Did I get your attention?
 There are opensource movements to get a WarCraft II clone. (I wasn't sure which forum to put this in)
This thread is for discussing that. It is a break-off from the http://www.zaurususergroup.com/index.php?n...er=asc&start=15 thread. Here's the last comment I made in that thread. Anyone want to try recompiling FreeCraft (now known as Stratagus) for the Zaurus? http://pingus.seul.org/~grumbel/tmp/wargus/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/stratagus/ http://www.happypenguin.org/show?FreeCraft http://www.bebits.com/app/2994 http://packages.debian.org/unstable/games/freecraft <-- Already compiled for ARM? http://stratagus.sourceforge.net/screenshots.shtml etc.. Also: http://sourceforge.net/search/ (search for "stratagus") This is the open-source version of "War Craft II". Anyone else drooling over the idea of having War Craft II (rated the best computer games for a number of years) on their Zaurus? |

I suspect the lua driver I found on the web (see above) works. I no longer get any lua error messages. I suspect that the one compiled above has a problem with it (because of the socket errors).
I think that the Windows WarGus makes a "data" directory, whereas the other os makes a "data.wc2" directory. That would explain my confusion. I suspect I have the data files I need. I think the problem is the screen resolution. When I try running it I keep getting 1 or 2 error messages that say: CODE Display size = 480x640
If you type CODE ./stratagus -h
...you get the help screen. V=1 is 640x480, and 2,3,4, and 5 go up from there. I think that WarGus thinks that my screen is 480x640, even though I'm running terminal in landscape mode, and it says it can't run it. When I switch to 480x640 mode, it doesn't say the display error message, but it gives other error messages. Why does stratagus think I'm in 480x640 mode when I'm actually in 640x480 mode? Is it getting that reading incorrectly from somewhere? I suspect that if I can change it, it should work. What do you think? |
