No, of course. All the vertices are rotated just once. Did I make another mistake? I did the calculations quite quickly...

Yes, sorry, my fault when writting them down.

Well as soon as its released you can count on me to run it on real Atmos hardware for a few days at least .. I'm going to kick the wife and kid out of the house, load up on beer and pizza, and spend a weekend playing Elite - FINALLY - on the Oric .. ;) (I used to loathe the fact there was no Elite ...

Ok, have been playing with Dbug's wonderful profiler (thanks dude) and my shipdemo program. Although it is not using the latest version of the line routine (should update it someday, I just forgot, this one is marked as 473 in the benchmark) and the double-buffered area is bigger (so slower update) ...

The problem is, if you release something too early for testing, your testers will become tired by the initial amount of bugs. And then they might loose interest in finding the nasty hidden bugs of the more final releases. Indeed that is the thing. I would like to have a 99% done version without mis...

Believe me I am doing all my best to have a playable alpha version as soon as possible. For instance I have an alpha version of the manual, even with outdated screenshots, so it could be ready for testers. But I still have bugs there... for instance I fixed today I bug I entered a couple of weeks ag...

Greetings. You know I am doing a huge effort in optimizing (to be frank thrust26 and Dbug are the ones doing most of this work) and sorting the most evident bugs. So although I have not posted any progress lately, in fact there is progress. For example today I implemented a new feature.... but I am ...

Great Dbug! Thanks... at last a new version... However, you will go "argh" for sure, as I have problems when compiling the shipdemo program. It seems to have problems with the files in the oobj3d folder. It says "assembling oobj3d/whatever.S" but the systems gives an error of not...

Updated to the latest version as of feb,14th ;451 refactored to make x-direction always positive (37.07)) and found some issues... Vertical lines (maybe nearly vertical?) are sometimes drawn wrong... as if one of the extremes was wrong. Not sure what changed in the clipping code, but when used in 13...

This is GREAT!... the feature that was missing yet...

Well I have some others in mind, but anyway

Cheers

Just an FYI, I let it run on one of the more complex ships for several hours and when I came back there were lines going all over the place. Not sure exactly what happened but it appears as if some of the ship data got corrupted. Yes I am aware of that. It is a side effect of roundoff errors in the...

I had no chance to try it (yet), but I already have one question: Do you first erase all lines and redraw them all, or do you erase and redraw line-by-line? Alternatively it erases all/draw all or draw all/erase all... I know maybe a better effect can be achieved by drawing/erasing line by line, bu...

Sure... which address?

Greetings. As several people asked me to test removing the double buffer, I have made a simple demo with the program I use to watch models. This is a quick hack, and possibly (surely) could be optimized. What I am doing is saving all the clipped start/endpoints of each line drawn in a frame, then sw...

Really nice and impressive work, Xeron... congratulations! Just tried it and it runs nicely both space:1999 and 1337. However there is a notable difference in the sounds and music in 1337 between this and euphoric. Not sure which is being more accurate (compared to the real machine that is), but it ...
