[23] :
07. Jan 2004 14:46
Hi there!
Just reading the comments and so I have to clearify some things I guess. c64files does not copy news from c64.sk, if there is a nearly 1:1 copy than it’s because the same news was found on the news-author’s page as well. And: c64.sk is of course in the c64files.com link list. :)
[24] :
07. Jan 2004 15:03
@MacGyver: I know you have off-topic news at related but the problem for me is that the news appears immediately after submitting and only after checking by the admin (which might take some minutes or more) the news will be moved or deleted. I mean if someone posts something like "hey, atari forever blabla" it would be very annoying to have a text like this on the front page...
That’s why c64files.com is moderated but still then everybody is able to submit news so it’s sort of "open" as well ;)
[25] :
07. Jan 2004 15:37
Hmm.. at least the covertbitops news wording is almost 100% like from c64.sk, while I have different update message on my own page :)
[26] :
07. Jan 2004 16:03
[24] I don’t know why, and I really don’t want to speculate or boast about it, but it seems that sceners respect this privilege of having unobtrusive way of adding news without need to register, withouth need to give away their e-mail addy, or remembering another login and password. This is how I thought it would work best, and so far it works for 2 and half years already.

@26: This is one of the very rare occasions on which I can’t say but that I agree 100%. -=#>;8D Christian might be right that it’s easy to abuse this system, but it’s empirically verified that at c64.sk the system isn’t abused and works more or less perfectly, which is a fact to be happy with. Seems you’ve had the right mixture of luck and craft, dude.
Wotnau

07. Jan 2004 16:43
[26] that’s not the point. I didn’t wrote about the need of registering (which is not necessarily for c64files.com in order to submit news etc.). I just pointed out why I do not want to have a non moderated news system. That’s all...
[29] :
07. Jan 2004 17:44
[28] no need to argue, rather keep mentioning the source of the news. That what is right thing to do.

I’d expect democoders to be interested in creating demos :) Anyway, there are likely legal matters as well. If there’s money involved it’s no longer just a fan-project.
[78] :
19. Jan 2004 09:40
@mac guyver: less than 50% of those you are naming could do the job, and i can say for 60% of the remaining that they arent interisted, without asking them. (and as for the rest of the list, do you realize he demands it in 2004, not 2010 ? :o))
@cadaver: legal issues...no, it has been done before :) the trick is to only pay for a "doom capable engine" - and you still use the original levels (thats the only thing that can be claimed to be copyrighted)
however, the biggest problem is that the guy doesnt seem to realize the work involved. the coding is *NOT* the major work. doom engines are easy. (mmmh maybe even some of those who i think cant do it could learn how to do it :)). the major time consuming job would be making the actual game once you have the engine, and that would mean a *lot* of annyoing conversion work if you’d really demand the original levels. nothing anyone with a sane mind would consider doing for $200 :)
oh well. despite of all that, try playing one of the few amiga games that work in 160x200 (4colors "koala" should be pretty much the max what might be possible concerning doom and scpu) and see yourself how much it sux (_although_ the amiga would be using more colors).
oh well. this is just going to end the same way as the "graphical webbrowser" challenge. someone will come up with something crappy and claim to have done it, although its by far not even near to what was originally planned.
oh well. maybe he should better reward some money to someone who has done it before for teaching someone who is motivated enough (AND has scpu ;)) on how to do it.
just dont get me wrong. my intend isnt to discourage anyone. i’m just amazed by the naiveness of the original poster.
gpz
[79] :
19. Jan 2004 11:14
I agree with gpz in the point that the work invested into playable and accurate coversion is quite a big gulp, so I hope there will be someone enthusiastic enough to do it for the sake of honour. For a starter someone should accurately try to convert first level to full playable game with all enemies in the place, artificial "intelligence" to preview that it can be done. Btw I suppose such conversion would need handmade texture adaptation more than just automatic gfx conversion. On TV screen the 160x200 could look quite cute. And btw. the environment quality is not that important (if it’s moving ;-) than the quality of enemies themselves, so that’s the place where I could reccomend to invest the most energy. Make them beasts look believable so we gonna love to shoot them ;-))

