Impressive, yes, maybe. But it's quite difficult to manage (large resourced code). This explains why there are some bugs that i know but cannot fix yet.
Best i could do with it is make it load a midi file, then crash with 8000000F (tried to use fpu ?)... |

I still play heroes of might and magic 3 daily !
I really would love to play Heroes 2 on the Amiga (even if i only under WinUAE). So when can we expect a playable version ? |

OW !! that was a hard punch
QON is to slow on a real Amiga, it's fact. Maybe i could get it to run a bit faster if i would recode it for 68030+ processors (it's entierly made in 68000). I could maybe also gain a little bit of speed if using Kaalms chunky to plannar routine. .. maybe.. probably not that much.. ..well , it's just so much work , and i'm not in the mood to get on it atm. I should probably edit my signature and remove QON from it, but who knows, maybe someone who could really , and i mean REALLY ! motivate me, might miss it then, we never know I think we should blam Blizzard for my lazyness ! Yes, World of Warcraft stole all my programming motivation ! And also Heroes of might and magic 3's fault ! don't forget Dark Soul's !! .. oh, and that remembers me i need to go level my Berzerker char in Skyrim !! NOW ! See you later !! |

PLEASE DON'T GIVE UP ON QUESTS OF NARGOTH!
I love it, it runs fine on my 030 A1200, I have explored the dungeons of the demos you released and was so surprised and flattered to see that I could choose myself as a playable character. I wish I could do more to motivate you to continue with this awesome game, I have had my hopes up since you started posting about it, I think it's brilliant and so impressive to see the 3D engine moving smoothly in 262,144 colours. I don't think it's so bad that you have spent all this time playing those great PC RPGs, when game developers play games it's called research! You're learning more about how to make your own game better. |

wow ! If this isn't motivation enough, then i don't know what else could be
Thank you Cammy ! You must read through the forums intensively and dayli, or how else could you have posted this so fast Well, i don't abandon the project, i have it just put on freeze. In fact i'm actually working on another Amiga project. It's a Captive remake we trying to do, some people from this forum. I don't think you will be able to check it out, it's a private forum, but i'll give you the link just so you can see it's true: http://eab.abime.net/forumdisplay.php?f=111 I definitively will continue QON affter this, i promize ! Thank you for the support ! And to Meynaf: sorry for talking about something else than Heroes of might and magic II on this thread, and i really expect you to make it playable before i continue the coding on QON ! |

About Quest of Nargoth I am very disappointed about its abandonment,I think it's the best project after Mr.Beanbag.I wonder if it would work faster with poor textures and a little popping though.I would have liked a playable level with enemies at least

*ahem*
Did you know that actual release is already playable ? It's just... slow. But you can play a game from start to end. Only thing you need is original (PC or Mac) game data files, including smacker anims. Now please extend QON to reach that level of playability |

Yes ! Got it to work ! It plays like the original on PC
I'm on WinUAE, and it plays even faster than the original. When the computer's turn comes, it plays ultra fast, i love it ! Some minor bugs i noticed (so far) : - I didn't have music (sound worked great). - I could not split my creature stacks with the shift key, and this bug is a major one for me ! Removes a lot of strategy Great work ! |

First I couldn't start the game because of anim files. But after replacing it, everything work just fine.
I miss only splitting unit in two. Any chance for HOMM 3? :P @edit http://forum.vcmi.eu/portal.php - Here is new heroes 3.5 engine recreated, but Amiga classic will be probably to slow for this engine. But original version need Pentium 133 and 32MB RAM, so maybe its possible to play with Amiga MC68060. Last edited by tom256; 09 February 2012 at 01:05. |

This is done now. Just waiting to be released. Maybe, maybe not. What are the features in HOMM3 that HOMM2 is lacking ? Quote:

Before i discovered homm3 , homm2 was my favorit game, and i played it really much. Homm3 is just some sort of super homm2 for me. - There are of course the 9 factions, instead of 6 for homm2. - Combat is more strategic, you can make your creatures wait on their turn, to strike at the end of the combat (fastest units will strike last), and the combat fields are a little larger. - The heroes are more charistmatic, with great unique and usefull skills for each, and there are more of them too. - Lot of ameliorations on building up your town. - Graphics are better (for me at least) - Sound too (listen to barbarian music ! or fortress ! just wonderfull !) - More artefacts and more of a lot of other things. It's just more of everything ! - Last but not least ! The random map generator !! This is a wonderfull thing that makes me still play homm3 daily !! Well, i don't remember homm2 enough anymore to add more things atm, because i stopped to play homm2 when homm3 came out, and that was many years agoo now. I play homm 3.5 too, like Tom256 pointed out. It's homm3 with even more ameliorations, but even the single homm 3.0 is miles ahead of homm2 for me Edit: There are still new projects for homm3 also ! Some Russian team is doing some (already playeable) expansion called Heart of the Abyss: http://heroescommunity.com/viewthread.php3?TID=26298 It's all in Russian atm, but they plan to have the english version soon !

Btw I don't like the HOMM3 units. Quote:
How can it be larger than the screen ? Units are smaller, aren't they ? Quote:
What are the HOMM3 specific skills ? A lot of them were already not very useful in HOMM2. Worse there, eh ? And the game is much slower. Quote:

Some versions (like mine) have it disabled (probably was buggy) but try HOMM2 at least V2 on the PC and have a nice day. Quote:
Btw isn't there an HOMM4 game on the PC, too ? Quote:

I cannot list them up all here. Almost all hero has it's own (a fiew have the same special skill). Some skills are: - The hero gets a 5% bonus to Logistic skill for each of his levels. Ie, if you are at lvl 10, you get 50% bonus to your logistic skill. If you have a 30% (expert) logistic, this means it's like if you had a 45% logistic skill (30% + 50% of 30% = 45%). - The hero gives you 350 suplementary gold per day. Or one other ressource per day. - The hero does specialize with one of his creatures, like Valeska for example, who is specialized with archers or the upgraded version (Marksmen), and so these get +1 speed, and also +1 att and +1 def for each 4 lvls Of Valeska. - Some heroes are specialized with a specific spell, like meteor shower for exemple, he then makes more damage with this spell. - And so on...

There are more things and the maps are bigger, so yes, it is a bit slower on the same PC. But the IA of the computer is also stronger. Barbarian music: [ Show youtube player ] You can find all other musics, with their town view, there too. You only played some sort of (probably early) demo, and you can say this ? Like i said, go play it for a longer while, i'm sure it would change your mind by far.. Don't forget, i played homm2 for a very intense and long while before homm3 came out too. I know both, you not.. This is prouve to me that you only played homm casualy. We are now at version 6 of heroes of might and magic. I personnaly preffer homm3. I have and played them all 6. I'm aware that Homm3 cannot fit on "normal" Amigas. It's just to big. There would have to be some sort of remake and not just source transposition. The graphics and animation would have to suffer a lot. Also the IA would probably have to be simplified a bit to make it fast enough. Probably not possible. |
