int sscanf(const char *str, const char *fmt,...)
{
va_list ap;
int *pval;

if (strcmp(fmt,"%x")) {
exit(-1);
}

va_start(ap, fmt);
pval = va_arg(ap,int*);
va_end(ap);

*pval = strtol(str,0,16);
return 1;
}

Bero, fantastic port. I remember this game well from my old days of PC gaming on the 486 / pentium and to play it on the DC is great.

Great stuff mate

Very nice so far. HOWEVER, you must not abandon this project!

It still needs:

-Full screen

-640*480 resolution

-Slightly higher framerate

-The ability to play over a network using the DC ethernet adaptor

-The L and R triggers should make you strafe left and right, respectively. The button you used to hold down for strafing you would now hold down for looking up/down/around.

Please PLEASE do this! Do it so I can die a happy man!

Bero - Does it work with the full version, or does it only work on the shareware version? When I looked at the source code, it required you to change some #defines to get the full version working. And the Windows version only works on the shareware version, so I assume the full game does too?

It would be great if Bero could help people here to get his DCQuake 2 to compile.

reaper2k2 · Post by **reaper2k2** » Fri Feb 14, 2003 12:44 am

well i would make the changes and compile it for you lot but then the keys dont work

higher frame rate URMMM why its full framerate now

Amazing, something new has came out for the Dreamcast, time to dust it back off again.

Turning is pretty choppy. Try it.

And the other suggestions of mine would greatly, GREATLY ehance enjoyment of the game, especially using the L and R triggers for strafing. And please, please make it fullscreen!

Yeah, it still happens from time to time. There aren't many emulators or open-source games left to port, so we're basically doing unreleased tools, and homebrew games now.

>Bero - Does it work with the full version

binary release works only shareware version.
to run full version, need recompile.
but I don't have full version. so I don't checked.

I will add auto determin routine in single binary such as Hexen II.

does anyone know CD-ROM directory structure?
