Original Beats of Rage Source Code

[quote userid="24220" name="Lost in Time"][b]I Got it!!![/b]

The "secret" was to use wlink instead of wcl386. I created a batch script so anyone who wants to try the original [b]Beats of Rage[/b] should be able to compile and link it easily. All they have to do is install Watcom or Open Watcom at C:\ and make sure [b]PMODEW[/b] is there. Also make sure the batch script is named "[b]COMPILE.BAT[/b]"

It is here for the record. Not that beautiful but it works.  :D

Thank you very much, Roel, for your time and your amazing work! Although I played many mods at the time, not much from the OpenBoR era, but the original ones, the original BoR still has me. It's very neat and well crafted. I still play it to this day, but mostly the console ports.

Again, thank you Roel, Jeroen, Ian Micheal, Kirby2K, Shaun Nichols, Mr. Q (Mauricio), Master Drico, bWWd, Rameen, L@Cible, DemonCaskey, KungFuCoder, KungPow and of course Neil Corlett for porting this amazing game to PS2, Dreamcast and og XboX (or was the original XboX port made by a600? Can't remember).

Well, just in case I forgot to mention someone, thanks to all the BoR community, from all over the world, who always brings me sweet memories from 20 years ago.  :) 
That was a really, really nice time. :)

That's why it's important to me my nephew could play with the original BoR source code. :)

All the best!

EDIT: I just forgot to mention:
Make sure you have [b]PMODEW[/b] directives in your [b]WLINK.LNK[/b]:
File: [b]C:\WATCOM\BINW\WLINK.LNK[/b]
[code]
# example linker initialization file.
# remember, don't put carets (^) in these!
system begin 286
    libpath %WATCOM%\lib286
    libpath %WATCOM%\lib286\dos
    format dos
end
system begin 386
    option osname='DOS/4G'
    libpath %WATCOM%\lib386
    libpath %WATCOM%\lib386\dos
    op stub=wstub.exe
    format os2 le
end
system begin pmodew
    option osname='PMODE/W'
    libpath %WATCOM%\pmodew
    libpath %WATCOM%\lib386
    libpath %WATCOM%\lib386\dos
    option stub=pmodew.exe
    format os2 le
end
@%watcom%\binw\wlsystem.lnk
[/code]

This should avoid the annoyance of calling DOS4GW.EXE before BOR.EXE.
I think this is it.[/quote]

Happy
