I was actually coming to the forums ot make the same request o_O
This must be done! Quake + Quake 2 are ported.
Why not slip in one of the best multiplayer games of all time?

I'm trying to get the content of the game, it's probably in the "very-cheap"-department in game-stores here but I haven't got a chance to search for it yet. Once I have it I'll take a look at porting it. No guarantees tho

Have the original version of the game (not the Gold Edition), but I may have lost one of the discs. I can look into it, if you want. I'd like to see a port of this, too...

This game rocks!! Really want to see a port. Hope this goes through.

A port of this would kick unimaginable amounts of ass, if you get my drift. It means I would really like to see it ported on the Xbox.

AvP is what I could consider a First Person Shooter version of Starcraft lol
For those of you who are not familiar with the game. You got the buggies, the techies, and the humans.

I think it would be great multiplayer, imagine it

Are there bots in the multiplayer part of this game?
kdanarch
Sep 12 2004, 07:10 AM
There were ways of doing it on the PC with a trainer... multiplayer bots that is.
I'm sure that if anyone ports this they can go ahead and implement it since it must be there if it can be unlocked with a simple trainer.

Imagine playing AvP through XLink on your xbox !
EverythingButAnAnswer
Sep 13 2004, 08:00 AM
Yes there are bots in the skirmish mode. I remember the fun I had playing on mplayer as a marine and catching people on fire with the flame thrower in coop mode. I'm not sure if multiplayer will work, because it hasn't even been added to the linux build (which hasn't been updated in a while, and is still only CVS). You can check out the status of the linux build here
http://www.icculus.org/avp/ . I really hope someone considers porting this awesome game, I know myself and many others would really appreciate it.
EDIT: I would also like to express my thanks for everyone who has shown enthusiasm in the idea of porting this to xbox, hopefully some developers will look at this thread and consider porting it. Thank you all.

i tried to get this game working on my computer last year, but you know what bloody XP is like when it comes to old games. i could only play a bit of the first level, but from what i played, it looked great. i look forward to seeing an xbox port in the near future.

If someone is really going to port the gold edition of avp I would be glad to send them an image of this game!! The only problem is I don't know where it is but I will try my best in finding the game however I do have part 2 and the add on for part 2 as well and can send those!!

Do you have the source code on a retail cd???? Had no idea they produced such cd's.

Kashtmoney: I was, more or less, joking. Do you really believe you can get the sourcecode from a retail cd??? You can't. I have never heard any game company providing the sourcecode on a cd. It could happen, but VERY doubtfully so. Stop searching for the cd, the sourcecode isn't on it anyway.
As I've understood it the sourcecode is on some server. I haven't checked it out myself though.

Now that blueshogun96 is taking over for me, I'll get to it when I get a chance. My programming skills: I've been programming in C/C++ for about 2 years now. So far I've in the Intermediate level of DirectX8. I think I can do it. Like all ports, it will take time. I'll try not to let you down.

1. I'm on it!
2. Maybe if I get a chance. I still have my programming books to read. It takes time to become lantus junior.
3. Man that is some really bulky src. It's a good thing there is a AvP bible, or else I'd be going in circles

But in a way, it looks like it will be easier than I thought.
4. I'm having problems getting the game to run first of all. Everytime I try to play it I get this error msg about sending a error report to MS. It's really getting annoying. I can't figure out what I did wrong. I followed the instructions on the bible, and I'm still having problems.
blueshogun96
Sep 24 2004, 05:47 PM
I think jdoom will be one of the "easier ports". AvP is such a LARGE game, it will take some serious time and effort.
Brouhaha
Sep 24 2004, 06:41 PM
Not only is it large, but there are also a few technical challenges in there that are gonna be time consumming and need planning and pretty deep understanding of the code if you want a decent port (bink videos, audio support, removing directdraw usage, etc). It's definitly not easy, and certainly not a short term project...
blueshogun96
Sep 25 2004, 01:57 AM
I'm sure DirectDraw7 can be converted into DirectDraw8 ok (and no, DirectDraw is NOT dead). I wonder if lantus is willing to try...
btw: Brouhaha, you are so right. I thought it would be easier than it already is. But in any case, porting a game (especially one you did not make) is no easy task.

Actually, that is the last thing we should work on. Getting the game working is more important.
