Quote:Terminal Velocity works fine in Connectix Virtual PC.

OK, when running TV in VPC (with DOS 6.21 as the guest OS) I'll get this problem where the keyboard will hard lock in one direction causing me to spin out of control. The quick fix is to press Esc twice but that is not only annoying but the problem will just recur a few seconds later anyway. Know of a proper solution?

Yep thanks to Tenebrae I will be replaying Scourge of Armagon and Dissolution of Eternity, after finishing up Quake 2 of course. I got a couple of weeks before university starts again so this is quite excellent.

I'm really busy these days, but I'll definately look at these other Quake releases.
 
Between these great old 3D shooters and MAME on XP, who needs to buy new games?

I think with tenebrae you need to add in the console, +mlook 1 for mouse looking, I can't remember if its implemented in the menus.
 
As an addition, I was checking out the new Doomsday engine release, there are some new high resolution textures for Jheretic and Jhexen, the textures stay true to the original games but have been modified with Photoshop to give them a much sharper look.

By the way I came across some new high resolution textures for Quake.

And after discovering these I came to another Quake source port which is a continuation of TomazQuake, which is now pretty much dead, its called TeleJano and will probably run better than Tenebrae but won't look like Tenebrae.

That's rough, hope it turns out ok.
 
Yeah I'll keep posting news on the source port front on this thread, they just keep getting better. I mean just look at Tenebrae, who would have thought that Quake 1 would like that?

Because it was in XP gaming. This applies to 9x/NT4/2K as well. Gaming applies to all OS's...not just XP as MS would like you to believe.

So you were just looking for something to 'moderate' then

Keep your eyes on this sucker:
Quake 2 Evolved

Now that is impressive...

It is quite amazing what amateur mod guys can do these days.

Evolved has really impressed me, the fogging looks great and for once Q2 isn't dark, the engine has adjustable intensity and lighting settings. For me I have to keep the brightness really high since the game is just too dark. I used to use a utility called Q2Gamma, but while makes the colors look brighter the game still looks WAY too dark in some areas. They have a ton of more improvements to implement, I was reading most of them at the PlanetQuake forums, they are quite eager with this project. Should be a good one.

The first beta release of Quake 2 Evolved has arrived, and I am quite impressed.

Hey, great screen shot, I like the fact that this source port really gives the Quake 2 game engine a major brightness overhaul. The game is just so dark for me normally, but now it looks nicer when you adjust the overbright settings.

If you hadn't seen this yet, have a look here.

Recently 3D Realm's released the source code to Rise of the Triad. While I wasn't big fan of this game, the source is out and I am sure in time ports for OpenGL/Direct3D/Win32/Linux and Mac will come along. You can check it out at:
 
www.3drealms.com
 
Now if only 3D Realm's would release the source for the BUILD engine, then it would be easier for fans to make GL ports of Blood, Duke Nukem 3D, Shadow Warrior, and Redneck Rampage.

The BUILD engine source is out. Released by Ken Silverman himself. Unfortunately the games you listed use many parts which were not programmed by Ken.

pmistry no Fury3 is Terminal Velocity but HellBender was remake of Terminal Velocity or aka Fury3.

Ahh that clears that up, thanks.

To DosFreak, I didn't even know that the BUILD source was out, however, the fact that you mentioned that some parts of the engine were programmed by others, explains why source ports haven't evolved for those games.

That is all I got...thought I would just update peope on the status of these projects.

Hi AlecStarr,
 
I totally forgot to put Wolfenstein ports into my last post...and I just ran across a post that a new release of NewHexen actually came out! So the project is not dead as I thought it was...lol. I am going to update my last post.
 
PS - That Tenebrae 2 really looks GOOD. The new re-made textures for Heretic and Hexen sure make those games look like they are on steroids. Who would have thought those games and Doom would be so buffed up like they are today, new graphics, new textures, 3D models, upgraded sound engine, 3D acceleration....wow. Furthermore, the guy who works on Doomsday will work on Pixel Shader technology to make those games look a bit more like Tenebrae.
