Wargus is data game set for the Stratagus engine. It can be used to play Warcraft II from Blizzard Entertainment, but is needed original Warcraft II DOS CD.

Stratagus is a free cross-platform real-time strategy gaming engine. It includes support for playing over Internet/LAN, or playing vs. computer opponents. The engine is configurable and can be used to create games with a wide-range of features specific to your needs.

Now Stratagus and Wargus are ported and work on Nokia N900 too.

I continue develop desktop version for Windows, Linux and mobile version for N900 together on one place. All projects are hosted on Launchpad (where are desktop download files):

https://launchpad.net/stratagus
https://launchpad.net/wargus

Maemo version for N900 is in Extras-Devel and Extras-testing repository.

Install instructions:

1. Copy all files and directories from original Warcraft II DOS CD to phone directory /home/user/MyDocs/WAR2 (Connect phone to computer in mass storage mode and copy files to WAR2 directory). Check if file /home/user/MyDocs/WAR2/DATA/rezdat.war exist.
Note: Battle.net edition does not work

*. Optional: Rip audio CD tracks from CD to folder WAR2/music in ogg/vorbis format. Note: No wav or mp3 is supported, only ogg. This enable better support of music themes is game. (Default is MIDI only)

2. Install Wargus from Hildon Application Manager or via apt-get

3. During Wargus installation, data files from /home/user/MyDocs/WAR2 will be automatically extracted. Note that this process may take 45 minutes (or more) and installer may not responding. DO NOT CLOSE INSTALL DIALOG!

4. After installation, Wargus can be run from Menu.

For reporting bugs, sending patches and answer tracker use ONLY launchpad project sites.

Updates in 2.2.5.5-1maemo4~fremantle:

Data files will be now extracted to /home/user/MyDocs/stratagus/wargus so wargus will not spend space on /opt. To proper clean wargus files from /opt is needed to run these commands (as root)
Code:
dpkg -P wargus
rm -rf /opt/stratagus/share/wargus
rm -rf /home/user/.stratagus-2.2/wc2
rm -rf /home/user/MyDocs/stratagus/wargus
and then install wargus again.
