Basically, the program was inspecting the contents of "C:" instead of "C:\". It's basically another example of a bug I wasn't aware of, due to the project not being as commonly used, and/or due to not having a good place for bug reports. Yeah, I got a similar report from someone else about this. Browsing my home dir did work, so I just copied the game files there. I've tried the win64 version on Windows 10 and noticed that I could not browse my c: drive. For the Wolfenstein 3D based games, if you try to use a wall right after pushing it, the behaviors are essentially undefined. There are other potential problems with timing in Wolfenstein 3D, which might partially be related to instances in which the game tries to render more often than the host display's refresh rate. The rate of palette updates in Wolfenstein 3D is at least somewhat imprecise.
Currently, there's no good way to support auto-detection of data with alternative file names. For Super 3-D Noah's Ark, this exe currently has to be named noah3dos.exe, as this is the way it arrives from Steam right now. In order to detect game data, you also need the original DOS exe (albeit the 2015 edition of Keen Dreams is an exception).
I still haven't decided how to approach this. More generally, you can't load TCs made to work with original EXEs from the 90s (as released by id and/or related publishers). For technical reasons, you can't load the Spear of Destiny mission packs. I think that the other games should still have it, though. These games have no support for the "modern" game controller scheme. You can't save games or load saved games in Wolf3D and the games based on it. With the assistance of the gamesrc-ver-recreation/wolf3d tree, the last release introduces support for Wolfenstein 3D, Spear of Destiny (excluding the mission packs) and Super 3-D Noah's Ark (DOS version).įor Wolfenstein 3D, this currently covers Apogee shareware versions 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 and 1.4 (the one with cheats), as well as 6-episodes Activision v1.4.įor Spear of Destiny, this covers FormGen demo v1.0 and Activision v1.4.įor Super 3-D Noah's Ark, this covers the one Wisdom Tree DOS version that I'm aware of. Recently, I've been working on the source ports again. Reason is that I already knew that a lot of the code was common.įollowing Keen Dreams, I added Catacomb Abyss, then Catacomb 3-D, and finally the rest of the Catacomb Adventure Series.
On September 26 2014, I released a new port of Keen Dreams, initially titled "Chocolate Keen Dreams".Īlthough Keen Dreams was released earlier in the same month, I actually started some work on it even earlier, after the Catacombs were open-sourced (in June 2014). Let me introduce you to the following source ports inspired by Chocolate Doom, now also covering Wolfenstein 3D:
