Ralphis` Posted July 10, 2001 Why the frig hasn't anyone done a software version of zdoomgl yet? Or Randy implemented GL into zdoom itself with a software mode. That way, we could all enjoy what we can't afford. (yet). The only alternative that has a software mode is jdoom which is pretty awesome. But, it doesn't have all of those spiffy zdoom effects. Maybe someone with coding experience could take this into consideration? 0 Share this post Link to post

Zaldron Posted July 11, 2001 I guess that's because md2 format is highly integrated into everything OpenGl. Non GL ports use polished span drawing, and not DirectX, that could bring 3d characters. Of course, if you do a DirectX compatible source port, you can add the same features OpenGl does... 0 Share this post Link to post
