New to the forum

Hey there everybody, incase you haven't noticed I am new to this forum.

I would like to start of by saying well done to the team on such a great mod, it is everything that a 3D Sonic game should be like and its a shame that it still hasn't been finished after all this time...

Secondly I just wanted to ask if anybody has thought about adding 3D models to the game at all, maybe in the final version or something, and perhaps using something like the Doomsday engine. I think if that actually happened it would be just perfect.

Thanks ;-P

The Doom Legacy engine is capable of supporting models, but only in OpenGL mode. Not everyone in this community can run in OpenGL mode. I sure can't.

Also, there's an introduction topic.

And besides, I think OpenGL looks ugly.

Shuffle has been able to do 3D models in his Legend of Zelda mod.
But the download link is probably outdated. And more importantly, I doubt that it would work anymore.

Actually Flame, the last public release of that mod was made in the time of 1.09.2, before SRB2 had model support, before it was named TML, before he had implimented the bow, hell before he even had thrown in those navi sprites.

So yeah, even if the download link did work, you wouldn't get models out of it.

Shhhh, Don't say that, they'll never finish. =P
Either way, It's only been what, nine years, not that long if you about it.
They'll get it done. Remember, SSNTails still needs to finish Knux.
;)

I think that an OpenGL release would be great for those that could run it, take a look at Jdoom etc, it looks great...

 

[Shuffle]

SRB2 already has OpenGL, just use -opengl in the launcher.

...Uh, wouldn't be much easier simply to press the OpenGL button in the launcher?

 

[Shuffle]

Uh, I guess. If you're a pansy.

 

[Rob]

Batches > Launcher. Simple as that.

 

[Pappa_Chimp]

NO, No, I meant and OpenGL release with a models option for those who's computers were able to run it.

The good thing about the Doom engine is that you can add stuff to it. (hint hint)

You could probably rip models from Sonic R or Sonic 3D Blast for the Saturn. They'd go well in SRB2. The only problem is if you add a model then everyone turns into it no matter what. At least at the moment anyway.

I can run it with OpenGL, but I do receive warnings that my computer may crash. So that's why I keep using Software Mode until SRB2 is capable of fully supporting OpenGL.

I can run it with OpenGL, but I do receive warnings that my computer may crash.

So does everyone else that uses OpenGL, it's a built in warning, you could have the world's most powerful pc and it would still say that.

 

[Knuckles the Echidna]

Yeah, I know. I once saw the same in a Video where someone else had that warning. SRB2 isn't fully compatible with OpenGL yet, I suppose.

 

[Blitzzo]

...What? SRB2's OpenGL mode runs fine, except for a few inaccuracies, such as lighting and colormaps. Personally, I just call it "laziness", and I don't see why the programmers can't fix it. Then again, I probably shouldn't be saying that, because I'm not really better off than they are.

 

[Rob]

You missed his point about SSN's (bogus) message stating SRB2's OpenGL support is nonexistent. It really shouldn't be there, as there haven't been very many reports of OpenGL causing computer crashes. All this does is provide people with fear of OpenGL, which they shouldn't, because 99 times out of 100, it works better than software does.

 

[Sykotic]

Plus, you can screw around with your 3D Card Settings in OpenGL to make the game Pixelly, Smooth, really Pixelly, or Ultra Smooth.

I like Ultra Smooth :)

You know... Speaking of TML... I just so happen to have a Debug EXE that works with the current Srb2 version.
