Version 1.2 of Stealth Quake has been released, this is more than likely the final release and is a major upgrade from previous versions which are no longer available; the changelog is below.

Changes:

– Image flashes no longer occur on non-lovecraftian creatures
– Updated findradius(); to searchradius(); in several instances
allowing the WinQuake and Darkplaces version to behave more alike
– Jump button no longer respawns player, only fire as told in death description
– Self-talk only occurs during idle time
– Proper death animation is now played when rock is selected
– Additional sound ques properly cleared on death
– More frags now indicate who died the most, or betrayed the team most (team kills)
– Sneaking speed is less framerate dependant
– Fixed restarting of a level even if a player is still alive
– Players entering a game with 0 lives left are now made observers instead of players
– Rare instance of player allowed to throw rocks / shoot the pistol while in camera mode fixed
– Camera is improved
– Players who are targetted by an enemy can no longer stealth kill that monster,
yet another player still can (thus allowing another player to save a friend)
this also mean you’re not able to perform a running stealth kill (considered a
minor exploit)
– Stealth kill ‘vision’ widened, you must hit their back a bit more accurately now
– Brand new roaming AI, based on some of The Ascension of Vigil code as well as general AI improvements
– More sounds added to help the atmosphere
– Balance tweaks that help prevent speed running, as well as making more logical gameplay sense
– Fixed FOV not being reset when falling out of a Shamblers vision in certain circumstances
– The death music track now plays for observers
– Observers can now restart the round by pressing fire when everyone is dead and out of lives
– Wall tucking properly narrows a monsters vision cone making it even more effective than sneaking
– Fixed a bug where if a monster killed a player, they’d always move towards the player unless
distracted
– Kill command works, doesn’t take away from the lives pool
– Crosshair turns off when walltucking and renables when not
– Upgraded models for the pistol and bullets
– If the player is killed by certain attacks they’re now gibbed
– DP Only: Client side prediction is turned on when not sneaking, helps running away / lag

fackue updated the Dreamcast’s port of GNUBoy and added .ZIP support.

Other release notes:

I didn’t really do much besides add ZIP support, quzar’s been basically helping me along the way and removed a bunch of code that was unnecessary. I have no idea what’s wrong with the menu after loading a few roms – it ends up say “/cd/gb” and then you gotta restart. I also disabled bilinear filtering. I’m not sure what else I could possibly do on my own so I’m gonna go ahead and release it as-is.

Oh yeah, I also merged the pre-alpha release of gnuboy 1.0.4. They say it fixes a couple games.

Oh, I also added a VMU icon to the game saves.

One final thing. The “zip” support in the original release was actually gz support and should work in the original release as well as this one.

Sorry I couldn’t do anything that I really wanted, like the options menu.

Fenix is the codename for a GNU project to create a free compiler for a language derived from the one created by Hammer Technologies for the Game Developement Suite “DIV Games Studio”.

The DIV Games Studio was a complete development environment (for Windows98) which provides an integrated set of graphics and sound manipulation tools plus a dedicated programming language and debugger.

While DIV Games Studio makes light work of games programming, we have to say that we feel that FastTrak is being somewhat economical with the truth in its claim that it “requires no previous knowledge of programming.”

So, Fenix is a simple high-level game creation language, based on DIV. The Fenix compiler generates a bytecode file that is executed, using a runtime, in a “sandbox” similar to Java, and games can be written and run on the Dreamcast in this manner.

Fenix is a toolkit of 4 command line applications:
– FXC: Fenix Compiler. Convert PRG files (source code) to DCB (bytecode).
– FXI: Fenix Interpreter or Runtime. Execute DCB files (bytecode) independent of architecture.
– MAP: Convert GIF or PNG image files to MAP files.
– FPG: Compress or extract a lot of MAP files on a FPG file.

The goal of Fenix Dreamcast port is easy development under Windows or GNU/Linux and execute unique DCB bytecode executable under Windows or GNU/Linux … and Dreamcast or GP32 consoles (only port Interpreter or Runtime).
