Adriano Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 got some news, preplaced buildings and events (triggers) are now working in skirmish too.Excuse me. Would you (somebody on the forum) like to explain me, what does it mean "skirmish" in Dune 2000? If you please... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruntlord6 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Is there a reason I need to run this in compatibility mode to see the game at all? If I don't I only hear the game music and see my desktop at the game resolution.I never had to use compatibility mode for the game exe or for the online launcher.

Feda Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Not sure if i got it properly, if i didnt i apologize. Gruntlord, if you're talking about funky's .exe, its not compatible with the old hires patch. Maybe thats the reason but again im not sure I understood it well. Btw, here's Ordos mission 9 version 2, now PROPERLY ported for Co-Op. All events are working properly, and both players can select House Ordos (no more oos it seems). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyFr3sh Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 athanasios / gruntlord: i found a bug which caused the game to fail if the videobackbuffer option was not supported, this might solve the problems in linux (and virtual machines) file updated this also explains why the game runs so fast in virtual machines, cause it turns the backbuffer off feda:nice one :D btw, does you game flicker all the time or is it just the video? i got a fix for that, but might need some testing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

athanasios Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 1. In original resolution 640x400 there are scan lines http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scan_lines. Can we have/emulate this as an option for other resolutions to get a retro/original feeling? 2. Any way possible to make scrolling more smooth?

Any way possible to make scrolling more smooth? i never noticed any scan lines, maybe that happens because of something on linux? The fast scrolling is related to linux for sure, cause the video backbuffer is turned offthe game crashes lolk, i wasnt sure which of the wrappers was working for dune :D try through all of the renderers via ts config -> http://funkyfr3sh.cncnet.org/files/ts-config.7z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

athanasios Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Scanlines exist in the original game. You need a CRT to notice them. I cannot tell about LCDs and non default refresh rates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean what do I have to do if I want to start a game like this?you will need to create a custom mission, and a custom prac.mis .. then go to the online lobby somewhere and fire it up :) feda can prolly provide you a few example maps i will prolly get the new dune online server done soon, once everything is working i will add the mission stuff too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
