Release Fheroes2

[Pickle]

Its a HOMM2 engine. Ive actually never played this game before. I took a look and its straight forward to port. Runs fine on the pandora. I did not include network support. I tried to play the game, but I have no clue how to, oh well.
(FYI this probably could work on the gp2x since SDL can scale down higher resolution graphics, although it would might be tough to play without a keyboard. F200 might be better with the touchscreen)

The screen grab looks cool and nostalgic, but I can't get it to run in XP or Vista (to give it a game play test run). Did it work for you?

Edit: Duh. Didn't read the readme. I don't have the pre-requisites.

Nice. I was a big fan of HOMM2 and HOMM3 back in the day. 2 is probably my favorite in the series though.

Hey Pickle, actual engine is 98% playable. I've completed yesterdays evening 3 maps without bigger problems. I found few bugs in counting enemy units , but only that. There are some missing options in options menu , but its not affecting on gameplay...

Hail to Heroes Of Might And Magic 2 , yeah.

BTW. Im sure some people will buy the pandora to play this game. This one [ homm2 ] is on my list "Greatest Games of all time"

Some good info about: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heroes_of_Might_and_Magic_II

Anyway, looks pretty good and definitely an engine fit for the Pandora.

Because releasing the binary of Homm2 port [ for Pandora ] is a matter of time for Pickle

BTW. Pickle, can You put some YT video from fheores2 on Panda ?

I dont mind making a video, although I might need to play around a bit so I figure how to play this game

Look really great :blink:

I remember playing an old Heroes of Might and Magic... that was years ago. I didn't know there was a open-source clone... looks like another must-have for the pandora !

 

[giovanni]

Looking great... Another game in the list!

You have no idea just how happy this makes me

HOMM is a classic series, and HOMM2 is arguably the jewel in the crown (closely followed by HOMM3 - the later released in the series are pretty poor imo). I was considering running it in Dosbox, but a true port of an open-source interpreter is much cleaner and faster!

Looking forward to getting my pandora more and more!

not something for me. i like RTS games, not TBS.

 

[GuchaRU]

i like both RTS and TBS and very glad that there'll be HOMM2 working on pandora.

 

[LastPucho]

Hey, great job Picke! It's looking awesome already! Maybe that video deserves a post in the unofficial English blog? I think many people will be glad to watch that classic game running on the Pandora.

The official blog credits cpasjuste for this (and I repeated it on the community blog). Is this correct or should I be crediting Pickle?

I was also wondering about that.

Its Pickle job. Few days ago i asked Pickle in PM about porting FHeroes2 on Pandora, and He said , he will try. After few hours he ported it and PM me back, with the information he just modified MAKE file, because game was wery well coded..
