Alwarren of Death and Arena of Death are stock maps.

Yeah, I did load Auropolis on the dedicated server and it worked. I launched 6 new instances of Drakan.exe and joined the game from them. But, it's possible that it crashes when certain levels were loaded before it. I had couple of those crashes back when I tested the levels, Auropolis might have be...

Drakan is meant to look something like this at 1920x1080. That's how things were sized approximately in the old days when 640x480 was the standard. This screenshot was scaled from base resolution 640x360. With UHD resolution (3840x2160), this is how the main menu looks without any scaling. And the s...

But I presume that including it anyway wouldn't actually break anything, though? No, it wouldn't. But if there's something else running besides Drakan that needs D3DCompiler_47.dll, there'd be 2 separate copies of the DLL loaded in memory. :D In any case, that's the default behavior regarding the Q...

That doesn't apply for currently totally broken maps (crash/hang on load); there's no point in keeping those around at all, unless they can be fixed. (we found at least 2 or 3 of those already, Auropolis being one of them) Weird. Does Auropolis crash/hang only when there are more players on the ser...

All is well now! The engine actually creates 2 windows, one for each monitor, with the primary one in exclusive mode. Which looks kinda weird if you don't have 2 identical monitors, but I guess that can be tackled later when settings are added. Also, I admire your patience to compile the engine on W...

Some nitpicking: You can set minimum OS version for dgVoodoo to Vista, with Service Pack 2. Vista fans know that they also need platform update. Are you also including d3dcompiler_47.dll with dgVoodoo? Should be included for Windows 8.0 down to Vista. It's part of the OS since Windows 8.1, so it can...

Back with a smallish update , maybe the final one (word "final" is in there for a reason :wink:): Added option to enable DSBCAPS_GLOBALFOCUS flag for DirectSound buffers. Copy Drakan.cfg from install folder to user's personal Drakan folder if (s)he doesn't have config file already. Prevent...

UCyborg, do you know if there's a command line parameter that can be passed to Drakan.exe to bring up Riot Engine Options with the "Developer" tab visible? AFAIK, there isn't anything more beyond what's documented in the ReadMe. "Raging A..holes" Default team name. Haven't check...

Drakan has been runnable on Linux through WINE for quite a while now with some manual tweaking required by the user for correct, but slowish results. Not anymore! Recent development of the DXVK project now allow Drakan to run at much better speed when chained together with dgVoodoo2 . This requires ...

If anyone encounters this problem, IndirectSound is worth a shot. Or any software solution that comes with certain sound cards and claims to be able to restore 3D sound/EAX in older games. IndirectSound is the only thing available freely AFAIK and doesn't implement EAX (it's on TODO list). In most c...

Ugly hack for the editor that may get rid of the window overdraw problem or break the 2D view. Editor has another interesting bug where large textures aren't displayed properly in the Databases window. It happens to display properly on Windows 7 and earlier WITHOUT desktop composition, EXCEPT on Wi...

I compiled Windows build of opendrakan and got some really funky results. The engine crashed in Engine.cpp, line 56: mViewer->getCamera()->getGraphicsContext()->getState()->setUseModelViewAndProjectionUniforms(true); I had to disable my secondary monitor to get past that line (OSG bug?). Then the le...

I remember that being a symptom back in the day where the editor would memory leak to crash and one symptom was the window "drawing" effect. There might still be small memory leaks present, but it would take a really long time for them to pile up, at least if you're not dealing with big t...

Do you think it would be possible to make changes to game modes or classes available in the game for level editing? No. There is a memory leak in the level editor. Any chance you could take a stab at that? windows will start to "draw" on top of each other. Don't think that's a memory leak...
