Blitz3D SoLoud Edition

Blitz3D open source release.

Building Blitz3D from source

You will need to install Microsoft Visual Studio, and the CMake and Git utilities. Any recent version of MSVC should be OK, I am currently using Community Edition 2022.

You will also need to install the following optional MSVC components: "Desktop development with C++", "MFC and ATL support" and "ASP.NET and web development".

Then, from a DOS prompt:

git clone https://github.com/blitz-research/blitz3d_soloud.git
cd blitz3d_soloud
cmake -S . -B cmake-build-release -A Win32 -G "Visual Studio 17 2022"
cmake --build cmake-build-release --config Release

Assuming all went well, the BLITZ3D_INSTALL directory will contain the final binaries, simply run Blitz3D.exe to get blitzing!

Too lazy to build?

Grab the prebuilt version from https://blitzresearch.itch.io/

Death Island -- loading fails for one sample

Hi Mark,

Trying the latest Blitz3D (1.116), I noticed I was getting no thunder after a lightning flash in Hi-Toro/Death Island. Adding this after the sample loading (about a page down in the IDE) shows that thunder2 is '0', so that sample now seems to fail loading:

DebugLog wind + " " + sea + " " + rain + " " + thunder1 + " " + thunder2 + " " + run + " " + wade

Would note that if you get thunder, it may be thunder1 playing! Does load in last version of B3D.

Realise possibly just a SoLoud thing you can't do much about -- let me know and I'll try re-jigging the sample in some way.

Doesn't crash, oddly...
