Doom3 for AmigaOS4 Beta1 released

Published 11.03.2023 - 12:44 by AndreasM

A few months ago, Hugees "HunoPPC" Nouvel prepared the first beta compilation of "Doom 3" , which everyone could test. However, he did not decide on a full public release at that time, because his goal was to optimize the game engine to a level allowing for 30 frames per second on AmigaOne X5000 computers with a resolution of 1920x1080 and Ultra graphics settings. This result not only allows for a relatively comfortable gameplay, but also allows you to beat the results of other systems operating on PPC, such as Linux (27 fps) and MacOS(29.5fps 1600x1200 for MAC G5 2.5GHz PCIe). The set goal has been achieved, so from now on anyone willing can download the Amiga port based on the Dhewm 3 project without any restrictions .

Other features of the public release include:

* using jpeg-turbo.library with Altivec support for AmigaOne X1000,
* using the new zlib 1.2.13 from October 13, 2022,
* faster loading of data from a .pk4 file,
* optional ability to use a special hack for lighting and shadows to get an additional 3 fps,
* ARB rendering mode (display graphics without effects) for weaker configurations. On more powerful ones (X5000 plus Radeon RX560), it allows you to achieve a result in timedemo - 47 fps,
* ARB2 rendering mode, which is a native mode for "Doom 3" with all effects and 20fps graphics refresh rate for X5000 computers,
* GLSL rendering mode - a proprietary mode that is the result of optimization work carried out by Huno with all effects, allowing you to get a result of 30 fps in the timedemo.
