PSX PC Mod - Help needed.

Post by NEXUS »

Hello, this may seem like a crazy project, I really liked the PSX version of Warzone, moreso the demo version that came with Gex 3. The final game was so different from the on on the demo, so I decided to try to do this. I am currently trying to do a heavy conversion of the PC game, to look and feel like the PSX version, currently using the version of the game that was found in the original source code release, I need to know how to re-build the source code. I do not need help with Campaign Scripting, Creating New Maps, because I am very good at doing those, I have the grafix from the game CD, so I don't need help with these. also I need to know if this project is realistic enough to continue, or do I need to drop this project. so if anybody could please help me, I would appreciate it. Thanks. :)

Um, for the rest of the people that wish to know, all you need is MSVC express edition (free), then it should convert the VC6 project file for you.
Then you just need the directX sdk, and the platform sdk installed, and that will get most of it to compile OK.

There is one or two functions that need a slight rewrite if I recall, but other than that, it is pretty easy to get it to compile OK.

If you have issue, you can post here, and I can dig up what I did to compile it if needed.
and it ends here.

Someone should put how to compile the original source in the wiki. It is something that comes up every now and then, and would probably be useful to a few people.
