FreeCNC - an open source Command & Conquer engine
-------------------------------------------------

First of all: please read all documentation of FreeCNC to help you install files
properly.
This port is tested only with Command & Conquer demo, freely available from:

ftp://ftp.westwood.com/pub/cc1/previews/demo/cc1demo1.zip

Also some music and video clips are available for that demo:

ftp://ftp.westwood.com/pub/cc1/previews/demo/cc1demo2.zip

More information about the project: http://freecnc-sf.holarse.net/


Installation
------------

The *.MIX files should go into FreeCNC/data/mix/ directory.


Usage
-----

FreeCNC has the following commandline options: (-help)

Usage: freecnc [OPTIONS]
  -map mapname       - Name of mission to load
  -w width           - Width of screen
  -h height          - Height of screen
  -bpp bpp           - Video Depth
  -fullscreen        - Use fullscreen mode
  -window            - Use windowed mode
  -nosound           - Play without sound
  -playvqa vqaname   - Plays a VQA
  -grab              - Grabs mouse input (locks mouse inside freecnc window)

It seems to be so that player can only play 1 map at time, so you have to use
-map
parameter to try other maps. Maps available in demo are (at least):

SCG01EA, SCG03EA, SCG05EA, SCG06EA, SCG10EA


Known problems
--------------

Sometimes crashes on exit. Red Alert demo doesn't seem to work. It complains
about missing files :(


Thanks
------

Again, my personal testing slave ToAks was heavily whipped. ToAks can be blamed
also for icons
and starting scripts.

"libdl" was kindly provided by Hans-Jörg Frieden.
