[Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

Can someone look up to this project and recompile it on Fremantle ?

Let's not forget Diablo and N8x0 users :(

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

well i'll be... :D

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

Amazing, just look at this

It seems this clone also fixes bugs and adds features to the game. This will be PERFECT for the N900.

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

I've played around with it a couple of days ago. It compiles cleanly for ARM if you turn off sound support. Someone just needs to package this thing up.

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

Come on, don't let this thread sink!

So an N900 port won't have sound? :(

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

i want this, my mum would l9ove it!

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

I want this badly, so I'll package and maintain it (including Diablo version) if nobody wants to take it or has started work on it (tso? tomaszd?)

Music probably uses timidity. Since that would take quite a lot of CPU I suggest pre-rendering the music. Note that any port of this CAN'T distribute the game data files, which you will need to provide.

Thank you very much for pointing me to the existence of this! It's still a work in progress I see, but great progress so far!

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

cool news javispedro, I'm glad that you have same obsession on theme hospital like I have, report back if you get it working and make sample debs

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

if i am reading the config file correctly (attempting to get it working on a desktop linux install) the music is originally in midi, but can be found in mp3 form online (one address is mentioned in the config.txt file).

the game itself seems fairly compact, if one can manually install the needed files on a SD card somehow.

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

Well, I just uploaded a initial one to -devel. On N900 the basic game, sound effects, etc. work at an acceptable speed, and the interface is usable at 800x480. Music doesn't work, because:
a ) I find timidity overkill (though I don't see why it won't work If someone packages it!),
b ) The Nokia blessed libsdl-mixer1.2 doesn't have mp3 support and thus the remixed songs don't work... in fact, it seems to only support wav :( .

I didn't try on the N810 because the diablo toolchain doesn't support pragma "pack" which this software uses extensively, and while it builds I'm pretty sure it'll crash on boot :) . This should be fixable, though.

Note that CorsixTH is just a "playable demo" for now. You can't win or lose nor save or load. If you still want to try, you'll need to put the Original Theme Hospital "Hosp" folder into your MyDocs folder (the game seems to require case insensitivity) and edit /opt/CorsixTH/config.txt .
(you can see the package is optified, btw).

BTW, many thanks to the liblua and cmake packagers.

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

Strange, I couldn't get even wav working in libsdl-mixer..

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

The builtin "blocks" game uses wav sound files, so I'm pretty sure they work.


N810:

:D
It works, but needs swap :)

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

Well... if you guys manage to make wav work - users with the original discs can just copy the sound files and convert them to wav with a 3rd party software on their computer. I mean it's still legal if it's done by the user with the original copy, right?

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

Go for timidity. I've used it in S60 OpenTTD port without any significant performance problems.

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

well, bullfrog is no more, tho its copyrights and such are held by electronic arts, and this is a area of serious gray. Id software for instance dont care much what people do with their engine code, but one need a copy of the original game to use the maps and textures. Other companies come down hard on any kind of attempt to future proof their old creations...

i guess as long as EA never considers bringing another theme hospital game out, and this fan variant never takes of in any serious way, its safe. But if they ever brought the issue to court, the judge would probably side with EA.

but i am no lawyer, just a fence-top observer of the mess that is copyright in the digital age.

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

Perhaps someone could make dungeon keeper run on the n900 too? That'd be awesome!

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

Worked on N900

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

Mine just exits to desktop when i load it, any ideas what might be causing this?

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

This is simply great! However, would anyone be so kind as to write a very good guide start to finish for getting TH to run fully? If possible!
I'm an incredible noob! I can use df in xterminal and that is about as far as iv got!! thanks :D

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

< ukki> libsdl-mixer midi seems to work

also it plays .mod files

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

Well, but I guess it uses timidity for that too.

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

You'll need to place the Theme Hospital files in the folder /home/user/MyDocs/Hospital before you can run it.

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

libsdl-mixer uses an old version of timidity and the support is builtin, but it's missing the soundfonts by default. duke3d-timidity only installs the missing soundfonts so after you install it, it should play midi. It works at least with duke and doesn't seem to slow it down a lot.

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

i got it working, i put the 'Hospital' folder in 'MyDocs'
but how do i edit the config file?

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

I am so confused with this. Could someone please help me.
I have the CD and moved the files to /MyDocs/Hospital. Do I need to tweak the File Manager or Am I not doing this correctly?
Sorry, I'm new to this system.

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

The config file is in /opt/CorsixTH/config.txt

As for now, if you don't know how to edit it I suggest to restrain from using this package, since there's no game to play (it's mostly a demo).

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

I would love to see this on a portable, it would be amazing! I have to say that I reckon a system with a capacitive screen and stylus could be more suited to strategy type games than the capacitive ones.

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

Is there a way to remap the keyboard? Like through a config file? I have a scandinavian keyboard where the up/down arrows are behind the blue funktion key so I can't scroll up or down. Only left and right.

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

As a workaround change your keyboard layout in the settings to english layout before you start playing.
This works here with the german layout.

CorsixTH is it able to play on n900 yet
 

Just wondering if this is complete or not?

I have the full game file, and have installed the app from the app manager, but am not sure how to tell corsixth where the game CD directory is, just goes to black when i load it.



or have I delved into one of the alpha/beta apps which isn't fully ready yet?

any help would be good. cheers

Re: CorsixTH is it able to play on n900 yet
 

You can find the answer in this thread: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=38759

The data files should be placed in /home/user/MyDocs/Hospital/

The game itself is in beta although I wouldn't call it a beta. You can play one level that loads automatically and build most things in the hospital, but a lot of features are missing and there is no story.

Re: CorsixTH is it able to play on n900 yet
 

I see, Thank you...


I suppose the other question is would I be better to play this in DOSbox, or will it be too slow?

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

You can also scroll by tapping on the corners. In the future, I assume more comfortable panning will be added.

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

How to save the game?

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

I really hope I don't have to quote myself on each and every future page...

I think this would be nice to have on N900:

Re: CorsixTH
 

We already have Beta1, Javispedro just needs to update the package.

Re: CorsixTH
 

Mods: please merge with http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=38759 .

I will of course update the package, but you'll have to wait until the weekend since I've allocated all of my free time for this week already :)

Re: CorsixTH
 

Great, I really love this game, and you did a good port for the N900 :)

Rotating items is a little pain, or is there a button to do this? (sorry if it has been asked before).
