- Added wartool and startool command line for data extraction inside OpenPandora.

Instalation:

- Execute launcher to make appdata stratagus folder (home, .stratagus)

/media/YourSD/pandora/appdata/stratagus/home/stargus

I need to try this out ASAP.. Great job porting this, I had the hardest time getting this to compile with my crosscompiler setup and eventually gave up on it..

Anyone has any idea where to get an official version of Warcraft II for cheap ? 

 

[TrashyMG]

Not sure cheaply.. but FYI I believe only the DOS version of Warcraft II can be used with Stratagus... The battle.net version I don't believe works with the data extraction utility which properly formats the data files for use with Stratagus.

Is there any online store selling the DOS version then ?

Ohh ... time to dig out my Starcraft CD.

Works with Warcraft II like a charm. Very nice!

Is it practical to use with the nubs? Or better with stylus I guess?

I actually found it easier to use the nubs and keyboard shortcuts than the touchscreen. Although both seem to function well.

 

[ekianjo]

Does starcraft work with this by the way ?

 

[canseco]

I can confirm it needs DOS version for both games.

Playing with touchscreen is hard, but i use it sometimes for quick minimap look.

Stargus is still a bit buggy, maybe they will solve it in next version.

Great achievement, congrats

Initial release for Dragonbox Competition 2012/2013.

Execute launcher to make appdata stratagus folder.

Copy folder data extracted from wargus/stargus on your PC (Linux, Mac, Windows, N900) to appdata folder.

Can you clarify the installation instructions a bit more?

1. First install stratagus on PC?

2. Install wargus

3. put warcraft 2 datafiles on wargus folder?

4. copy the whole wargus folder to Pandora .stratagus folder?

By the way does the non-CD version of Warcraft 2 work with wargus?

There was a DOS version of Starcraft?

As far as I know, there where only versions for Windows and MacOS

official disclaimer on the Wargus site..

Wargus is not an official Blizzard product, its a Warcraft2 modification, by Warcraft2 fans for Warcraft2 fans. You need a copy of the original Warcraft2 DOS version to make use of Wargus, it will not work with the Battle.net Edition. Warcraft is a registered trademark of Blizzard Entertainment

 

[canseco]

My mistake about Starcraft version needed.

I will add wartool and startool on PND, in case anyone have external cdrom or purchased digital download.

 

[TrashyMG]

If I want to have both Stargus and Wargus installed at once how is this done? I can dump one or the other in the stratagus appdata folder but don't want to have to move around folder each time.

 

[canseco]

Stratagus appdata should be like this:

/media/YourSD/pandora/appdata/stratagus/home/.stratagus

/media/YourSD/pandora/appdata/stratagus/home/wargus

/media/YourSD/pandora/appdata/stratagus/home/stargus

Launcher will pick correct folder and launch engine.

 

[TrashyMG]

Thanks that did the trick, although it didn't generate the home/wargus or home/stargus folders automagically. While just dumping one of the games data files in the appdata/stratagus folder works.. it may be worth explaining it needs to be placed in the home directories to have both working.
