Add "Port to DOS" in there

You'd have to then truncate the long filenames, cook up a make file, etc. but it's still very possible to get it into DOS no matter how advanced the engine is. Hexen II's best port had a DOS version (H2 never was a DOS game)

If you do make Dreamcast hardware support in there (SGL api) you could hack in PowerVR PCX-2 support as well even though no one uses that card but me! But if you get one of those crappy cards (Apocalypse 3Dx) and optimize for that, it'll benefit the Dreamcast as well since the chip in that is a direct successor with the same features, plus blending. Good luck turning leafs into infinite planes, though... also remember, vertex lighting will help a ****lot**** for this chipset, so you'll also have to come up with a good implementation to translate lightmap to vertex.

Forget about ADX and MP3 streaming, that's very very patented.

Exactly. As I said, I didn't figure out the full effect yet, mostly because it was just a quick experiment I did years ago.

Those screenshots are from thread.

Right now I'm going to do some experiments with the sky renderer, there's something I want to change in it.

[edit] What I wanted was to:
- Make the lower part of the sky sphere scroll backwards.
- Flip the texture of the lower part of the sky sphere.

This should be enough to make the sky truly rotate, instead of splitting and merging into itself at the horizon.

However, I don't even know the name of the algorithm they used to draw the sky as an oval. was the best info I could find about it, but I don't understand it yet; gotta do some more tests.

Ideally, the sky should scroll in a trajectory that reminds of the lines of a shell turned on its side (its current trajectory seems to be somewhat different to that, though I'm not sure why):
