Stratagus port for AmigaOS 4
----------------------------

Stratagus is an open source game engine for real-time strategy games. There
are many projects, like Invasion - Battle of Survival and Astroseries, which
use Stratagus. Also WarCraft 2 can be played through Wargus mod.

This archive includes Invasion - Battle of Survival game for Stratagus and
Wargus (plus support tool (wartool) to extract COPYRIGHTED WarCraft 2 data
from ORIGINAL WarCraft 2 CD-ROM).

When depacking Stratagus.lha, use parameter -a to preserve file attributes.
Otherwise you may need to fix the them manually.

To play Invasion, click it's icon.

To play Wargus, click Prepare_WarCraft2_Data first, and if everything seems to
be going fine, click Wargus.

( To play Astroseries, you have to download its data from the web site. Be
warned, because here it doesn't
work properly if data/sound directory isn't renamed/removed (it seems to load
forever and it creates some
huge sound data file). )

Stratagus has a stack cookie set to 500K, so there may be no need to raise stack
manually.

This was another quickly tested configure-make-SDL port so there may be some
problems (?)
but so far everything looks just fine. Bug reports can be sent to
jniemima()mail.student.oulu.fi.
(It's pretty normal to get errors about non-existing files so if the game works
ok,
no need to report them, thanks.)

Known Problems: network support is untested. Also music module support wasn't
compiled into
Stratagus (maybe for next version :).

Icons
-----

ToAks contributed some PNG icons (and helped with testing, too) and I converted
them with IconEdit.
PNG icons should also be included.
