Re: Total Annihilation re-relase for newer windows systems

I thought this was old news. o_O Not really, there was a few re-edit like "platinum collections" and such but with no work at all on the engine, so it was running so-so on newer systems. Remember TA is a DirectX 3 game ! (or was it 5 ?) I have experienced things like so sound in game, some sound bu...

zuzuf, don't forget one thing :

video is an integrated Intel 945 video card, so the central memory is also the memory used for video.
So you've got memory taken by the game and the AI + memory for the graphics wich is normaly in the video card if you've got a NVidia or a ATI.

it's not good if TA3D is this picky on the allegro versions... or at least there should be a warning at compile time to say "upgrade to allegro >= 4.2.2 !"

I think moving to D3D is pretty stupid since directx technologies are windows only, remember that one of the goal of TA3D is to be portable to various systems.
Only OpenGL is supported on Windows, Linux (and BSDs), OSX.

I think it's a waste of time.
