Hi!

I just checked those alternative Q2 Ports. Both are done as monolithic exe's so cannot support Mods. Regardless of which compiler is used. Basically they compiled the game.so/game.dll into the main exe, and so it cannot be exchanged.

If they provided me with the source-code (either as full source or as diff-files) of the enhancements they did I could integrate them into the mod-enabled port. My email is tirionareonwe@gmail.com. But if someone can tell me what email to write to, I can contact them too.

BTW: Gamepad/Joystick support I added in the meanwhile (through AmigaInput) myselves (it's still a bit Beta, but just sent a release candidate to my betatesters).

Best regards,
Steffen

The version from Huno will not work with the Mods.
At least on my tests the Mods only worked of the main game
and the mods were compiled with the same compiler (for example they
did not work with the os 4.1 update of q2 but if i recompiled
the os 4.1 update without a single sourcecodechange then they worked).

If huno sends me a diff of his enhancements i could
include his enhancements though (i am using a self-compiled
compiler through cygwin). What is his recent email address so i
Can discuss this with him? Thanks.

I continued a bit the work on H2 yesterday also.

As to how buying h2 from hyperion would work i
sent an email to Ben Hermans. Several people asked me already.
A solution will be found.

Hi!

I am happy to hear that people still buy these games I ported back then (back then for OS 3.x with WarpUP or 68k - note OS 4 version of Freespace was not from me, I think Entwickler-X did it ?

The Q2 Mods which will be ported (most of them were already ported to the original WarpUP-Q2 Exe, and some had a version for the earlier OS 4 Quake 2, but those did no longer run with the 4.1 Q2 Update).

Server-Only Multiplayer-Mods:

3zb2, acebot, Assault, Awaken2, Brazen, Domination, Freeze, Gameleader, Lithium, Multigrenade,
ProRocket, ProCTF, q2comp, sconf, SMD, TopRung, King of the Server

Multiplayer-Mods with Graphics changes or other big changes to be not only server-side:

Action, Annihilation, Basketball, Blastchamber, ChaosDM, Catch the Chicken, Dday, DevQ2, Faith/FaithDM/FaithTag,
Fireteam, Gunslinger, Headhunter, Holy Wars, Jailbreak, Napalm2, No-Items-Quake, Pig2k, Quake&Conquer,
Rip2, sniper, StVitus, Terror, Tfx (Team Fortress for Q2), Total Wars, UrbanDM/UrbanCTF, WarMod, Weapon Factory,
Wyrm, CTF

Multiplayer-Mod which might also be played in Singleplayer:

Air-Quake, Quake Racing

Singleplayer-Mods:

Ground Zero (rogue), The Reckoning (xatrix), Zaero

Walkthroughs:

Titanic (Walk through the Titanic ^^)

There might be a handful still added, but I think that's it more or less.

Best regards,

Yeah registergui will be completely replaced.

But also the game will be recompiled to OS 4 native
Executables instead of WarpUp stuff.

I will have a look at your script.

@kas1e: i will discuss the GL stuff with you by email!

Hi!

As to the 3D stuff I still have to look into this (I just came back to AmigaOS ^^). Is there a GL Library supporting this Warp3DNova stuff ?

As to SoF 2 - I am not aware that the source-code is available anywhere ? (I think some guys on PC are trying to get it working on a modified JK engine, but last I heard is this is far from working yet).

Best regards,
Steffen

Hi!

No, this is not a request for Heretic II OS 4 Update (I have seen several of them on various forums).

This is a message about that I started WORKING on the OS 4 update (I am the guy who originally ported Heretic II to the Amiga - and I am after more than a decade back to some Amiga coding).

It will still take a while to be finished though, but I have been doing good progress.

I also am working on an update of the Hyperion Quake 2 version. Basically the new features will be

- native AmigaInput support
- Support for Mods

The Q2 Mods will require recompiles (done by me ^^) of all of them (the ones I did many years ago for the WarpUP version or OS 4 native won't work with the OS 4.1 updated Q2 - not a fault of the update, but a fault of how Quake 2 Mods are created internally).

I have already ported a few dozens Mods to the new version but will wait on the release (new Q2 release will be available at Hyperion's site, same about H2) till the new Q2 Exe is fine.

The Mods released will also include ports of the three Level-CDs of Quake 2 additionally to various multiplayer mods like Devastation Quake 2 and Action Quake 2.

The Single-Player Level-CDs supported are:

- Ground Zero
- The Reckoning
- zaero (that one is more an unofficial one... but the level-design is really great!)

As to H2 I will also release OS 4 native ports of the Mods which were "Back then" released, and additionally I am working on a port of Tmod (a H2 Mod which included intelligent bots to fight against).
