Heretic... Would it be possible? #514

Hi there, Brad!

I know you dropped Heretic support at some point, but after the FANTASTIC 2.8 release, are there any plans to re-add Heretic support? It's a great game, and would be awesome to have it running at solid 60FPS on the Pi3 with this awesome engine! So just interested on what you think about the idea of bringing back Heretic :)

Hm? Has DR been ported to the raspberry pi?

vanfanel commented 5 years ago

@AnotherLife It's easy peasy to build on the Raspberry Pi if you have latest stable SDL2 running on it ;) That's how I use DoomRetro there, and it's just perfect, rock-solid 60FPS with no slowdowns EVER, thanks to @bradharding 's optimizations.

bradharding commented 5 years ago

One day. Maybe. But I'm in no hurry to revisit it at this stage.

@bradharding Heretic support is the only feature I am missing from DoomRetro. Two years enjoying DoomRetro on my Pi at SOLID 60Fps with perfect video sync!

So... May I ask a year later for an Heretic comeback...? :dancer:

bradharding commented 4 years ago

Revisiting Heretic support (then Hexen, then Strife) is still on the list, but at this stage it's still way down on the list I'm afraid. Once I run out of the DOOM-related things I want to achieve with DR, only then will Heretic get some love.

@bradharding Then I guess I will wait and ask in another year or so ;)

In the meantime: what would be the best Heretic and Hexen source ports for Linux ATM?

I'd recommend International Heretic by @JNechaevsky (link in the readme).

Indeed, International Heretic by @JNechaevsky is the way to go with Heretic nowadays :)
