Hi folks, as there seems to be some new interest in working on Dune Legacy I would like to help with some background information on the sound: Back when I started looking into Dune Legacy it was coupled with a lot of sounds in form of wav files. I do not have any information about the source of these files but it looked like they were recordings from the original files. To avoid legal troubles I replaced those one after another by reading those sounds directly from the Dune II data files. Sound effects...

Set SDL_HINT_MOUSE_FOCUS_CLICKTHROUGH to allow direct interaction with a non-focussed window
-
Place question box buttons like in the original game: 'Yes' is on the left, 'No' is on the right

-
Swap button order for mentat screens to be the same as in the original game
-
Fix bug where parts of the ingame mentat help was drawn outside the mentat help window
-
Fremen and Mercenaries had the same colors in the original game albeit mercenaries were never used; but they can be seen in SuperDune. Maybe the color could be changed to be easier to distinguish. IMHO, making all friends blue/yellow and all enemies red would completely change the feeling of the game. Is it really necessary to make the game that easy?
-
Mouse cursor should change to reflect what the right click will do
-
That's a good idea; please go ahead. Maybe slightly changing the cursor color would be enough to give a visual feedback that the unit is not moving but attacking.

As you already mentioned, this flocking algorithm you're talking about is usually implemented in games where units can move freely. What I thought about is setting a different target tile for each unit such that their relative position remains the same. Problem with that solution is that units cannot be ordered to meet at a certain point: Think about selecting units in the field and a new unit at the base; when you order them to move to one tile the unit from the base will keep its relative position....
-
I also thought about that in the past but always came to the conclusion that it is not worth the effort: For the end-user it is only problematic when upgrading to a new Dune Legacy version. But with the current rate of new versions this seldomly happens. The campaign also takes only a few hours. Usually the changes to the save game format happen when a new member is added to one of the unit or structure classes. But handling the absense of such a field in an old save game might be non-trivial and...

This "bug" was also present in the original game. A common strategy in the original game was to first build as many special units (devastators or sonic tanks) until the unit limit was reached. Only then the starport was used to order as many units as possible. That way the unit cap could be circumvented. Of course we could add an option to Dune Legacy to also consider the unit limit at the starport. This option should be optional as it certainly changes the gameplay.
-
Rename TeamBehavior to AITeamBehavior and TeamType to AITeamType
-
Load AI teams with scenario and store them per house
-
Rename teams to AITeams to make it more obvious that they have nothing in common with the team id that is used for specifying the alliances between houses
-
Contact with the enemy is mutual; this is needed to (reliably) establish the first contact via reinforcements; reinforcements do not count as scenario units
-
Track tile visibility status for each house separately; provide and use methods to query visibility status by team
-
Rename getTeam() to getTeamID()
-
Only direct contact with enemy triggers CampaignAI to become active; fix sandworm in area guard mode
-
Fix bug introduced with 57ca7b: Thick spice tiles were not downgraded to normal spice tiles when next to sand tiles
-
Radar shows number of visible enemy units and visible friendly units
-
CampaignAI: Wait for the human player to find the AI player before becoming active
-
Bugfix: Reinforcements were not delivered when they were of type 'Troopers' or 'Infantry'
-
CampaignAI is now building units and attacking the player similar to the original game
-
As Dune 2 is not sold anymore (albeit you can sometimes find it on ebay) it is commonly considered abandonware. For legal reasons we do not provide any links to the Dune 2 data files but you can find a list of needed files in the manual.

-
convertSurfaceToTexture now only takes a non-owning pointer
-
Hi, this seems to be a problem of the used fmt library (see https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/423 ). I just updated to fmt version 3.0.2 which should solve this problem thus the next Dune Legacy version should not run into this issue.
