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.

If you want to reinstall Wargus, only uninstall it from Hildon Application Manager and install again. Data in MyDocs/WAR2 is not changed, so you do not recopy it.

See launchpad answer for supported CD versions: https://answers.launchpad.net/wargus/+faq/1270

Its not working for me. During installation it didn't seem to take the extra time to extract the files. My copy of WC2 is MS-DOS/Macintosh and is not battlenet.

I ran it from the command line to see what it said:
[string "/usr/share/games/stratagus/wargus/scripts/s..."]:82: attempt to call global 'setFullGameName' (a nil value)

Is there a command line to extract the data? I previously had wargus working without the campaign and was hoping to get the missions by reinstalling with the file extraction happening locally.

something wrong with the build.sh in wargus, it is looking for folder /cdrom/ instead of WAR2

It sounds like a bug, please report it on https://bugs.launchpad.net/wargus and include output from warextract.

This wargus error may show, when you have old version of stratagus. Make sure, that you have updated all packages throw Hildon Application Manager (or apt-get).

If this error is still (after update), please report bug on launchpad, include full output from console and your version of stratagus and wargus.

Do not run build.sh directly on Debian based system (when installing from deb package). On Debian/Ubuntu call debconf (dpkg-reconfigure wargus), on Maemo run /usr/games/warextract.

warextract start build.sh with correct params (and correct directory). build.sh is for people, who install wargus from source (not using prebuilded packages).

On linux you can use cdparanoia or cdda2wav for ripping audio tracks to wav and then use oggenc or ffmepg2theora (prefered) to convert ripped wav files to ogg... Wait, later I write simple how to extract data on Windows or Linux maschine (with ripping cd tracks)..
