On Wednesday, August 28, 1996 13:39:00, PAAVO MAKELA was yodeling naked to CHARLES FOSTER Subject: p6/mmx PM> Is this 'mmx' some new technology? Can it ever be implented to P5 PM> system somehow? PM> From your message I get the picture that old programs written PM> normally (without that MMX operation used, that is), so that programs PM> would have to be re-written to take advance of this operation? MMX is a new instruction set. If your processor wasn't made with MMX opcode support, there's no way to "add it in." It requires a new processor chip. It will be out on all P5's 150 MHz and above, I believe. There ARE plans to add it to the P6 line of chips, but details are sketchy right now. I'm currently working on a game and we are thinking about reoptimizing for the MMX set. My programmer assures me that graphix/sound would run 2-4 times faster! Of course, current games (e.g. Duke Nukem 3D) have no MMX support (which is at the .ASM level) and would have to have their low-level code *rewritten and reoptimized* to use it. So, don't hold your breath for MMX "ports" of older or current games.... SORRY TO BURST YOUR BUBBLE. :( -=> ---- Nikhil Shringarpurey <=- Have a nice day, PAAVO!

How do you make walls that blow up with RPGs and stuf As in SI> Cinema Screen in HolyWood Holocaust (E1L1.MAP) SI> B. How do you do slopes as in the first bit of HolyWood SI> Holocaust. A. I have to check on this one. Haven't tried that *yet*. :( B. Pick the wall/ceiling you want the slope to "pivot" from and point at the floor/ceiling of the sector near that wall and press Alt-F. This sets it as the "first" wall of the sector. Then point to the ceiling or floor and use the bracket keys ] and [ to slope. Also, pressing Alt-[ or Alt-] will match the slope to the next sector (i.e. if sector 1 has floor of 1000 and sector 3 has floor of 1500, pressing Alt-[ on Sector 2's Floor will match its slope so there is a smooth incline.) Remember to **always** check the first wall. Glad to be of help. Netmail me with any other questions you have. -=> ---- Nikhil Shringarpurey <=- L8r!
