Man, so many things seem to have been done since the last time I looked. Good job BSzilli!
My apologies for the failed promises of assistance I gave. You mention an "official" version but the link posted seems expired now. Is that version officially available from any vendor? And we still need to work on a non accelerated version. |

The link to the shop changed, I'll edit that post as well: https://www.aeros-os.org/rapidcartpr.../35/Catacomb3D
I'm not sure what you mean by non-accelerated version, but patches are always welcome. |

BSzili how many blocks of NV-RAM does a save take on Catacomb 3D?

I think it's about a dozen bytes, so that would make 2 blocks.

Heya BSzili,
Thought I'd try and get "Keen Dreams" working. I can't remember where I got this file from, but these are the contents: Looked at https://keenwiki.shikadi.net/wiki/Keen_Dreams_Versions, but since I can't even get it to load (just a black screen), I'm not sure how to identify. Is it only the shareware 1.13 version that's supported? Edit: ah, if I press a key it then drops back to shell with this message "Error: BEL_Cross_SelectGameInstallation: No compatible game installation found!"... Guess whatever I have above is not supported. Last edited by DamienD; 11 March 2021 at 15:05. |

The 1.13 shareware version also contains the full game, so you won't miss anything by playing that.

I've tried several versions of Catacombs Armageddon and Catacombs Apocalypse and none of them work. I've checked the CRC's against the source, but none match. I assume that the executables are only compatible with the GOG version.

I've now managed to source 1.93 so no more nagging Shareware screen. I just setup all 4 x Catacomb games yesterday without issue; but I used the GoG version. |

The GOG pack works fine, but there is no Music.... (i saw a CD32 YT video and they had the Adlib "music")
Do i have to convert the "music" like in Doom and Wolfenstein 3D ? Btw. the Mouse turning speed is so slow in, Abyss, Apocalypse and Armageddon...but is fine in Cat3D. Why ? and how can it be changed ? Thanks Last edited by Torti-the-Smurf; 15 January 2024 at 01:54. Reason: typo |

When I did this the tool to convert the AdLib sounds/music was still in its infancy. It wasn't user friendly or fully automated. One day I'll revisit this project, but currently I'm busy with other things.

That´s ok. Not much is lost; i guess. The "OST" goes something like this ...
"ding .. da .. ding........ dinnnnng .... dinnnnnng....." Greetings |

I got Keen Dreams working, but no luck with any of the Catacomb 3D games, Abyss at least runs but crashes on the face and two paragraphs of text intro screen using the shareware version linked in the first post.
Other versions i can't even get that far. I am missing something here!? Do i need to add anything to the command line? I have tried to add the data folder name i.e cat3d122 but just returns back to WB regardless. an someone upload an installed shareware version with amiga executable ready to go please? |
