Soldier of Fortune

So lokis is porting Soldier of Fortune to linux? What api are they using? Could they be using SDL?

FWIW, I think we’ve used SDL in every game except EUS. Sometimes
input, most of the time sound, etc. Hardware rendering for 3D games is
of course done through Glide or OpenGL…

Can I ask what you use for windowing - i.e. popups, buttons, scrollbars
etc… GTK, wxWindows or somoe proprietary stuff?

EUS, Fear, and Loathing were written entirely in Gtk+. All other games
have their own libraries built in.

I am interested in this, as at this point I know more about GTK+ than SDL. Is
there somewhere that has more information on using the two together? I recall
something about an SDL widget for GTK+. How did you do it, if I may inquire?> On Tue, Nov 16, 1999 at 10:11:50AM +0000, Neil McGill wrote:

SDL was only used in conjunction with Loathing. Fear doesn’t do much
graphic work, and EUS does it all using Gtk+/Gdk. I believe Loathing
may have used a DrawingArea and the gross SDL_WINDOW_ID hack (yech).

I think there’s a Gtk+ directory in the SDL-demos stuff…
