Re: Steam Deck Compatibility

It is asking for the CD, so I'm limited to the demo game, and there is also no sounds aside from character video quips. I don't have a steam deck, so I don't know if this will work or not... If you have the original CD and a CD rom, you could make an ISO copy of the disc and then you could mount it...

Re: Steam Deck Compatibility

Hi zombipuppy! Both Deadlock games use Windows APIs, and the steam deck runs a Linux based operating system. The only thing that I can think of would be to see if there is a Windows/Windows program emulator that is available. For Deadlock 2, the emulator would also need to handle direct draw, direct...

Deadlock 2: Gameplay fixes

Hello all, I would like to let everyone know that I have created code that should fix some of the gameplay issues with Deadlock 2 on newer systems. While reversing the game code, I recently discovered that Cyberlore didn't truly utilize DirectDraw when making DL2. They basically used it to set the m...

Re: Contributing to OpenDeadlock development

move multiple units/colonists at once, I think this is already a feature in the game if you hold down the Alt key while dragging the units unless you are referring to some other kind of move. As for setting multiple building tasks at the same time, I could see that being useful. Maybe have a settin...

Re: HOW TO: Fix issues with crashing and freezing

Apologies in advance for the long post, but I wanted to give an update. I have almost completely reverse engineered version 1.20 of Deadlock 1. I would estimate that it is about 95% working with a few hiccups that still need to be fixed. Since I basically have the source code, I wanted to try and un...

Re: Questions about Deadlock

I doubt the original developers will ever see this, but just in case... Do you remember what resources were used to learn how to create all of your custom drawing/map creation functions in the game? Also one of the territory drawing functions (SmearLight) causes the game to crash when zooming into a...

Re: Deadlock 2 Demo Upgrade Patch

Ha it's funny that you posted this. I started working on deadlock 2 around Thanksgiving trying to solve the black screen/flickering in version 1.20, and I was visiting the forum today to say that I think I'm very close to fixing it. Someone in another thread mentioned that he thought it had to do wi...

Re: Does anyone know about networking?

That's great news MildewMan1, I am sorry I am too busy to test it correctly right now. I just want to ask if there is any way to save the game as soon as the host disconnects. Ok, I just uploaded a new version to Github, and I listed all of the changes on the Readme. I added some code where anytime...

Re: Does anyone know about networking?

As long as the host does not enable the Kill AI code, then I believe it should be possible. I will test it out and verify though. I am already working on some improvements to it though including adding a dll version number, which should have been added in the first one, to prevent people with mismat...

Re: Does anyone know about networking?

I am ready to let people test out the new multiplayer framework for Deadlock 1! To use this, copy the 4 DLLs from my github (https://github.com/MildewMan1/Deadlock_Multiplayer) into your Deadlock folder and start Deadlock. If you are using the GOG version, you will need to use the multiplayer patch ...
