@retropi19 I have never seen that engine before. Great find. It looks like it is a fork of ioquake3 with some enhancements low specific hardware such as RPI. :-)

How is the performance compaired to ioquake 3?

[retropi19]

i haven't try with quake 3 or open arena this engine yet,should be faster thought even on rpi0

[ExarKunIv]

@tpo1990 thank you much.

that is just what i was looking for. i did poke around about a year ago and got about the same thing with getting mixed results.

with the few things that you have linked will help i think with me getting a idea on how to play around with this.
when i have questions i might come and pick your brain, but that will be a last resort :)

[tpo1990]

@retropi19 It could be very interesting to find out how the different quake3 engines match out in performance.

As always, there can be room for even further performance optimization. :-)

[tpo1990]

@ExarKunIv I also did it for about a year and tried many things to begin with on the Raspberry Pi.

I hope it helps you out so that you too will be able to get the most out of the Raspberry Pi and of course Linux.

Feel free to ask. I will answer as good as i can. :-)

@tpo1990 i got around 30-35 fps on urban terror without the opengl driver enabled
and by firing with the gun the frame drops to 25-20
i assume with the driver enabled will get the double or more
the only problem is that i dont know how to add bots :P if you can find that for me
can get the smokin guns to get past the loading screen it stucks there maybe it needs the opengl driver will bo more tests later

@tpo1990 Have you managed to compile ECWolf in RPi without any issues? If true, then which version: the latest stable one, or the development builds?

Anyway, if your tests were done in the latest stable version, I'd like to suggest you to compile any of the development builds too. The reason for that request is simple: better mods support. Recently, there's a lot of Wolfenstein 3D mods with advanced features, such as new weapons, additional monsters, graphic / texture improvements, etc. All those features doesn't work in vanilla Wolf3D, neither in the latest stable version of ECWolf. They work only in the latest development versions of ECWolf, such as the ones listed here.

A interesting example of Wolf3D mod that works only in ECWolf latest dev version is Wolfenstein 3D - Claw of Eisenfaust (SNES-to-ECWolf Port).

[tpo1990]

@Solid-One I think it was ECWolf latest stable version that i successfully managed to compile. I have not tried the development builds yet. If it supports mods, then it could be interesting to see how well Wolfenstein 3d mods run on our RPI.

Let me try and see if i can get the development builds to compile and get working.

[ExarKunIv]

that would be cool to run wolf mods.....did not know that anyone made ones for wolf. lol.
im so out of the loop

[tpo1990]

@ExarKunIv They actually exists. I have seen wolf mods in action on a Windows PC. It's just working in a different way than Doom mods.

Just look at Splitwolf, which is some kind of a mod of Wolf4SDL to support split-screen gameplay.

It works great. I think it should be possible to run wolf mods on a Raspberry Pi.

Hey,
I really love POSTAL 1

Any chance to get it work ?

[tpo1990]

@shavecat There seems to be a source port here: https://bitbucket.org/gopostal/postal-1-open-source/src/default/

It looks like it can be built for Pandora and Odroid with SDL2, when you look inside the makefile. This might give us a chance at compiling/buliding for RPI.
https://bitbucket.org/gopostal/postal-1-open-source/src/default/makefile

I haven't tried it yet.

[shavecat]

@tpo1990
I will love if it will work .
so just copy the files ?
to the ports ?
https://bitbucket.org/gopostal/postal-1-open-source/src/default/
and make a sh file from that ?
https://bitbucket.org/gopostal/postal-1-open-source/src/default/makefile
suppose to work?
or how do i check it out

[shavecat]

@tpo1990
PLZ make it work <3 :)))

[tpo1990]

@shavecat No it needs more to get it working. You would need to know how to compile and build from the source files into a working binary that you can use to run the game from.

I might try it soon but right now i'm in the middle of getting ECWolf to work so that we can run Wolfenstein 3D with mods.

thanks i will wait :))

Alright so i managed to get ECWolf development version to build and it runs great on my testing image. I have now built a scriptmodule and released it to the RetroPie community. It is noted that it has been created only for testing purpose and therefore it is not a final release like my other scriptmodules.

Link: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/22788/ecwolf-wolfenstein-3d-source-port-for-mods

Good news is that I have already tried running ECWolf with a mod and it runs perfect. No issues experienced so far.

@Efriim About Flare. I think i saw somewhere that this french guy managed to get it to work on a Raspberry Pi 3b. It was on this website: http://framboisepi.fr/

Edit: Ah yes. Here it is: http://framboisepi.fr/?s=flare It is in french languagem but with a little google translate magic. No problem :-)
