Here is a quick little script which I wrote yesterday while making a
|
|
DOOM package for our local Slackware install server. It does the
|
|
following tricky stuff:
|
|
|
|
a) installs in .../bin while all the real DOOM! files go in
|
|
.../lib/doom.
|
|
b) restores the functionality of the DOOMWADDIR variable while still
|
|
permitting system-wide *.wad files (e.g. doom1.wad) to be stored in
|
|
.../lib/doom.
|
|
c) defines a new variable DOOMSAVEDIR, where the DOOM! save files go
|
|
(the default is the current directory).
|
|
|
|
Note that .wad files referenced on the command line which are not in
|
|
DOOMWADDIR (or current directory) or .../lib/doom will have to be
|
|
references with an absolute path, since the way all this is done is by
|
|
building a small symlink farm in /tmp and cd'ing there.
|
|
|
|
#!/bin/bash
|
|
#
|
|
# The Linux version of DOOM! doesn't seem to like it if the .wad files
|
|
# aren't in the current directory when playing. Solve this problem in
|
|
# an extremely klugy fashion.
|
|
#
|
|
# This script makes DOOMWADDIR work as advertised, and also implements
|
|
# an environment variable DOOMSAVEDIR, where your DOOM! saved games appear.

When I boot linux, it says that there are 384 kb in reserved memory. Looking
|
|
at mm/memory.c, it seems clear that this memory is from 0xA0000 to 0x100000,
|
|
presumably reserved since video memory and BIOS's are in that range. However,
|
|
it seems that the actual physical memory in this region is lost.
|
|
|
|
I assume that there is no general way to remap this physical memory so that
|
|
it can be used, but is there a way to turn on selected say 64k chunks of
|
|
this memory that don't conflict with video memory etc?
|
|
|
|
At present, if I go into memory.c and unreserve a bit of this reserved
|
|
region, (say 0xF0000 to 0x100000). The kernel crashes on boot up with
|
|
a general protection error.
|
|
|
|
I am using an OPTI 495SX motherboard with 8 MB of memory. The manual says
|
|
that the motherboard has some ROM->RAM shadow features, but doesn't say
|
|
how to program it.

The Doom Port works GREAT!
|
|
|
|
I recommend: 16 bit Sound card (I use an old PAS-16)
|
|
A recent kernel (you need new sound drivers...)
|
|
Don't use pixel doubling
|
|
Find a 320x240 mode for X (see my posts elsewhere...)
|
|
|
|
THANKS ID, I plan on buying a registered version....
|
|
|
|
BTW, I can have two instances of DOOM running at ONCE!
|

I think I get sound from both mixed together... but I'm not sure...
|
|
|

Wouldn't it be cool if you could play 1 on 1 on a single X server?

The only problem is that the pixel doubling mode (at least in 256 colors)

looks really horrible. However, I'm _extremely_ impressed by the speed of

the thing. Just two real complaints.

1) I wish 8 bit sound sounded decent. He makes a comment that if you

2) I have an annoying problem w/ the shift keys getting stuck down, so

I get in a situation where I'm always strafing or running fast. You get

Almost completely unplayable on a 386/40/8. Runs 'way too slow, and _that_
|

is at 320x200. Video card is an OTI-087, using an experimental accel

Found a couple possible bugs already, too:

|
|
a) When one stupidly cranks up the mouse sensitivity, the action window

becomes half-size until the .doomrc is wiped.
|
|
|
|
b) Pixel-doubling/tripling results in weird endianness problems in the

display. This could be my driver, though.

Well, it _is_ quite playable on my system. I've got a 486/33 with 8MB
|
|
RAM and an Orchid Fahrenheit 1280+ (S3 801, 1MB, ISA), using Linux 1.1.49,
|
|
XFree86 2.0 in 1024x768x256. It hesitates occasionally, but it is generally
|
|
pretty smooth. It is also, of course, quite small at 1024x768. And I
|
|
only have an old 8-bit Soundblaster, so no sound :-(.

Sound driver >= 2.90 beta will do. it is reported 1.0.9 kernel is OK.

Mine is Kernel 1.1.37 + snd driver 2.90 beta on 486DX-33/8MB+trident
|

8900C/1MB (really the slowest non-accelerated card you can get). It
|

is playable at 320x200. I use -grabmouse to enable mouse on my OpenLook

because Alt key doesn't work as expected (close the desktop:-( ).

the environment DOOMWADDIR does not work as said in README.linux. the

I have a feeling that if there'd been an easy way to fix the problem, it
|
|
wouldn't have been there (it even said that pixel-doubling didn't work
|
|
right in the README.linux file). Personally, I think the option should
|
|
have been removed if it couldn't be implemented correctly, but perhaps
|
|
that's just my opinion. Besides, I'd rather see the DOOMWADDIR problem
|
|
fixed before anything else.
|
|
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

My opinions may have changed, but the fact that I am correct has not.

- wish I knew who said that first

I am playing LinuxXDoom under OPENLOOK. I am looking for a way to switch

focus to different application with keyboard because I use -grabmouse

Hah! I'm running it on a Trident 8900! Actually I've always been quite

Did you recompile and install the iBCS module, available from tsx-11.mit.edu?
|
|
|
|
Did you run the wpfix script available from sunsite.unc.edu?
