Dune II native Linux version

[MoRgNer]

Hi!

Here is a first semi-playable snapshot

of the native Linux clone of Dune II:

http://www.morgner.de/linuxdune/linuxdune-0.3-i386-bin-static.tar.gz

The only file that's needed is the dune.pak.

See README for more info!

Features:

most of the units are working, selection

of multiple units, moving, attacking,

structures (without functionality).

This snapshot is very far away from being

complete, but it starts looking like the

original. :)

Enjoy!

Is there a port like this one but for windows? that adds multipul unit selecton and so on for DUEN2,

I know dune2000 has all that, but I dont like dune 2000 ^_^

[neonext]

Dune Legacy is maybe the most complete one...

Hi!

There is a new version (0.4) of linuxdune available!

Download it at http://www.morgner.de/linuxdune/linuxdune-0.4-i386-bin-static.tar.gz.

New features are:

- structures of different sides

- building of structures / units

- sonic waves of sonic tank :)

The game has - except from pathfinding - no AI. That will changed if I manage to decode those EMC files I'm currently working at.

Enjoy,

Can I collaborate on your project?

I know sdl and I'd like to learn to develop a game like dune

When will the next version be released?

[MoRgNer]

Hi!

The next release will contain at least parts of the original Dune II AI,

I'm currently working on an interpreter for those EMC scripts that control

unit and structure behaviour. Structure AI is already working, but in order

to complete AI for movable units, I need to re-write parts of the code.

I can't really tell when the next release will be ready, because I've got a

lot of work to do, but I'll announce it here when it's ready.
