent of powerful ports. Yet, from time to time, a map comes along that still blows me away. Espi's Suspended in Dusk is that map. If I had seen you playing Suspended in Dusk and you told me it was running on Doom2.exe, I would tell you to get out... probably to make me a sandwich. Espi has squeezed every last ounce of what the Doom engine is capable of to give us this masterpiece. Sliding doors, 3D spacecrafts, blown open walls, floating crates... this sounds like a checklist from a JDoom or ZDoom mapset, but you would be wrong to assume so. Suspended in Dusk's largest saving grace is the plethora of textures and new artwork. It's no surprise that a map by Espi would feature breathtaking visuals, but it's impressive just how well they mesh with the already available stock Doom textures. Creeping along platforms that appear to be "suspended in dusk" and rising above bottomless chasms with broken pipes hanging around you is an experience I cannot describe; you must experience this wad for yourself."

If I'm not too tired from my bike ride today, I'll try BOOM again on my Amithlon Machine when I get home. I swear that last time I had a DOOM wad in the directory, though I think it was UDOOM.WAD which BOOM does not recognize without a name change. Maybe that's what the problem was.

Anyhow, I'll fire up nuldehpah (or related) and see if I can get sound going as well. Till my CPU Apollo board gets back to me, I won't be able to enjoy this on my real Amiga, though it does seem to run pretty well (aside of sound delays) in WinUAE (PUKE).

[fishyfish]

@XDelusion

Not sure if you noticed it, but there's a tooltype for specifying wad files used. At 1st I tried renaming them as well to get TC's and mods, etc. working, but then I noticed the tooltype option.

That Suspended In Dusk mod looks pretty decent for "normal" Doom, but am I alone in thinking it looks a bit like Breathless? Not a drastic difference between Doom and Breathless in looks at the best of times, but that screenshot looks pretty Breathless-ish to me.

We played it for a bit longer and got to the crate bit, still seemed to run ok.

Now that I've got BOOM up and running nicely on my 060 I'm going to have to try some of these excellent DOOM WAD's.

Great, thankx for checking!!!

Lost my job today, may not have my 1200's running any time soon, but I'll have plenty of time to tinker with this in Amithlon now.

Here's a map and megawad you may like. Both BOOM specific.

Sorry to hear you lost your job....that sux.

I actually did another little video of that conversion further on (showing the crate etc), I'll try and upload it later today.

Here ya go -> Suspended in Dusk (part 2)