Post scriptum: I’m no expert in this area so I reserve to have misconceptions and dumb ideas about it ;-).
CreaMD
[81] :
19. Jan 2004 13:43
the problem is that, as cadaver pointed out, there is a problem with "remaking" the original look/textures/whatever. you *must* use a converter to derive the data from the original levels, and evenmore you can not provide the levels with your program - you can only provide a converter so anyone can convert the levels from his original copy of DOOM (*cough*). so that doesnt only mean that you have to write a doom engine that runs on scpu (which aint to hard, as said before) but you also gotta write a converter for the levels that runs on scpu (which will probably be pain-in-the-ass(tm), and eat (much) more time then the actual engine)
gpz
[82] :
19. Jan 2004 14:42
Clever :) But I presume at least music would become quite horrible if not handconverted..
[83] :
19. Jan 2004 14:50
..of course there can be separate handmade-musicpack, handmade-texture pack etc. which are in theory in no way affliated with the Commodore Scene..
[84] :
19. Jan 2004 14:58
mmmh didnt the first DOOM just have crappy midi tunes anyway? :O) anyway, yeah...such texture/music/level packs could ofcourse be done.... you still couldnt bundle them with your program though (unless you create new levels, and redesign the look).
gpz
[85] :
19. Jan 2004 15:59
About DOOM for the scpu. Can’t one just recompile the original sources (released ages ago), write a nice "chunky to 16-color" (fullscreen) FLI conversion routine (using a table or two) and start from there? One can just forget about the music and add some sound effects and start optimizing the code. I guess the texture mapper would be top priority. If I remember correctly, DOOM when ported to the Amiga required 8MB of RAM, so with 16MB on the scpu, that shouldn’t be a problem.
AmiDog
[86] :
19. Jan 2004 16:05
LOL. yes that could be done. a) if a compiler existed that could do the job (jolz’s lcc port certainly can’t, and cc65 doesn’t support scpu yet) and b) if you could live with 0.5fps :o) moreover you shouldnt forget that there isnt any underlaying OS support for several things needed to do a straight port (eg virtual memory). anyway, if you provide a 65816 c-compiler that is relativly standard compliant, i volunteer to give it a try - just to have a good laugh :O)

Oh well. Ever seen e.g. Driller running on a SCPU? I think today’s guys could code it even faster, so the speed maybe wouldn’t be the problem. Why at all should Doom be converted for the C=64 when more of us have PC’s than the SCPU? Just to show off? I think being vainglorious is one of the nastiest ways of wasting one’s time. ;)

I’ve been wanting something like this for quite a long time in fact, but as with others I don’t see it happening for a variety of reasons - lack of interest, lack of the required hardware, lack of time, whatever.
But if I may add my two cents which everyone seems to be leaving out - why can’t the game run in 320x200 High-res/2-color mode, and use some kind of dithering (maybe even an error-diffusion scheme like Floyd-Steinberg or something) to give the appearance of say 16 or 32 shades of "grey" ?
I would think it would be considerably easier to draw such a display than to waste CPU time on FLI or similar or trying to plot to 160x200 Multicolor mode. And as CreaMD said, make the monsters believeable. Good gameplay is essential, no doubt, but if the display looks horrible *in a way that could be avoided* then no one will want to play it anyway.

My 50MHz ’030 based Amiga takes it’s time over Floyd, i’d have thought the idea of rendering it live on an SCPU was a no-no...? How about speeding stuff up by plotting 160x100 and duplicating every other line...? Square pixels good, yay?

noone doubted it could be done (look back in the comments). again, doom _engines_ are easy. it’s certainly doable on 20mhz/16mb ram. the point is that its going to be a _whole lot_ more work than the guy appearently can imagine. for someone who wouldnt have done it without getting paid, $200 is a joke for that kinda work. anyone else - why didnt he start already? :)

Scene is dead, long live the scene.
I can’t help it but I really don’t want to react in soon-to-be-closed CSDB threads anymore as it could cause more flames and the threads are about to be closed anyway, but here I would like to comment what Westbam had written today:
"I did not say that this forum could only be a part of the scene with all kinds of dumb flames all over the place, no! But I don?t see a problem with some flaming threads here and there. Besides, these three discussed threads received the most posts in the last weeks by FAR! These three flames were the reason for several old school pirates to get vailidated on here in the last few weeks..." (Westbam)
Yes, that is a correct, but I would like to add, that it only helped the active sceners to realise how detached they (long time ex-sceners) are from the active part of the scene. From historical point of view (which I have never doubted) the experiences and memories of the ex-C64-sceners are valuable and they can help to get improve the quality and quantity of information in the C64 Scene Database, but from the point of view of todays C64 scene they are, unfortunately, lost.
Over these few days in CSDB discussion, Westbam had shown a decent behaviour and gained my full respect as a person so I would like to apologise if he or any other old school pirate scener finds these words offensive, they weren’t meant to be.

Roman, I think you should post this reaction to csdb, i doubt it will cause any flames. And if it does I’ll support you as I agree a 100%

(about CSDb flame threads) While I’ve steered clear from the CSDb threads in question, I do want to say something here after reading the news: YUSS! While a flame thread can be a lot of fun as long as it’s kept harmless and merely done for the sake of sarcasm/irony/comedy, I did not like *that* flame thread and restrained myself from contributing with my personal barrel of liquid venom. I didn’t like it one bit, especially considering that it involved harmful alterations of the CSDb itself. How can someone do that? It’s as if someone in the government doesn’t like you and alters your record so that you’re officially dead. Or are called Carsten Ock from thereon. Doing stuff like that just because other people disagree with your views is immature and utterly repulsive - I’m glad that the kiddie(s) responsible is(are) kicked out of the house.

Hey Roman -
I’d have to agree with you about the "out of touch" feeling. Seems hard to believe that some people still act the same way they did 12+ years ago. Having read those threads brought back memories I had long forgotten, it was a good feeling. But I also couldn’t believe that some people still act in this manner after so many years.
BTW - Mike held back in those postings showing that is has actually changed unlike some of the others.
