doom gles feature

[Redneckerz]

It stands for Doom GLES tech demo. Its a demonstration of the engine.

Then is it a demo or the full engine? xD
It should run with gles 2.0 but it doesn't. If doubt @emile_b is interested in adding the features. Y wenas.

If it says tech demo, i have to assume its not the full engine. The full engine i know of was for PocketPC.

I dunno but here's an interview from 2012 with the man himself and there's an email address xD.

AFAIK the GLES stuff under Android is done with GLES 2.0, and the older stuff, relying on PowerVR tech, uses the tile-based approach. The Goforce version used a pixel shader, however.

FWiW, the water effect in the video is from a very old version of Doom Legacy. It was a feature of the early versions of Legacy from waaay back. The file for the map in the video has a date of 30th July 1998 in the zip file that I have. I don't know if that is an accurate reflection of the feature date or not. I can run the map with Legacy 1.28, which I think is the oldest copy of Legacy that I have (1999?). IIRC, the effect was removed from Legacy at some point.

I don't know how close in appearance the Doom gles effect was to the Legacy one.

AFAIK DoomGLES is based off DoomGL by the same author and not Legacy. I know Legacy did have a water effect, but was it reflective and shaded?

It's the effect that you can see in my video (the one that Caligari posted on page 1). It's almost transparent, but has a slight warping/refracting effect that makes things below the water surface look distorted and wavey.

Hi, the reason you're getting a black screen is because you need to download data to play. If you want to try playing, I recommend downloading the app and the data here: https://iddqd.ru/porta?find=DoomGLES
I tried looking for a more reliable site or one with the latest working version of d-gles, but I couldn't find one that worked for me. And then there's the fact that this site is the only one I found that lets me download the data.

Thanks, most download links are from kokak.free.fr but the only file there is the Doom GLES v1.09.3 apk. I didn't download the data since koka's page said it was optional since 1.3 and i downloaded 1.4. Y wenas.
