amigadoom-1.10 0.5ß - Jan 2 1998 (trance)
Thanks to all the alpha and beta testers on #amiga_warez
In case you still don't know, I have ported this piece of code to
the Amiga, and my handle is trance, so if you see me on #amiga_warez
and have some questions to ask or problems to report turn to me!
Do not be confused with the other port done by Peter McGavin (ADoom),
which is also available on Aminet! There are some differences in the
ports.
Check out http://amigadoom.home.ml.org for latest release and other
information about the port!
Thanks to Thomas Tavoly and all the others for the Doom icons!
Thanks to Kamil Iskra for giving me tips for GNU C.
Greetings to Peter McGavin (ADoom)! You were the first one who had
sound support in Doom!
IMPORTANT:
This release has become beta (no more alphas), as this nasty major bug
has been fixed now. You can freely distribute this version, there are
no limitations from me (read the README.TXT from id Software to read the
license!)
You should run this game by executing the script or by clicking on the
icon from Workbench! You need to extend the stack, so it's easiest to
first edit the script and then only start it with that!
Before you can start the action you will most probably need to install
ixemul.library first! You can get the archive from ftp.ninemoons.com!
Since 0.4ß you should also check if you have installed lowlevel.library
in the Libs: drawer. It is needed for Joystick / Game Controller.
From 0.5ß you finally have AHI sound support! Install the latest release
and check it out! It is now working 100%!
If you want to use the panning function (stereo separation) you need to
select an audio mode with (++) in the end (Paula:Fast 8 bit stereo++).
You can change the sample rate (frequency) but it can slow down your
machine (only recommended for fast machines!).
Experimental:
I have added the networking code but it is not yet working 100%!
-net <consoleplayer> <host> <host> ...
-port <number>
where <consoleplayer> is your player number and the list of hosts are the
players who want to join in. <host> is either the IP or the name of the
host.
<consoleplayer> has to be different for each player who wants to join!
If you need to change the port number use -port <number>.
Let me know your experiences with this network game! I have tested the
network code on the Internet and basically it is working (thanks to
Quetzal for testing this with me :)... However, there are still some
problems (e.g. crashes after some time)...
Requirements:
ixemul-47.2 (ftp.ninemoons.com /pub/geekgadgets/current/amiga-bin/)

this need lowlevel.library to be installed!

HAPPY NEW YEAR I wish everybody happy new year... I will go to
party with some friends (drum'n'bass) ...
0.5ß 02/01/1998 first Aminet release

I rewrote the whole AHI part, now I use low
level code.

channels for AHI sound output
default is 4 (you can not lower this)
See you...
