| My 2 cents as humble as they are. I don't mean to poke at you Lantus. Lord knows I have no skills at doing this. I do think you wasted your time in your Q2 port though since you never took it beyond Repi's version. |
If he learned something from doing this port then it wasn't a waste of time. If anything, he's a better programmer now. I mean, how can you not learn something by working with John Carmack's code? :D If he becomes even more proficient in coding, he can improve his sdl libs even more. And with more devs using the sdl libs that he produces, it benefits everyone.
did you guys read lantus forum he said hes working on a directx port of q1 and q2
should proly cheer him on at his forum =P
where on his forums did u get that info? i havent seen him post anything in like 2 months ....
Ya Lantus was working on a GL Wrapper for Quake 1, and was not far from being done, last I talked to him, but that was months ago. I think he is on vacation from coding or something...
...who knows maybe he got a job offer?
Anyhow, if you play Repi's port long enough, it wills screw up, crash and what not, left and right. Some people played it from beginning to end with hardly any hassel, then there is the rest of us whose save files got corrupted, or the game woudl screw up when we loaded our last saves, etc. In my case I only had a few levels left and got screwed over by the unfinished code.
So thankx to Lantus, I was able to finally beat the game. And thankx to his Menu Loader, I was able to play many expansion packs without having to have multiple copies on Repi's Quake 2 on my XBOX, each one modified with the files from the MOD pack.
This may be in software mode, but other than that, I can't bitch at all.
Wonder if he still plans on working on DOOM Legacy?
yeah i agree lantus quake x2 le may not have the graphics but atleast the game plays. Mine always would freeze durring a part of the game.. but in lantuses port it dosnt.
will be cool to see some more ports from the man :beer:

both got their good points.
repis has better graphics
but lantus's is more stable.
cheerz
the biggest bummer for me was that neither one could host a modded game like CTF. they could play one a CTF hosted by computer. they both could use lantus front end loader. i only had the one copy of repi on my xbox and could load lots of mods.
just could never host the changes :(
But you can host dedicated server on your pc why would you want to host on your xbox it would be slow =P
Installed Quake2X LE first and agree that the graphics could be better.
Downloaded Repi`s version today, installed it and messed the video settings/resolution settings. When I start up Q2XRepi now I hear the game sound, but have a black screen. Deleted the game folder and re-installed (FTPed all the files to XBox HD), but I still get a black screen. Any ideas which file I would have to delete? Probably something in the TDATA folder on drive E:? Any help would be appreciated.
