OpenDUNE - Dune II remake
 
My port of OpenDUNE is ready. :-)

It installs the binaries and downloads required data to MyDocs/Games/DUNE2.

You may get it from http://github.com/smokku/opendune/downloads or extras http://maemo.org/packages/view/opendune/

It's the first RTS game, or very nearly. The granddaddy of them all. The reason for your favorite company to exist. :D

I'm guessing it was probably out before you were born, too.

The original game was called Dune 2 and later updated and called Dune 2000.

It's there now and installable.

Re: OpenDUNE - Dune II remake
 
I've uploaded many packages to extras and it had always taken only few minutes to put packages in repository.
I guess somebody pushed it manually after I updated the bugreport. Thanks.

TY TY TY TY. One of my very favourite games.

Re: OpenDUNE - Dune II remake
 
I might've encountered a problem with getting past the high-score screen - the enter key doesn't seem to send the correct key to accept, so you can't move on. This might be due to some meddling I've done, so if someone else could confirm.

Nice one smoku!

How does it perform, in your opinion?
Possible preview, say youtube or some screenshots?

It performs fine, but pauses for a moment every some time. Very annoying :(
And eats a lot of CPU.

Screenshots in the first post.

With great anticipation I opened my App Manager and searched for both "Dune" and "OpenDune" ... but no dice.
Aaaawwwwww.... where is it??? I want! :(

Taken from the OpenDune site:

Quote:

NOTE: in order to play this you will require all the data files of the 1.07 EU release to be present in the /data folder; without this the game will not work.

Also, the first time your start the game, you are forced through the whole intro (your mouse and keyboard won’t work). This is only the first time, and exactly as it was in the original Dune II.
Anyhow, thanks for porting one of my childhood faves onto the N900... Now I have Descent AND Dune II, HURRAH!

Did you enable Etras-testing?

Yes. I got all the usual repositories enabled.
When I try to get it from Maemo.org using the web browser and fetch the .deb file there, I get an error saying the following 2 packages are missing:
- wget
- bzip2

I assume those two packages/tools are used to fetch and unzip the Dune game data that is required to play the game.
Perhaps it's a good idea to add them to the package for those who apparently don't have these packages installed? :)

Awsome, i spend so many hours playing it on my Amiga 500:)

I've run into exactly the same problem - This essentially indicates it's not possible to play more than the first level, as you'll always be prompted for a highscore regardless of how low you get, and cant pass the screen asking for your name.
Ace job with the port though and brings back a whole ton of very fond memories, very much hoping this hits a stable state.

These packages are in extras-devel and should be promoted to extras-testing together with the main package.

This information is outdated.
Besides, if you would read the first post, you would know that the package fetches and installs required data.

haj 2010-06-01 18:46

Re: OpenDUNE - Dune II remake
 
I have the enterkey on highscore-problem as well... Perhaps it's because I used the N900 for other stuff while playing the first level?

Trestry 2010-06-01 18:49

Re: OpenDUNE - Dune II remake
 
Awesome! Now I can play one of my favourite games on my N900.

Thanks a lot!

smoku, Although I'm married I sincerely consider bigamy in order to marry you :)
Thanks a bunch, man - you rock!!!

My wife advises I should pass on the proposition. :D

Well she apparently doesn't have a clue - I promise to play ALL the games you port, how can she counter-offer THAT?! ;)
Uh well, I tried... Women, they always win...

haj 2010-06-01 19:49

Re: OpenDUNE - Dune II remake
 
Or at least the first level? Anyone got past the highscore screen after level one?

edit; I'm thinking, could it be because the return-key on the N900 maps to KP_Enter and not Return?

CutterSlade 2010-06-01 20:08

Re: OpenDUNE - Dune II remake
 
Can confirm the ENTER Bug in scoreboard. Cool game though very relaxed and so simple interface. Thanks for the port!

Yes, this is exactly the reason. I could get past this screen by using x2x and pressing <ENTER> with my laptop's keyboard. That was a lame workaround, but at least it confirmed your suspicion! :p

EDIT: Just after getting past that screen, there was that annoying questionnaire about units and buildings. I found out that the answers could be found here but it would be awkward to have to open the browser during the game to get these answers.

Re: OpenDUNE - Dune II remake
 
Haven't had time to play yet so I'm just speculating: I browsed the source and it seems that tab sends some sort of break in editbox.c, so ctrl-i could get you away from an editbox. Worth a shot. :)

We need a pack of beer and a less public place to discuss that. :p

CutterSlade 2010-06-01 21:30

Re: OpenDUNE - Dune II remake
 
Nope. Tried every possible combination of Strg, blue arrow and shift. Including Strg aka ctrl + i.

smoku 2010-06-01 21:39

Re: OpenDUNE - Dune II remake
 
Could you try http://github.com/downloads/smokku/opendune/opendune.gz - it should fix the Return issue.
