Re: misaligned texture in exhumed/powerslave
This part is Not A Bug - these are deliberately not supported due to the circumstances being unclear regarding the legality of those games' source code releases.CBM wrote:the following build engine games are currently not recognized:

(Also, Corridor 7 is not Build.)

Re: misaligned texture in exhumed/powerslave
Misaligned textures are a common occurence in these old games. Remember: The Polymost code is virtually unchanged from its parent ports so unless the alignment issue is Raze exclusive I'll write this off as a mapping bug.

Re: misaligned texture in exhumed/powerslave
Actually, the real reason why they are not supported is that unlike the other games there's no source in a usable state for them - they all require quite a bit of work to get running.wildweasel wrote:This part is Not A Bug - these are deliberately not supported due to the circumstances being unclear regarding the legality of those games' source code releases.CBM wrote:the following build engine games are currently not recognized:

IMO the legality of their sources is no better or worse than the reverse engineered efforts for RR, Blood and Exhumed.

Re: misaligned texture in exhumed/powerslave
That one Crapstone game whose developer leaked the entire code may be a more curious situation.
Regardless, this is a map bug, it's the same in other ports.

Re: misaligned texture in exhumed/powerslave
ok thanks for the feedback
it does spew some sound effect errors in the console at level 2 it seems
otherwise its exactly as I remember it ...only better
and pretty cool it can have shareware version and full version of the games coexist
