So, if you only want the base game (and I think a few custom campaigns) you can download and install gruntmods from here: https://gruntmods.com/dune_2000_gruntmods_edition And if you want 95% of the custom campaigns, missions and all the stuff download this instead: The 2º is a post with the "all in one" installer that somebody did with dunemaster, so you can download all in 1 single file, the file is very big so it may take some time to download it, but no need to worry on the very last .exe (unless maybe if you want to play some custom stuff very specific). But for the most part, the all in one is just to download, unzip and install and everything will work right away, it was done to have just that and not having to download extra stuff. This already includes 50 custom campaigns or around that number so... it has lots of stuff to play and will be applied all. One very important: care where you install the game, installing on certain folders may have issues with Windows, permits and stuff; just be sure to execute the game in admin mode. Loading certain missions it won´t matter, but if a custom campaign try to apply X mod, windows may partially block the mod (because the launcher will move, copy and delete files around, which lastests windows doesn´t like that much) going so far to even break the game. Maybe the mission looks like a huhe gibberish, and then even if you load any of the original westwood made maps they won´t load properly (random visuals, wrong units... so on) which may force you to reinstall from scratch again. Just exec as "admin" to be sure and you will fine.

Many thanks for the reply! The game literally just stopped loading - I think I was using GruntMaster and I think maybe by accident I moved some of the folders into One Drive and the whole thing got totally messed up so I just removed everything I could find and I need to start from scratch...I originally installed it like 5 years ago and I still have the same PC. I cant even work out where to Download the exe file from anymore. Where do I download it? I think what I need to do is - download the EXE file and put it in the same folder as the files i download from the links below, right?! It would help if someone could just explain in as simpler terms as possible, eg idiot proof, what I'm supposed to do to start this from scratch. Again sorry for being thick. Once I have done this I wanted to raise a point here so the people who designed and worked on these missions can understand how they really helped me in a really hard moment. https://forum.dune2k.com/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=4519 https://forum.dune2k.com/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=4519

were you using the original game, gruntmods version or dunemaster version? You can write any issues you have like "it doesn´t work because this error pop up" or something along those lines, or if you were trying to play the original campaigns or a custom ones and etc, the more info, the better. Gruntmods and dunemaster are practically the same, I cannot even tell the differences, but usually if one works, the other not. If you were using the original iso of the game, just try any of those 2, if you were using any of those two just open the config and mark and unmark all the options until there is one that click. And if that doesn´t help, if you had gruntmods install dunemaster or vicevera.

My apologies for asking what is probably a really stupid question as its probably staring me in the face....but I Cannot work out how to reinstall the Dune 2000 game! I was playing it on and off for years and all of a sudden it just completely stopped working on my computer. Can someone help guide me how I reinstall? HUGE thanks!!

There is a bug with Apollyon's AI mod for the campaign. The game crashes on the seventh Harkonnen mission after choosing between Gunseng and Copec. Just remove the mod to continue the campaign and put it back in after that mission. I assume those missions use scripts that get messed up by the changes the AI mod makes.

Glad to help. For the future, the name on an user is on the top of the avatar, "Fedaykin" is just a range based on number of posts or something like that. If you check yourself your name "Nyteshade" is on top of the "N" picture, while below the range is just "Fremen". I mention this just in case another person write something and you think we are the same person (there is also an user that has the name "Feda" and may be confusing why are so many "fedas" around here).

Much love <3

Thank you Fedaykin. I don't know how I missed that. I guess I was expecting it to be on the main menu. It worked.

There is an actual in game optiont that sais "delete save", just open the menu with the escape key while you are on the battlefield at any moment. you should have a load, a save and a delete option, you go in there and delete the ones you don´t need. Game will rename saves to have only the ones you actually want. Game probably loads saves from 0 to maximum, so if you manually delete any number it just doesn´t know because 1 is missing, but if you use the actual delete option on the game you don´t need to do that.

How do I delete a specific save game file? When I open GameSave I have the following files listed: S0.SAV hs.dat S1.SAV S2.SAV S3.SAV S4.SAV S5.SAV S6.SAV S7.SAV S8.SAV S9.SAV I am trying to delete the second save game listed when I open the load mission screen. I am not sure which files apply to which save games. When I delete, S2.SAV the game only shows the two most recent save games as opposed to all 10. I am specifically trying to delete the second most recent save game I made while keeping the most recent save I made.

