Curt Vendel Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 A good friend asked if I could post some ST game sources... I though everyone would enjoy this one in particular. Curt st_starraiders_src.zip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ggn Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I won't even ask when you got them, but thanks Taking a look at the sources, it should have taken a hell of a lot of time to assemble. It seems as68 doesn't know what incbin is, so most of the source are data files converted to dc.b statements! (I guess the linker should handle that, but I'm not sure) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorf Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 This being 68k could port the the JAg with a bit of work....but then again, we already have BS. Someone could take this game and make a networked JAg version. It may not be BattleSphere but it IS Star Raiders! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone could take this game and make a networked JAg version. It may not be BattleSphere but it IS Star Raiders! Networked Star Raiders. Interesting. Good thing about that is in this game there is a view of another Star Ship. So that's helpful. (show in the ending screen) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorf Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 It wont exactly be a cake walk and only one team knows the bug free way to do networking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggn Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 It wont exactly be a cake walk and only one team knows the bug free way todo networking. So noone else can find that? Or have they pattened it too? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or have they pattened it too? The trouble with the Scatologic code is the game really needs to be designed around it and not the other way around. You do know that the networking code in BS is setup in such a way as to actually make the Jag's hooked up in net mode work more efficiently, right? I highly doubt ST SR has code even remotely close to what would be needed to use it in SR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunstar Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 (edited) Did Jag Aircars use Scatologic's code? I've never played it networked, but I've also never heard of Aircars having network problems like Doom... getting back more to topic...I've never played ST Star Raiders, I guess I should check it out. Is it more like 8-bit SR or SR2/LSF? I ask becuase I recall 8-bit SR2 and ST SR coming out about the same time. yeah, I can find out for myself, but I have to buy the game first! Is it bitmapped/sprite graphics or is it vector/polygonal? Heck, I JUST got StarGlider 2 for the ST!

Just because it used the code, does not mean it used it efficiently. In my opinion? Nothing is like 8 bit Star Raiders....nothing. BattleSphere's version is a new territory based on it but it's a new deal(awsome beyond awsome). The ST version is nice and even 'cute' in some spots but it's too nice. There is just something to that old 8 bit charm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is just something to that old 8 bit charm. That's why I never bothered to get&play other versions (well that and becuase I didn't even own my first ST until 2001), even if the graphics were better, I could never believe any other version played better than the 8-bit/5200. Actually, I did used to own&play the 2600 version, before I got my first 8-bit, and it was really good for the 2600, but it doesn't compare to the original either. As I recall, it was missing a lot from the original too. Still, if I can find a cheap copy of the ST version I'll try it. But my favorite ST space game is EPIC (I just wish it would work on my 16Mhz Mega STE to improve the frame rate, like many other ST polygon games do). I haven't had time to play Starglider 2 yet, I'm crossing my fingers that it will work in 16Mhz mode for fast&smooth play...

Christos Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 You should also try zero 5 on your STE. You'll like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunstar Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 (edited) You should also try zero 5 on your STE. You'll like it I love it. I have had a Mega STE with Zero 5 for a while, it kicks butt at 16Mhz! I am looking forward to trying it on my 1040STE, so I can use my Jaguar controller on the advanced controller ports, but I may end up prefering the faster frame rate at 16Mhz, so I may continue putting up with the mouse&keyboard instead of a slower 8Mhz speed with the Jag controller...I'll let you know. Eventually, I'll get the Falcon and have the best of both worlds and more! Edited February 12, 2008 by Gunstar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
