- These are the id Software level building utils v29 for DOS.
-
- They were ported to DOS using watcom C and the DOS4GW dos extender.
-
- Unless you have a really great machine, you will need to set an environment
- variable so that dos4gw knows to make a swapfile to simulate memory. Here
- is an example that allows for a virtual memory size of 50 megs:
-
- set DOS4GVM=minmem#512 maxmem#8192 virtualsize#50000 swapfile#qbsp.swp
-
- This actually loads / swaps much faster than the cwsdpmi port that was
- done for the older version of the level building utils. But it could
- also be due to the revision of the actual code by John Carmack (the guy
- who can use his own last name and still have a cool IRC nick).
-
- Anyway have fun, I havent had any problems running qbsp or the bsp files
- it produces. Light and Vis also work, but at first I was getting stack
- errors (with a stack size of 64k) so I upped it to 128k. Hopefully this
- will be enough? Let me know.
-
- I have included the source (that I had to change / add to the id stuff,
- downloadable at ftp sites everywhere). If you are using Watcom, then it
- might be useful. Just copy over id's qbsp.c with the qbsp.c I put in
- source.zip, and put all the .lnk files and the makefile I have in source.zip
- into a directory with all the id source, and just type wmake.
-
- If you dont have Watcom, then go ahead and delete source.zip.
