Dune 2000 was my one of my favourite games growing. Playing this is close enough that it brings back memories..

I have installed the newest PND and the PND downloaded the game files for me. But now i get only a black screen for a second and after that the game closes. Is there any way to see a log of the game to figure out what's wrong?

Thank you i just wondered where the log files are and it is so simple  seems that i have some trouble with midi ("No valid MIDI output ports"). Now i can try to fix this

You should probably take a look at dunedynasty.cfg and try just default Adlib for a start. Other mode are quite CPU intensive...

I have adlib set to default in the config and still no luck: "default=dune2_adlib"

But there is an other error: "Unable to open file 'REGIONH.INI'."

Maybe because of the "fixed" scenario files the PND downloaded? I will copy the original files and try it out.

EDIT: The original file fixed it. Thanks again for your help.

New build on the repo. I refreshed everything (sources and libs), used Allegro 5.2, and fixed the hardware cursor that was still visible even when disabled.

Build 08
-----------

• Latest sources, fresh build
• Updates libs (allegro 5.2)
• Mouse cursor should be fine now (don't use hardware cursor)

Finally got round to giving this a quick spin and played a tutorial level. Working so far on my 1GHz machine; thanks for the update!

This doesn't run for me, installed from scratch on a Rebirth.

I'm not sure if it's something related to the graphic setting, but I see this in the config file:

[graphics]
driver=opengl

EDIT: I found an old PND from 2013 in an SD, and it works without issues... maybe something was added in the mean time ?

EDIT: Seems like the issue happens if the updated scenario.pak is installed, as it was found before also from another user

 

[ptitSeb]

Ah, the "fixed" scenario is not working? Not sure how to fix that.

 

[PowerGod]

Y U NO FIX THE FIXED SCENARIO ?!

I had a read to their forum and no one seems to have issues with that pack... maybe the link in the downloader script should be updated ?!

I'll do some research, and report what I found.

 

[levi]

Whatever it is doesn't seem to be logging an error. You might still get a hint by the way the ELGport apparently sets itself up and then closes down without logging anything; that should at least narrow down the problem. Stick a breakpoint at the logging of 'Attaching glextension...' and step through what happens between that and the logging of 'Done with extensions', unless I'm misreading the log and those particular lines are meant to be adjacent in a successful run.

@PowerGod Maybe since you've already got an older working version, you can get the log out of that, and see if those lines are normally adjacent or not, and what the overall differences in a log where you just start the game and immediately quit are.

 

[ptitSeb]

I probably need to rebuild first... that's some old stuff here, that I haven't refreshed for a long time!
