Doom 3 engine release and game code

[revelator]

if dhewm got mh's new vbo code in that would be a good starting point.
depends though if you use unofficial mods like in hell then dhewm3 wont work because its not 100% compatible with doom3's dll architecture.
My port should also be fine but a bug sneaked in killing ATI performance though i think i got that one fixed now.
your welcome to try a build of it but if it performs like crap then the ATI is most likely still in effect.
Several other ports also but not many in active development and some are linux or android only.
Mine is probably the only version fully compatible with Doom3 + mods in active development unless Mh has cooked further on the version he was working on ?.
I got an early copy of his engine but it has a slight bug with model shadows/lighting making it look a bit strange.

I havent patched dhewm3 with that code so if hees not done it himself it should be ok

one 560 has less microstutterring but timedemo still crashes with that function .

cd key check is removed in my build not dhewms and only reason is that someone nicked my key so i cannot play it without
i do have the original cd cases +cd's still so if ID asks ill send them that.

my version has an approximation of carmacks reverse using stencilopseperate not sure if dhewm does.
if in EU using the stencilopseperate version should be safe but theres been some doubt if it also applies in US (patents on algorithms are big sigh).

I do however notice flickering lights of torches, fire etc...

are you using sikkmod with it ? asking because sikkmod does do that.

Fellas - just wanted to say thanks to all who contributed. Downloaded reckless's tweaked dhewm and once I eventually found where steam had installed Doom3 I was away. Also found an autoexec tweak to get widescreen so running at native res of 1366x768 with ultra detail without any hitches or slowdowns at all. Of course not got far yet (honey do list calling) but I can remember even the starting sequence bringing my then high end Nvidia powered laptop to it's knees back in the day.

Cheers, kempie

Np m8 glad it works like it should.

Forgot to mention.

Instead of doing autoexec tricks to get widescreen reolutions there exists a High Def menu for Doom3 from 6'th venom (use google).
Its more tuned towards mod support but it works fine as a replacement for Doom3's own menu. My own port uses it also.
It also has menu settings for benchmarking and image quality and a rather cool multiplayer menu

Its been around some years but not everyone might know it so i felt that mentioning it might be nice
only bug so far with it is that you cannot overwrite savegames with it but someone who knows the gui syntax might be able to fix that pretty easily.
theres also a version for the expansion pack

for doom3
for resurrection of evil
