    Wolf4SDL and Sod4SDL not compiling properly Empty Wolf4SDL and Sod4SDL not compiling properly

    Hi,
    I've been trying to compile Wolf4sdl and Sod4sdl with a minor modification. I'd like to set VBLs to 0 so I don't have to change it everytime I run the game. I found and changed that parameter in the source code and succesfully compiled it in Dev-C++ following every instruction. However, the .exe gets 60kb bigger than the 1.6 original one and runs way slower. What could I be doing wrong?

    Hello, welcome to the madness.

    I don't have a lot of experience with the SDL side of the code yet, but I am wondering why you want to change VBLs. Running mods on SDL should be ok as far as "speed" wise. As far as the exe getting bigger, that shouldn't be a huge deal. Every mod exe gets bigger as more stuff is added. Maybe it runs slower because you are lowering the VBLs? Just a guess.

    Lowering the VBL makes it run faster. Wolf4SDL has 1 VBL by default and I'd like to change it to 0, like the original Wolf3d, for smooth gameplay. However, my .exes are running slower than they should.
    And Chokster37, thank you! Which .exes have the best speed optimization?

    The speed3 gave me similar performance to the original win32 build with 0 VBL turned on. I wonder how he compiled that, because it's 274.432 bytes. I was wondering if you could also compile a SOD set (my compiler doesn't have all those options), if not too much I ask of you. This would help a lot because it starts in front of vines, and my build totally choke in that part, while the original ran silk-smooth with 0 VBL.

    What is the point of Vbls? They jsut make you lag.

    Yes, that's why I wanna change the value to 0 as it was in the original Wolf3d.

    Thank you very much. Now the last thing I'd like to ask you... Could you compile again the original wolf but in VS2005 to see if it matches the speed of Ripper's? I'd have the perfect versions of the game.
