Short: Doom.wad walkthrough demo (ECS | AGA) Author: fehr@snowhite.aes.mb.doe.ca (John Fehr) Uploader: fehr snowhite aes mb doe ca (John Fehr) Type: game/misc Architecture: m68k-amigaos [ Note - This demo needs a 68020 or better cpu. There are different versions for aga and ecs machines. ] This is the first 'official' demo version of bsp. On the ECS machines it uses a 6 bitplane extra-halfbrite screen, while on AGA machines it uses a 256 color screen. This clone is different from all the others I've seen in that it actually uses a doom.wad file. (In other words, to run this program you MUST have either the shareware doom.wad file, or the registered one in the current directory. I would recommend the shareware one, because its -much- faster loading.) Quicker loading can be achieved with the 'addbuffers' command. What's new in version 1.0? A number of things, actually. First of all (and most important for most of you) its a LOT faster. (Between 5 and 10 times faster depending on your machine, at least with the machines I've tested it on.) Second, (and having quite a bit to do with the first) the fp stuff is gone. Well, most of it anyway. (How the heck am I supposed to get rid of sqrt? Anyone got an integer version? :) Third, there's an AGA version! (There may even be a EGS version coming soon.) Fourth, and this will make a number of people that emailed me with problems getting the screen to open happy, is that I've taken out the 'NTSC_MONITOR' tag, so it should open on any screen. I've also taken out the little sector dividing lines in the original version. Comments (and especially complements if you're so inclined) are welcome at the email address below. Of specific interest is the speed on various machines. (There's an option to test the speed.) Also, any bug reports (other then the sector dividing lines) are also welcome. The demo will (hopefully) be on aminet as gfx/misc/bsp1.0.lha. ALL code in this demo is Copyright 1994 by John Fehr. No portion of it can be used in any programs without the authors consent.
