BOOM - New AGA DOOM Port

NovaCoder · 08 September 2011, 06:00

I've been meaning to update ADoom for a while but can't really get on with the source code so I've started a new project based on BOOM.

You can read all about it here.

I'm using the source code from both ADoom and DoomAttack for reference so I don't expect any major issues.

I'm not bothered about online play so I'll just leave that stubbed out for now.

Music will be MUS only and use the ADOOM music/sfx library.

First release will probably be using C2P, with the newer releases using Graffiti.

I'm currently coding it using AmiDev (gcc) but I'm hoping to get it to compile under vbc after it's working for some extra speed.

Test version (or YouTube video) when it's done......

That's sounds neat, cant wait to see it working!

With all your ScummVm work and the tweaking and optimising c2p youve been doing, i was thinking you might make a demo next. But i think this is better!

Managed to tear myself away for ScummVM tweaking to move this project along a bit and reached an important milestone today and got the code to compile and link

My rough to-do list:

1) Get it to load up a demo WAD file
2) Get the screen display working (double buffered C2P)
3) Get the sound/music working (going to use the DOOM sound library for this).
4) Maybe have a look at getting the networking stuff working (if I can be bothered).

As soon as this thing is loading up a WAD file I'll update this thread again....

Made some more progress today....

So, what does it mean? What remains for a better video? jeje... and yes, your accuracy isn't the best...

EDIT: And to have it clear: the objetive is to have a faster ADoom or different?

bug-fixed, better WAD support and other improvements

Would it be trivial to add camd.lib support while this is developed ?. Would be a nice option to have external midi support and it might give back 1-2 fps to the game.

Twiggy · 05 February 2012, 12:40

Out of interest, how possible would it be for Boom to work on ECS?

Stripping out midi and adding mod support would be more Amiga friendly, but probably a big job.

With the doomattack source out, it shouldnt be a big job. Having the sound system plugin based would allow to choose between software/hardware midi, mod and whatever else.
