stefanhendriks Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 you could visit my site (arrakis.dune2k.com) , you can find a gfx pack, and even the sources of my attempts. THe latest attempt of my Dune 2 clone is closed source, but i think this will be a good start. If you want to see the source of another dune clone, you can check out the forum and search for "Dune Legacy". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharQueDo Posted February 22, 2005 Author Share Posted February 22, 2005 Okay, I have the resources now. But I need help with actually C++ coding.Maybe you can help me a hand, Stefan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stefanhendriks Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 learning to code is not that simple. You mostly learn it by just doing it. You will never lose a thing, as you will always win experience. And a at a time, you can write such a game and wonder why it was so hard ;)For a start, check out allegro.cc and check their games. (with source) head to http://www.allegro.cc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winter Dragon Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 If you need a modeller and texturer, I might be interested if your game intends to be like dune 2. I'm a bit of a hardcore fan of the classic, and I hate what they did to Dune 2000 and Emperor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvalin Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 How about getting involved in the existing Dune Legacy project(http://sourceforge.net/projects/dunelegacy)?I've just restarted the project and I'm in the need of people helping me out..

Trim Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 is dune legacy standalone? or does it use the dune2 engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stefanhendriks Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 a clone is totally coded from the ground up. So , its using its own engine , not dune 2 itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
