Which is the best source port for shadow warrior?
This might be noob status but i tried VoidSW and it calls out to a bunch of different IP addresses.
Don't like the idea of it calling out and sending packets to IP addresses to just play Shadow warrior.

I was thinking either BuildGDX or Raze.
Which one is better or more preferable for a good mouse look, and just general enjoyable experience.
Shadow Warrior Classic Redux is total BS dudes

why not just block it with windows firewall?

I'd rather just not use the source port at all than have to do that desu

>>7802376
both feel really good - I have a slight preference to BuildGDX though. try em both and see what you like.

>> No.7802437

Game works best in DOSBox.

>>7802419
True I'm probably better off just trying both desu. I can probably compile raze or get a nightly build or something

What's wrong with classic redux

I don't like the Mouse Control personally. It just sucks balls. I gotta change it every single time i play and it never feels smooth

No it doesn't. It doesn't even hit http://eduke32.com/VERSION at startup like EDuke32 does.

>> No.7803178

I've been playing the VoidSW version for a while and I do not care. Nothing to hide, nothing to fear.

>>7803173
yeah it did bro. I got the voidsw.exe from duke world uploaded it to virus total and it called out to like 7 or 8 different ip addresses at start up

Logs or it didn't happen.

This is the voidsw.exe from http://dukeworld.duke4.net/eduke32/eduke32_current.zip on virustotal: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/1c5d4a53c1cc7bd3080fb500e0f88364ae90d7992de58c201fae83c4a756db0f/behavior
As you can see, it makes no network connections.
However, I did see really weird behavior from virustotal itself when I tried to drag the .exe directly out of the .zip it came from and into the virustotal file input. It looks like something in Chrome is broken and it feeds it 0 bytes of data when you try dragging something into it from an archive.
This is the result: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855/detection
It would make you think something was making a bunch of connections to Apple or something if you didn't notice the "0 B" size or the wrong filename when looking at the virustotal results.

>>7803327
Idk maybe something went wrong but i coulda swore it said it made network connections. Maybe i was wrong.
I just got wary cause i remembered gzdoom does not do that..
So i was in my mind
>Like hey good looks for the source port but at least let me know you're collecting data on your program
So i asked for other opinions on source ports. Heard raze was good but i've never compiled a program. Might try buildgdx.
Its just the mouse control in redux is just absolutely trash

>> No.7803350

>>7803338
You probably had the same problem I did, where it came back with bullshit when I tried to drag something out of a .zip into it.
The mouse in Redux is totally trash though.

>> No.7803373

>>7803350
i beat the game using the mouse look once before but never noticed just how bad it was until i didn't play it for a while.
I was like yo this is terrible and with twin dragon, the mines being not able to be seen is absolutely not okay.
Don't get me wrong either imo the Shadow warrior expansion's aren't that great to begin with but not having the mines above ground is just malpractice desu
I guess Redux is basically a ten year old port if you think about it. Came out like what 2012?

Jf shadowwarrior is fine.
