(News Submission by Deniska)

Long overdue, but finally here! :-)
It took me a bit longer that I planned: I lost the previous version's source code due to computer crash and had to re-do it from scratch, but I think it's worth it ;-)... anyway:

Rise Of The Triad PSP v0.9

This is a PSP adoptation of Rise Of The Triad, 1st person shooter, originally developed by 3drealms/Apogee.
(http://www.3drealms.com/rott/)
Special thanks to people @ http://icculus.org/rott/, who developed the SDL/linux version of the game.
Please read the attached documents for credits and other information.

If you are unfamiliar with the game please read this great article:
http://rott.classicgaming.gamespy.com/hell/

INSTALLATION
--------
- select between the shareware and full versions (shareware game files are included;
you can purchase the full version from www.3drealms.com)
1.5 users: copy contents of 1.5 folder to ms:/PSP/GAME
1.0 use EBOOT.PBP from 1.0 folder with data files from 1.5 folder (make sure your include .rott directory)
2.0 Please let me know if either version works with the latest eboot loader for 2.0 firmware

If you own the full version of the game use the EBOOTs from the "full" directory with the DARK WAR data files.

CONTROLS
----------------
Due to ovious PSP limitations, some game functions are not mapped in the default key configuration. If you don't like the control layout/functions - you can re-assign them in the controls menu.

GAME PLAY
-----------
THIS IS STILL A BETA VERSION! So it may be a bit unstable. Refer to original documentation for details on game play. Network/multiplayer modes are not supported in this release, but you should be able to use some multiplayer levels in "exploration" mode.
There are seems to be a problem displaying the cut-scenes in the begining of the levels in the full version. So if you see a black screen, just hit space/enter a few times to go through it faster.

TODO
----
MUSIC SUPPORT
NETWORK/MULTIPLAYER SUPPORT - hmm, this may take a while
I'll release the source code once I patch major bugs.

Enjoy,

DENIS

Just finished downloading. Not bad for a beta. I´ll be looking forward to the next release, music would be nice. Keep up the good work!!

hm, i can't get the full version running.
that is somehow strange, because the files work fine with the GP32 version of ROTT. so i guess, the game files must be ok.
but after starting, the game just creates a \darkwar subfolder with 4 .rot files in it and then resets

am i missing something?

but thanks for porting that game =)

See if you get some error messages in stdout.txt file
..and make sure you have .rott subfolder...
It's running just fime on my 1.5 PSP

Bloody fantastic : I loved this far more than doom in it's day, 5 star job chief !

Thank You, deniska for all ur work on this.

To be honest I never got around to playin this... (probably due to DOOM & DUKE3D) but I threw it on my PSP just now and enjoyed the trial version alot. So, i'm now on the hunt for a full version

Great Work!

yep, i have a "stdout.txt" saying:
Rise of the Triad Startup Version 1.4
CD Version
Z_INIT: 8950000 bytes
IN_Startup: Mouse Present
W_InitFiles: no files found Episode = 0
Area = 1

so what does this exactly mean?
i copied all files from my full version to the \rott\.rott folder. which files are missing?
i even tried it from a different source, but get the same error log.

I think you messed up the directory sructure
Your ms:/PSP/GAME/rott directry must include 14 files that come with the full version, EBOOT file and .rott subdirectory.
