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.