Can somebody help me please???

Marxism was created specifically as a tool to overthrow a target country's government through violent revolution. The First World War was brought about in order to overthrow the power of the Czars in Russia to make that country a fortress of atheistic Communism/marxism. Communism was built and used in order to destroy other governments and in order to weaken the religions. Communism and atheism go hand in hand. LOL did you read the Epstein emails? At this point there is no denying the bankers are in control. Napoleon was financially backed by the Rothschilds family, formerly known as the Bauers. Napoleon started bad mouthing the Rothschilds publicly so they pulled his funding and he lost the battle in Russia. All wars are banker wars, you should know this by now. Which ever King wins the war, they now owe guys like the Rothschild lots and lots of money. If you wanna know more about the Rothschild's ideology read the Epstein emails. They truly believe that it is their right to rule and control all the goyim, so ultimately, communism/marxism comes from them, it's their tool of control. These people are VERY dangerous and have fooled you. Their tool of control has been around even before the French Revolution. It was during the English Revolutions, during the times of the execution of King Charles in 1649 to the institution of the Bank of England in 1694. These bankers, or money barons, go way back. If you want I can give you a full timeline later. Marx's kids did not outlive him, that's my point. A lot of them committed suicide. Marx was a terrible father and human being. Again, his own father likened him to the devil. I'm not making this up, this was recorded by his friends and family. And it's true that he didn't actually set foot in a factory until AFTER he wrote the manifesto. He was a whiney loser in college, far removed from removed from the working class. Your beliefs are irrelevant. Communism, REAL communism, is a tool of control, always has been, always will be. It was always designed to be. Although it has been around since even before the French Revolution, modern communism was solidified and organized in the year 1773 by a group of International Money-Barons (Rothschilds and co) who have used it since, as their manual of action, to further their plans to bring about a Totalitarian Godless State. Lenin made this clear in his book Left Wing Communism. On page 53, he said : “Our theory (Communism) is not a dogma (Settled Doctrine); it is a manual of action”. There is no appreciable difference between Red and Black Atheism. The only difference is in the plans used by the opposing leaders to ultimately win undisputed control of the world’s resources, and bring into being their ideas for a Totalitarian, Godless, Dictatorship. Marx and communism was only one part of this plan. Nazism was another part. Karl Ritter wrote the anti-thesis to Marx's manifesto. He also drew up a plan by which he maintained the Aryan Race could first dominate Europe and then the entire world. Certain Atheistic leaders of the Aryan Group adopted Karl Ritter’s plan. They organized Nazism to further their secret ambitions to obtain ultimate control of the World and turn it into a Godless State, under their conception of a totalitarian dictatorship. This small group of men knew they must either join up with, or destroy, the power and influence of the International Bankers. But the bankers had planned all along to pit nazism against communism, and that's exactly what happened during World War 2. THIS RABBIT HOLE GOES DEEP, SON. And it's not a conspiracy theory. It's a fact. There are truly some sick people pulling the strings. They have been pulling the strings for thousands of years, mainly through banking. The history of the Rothschild family (whom Epstein worked for) is fascinating, I'll post a summary in the next comment if you're interested.

Guess who's back, back again, Edric's back, tell a friend! I miss this place... And, in truth, I miss the early 2000s. I suppose that's the mark of being a true Old Timer! This invitation from 4 years ago is still good, right? Let's do it!

