Welcome to MorphOS-Storage, a webserver dedicated to MorphOS users. ©2016-2024 Meta-MorphOS.org
Description: 
Developer/Porter:bigfoot
Readme:
This is version 1.1 of a port of Vanilla Conquer/Vanilla TD to MorphOS.

Please excuse the funny wording the in the following paragraph, but the source
code license - which you can read an exerpt from at the end of this file -
requires some linguistic gymnastics.

This archive contains the "Vanilla TD" part of the Vanilla Conquer project
which, together with the data files from Command & Conquer, allows you to play
a game that's very similar to Command & Conquer, but isn't Command & Conquer.

*** Installing ***

Copy the directory you're reading this ReadMe from to where you want the game
installed, then run the included "Install Game Data" program.

The "Install Game Data" program allows you to install the Command & Conquer
data files either from original CDs or via download from the internet. If you
choose to download the data files from the internet, please have some patience
as it needs to download a relatively large amount of data, a bit over 1GB. The
installer can resume downloads if you wish to stop the download and resume it
at a later point.

When downloading the data files from the internet, the installer downloads
GDI95.iso (md5sum: 1cb7c6290718c5e729ae1a4a146aa793) and NOD95.iso
(md5sum: 1dfb2ccae81117b053b60d70e8381250). If for some reason the installer
can't download these files, and you have obtained them manually, you can place
these files in the installertemp directory and start the installer. After
verifying the integrity of the manually downloaded files, it will continue with
the installation.

Please note that the game data installer installs the data files from the later
"Command and Conquer: Gold" version of the game, running at a higher resolution
and with some minor changes to graphics compared to the original DOS release of
the game.

*** Updating from a previous version ***

Like with installing, copy the directory you're reading this ReadMe from to
where you already have Vanilla TD installed and overwrite existing flies. Your
savegames and settings will be preserved.

*** Running the game ***

Simply open the "Vanilla TD" program that's included in this archive. By
default, the first time you launch the game, it'll directly start the campaign
missions after asking you to choose a side. If you wish to play a skirmish,
just leave the mission and you'll return to the main menu.

There are two graphics backends in the MorphOS port of Vanilla Conquer, one
using TinyGL for adjusting the rendered image, and one using plain, old,
boring 2D rendering for displaying the game. The TinyGL version is used when
available, and the 2D one is used as a fallback.

The original game ran at a resolution of 640x400 on a 4:3 display and thus did
not have square pixels. The TinyGL renderer will open a screen that matches
your Ambient screen in resolution and use the GPU to stretch the image to
fullscreen, while preserving the aspect ratio of the original game, giving you
an experience that is as close to the original as possible. The fallback
renderer has no stretching capability, so to play in fullscreen with a proper
aspect ratio, you need to create a 640x400 8bpp display mode in MorphOS, and
either use a 4:3 monitor or configure your monitor to stretch the image to
4:3, if it has that option.

The MorphOS port has a few additions that the original version of Vanilla
Conquer does not have. When you're in a game, in the options menu, under visual
settings, you can change the game to run in windowed mode, and if using the
TinyGL renderer, you can switch between using a 15bpp screen or a 24bpp
screen/texture. The 15bpp mode might sacrifice some palette resolution in some
cases, but runs a lot faster than the 24bpp mode.

*** Source code ***

The source code used to build this release of Vanilla Conquer is included in
this archive, in a file called Source.tar.xz. This release is based on the
upstream Git commit 83c152c43497223da3adad2e52e2221efd9087c4.

The current development version of Vanilla Conquer for MorphOS is hosted at
https://github.com/isojalka/Vanilla-Conquer

The upstream version of Vanilla Conquer is hosted at

*** Building the source code ***

Extract the Vanilla Conquer source code archive, change the current directory
to the extracted Vanilla-Conquer directory and run the following commands:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo
make VanillaTD
