Reviews Of The Millennium

I wonder if he's going to implement GL node support. Zennode is a pretty nice compiler.

I couldn't find an email link on the Zennode website to ask tho... :

Well. It's the best supporting builder for GL legacy. I dunno about GL friendly nodes though.

That everytime there has been a new release Marc R. claims like a 200% increase in performance. I mean, how many times can you two-fold performance? Ver .98 runs very quick on my comp but the fact that future versions don't work in DOS bar me from using it since I use DCK.

Zennode is very slow on my comp. BSP is much faster.

Yep, I'm pushing the limits on level size again (one level over 30000x25000 in size at this point).

glBSP can't build a blockmap for it - it clips it.

ZenNode can't build a reject map for it - it GPFs.

Hopefully ZenNode adds GL-friendly nodes support.


Oh, and the large-percentage-increases in performance always end up in different areas each time, though reject maps can take a fair amount of improvement. (But he should be saying "can take up to 75% less time" rather than "300% improvement".)

At a glance, it looks like a port to DJGPP would be trivial except for the console stuff; you'd either need a termios library that worked under DJGPP, or to adapt another function set (console.cpp has three sets of the same named functions, for the three target platforms - OS/2, Win32 and Linux) for DJGPP. I'd do it right now except I don't have DJGPP anymore and I'm not willing to suck it over my modem link to do a port I'd never use... I might be tempted to do it at work though :)