So. Hello there, DoMoNiC_HuNtEr. I see that you've resurrected my old thread. And you have made a lot of extremely false claims, which I intend to address. First of all, I see you couldn't resist repeating the old "communism killed a gazillion people" trope. This falls apart the moment you try to apply the same standards to capitalism, or democracy, or monarchy, or any other form of government, economic system, or ideology. Because it quickly becomes obvious that they are ALL "responsible for many, many, many deaths" by those same standards. To name just one example, you listed people killed in civil wars started by socialists as being people "killed by socialism". Do you realize how many people died in other civil wars started by... pretty much every other ideology? If ideologies are responsible for deaths caused by people fighting in their name, then ALL ideologies have killed millions, and the argument devolves into debating who killed more (as if killing less makes you better... hey, the Taliban technically killed fewer people than U.S. wars did, so the Taliban have the better system of government! Right? Right?). Next, the idea that socialism (or anything else) was invented as a tool of control by people who were already in control of society at the time is just the height of absurdity. You think aristocrats and bankers invented socialism... in the 1700s... in order to... control people? In the 1700s and 1800s? What about the divine right of kings? They already had an ideology to control people, and it was the polar opposite of socialism! Not only that, but socialism ultimately traces its origins to certain currents within the French Revolution. You think the French Revolution was an aristocratic conspiracy too? I've heard about losing your head in your plans but this is ridiculous... Look, I am familiar with every conspiracy theory out there. I know where they each came from. Now, in your posts, you have repeated most of the tropes of the "Judeo-Masonic global conspiracy" theory (you claim that Marx was a Freemason, you make a big deal about the obscure early socialist Moses Hess whose only prominent feature is that he has a very Jewish name, etc). The only thing is, this particular conspiracy theory is intended to be PRO-aristocratic. The idea behind it was that the French revolutionaries, the liberals, the socialists, and the left in general are a bunch of Jews, Freemasons and possibly lizardmen who ruined the glorious golden age of aristocratic feudal utopia that existed before 1789, when all of Europe lived in rural bliss overseen by the benevolent aristocracy and the divinely appointed kings. In other words, it goes against the internal logic of your own conspiracy theory to claim that socialism is somehow connected with the aristocracy or the elites. This conspiracy theory about Jews and Freemasons was invented to argue that the aristocracy and the elites were GOOD and the socialists were evil for overthrowing them. You also make a ton of verifiably false claims, like saying that all of Marx's children died before he did (in fact, he had some kids who died in infancy as was common in the 19th century, but all the ones who reached adulthood outlived him), or repeating the trope that he didn't know factories or factory workers (in fact he was one of the leaders of the International Workingmen's Association from 1866), and so on. But the biggest reason why you are wrong is because you're just arguing about the wrong things. Did you notice that you never once listed a single thing that socialists believe, a single principle or idea or proposal? You never said "socialists argue X, but X is false and I'll explain why". Instead, you just accused the founders of socialism of being part of a conspiracy. And the problem with that is that even if it were true, it would not invalidate socialism. Individual people can be members of a conspiracy, sure. But an ideology cannot be a conspiracy - ever! - because an ideology is a set of ideas. If you read socialist books and decide that you agree with the ideas in them, does a representative of The Conspiracy® ring your doorbell to invite you to join? In fact, how are you even supposed to know that a conspiracy existed, if you never met the people in that conspiracy and you just happen to agree with the ideas they promoted in public? Even if the founders of an ideology promoted their ideas for malicious secret reasons centuries ago, those founders are dead and their conspiracy is dead along with them. The ulterior motive is gone, and all that's left are the public ideas themselves. A conspiracy is when you have a group of people who claim to believe X but actually support Y. So then, X is the ideology that is public and known by everyone, and Y is the hidden agenda of the conspiracy. This sort of thing can happen, sure, but the conspiracy cannot be spread by the public ideology of X alone. You need someone who knows and supports the hidden agenda, to actually continue the conspiracy. If a group of people start supporting ideology X without being in contact with anyone who knows the hidden agenda Y, then that group is NOT part of the conspiracy. And if everyone who knows (or cares) about Y dies of old age, then the hidden agenda is gone and the "surface ideology" of X is all that is left. Let's use an analogy. Suppose that the game of football was invented as a front for a money laundering operation by the mafia. Does that mean that genuine football fans and football players don't exist, and everyone involved with the game is part of the mafia conspiracy? Not at all. The game can - and will - acquire a life of its own. If the game becomes popular and successful, then it will keep going even after the mafia conspiracy ends. So even if it was originally invented by some bad people for deceptive reasons, other people can just take it and run with it and do it "for real", not as a front for something else. The game, like a political ideology, is a set of ideas - game rules in this case - and people who adopt those ideas don't need to have the same motivation as the original founders. In fact, don't we all sometimes copy political ideas from our enemies? I do! Who cares where the idea came from? If I think it's a good idea, I'll take it. I can literally hate the person who came up with the idea, and still support the idea by itself. This is why conspiracy theories are the lowest tier of political thinking. They fail to distinguish between ideas and people, they fail to understand that a bad person can come up with a good idea, or vice versa (good people can have terrible ideas). Conspiracy theories are nothing more than complicated ad hominem fallacies, where an idea is attacked for having a bad author. As it happens, your personal accusations against Karl Marx and Moses Hess are lies, but even if they were true it wouldn't matter, because those people died 150 years ago. What's left are the ideas and principles of communism. If you want to argue against them, you have to know what they are and explain why they are wrong. It does not matter who came up with those ideas originally, or why. The author is irrelevant, the ideology stands or falls on its own merits. And I strongly suspect that you do not know what socialist or communist principles actually are.

