Eureka Virtual Machining Download
Charlyn Scifres
Virtual machining is the practice of using computers to simulate and model the use of machine tools for part manufacturing. Such activity replicates the behavior and errors of a real environment in virtual reality systems.[1] This can provide useful ways to manufacture products without physical testing on the shop floor. As a result, time and cost of part production can be decreased.[2]
Using a 2D technical drawing, the software we have developed automatically generates the robotic toolpath to be followed to perform the required machining operation and sends the commands to the CAM-Robot.
That's how I do it too, minus the XWE part. Could also setup DB1 or DB2 in a virtual machine.
Which ports do you target? I'd like to play some of your maps.
Of course I'm in favor of this project. Yadex seemed promising, but I found it too difficult to be productive. Maybe DB spoiled me :P

3D mode may be problematic due to 3D acceleration, depending on which virtualisation platform you're using. VirtualBox has some 3D smarts though from memory not enough for Doom Builder.
I map for Boom, I guess this would be the best example of work done.
And no, I don't think DB spoils anyone, all these ancient editors verge on completely unusable. I am in awe of anyone who could make a good coherent map in them, let alone great megawads like Memento Mori. No matter how much I think about it, it still surprises me that it took almost 11 years for someone to make an intuitive and easy-to-use Doom editor with 3D mode. Considering Duke3D had the Build Editor in 1996, it wasn't a huge stretch of the imagination to extend that to Doom. We owe so much to CodeImp.
I've renamed the included binary to "eureka" instead of "Eureka" and copied DOOM2.WAD into the folder, renamed that to doom2.wad, tried ./eureka and got the same result. It's like it's not recognizing there's a binary there at all, though the file properties indicate it is executable and the type-hit-Tab thing works just fine.
Got rid of the version number in the folder and that didn't work either, nor did moving the /eureka folder into my /home/[username]/ folder.
I've had this problem or something vaguely like it before and it's usually resolved by recompiling everything on my end. But then again, I was never able to run Yadex either...
EDIT: Does it make a difference that I'm on a 64-bit OS?
