Warzone 2100 Forums

I've already done most of the translation. You should download the latest trunk

Also a LOT of strings have changed so it's no use continuing working on your old .po files.

I don't want to risk going off-topic but I feel you should know I (and a lot of other people) have only discovered Warzone2100 due to it being one of the best games open-source games currently available for linux. It's a huge source of free advertising in that regard

It's hard to find military GPL sounds. I have no idea what you would actually hear when a mortar flies by but the current one sounds so fake it's annoying :p

Here's a sample of my new Howitzer flyby. It's rather bothersome to redo some sounds as sometimes they have nothing to do with reality. For instance, the dual mg sounds like bursts but it's just 2 bullets firing at the same time in-game. What should I do about it? :| I'm basically editing GPL sounds...

Anyone interested in some? I've found a really NICE open-source alternative for the howitzer fly-by sound. In case anyone is interested I'll start finding alternatives for most sounds I've found lacking.

The only modern weapons that use twin and quad turrets are ballistic AA guns and battleships. The reason for this is that these vehicles either have to engage really large targets (other battleships, land bombardment) or put a lot of bullets ASAP into a small really fast target (bullet dispersal is...

I was in the same boat you were once

Hope that helps

well i played this game when the old multiple turret solution was in place, which was latter removed... i thought this was not actually bad, but it only had the problem that most of the time a turret will turn so much that it will render inside of the body of the other turret, so why not have turre...

Huey's getting caught in RPG-fire in the Vietnam-era. That was a clear example. Some German 88 mm guns were dual purpose. They were excellent anti-tank weapons and excellent FLAK units. Ask Rommel. But those 88'guns shot plains down 4-5 km high, which in the warzone-game is quiet unfeasable. Later ...

Oh, sorry. Having never used it for my projects I had no idea how it worked for you guys on the other side

No no no, not mini-pods. Mgs, lancers and all other rapid rof/seeking weapons should have a limited ability to engage vtols. Key work being LIMITED, we don't want to make AA and VTOLs completely useless. Edit: Also, I've never heard of unguided rockets being used to shoot down aircraft. Not even rel...

On suse, I found both openal and openal-soft via the package manager. You will need to install both the openal and the openal-dev (or -devel) package. The development part contains the headers you will need to compile WZ. For just running the game, you only need the openal package which contains th...

Can we have dynamically loaded playlists? I might code it myself if anyone wants it :) What I mean is, just place music in a Music folder and it gets autoloaded and played like the rest of the tracks. I think having music mods is a bit too complicated for such a trivial change. Another idea (since I...

Can someone do me a favor and try to find out where ALchar is defined? I can't bloody find it

EDIT: HOLY CRAP I DID IT, I had to manualy install the latest OpenAl soft unfortunately.

Do you happen to have a guide to try out the original OpenAL? I couldn't figure it out by myself...

Curiously I thought of doing that a while ago, had some problems so I completely removed it and now I can't compile warzone because pDeviceNames isn't declared.
