I was wondering sence the source for Duke 3D was GPL'd earlier in the year were their any projects to port it to MIPS yet?

I have had a look around and not found anything, guess i cuold have a go not that i have any idea where to start :P

I don't know, but it would be cool. Porting the whole build engine in general would get you Blood and Shadow Warrior too. Would be rather nice, should run fairly well across most systems since its mostly pixel fill as well.

I started to port it myself some time ago. But i soon had to see that this is just to big for me with my little spare time (a few x86 ASM files). A few weeks later i saw that some dude ported it to the dreamcast (driven by a SuperHitachi CPU), so obviously somebody had enough time :-).
All you have to do now is to checkout the CVS source from that DC Duke3d port and modify it to run on IRIX. I think its already SDL'ed.

I dont have the DC Duke3D URL here ATM - should be trivial to find using Google or BOOBs Dreamcast Research page.

Hmm, I thought somone had already ported it to SDL/LInux. I'll search around later on and see if I can locate anything.

god have those people not heard of tar!!!

got all the files and had a fiddle and it seems like the make file needs to be completly rewritten since most just about everyline of syntax is giving an error and to remove other random stuff checking for cygwin and BeOS

Guess it will be easier just to write a configure script!

But it seems like it should run from what i have read so heres hoping

I think you got the wrong version of the source. Go to http://www.icculus.org and grab the source from CVS. You have to grab the source for the build-engine too (thats the 3D engine from Ken Silverman/Apogee ported to SDL). Then edit the Makefile for buildengine and compile it. After that edit Makefile for Duke3d and compile. Its actually no big thing - worked here right out of the box.
I then started to port the source, wrote new Makefiles, cleaned the source up. I finaly had a somewhat working binary of Duke3d and a working binary of the mapeditor and the demo game of the build-engine.
I am now trying to debug it - maybe its just my version of Duke3D 1.4 datafiles that it doesn't like.

Anyway - i put the current binary (with SDL linked static) onto: ftp://ftp.mayn.de/pub/irix/games/

Try to run it with your versions of DOS Duke3D datafiles and tell whether it works (or most likely) not.

:-}

hi

i tried runningyour binary and i get

./duke3d -h
Duke Nukem 3D v1.4 - Atomic Edition
Copyright (c) 1996 3D Realms Entertainment

Using Setup file: 'DUKE3D.CFG'
STUB: CONTROL_ClearAssignments (CONTROL_ClearAssignments, control.c:209)
Compiling: 'GAME.CON'.
Code Size:0 bytes(0 labels).
* Hold Esc to Abort. *
Loading art header.
Checking sound inits.
Checking music inits.
Fatal signal: Bus Error (SDL Parachute Deployed)

The error i am guessing is that it is a sound problem. I run exactly the same DUKE3D.GRP on windows and get no error so it must be something to do with SDL

is there away to turn the sound off on execution?

iget some crackling on the speaker as well

and just incase anyone askes i am running it on a R5k 200 O2 with nothing special installed

Here are the command line parameters for the duke3d binary:

Code:
Command line help.  %s [/flags...]
 ?, /?         This help message
 /l##          Level (1-11)
 /v#           Volume (1-4)
 /s#           Skill (1-4)
 /r            Record demo
 /dFILE        Start to play demo FILE
 /m            No monsters
 /ns           No sound
 /nm           No music
 /t#           Respawn, 1 = Monsters, 2 = Items, 3 = Inventory, x = All
 /c#           MP mode, 1 = DukeMatch(spawn), 2 = Coop, 3 = Dukematch(no spawn)
 /q#           Fake multiplayer (2-8 players)
 /a            Use player AI (fake multiplayer only)
 /i#           Network mode (1/0) (multiplayer only) (default == 1)
 /f#           Send fewer packets (1, 2, 4) (multiplayer only)
 /gFILE, /g... Use multiple group files (must be last on command line)
 /xFILE        Compile FILE (default GAME.CON)
 /u#########   User's favorite weapon order (default: 3425689071)
 /#            Load and run a game (slot 0-9)
 /z            Skip memory check


BTW, i don't think that it is a sound problem here because sound init happens a few lines before (you can hear that *click,bzzzrzzrzzz,click*?). As soon as my GDB starts working (have to kick that stupid pile of shit badly before it is going to work - gdb 6.0 *sigh* the mips files didn't compile on IRIX with mipspro: void foo(); void bar( return foo(baz)); is no good!).

yep you quite right it is not a sound problem, of course the error given doesn't help us out to much.

I have had a simular error before abnd it was due to the endienness of the compile. There may be a flag somewhere which needs to be set to BigEndian.

Just a thought

I wouldn't have touched the code if there wasn't a target for a big endian machine already :-). I carefully checked the source for ENDIANES stuff (even had to fix it a little) and i think that it is all OK now.

But you are right - the bug will be most likely endianes based (or maybe even compiler based - there are issues with high opt levels). Sooner or later we will find it and have a working binary :O).
