Posted by daveb on July 24, 2002:
weren't some people going to do something for FS3? because we've just released the FS2 engine and they might want to use it..
what? there's nobody left? did the CS guru do it? thought so.
oh well...

just a thought, not a sermon.

it should be noted that i do occasionally browse these forums


as for the cross platform - i just dedicated 4 GB to windows [hehe.. i've been playing red faction again ]

i've been working on a renderer for POFs [trying to perform accelerated rendering].. right now im trying to figure out where i have a bug in it.. i bet you $10 it's a stupid bug to, find it and say "DOH!"


Im using the following things to make cross-platform very easy

OpenGL
OpenIL [Open Image Library]
OpenAL [Open Audio Library] (well, when we get to that point)
SDL [Simply Directmedia Layer] (OpenGL initializaiton, event processing, joystick processing)

I think im goig to drop OpenIL if i can find the code needed to load the FreeSpace 2 PCXs... i don't remember - are they all 8-bit PCXs? or are there some 24 bitters in there?

OpenIL causes crashing - it's the reason why the version of PCS with the renderer randomly crashes with some textures..

Usually is the small simple thing that causes the massive glitch in code. A pof renderer sounds good.

I think they are all 8bit.
