Deathmatcher Posted July 30, 2004 I want to run Wolfenstein3D under WindowsXP. It actually runs already but no music plays and sound doesn´t play in the menus. Is there a good port I could use? (something like ZWolfenstein) Or any other methods? -Playing around with the compatibility modes and memory didn´t help (as always) -Dosbox is too slow. (Maybe this can be boosted?) -NewWolf looks ugly and isn´t final yet. 0 Share this post Link to post
Bashe Posted July 30, 2004 Well, if you don't like NewWolf, then too bad. That's really the only normal port for Wolf3d. 0 Share this post Link to post

I can play Wolf3d fine: - Open dosbox.conf and change "output=surface" to "output=overlay" if you haven't already. This will use the videocard's hardware buffers more for increased performance. - Boost the CPU cycles to 6000. You can do this by CTRL-F12 (and watching the cycles increase in the title bar of course) or you can do the same in dosbox.conf. - Enjoy! Oh by the way, Wolf3d mods with hacked up engines with shading, floor/ceiling textures and all that don't work as far as I know. Oh by the way Bashe, NewWolf isn't quite fully playable. 0 Share this post Link to post
Bashe Posted July 30, 2004 Yeah, I just use NewWolf for fun. I know it doesn't run SOD correctly (Spear of Destiny is counted as only a key, etc.). 0 Share this post Link to post
Darkhaven Posted July 30, 2004 Bashe said:That's really the only normal port for Wolf3d. Well, in one way you're right. But mods like Punisher use a totally new EXE, but it's specific to that mod. I'm sure there's more than NewWolf. And by the way, it runs Spear perfectly fine. What do you mean, only a key? As in, 1. Me picks up Spear 2. NewWolf returns "You got the gold key." Or do you mean something else? 0 Share this post Link to post
Bashe Posted July 30, 2004 I meant within the game of SoD, when you pick up the spear it says you got a gold key and it doesn't go to level 21 like it should. Also, the secret exit for episode one of Wolf3d still takes you to level 2 and not 10. 0 Share this post Link to post
Mogul Posted July 30, 2004 There's another port out there that's fairly mainstream, but I don't think it's nearly up to par with how NewWolf has developed. If NW has stopped, perhaps someone should email the author and find out what's up. 0 Share this post Link to post
