Wolfenstein 3D on 68020 14 MHz

[BSzili]

Thanks! I'll think about it later, but having both 2x1 and 1x1 would require a significant rework. For now I plan to take a break from Wolfenstein 3D so I can update the Blake Stone and Catacomb games.
What system do you have, is AmiWolf not fast enough on it?

[Jacques]

I own two A1200's: Blizzard 1230-IV and Warp 1260 equipped. Obviously 060 is quick enough for AmiWolf (+RTG version), but it's not as quick as it could have been on 030.
I understand your need for a break, though, but it would be excellent to have quick and flexible conversion one day to suit different systems best.

Someone tried to run the game on A4000/040 Workbench 3.0, ROM 3.0 or 3.1. I`ve tried several version of Wolf 3D files and game won`t run

[BSzili]

"Won't run" is a bit too vague, could you describe the problem is more details? A screenshot would also be helpful.

[LaBodilsen]

Any hint on how i can compile this code.. beeing a little new to c.

Maybe the same monitor problem as I had. (DEVS)

First get Bebbo's toolchain:
https://github.com/bebbo/amiga-gcc
then build it with this command:

make -f Makefile.amiga

Im just clicking and game wont start. Any message or error. Just "attempting to load wolf3d" flashes for a second...and nothing happens

[BSzili]

I see, the data is definitely good. Did you try running it from the shell? Something like this:

stack 8192
wolf3d

SnoopDOS might also give some clues about what's happening.

[AgnusFatts]

OMG, i was so stupid....

lowlevel.library was missing.

Now everything working fine.... I'm sorry for taking up your time.

[BSzili]

No worries, I'm glad it's working now. I should probably mention the lowlevel.library requirement in the readme, since the game runs fine on Workbench 3.0 otherwise.

[AgnusFatts]

Yes, it's a good thing to do because a lowlevel.library is a not standard part of WB 3.0. I didn`t noticed any problems with WB 3.0, game is running without any problems.

Runs perfect on CD32+TF330 using a CD32 pad (KTRL32).

I happen to have a keyboard but otherwise giving a name for a savegame would be blocking. My guess is not many CD32 users have a keyboard attached, maybe accepting an empty name / or a predefined save name would make it completely pad-controllable.
Just a minor observation, otherwise it really is perfect.

Thank you for this hint. I have some ideas I want to try out, but my skills might not be up to the task

But i get this error:
sh: echo: No such file or directory
sh: *** [Makefile.amiga:166: id_ca.o] Error 127

The game does accept empty save names, but good luck figuring out which one is which I didn't really think of adding automatic names as there are a few other actions you can't perform with a controller only, e.g. switching weapons. People with expanded CD32 systems usually have a keyboard too, and the game doesn't run well on a stock CD32 system anyway.

You can try to remove the echoes from the makefile, but if that doesn't work then you'll likely run into other issues along the way.

Thanks..
i finally got it to compile. Had to configure vasm (vbcc) aswell, and change some include file paths in the c2p source files.

But now it works, and I have played it with my own compiled version. sweet!

[BSzili]

That's nice, have fun with it!

Runs fine on my stock A1200 (see details in sig) with 8mb fast RAM, getting 8 fps steady (TAB-D) with music enabled.

The conversion on first run took some time, the sounds were converted relatively fast but the music took roughly 200 seconds each on average (26 total).

Overall I think this runs faster on stock A1200 with 68EC020 at 14MHz than AmiWolf did with a 68030 at 33MHz (used to have an ACA-1232 installed, now bork).

[BSzili]

Thanks, I tried to get close the original requierements of the game. 8 fps sounds a bit low, I usually get 10-12 unless there are a lot of sprites on the screen. Did you increase the view size?

The default for me was a screen size which covers the fps counter, if I make the screen a tiny bit smaller so the fps counter is just above the screen then it's 9-10 fps.

I tried with a minimal startup-sequence, got same fps, doesn't seem to matter if CMQ030 is loaded or not either (that makes a difference with AmiWolf).

EDIT:

The version I downloaded was 1.0 from Aminet:
