This looks promising. Any info if the application itself is optified? Putting the game data on MMC is a good thing though.

I don't know if it is optified. but it's only 600kb big...

No, it's not optified. It installs a 1.6M binary into /usr/bin (that'll be compressed somewhat though).

This makes me happy in the pants region. Love warcraft.

It's actually more than that I think. Unless I'm mistaken, /media/mmc1/ is in the root which is where you copy all of the data that wargus extracts (another 16M). Maybe this is only true if you don't have a memory card installed?

Shouldn't this be installing and pointing to /home/opt? If you're going to hard code anyway, put it someplace nice. Change /media/mmc1 to /home/opt and that will get a majority out of the root.

Great news; I loved Warcraft 2.

Does anyone know if the AI of Stratagus has evolved in the past years? I believe it is different than the original WC one -- last time I played against the computer, it was way too easy to beat and thus no fun...

Of course, I can also play against humans in network...

If you don't have a memory card installed then yes, you'll want to install the data to /home/opt/games/stratagus and put a symlink into /media/mmc1.

I have all the warcraft series - but I am a little confused about what files I need to copy off the CD. Is it just the DATA dir?

Never mind I am a *****

Frank Banul 2010-01-08 22:00

Re: maemo Games: Stratagus (Warcraft 2) on your N900
 
You have to run Wargus to extract the files off the CD. It wasn't obvious to me but Wargus creates a data directory in c:\program files\wargus by default. Place the contents of that data directory (campaigns, graphics, etc) in /media/mmc1/games/stratagus.

I get this when I try to install stratagus

Any ideas?

Got the same thing. game runs fine.

Re: maemo Games: Stratagus (Warcraft 2) on your N900
 
Yup, maemo-select-menu-location is not available on N900. Doesn't matter.

Soulfarmer 2010-01-09 09:39

Re: maemo Games: Stratagus (Warcraft 2) on your N900
 
I still can't get the game to start. from xterm if I start stratagus, it says I need to specify data folder and when I do, it can't even find preferences.lua... sorry if I seem to be total noob, but that's just because I am when app-manager is not used :)

have you already extracted the files from the warcraft 2 cd with wargus?

Soulfarmer 2010-01-09 09:55

Re: maemo Games: Stratagus (Warcraft 2) on your N900
 
Yeah, I think so. wargus gave me "data" folder which seems to be correct content-wise.

Re: maemo Games: Stratagus (Warcraft 2) on your N900
 
Works great - thanks a lot! Please up it to extras so others would use it.

Also note you can use the red pill(App manager -> Add Cataloge->Type "matrix" in address -> press cancel -> menu -> Install from file-> choose the deb file downloaded) to install this aswell without x-term.

@zehjotkah - the link is legal - so what's the problem?

the "could" link is really legal??? (i don't mean the "find" link... there are two...)

Bratag 2010-01-09 16:42

Re: maemo Games: Stratagus (Warcraft 2) on your N900
 
The link is just a link through to amazon selling the version I have for $128 bucks :)

Dragy 2010-01-09 17:25

Re: maemo Games: Stratagus (Warcraft 2) on your N900
 
By any chance, is this gonna be a proper app in the catalog? Us simple end users are too afraid to go through all of this. I mean it's legal and all, so why not? It'll be the user's responsibility to put the files in place, just like ya do with emulators...

Anyway looks great! Keep it up!

@Dragy The problem is that you have to run a utility to extract your owned data files, so this is never going to be a point-and-click install.

Hmm, but like I said, it will be the user's responsibility - to handle the files. But I'm talking the app itself... no way? :(

Thanks for bringing attention to this, very good stuff.
Theres also this thread which focuses on installing on the tablets:
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=16774

Also:
"2007-06-10 Stratagus development halted

Development on Stratagus has permanently halted. The Stratagus developers are now working on Bos Wars. Bos Wars uses its own modified version of the Stratagus engine."
:(

Bratag 2010-01-09 18:41

Re: maemo Games: Stratagus (Warcraft 2) on your N900
 
Lets get BOS working then :) it looks like a cross between starcraft and command and conquer tiberium wars

By the way. I wonder is the porter would be willing to help me with a fullscreen sizing issue I am having while porting/running xevil on the N900. Message me here if you are.

no, i mean the first one, there are two links. the illegal (i think) one if you click on "could" and the amazon one if you click on "find"...

Bos Wars is also dead, as far as i can tell. I was following the project since Freecraft, and it died a long, slow, painful death.

I gave up on Stratagus. Maybe later I try it again.

What was the problem. Once I figured out I needed to install wargus on windows and then extract the data from the CD using that It was fairly straightforward.

Soulfarmer 2010-01-10 04:08

Re: maemo Games: Stratagus (Warcraft 2) on your N900
 
Maybe I just had wrong version of the "cd", I might try again with different one. Btw, should I start stratagus from xterm or from the icon the deb installed?

do you have problems with extracting the files?
just install wargus, put your CD in, while installing wargus, then wargus will ask you to select your cd and will start to extract all files to C:\\Programs\wargus\. just copy the content of the data directory to your mmc1/games/stratagus.
should I add a HowTo of that to the first post?
