There ya go folks:

Hopefully someone can take it farther.

WOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
This is a great news!
HUGE Thanks for sharing this great engine.
In hopes that it will become as well known as possible!

Go, Kot-In-Action, Go!!

Nice, same as this: https://youtu.be/YiLkKJveY6E right?

Can it still be made to run the Doom3 BFG assets and game (under Linux)?

[motorsep]

Yeah, it was suppose to power Phaeton (aka Steel Storm 2).

No, it won't work with Doom 3 BFG because we changed shaders and texture compression stuff. However, it can be made where you keep core stuff from BFG (menus, fonts, etc.) but get all assets from original Doom 3. The engine would binarize all of the original Doom 3 assets and then you should be able to run it. I didn't look close into it, but it's possible to make it run Doom 3 that way.

However, the purpose of the engine is for indie devs who is into FOSS engines/development to use it as a solid foundation for their games. It's a much more stable and performant than RBDoom 3 BFG, so it's suitable for commercial game dev.

No, it's just as if you make Doom 3 mod. You can run the engine in debug mode, see what crashes it (for sure it needs player's model, player's def, player's material and skin, at least one weapon def and script) and add those missing things.

I don't provide any support, sorry. If I could figure out how to take original BFG and what basic set of assets should be present in order to load a basic map with player on it, anyone else can As long as there is a desire to make it happen

The most difficult things like fonts, SWF menus, etc. are already there. So you don't really need to worry about all that.

Also, Doom 3 has all assets in ascii format, so it's really easy to reverse engineer.

thx motorsep!

Thanks for publishing the code. I will merge back some fixes and probably the MFC tools work into RBDOOM-3-BFG.

Yeah many of the changes are very useful. It would also be nice if you could add the renderprogs/*.pixel and *.vertex shaders.
You only uploaded translated GLSL output however that output varies with my renderer depending on which OpenGL version is targeted.
The source shaders would help the migration process a lot.

[motorsep]

Done, committed.

Also added advanced ASE exporter and MD5 Camera exporter for Blender

[Tr3B]

Cool thanks. I really need to get more time to work RBDOOM again.

@Tr3B: So what do you think so far (if you already began digging the code) ?
