Hi, I'm sure there are many others out there that would enjoy a port of this wonderful game as well. There is already a linux port, but it still remains incomplete (missing multiplayer, some gfx, etc). If there is anway to do a near complete xbox port I would really appreciate it .

Here are the full sources (choose a link, save target):

And some pictures.




Thank you in advance .

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?

Good to see someone else is interested.

yeh, i want it too, dammit port it!

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

Imagine wall-crawling on the xbox.

YES !

Please port this killer-app to xbox !!!

It would be freakin' great !!!

Someone ? please?

fghjj: What are your experience in programming? c/c++, Delphi?

Just wanted to know, personally I don't know squat.

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've never played the game myself but it looks kick ass!

I was just coming over to the forums to ask for this exact thing

I think it would be great multiplayer, imagine it

Are there bots in the multiplayer part of this game?

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.

this may be hard cos its a big game.

so was quake 2. Would sourceforge support xbox projects on the clean side of the law?

Imagine playing AvP through XLink on your xbox !

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!!

im putting down my vote for this!

yes someone please port this

HOLY!

Void: Can't you port the game now that you left xmule? You'd make everyone happy. What are your programing skills?

I got no skills in porting pc game but I would be glad to give the game away to someone whos going to make others happy...

WOW! id be amazed if this could be done.

I will love anyone who ports this...

Right now im busting my butt to looking for the game i know i have it but dont know where I placed it but as of right now I need to know if someone is willing to do it I will send them the game any questions email me at bkasht@yahoo.com

You know what im going to see if anyone has an image of the game!!

how would that help?

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.

Hey im just trying to help. I dont know much about porting games so give me a break...

This will be so awesome if you get it to work well with LAN. This is one of my favorite games and franchises!

great void now we can have some more games ported one more thing if you want or can try to port freecraft or jdoom

I think jdoom will be one of the "easier ports". AvP is such a LARGE game, it will take some serious time and effort.

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...

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.

i no stuff about the avvp2 engfine but nothing about the original there basicly the same engine anyways so i might be able to help

did lantus make any comments on this game ?
I wish he would port it

everybody would be very happy...
Imagine playing co-op with voicecomm support *sigh*

yeh, i have many fond memories of lan parties with this game.

pred disc pwns. meh. we had to outlaw it. lol

but yeah, this game would truly pwn on the xbox.

This would be a wonderful port

so is a port in progress?