Ho-hummm.... Who disturbs my slumber...? For untold eons, this thread lay at rest. The world turned and ages passed. Presidents rose and fell. Old wars ended, new ones started, the plague came and went, the reign of an ancient queen came to an end. Eventually, sightings of Edric O became rarer and rarer, until one day they stopped entirely. For six long years now, no one has seen him. Some say he was merely a myth. Some say he is busy with life. Others say he sleeps beneath the forum still, awaiting the fateful day when someone is wrong on the internet. Now that day has finally come. The silence covering the ancient thread has been broken. It is time to rise. The sleeper must awaken!

Maybe during installation something went broke, is hard to tell, anyway, glad you get the thing working. Sill worth mentioning the executing as admin if you go into any custom mission, most the time doesn´t matter, but it takes that one custom mission that mod whatever and Windows may interfere, making that it only copy part of it, which makes the mission to look really bad or being really broken, and then it stays that broken even if you try to play the original missions again. On this case only a fresh install will fix it.

Thanks. While this thread was in premoderation, I asked some guy on the cncnet and he gave me link to the gruntmods one. Installed it right over existed one and it has all the holes even in older saves. Apparently, savegames had the proper data but something was missing from the textures.

That´s a really strange bug I have never even account nor somebody else even reporting this. There are 2 possible "solutions" to this. 1: Try to execute the game with admin privileges and or even installing the game on a different folder instead the default one. 2: Installing the other version of dune 2000: If I am not wrong, the all in one is dunemaster´s, the other version is gruntmods. Both are nearly identical versions, but for some reason some people have issues, crashes, freezing... with 1 version but not the other, while other people is in reverse. Gruntmods don´t have a dedicated link to download the thousand of custom campaigns, but you can apply one into the other just fine.

Look I didn't mean any offense, and I now realize English is not your first language; I now think you actually could have read my entire post, but since you don't command the language as well as others, you don't fully comprehend what I am explaining. Let me be as clear as possible: I am not giving opinions, I am stating facts: Socialism is a tool of control, always has been, always will be. It is a dangerous ideology responsible for many, many, many deaths. There is no argument. But for some reason, you still tried to argue, as if challenging an opinion, even though this is not an opinion. You're trying to argue with me by saying "ideologies don't matter." This is factually incorrect and a very naive thing to say. This is something someone who doesn't understand the point would say. Again, no offense.

Ok, agreed. I will not read anymore. I get the impression you are only here for, ragebaiting. It will also always be meaningless. It will always not make any sense. And you will also assume a lot more. I am not going to respond, since you will assume the most negative things about me or anyone else. PS. Do you know what ideology I am in right now? What is your assumption? Because I didn't mention it, now did I?

I doubt you actually read my post because If you did then you wouldn't be saying "good luck" as that doesn't make any sense in response to what I'm explaining. You probably glanced at the first few sentences, ignored the rest and then reflexively posted that generic, "all ideologies are bad" boiler plate reply. You don't have to read my entire post, I don't really care, but if you don't actually read it all thoroughly, then naturally any and all of your replies to it will be meaningless and/or won't make sense, as demonstrated here.

O yes I did. Many years ago. And I read your posts too. It doesn't matter to me. Good luck with that

Hello. I am using Dune 2000 All in one edition, patch v.1.06 rev. 43 by FunkyFr3sh on Windows 10. Also directdraw dll to use custom resolution, but it doesn't seem to cause the issue per se. The problem is any type of ground, rocks or sand doesn't get any damage, no matter how long it's been shot, even via ctrl force attack. Ground damage holes and craters just don't appear at all. Is there any workaround to this? Game works fine and is fully playable besides this visual bug. Tried to launch it with different windows compatibility options and w/o ddraw dll. Still have no bullet holes in the ground.

This looks really cool.
