My best bet appears to be "DuneEx2", but no joy with it, so far... Best keep looking, huh? Thanks for your suggestions, though...

Thanks! I'll do as you suggest and report back... When you have a subject, like this, it's difficult to know which forum is best suited, innit? I always sorta assumed that this forum was OK for almost anything to do with Emperor, so I plumped for that. Did something weird, the other day... Played Dune 2 for the first time in ages! It has a certain playability, doesn't it? :D

I've pulled some of the sfx from Emperor and they're fine. Some of them, however, are rather weird! Using "BagTool" to extract them. Using "CoolEdit" and "WinAmp" to hear them. What, if anything, am I doing wrong? Are the samples in some weird "wav" format, that even "CoolEdit" doesn't recognise, or am I simply lacking in an encoder, or summat? Figured that one of you knowledgable types would know the answer... ;)

I ran his posting thru my decrypter. I THINK he's trying to say that his dinner's ready and that his mommy has told him to take his teddybear with him to his next English language lesson, so that he may learn something of it. Maybe it's some coolspeak and we're too uncool to understand, ay? ;)

To be honest, I LOVE playing as the Ordos, with the deviator! If you hit a Harkonnen vehicle and send it to attack an Ateides building, or vice-versa, they'll just keep attacking it, 'til it destroyed it! why risk your own units, when you can use theirs? Finished the game, as Ordos, many, many times, with no cheats, using that strategy... :)

There are loads. Try the links listed on this site...If you can download SuperDune, you can edit the scenario files to suit your own desires!!!

I DID say that you needed a carry-all... ;o) The trouble with modern games, is that the graphics, etc. seem to get amazingly better, but there doesn't seem to be that undfinable quality...GAMEPLAY. I would much rather that Dune 2000 had been identical to Dune 2, but with improved graphics. But then, I'm just an old git...

I hope that this makes sense and that someone can help me. It's not a major problem, but it IS a bit annoying...Having downloaded "SuperDune", with the three extra "Houses", I gave it a go...The Fremen one works fine, but the Sarduakar and Mercenary houses seem to have a weird "Bug", if bug it is. I'm unable, for some reason, to place a 2x2 piece of concrete. I can put a single piece down, as long as it's right next to a building, but NOT if it's just next to another piece of concrete, for some reason. I would imagine that I could edit one of the many "scenario" text files to solve this problem, but I don't even know where to start! Any help on this would be much appreciated...

If you look around this site and some of the links that it displays, you'll find that you can download the full version of Dune 2...

I'm not a guest, I'm a member...what WAS my sign-in code, though...? Any way, If you ensure that your repair yard is totally surrounded by buildings and you have a carry-all, or three, any damaged vehicles will be carried to the repair yard and replaced in their original positions by the carry-alls! Saves watching for the damaged vehicles and mucking-about getting them rapaired and back into battle, dunnit? Am I the only one to drag-out Dune 2 for an occasional game, nowadays?

Erm...rotating images? Damn...am I using the wrong browser (NeoPlanet) again? Can't see 'em!

Apart from anything else, an ExAtreides would have a better grasp of basic spelling... :-[

Actually, now that I've got myself a nice lady and stolen the "Heart of gold" from old Zaphod, think of the fun I'll have with an infinite improbability drive!

Just a thought. Make sure you have the very latest version of DirectX installed. I haven't had this problem, myself, but I seem to remember seeing this problem some while ago and this was one of ideas put forward. Quote:If it ain't broken, don't try to fix it...

If you want to get rid of those blasted rocket turrets, make sure the turret is at the very top of the screen and you have a launcher at the very bottom in the same vertical plane. You can put another launcher one tile up and one tile left/right of the first one. All three will be out of range of the turret. This works if you have the launcher at the top of the screen and the turret at the bottom, too. I expect that this is VERY well-known, but I thought I'd pass it on, just in case...

Sorry, guys, me again... Perhaps I'm being dense, here, but I downloaded some maps from somewhere and I can't see how to install them into the game. Would someone be so kind as to give me an idea? If it's too involved to do here, you can e-mail me at katzy@lineone.net Ta!

I found that I often get the "Out of memory" thing after I'd finished certain levels. It would appear that the "between scenario" scenes, showing meetings with the emperor, are very memory intensive, for some reason. Make sure that you save your current game, just before you destroy the opposition's last structure. Then, boot windows in "Safe" mode, to get through the scene. When you begin the next scenario, save the game, again, and you should be alright to start at anytime in normal windows mode. Hope this helps...

I don't expect we'll get it in the UK for another 5 years, or so...

I blame the reverend mothers...

Thanks, Stil. Has anyone else suffered from this problem? It's bloody annoying, to spend a couple of hours on a game, finish it and be stuck doing nothing waiting for the next scenario. Anyone got any ideas on how this trigger might be activated? If you want me to send you a copy of the saved game to ponder over, let me know!

I had this problem, once, when I played Dune 2 on my trusty old Amiga 1200. I've now had it with my PC. When playing as House Ordos I destroy all the buildings and vehicles, but the level won't finish. There are no buildings that have been captured, so what the F is going on? I've only ever had this when playingas Ordos. I don't know for certain what level it is, but I think it's the first or second level where you get Deviators. Have any of you clever types got anyu ideas? Ta!

I've had this problem for some time, so I thought that I'd ask you Knowledgable types if you have any ideas! My mouse is an Artek UM530 PS/2 jobby. Quite often, when I'm in Dune 2, the damned thing stops working. Fortunately, my serial trackball still works so I can save my position and reboot. When I exit Dune2, the mouse still doesn't work and just restarting windows doesn't give me my mouse back, only shutting down will bring it back. I only ever get this problem with Dune2, which is odd. I'm guessing that something's mucking about with my drivers, but that's only a guess. Any ideas?

Good point! Did you get desert/Jungle Strike to work, because I darned-well can't!

Hang onto a thing? oo-er!

U.K. about 30 miles east of London. To be honest, what with all the poo from my wife running-off, I would rather be about a million miles from here! Any offers (sane or otherwise!)? What bus do I catch to get to Caladan?
