AmiQuake new 68k Quake Port for AGA/RTG

I just finished a new port of WinQuake to 68k (AGA/RTG).

Quote:

Overview:

Port of WinQuake which is the "official" source port of Quake to AmigaOS.

Requirements:

1) An AGA/RTG Amiga
2) A fast 68060 processor
3) 32MB of FASTRAM
4) The original game or demo

Features:

1) 256 color double buffered graphics
2) Mouse wheel support
3) Native Paula 8 bit stereo sound

Configuration Options:

There are a few Tooltypes to play with.

1) DISPLAY_TYPE: PAL, NTSC or RTG
2) CLOSE_WB: Close the Workbench (3.1 ROMS recommended)
3) nosound: Disable sound
4) rougue: Use the offical Quake TC
5) hipnotic: Use the offical Quake TC
6) game: Use the specified TC

Mouse interpolation is now enabled by default (console command 'm_filter').
Free mouse look is now enabled by default (console command '+mlook').
The maximum number of particles that can be used is now configurable (console
command 'r_maxparticles'),
this can be from as low as 8 particles up to a maximum of 2048 particles.

You must run AmiQuake from the WB, running from the Shell is not supported.
You must specify a stack of at least 300,000 (some Total Conversions may need
even more).
Any errors *should* be written to a file called 'ERROR.TXT' in the game
directory.

Performance Considerations:

1) If you have a Blizzard you should really be using BlizKick to get most speed
out of your Amiga,
Apollo users should be using RemApollo.
2) Install HSMathLibs.
3) Fast File System is actually really slow, use PFS3 instead.

Limitations:

1) No network support
2) No hardware 3D support

Thanks and acknowledgments:

The EAB beta testers, Peter McGavin for the starting point and John Selck for
the assembler routines.

This is another of my ports that could be enhanced with Indivision AGA Graffiti support one day :agree

Quake is very fast on 060@75Mhz,but is it possible to get 16bit PPC like the clickboom original 68k version but PPC so that the extra colours are displayed.

Did this ever get uploaded to Aminet?

Hiya,

Not yet sorry, been really busy this week. I'll try and package it up this weekend

Good to hear! My 80Mhz 060 is on it's way back from Poland. :)

Just uploaded 2 AmiNet.

Great, I'm looking forward to testing it out when I get back :)

Does the Malice addon I sent you work with it? If so what are the commands to get it going :cool

No not as fast as Clickboom's commercial release.....I'm just a part time coder :)

Yep Malice worked, just set it with the tooltype

Malice is very demanding though I found

hi any chance of a link cant find it cheers

This is only partially related, but I thought worth mentioning.

There is a port of Quake for the Nintendo DSi.

I was reading through the docs when I came across a line that said that they tested it with the Quake files from the Amiga release...

For what ever reason, I seem to find more and more Amiga users or ex-Amiga users developing homebrew for handhelds and home game systems.

Now what I'm wondering is if the resources on the Amiga CD are any different than the PC resources. Like was anything cut out to make it run smoother?

if it uses the pak files in the id drawer there all the same.(theres one for the psp as well)

Not as demanding as Aftershock,this addons is very hard you have to be lucky to get off the first level.

Don't forget the rare Shrak addon too.
