ScrView 4

My 3D-engine. I have written it between 1997 and 2001 in my free time.
There are no extensions planned on it in the future, since it runs on the old DOS-plattform.
I am working now on an OpenGL-version.

Download DOS Binaries	scrview4bin.zip
Download DOS Binaries + Sourcecode	scrview4.zip

Please use the -d switch in PKUNZIP if you unzip it under DOS.
See README.TXT for a description about the keys for controlling the movement and so on.
The demo runs either under pure MS-DOS, under a DOS-prompt in Windows or with Linux DosEmu.
To start the demo, run "go.bat" in the directory where you unpacked the zip-file.
On Windows, you must use a DOS-prompt with a fullscreen window (press ALT-Enter in DOS-prompt to switch between fullscreen and window-mode) in order to let the program detect all VESA-modes successfully.
The program uses VESA for the high resolution modes. A graphic-card with VESA 2.0 or better is recommended.
The program needs a DPMI host to run under DOS. As a default, CWSDPMI.EXE is loaded at run time (included in the packages above). On Windows, no DPMI-host is needed of course.

Features:

• Written in C++ using DJGPP for DOS (this is a free GNU C++ port for protected mode DOS).
  Borland C++ is no longer supported.
  There are no libraries used. This engine is made with software-rendering.
• 6DOF movement in a world of polygon-objects. You can define the world in a text-file (world.scr is used in the demo). The objects are stored in a modified Rend386 .PLG-format.
• Perspective correct texture mapping (with sub-pixel/sub-texel accuracy).
• Flat (Lambert) shaded polygons.
• Painters Algorithm for visibility.
• Object culling with bounding-sphere method.
• The level of ambient light can be set in run-time.
• Point light source. Its location can also be set in run-time.
• Support for protected mode VESA-modes (for VESA version 2 or higher).
