Tested all ok!

Hi!
I've ported a new game: ArxLibertatis 1.2.1

Here is a quick description:

Arx Libertatis is a cross-platform port of Arx Fatalis, a first-person role-playing game

Arx Libertatis is based on the publicly released Arx Fatalis source code
(https://web.archive.org/web/20180105233341/https://www.arkane-studios.com/uk/arx_downloads.php).
The source code is available under the GPLv3+ license with some additional terms - see the
COPYING and LICENSE files for details.

Data file, config and savegame locations
==========================

You will need to get either the full game or demo data of Arx Fatalis (https://arx.vg/data).

Where arx will look for data files and write config and save files depends on the operating
system and environment - the wiki has a page detailing the full data directory detection algorithm
(https://arx.vg/paths).

To print all directories searched by arx, run

arx --list-dirs

By default, user, config and data files will be loaded from and saved to standard system
locations depending on the OS:

AROS:
- user dir:
PROGDIR:data/
PROGDIR:
- config dir:
PROGDIR:
- data dir:
PROGDIR:data/

Arx will try to load data files from the "user dir" directory or the directory containing the game executable.

If you need to run the game using data from another path start it from shell as:


or


Run
====

Provided the data files are installed at the correct location (PROGDIR:data/), you can simply play the game using the installed icon or by running:



See the arx --help and doc/arx.txt for more details.


Data Files
=======

Copy the data (.pak files, misc and graph directories), from a fully patched Arx Fatalis 1.21 or 1.22 install, into PROGDIR:data/ directory to use them with arx.

Recommended Setup
==============

Arx for AROS is recommended on *Native AROS* with a supported 3D card.
Using Arx on *Hosted AROS* requires a very fast PC and HostGL enabled.

It has been tested on:

- Core2Quad Q9500
Geforce 9500GT
SATA SSD
Native AROS
Result: Perfect

- Ryzen 5 4600H
Geforce 1650M
SATA SSD
Hosted AROS under native Linux
Result: Good with very rare sound crackling

- Intel N100
Integrated Intel Graphic
Hosted AROS under WSL
Result: Barely playable with major sound crackling and buffer underruns

Enjoy!

Another thing, I have the Caesar 3 CD. I need to install it on Windows first because just copying the files doesn't work.

sorry, wargus gives me this error!

again works fine i have download contrib package and I installed the content library ecc...ecc....

I can confirm this issue as well, before putting the Geforce gfx card it was fine (I was running the integrated Intel HD), then now I have to launch the game twice, because the first time it quit itself after the first menu.

With AROS One 64-bit on VMware using a native driver, there are no issues—all four chapters: “Zombie Massacre,” “Gloom3,” “Gloom,” and “Gloom Deluxe” work well; no problems were detected.

ok right thank you

There are other bugs as well, I know the original author (Andiweli) has already fixed them although.

I tried ZGloom just to test it, but as soon as I choose Gloom Deluxe in the menu, the GUI closes

I have also uploaded updated versions for ScummVM and Augustus/Julius with:

ScummVM:
- Fixed GL switch to fullscreen graphic artifacts via new Mesa 20 mesa3dgl.library (included)
- Setting ENVARC:SDL2/GL with value of 1 will enable SDL2 accelerated rendering via OpenGL

Augustus/Julius:
Two new TOOLTYPES available:
- HW_CURSOR enable hardware cursor (disabled by default)
- GL will enable SDL2 accelerated rendering via OpenGL, ENVARC:SDL2/GL will be created if does not exist

Hi!
I'm back with:
Dethrace 0.10.1 for AROS!

What is Dethrace?
Dethrace is an open-source reimplementation of the Carmageddon game engine.

Project goals

• Faithfully reproduce the original gameplay from Carmageddon 1
• Provide documentation in the form of code and docs of the internal workings of the Carmageddon 1 engine
• Fix bugs in the original game logic
• Provide quality of life improvements (eg support for modern platforms, higher resolutions, higher framerates, increased limits for cars/tracks etc)

Usage Mode

You can use dethrace in four ways:
GUI Mode (recommended, made with Zune/MUI):
Start dethrace_gui and use it, this will create/modify dethrace.ini under
PROGDIR:, dethrace executable must be in PROGDIR:, if not using "Custom" it
will search for c1, c1demo, spdemo or spxmasdemo drawers from PROGDIR:.
INI Mode:
Modify ini and start dethrace icon, dethrace.ini must be in PROGDIR:.
Command line mode:
Read the docs and use the flags, better use a script and call it with
Execute specifying at least "stack 1000000" before launching dethrace.
Standalone:
Put dethrace where your game is and use dethrace icon instead of using
CARMA.EXE, if you want to change some options enable USE_TOOLTYPES and
set other TOOLTYPES.

Four default drawers are available and used by GUI:
c1 -> Carmageddon or Carmageddon + Splat Pack or Carmageddon High Octane or
Carmageddon Max Pack (at the time of writing, sold on GOG)
c1demo -> Carmageddon original demo (downloadable from network)
spdemo -> Splat Pack demo (default, a rare zombie demo is provided)
spxmasdemo -> Splat Pack xmas demo (downloadable from network)

To play with dethrace "the standard way" you ONLY need DATA directory
just put it in the correct drawer.

A rare splat pack demo with zombies is included!

Notes

• You can switch from/to fullscreen any time using ALT+ENTER
• Mixing TOOLTYPES and .ini file may cause options collision as .ini file take precedence in most common options.
• For some versions of the game (like the rare demo included) "boring mode" is enabled by default so enabling it will prevent game from starting.
• To have a quicker game start just disable cutscenes.
• For high-res mode (-hires), ensure DATA/64X48X8/ subdirectory exists.
• For 3DFX mode you need a game patched with 3DFX Patch. High Octane, C1 with Splat Pack or Max Pack have it by default.
• Do not use GL/3DFX mode with software rendering, it will be unplayable.
• The GUI launcher (dethrace_gui) provides a user-friendly interface for configuring common options and use dethrace.ini to read/write them.
• The preload audio flag/TOOLTYPE loads all smacker video audio into memory before playback, avoiding audio starvation during cutscenes. This is recommended on AROS where video decoding is slower due to slow I/O.
• On most recent non "GOG" versions (eg. High Octane, C1 + Splat Pack) you can convert CD tracks to OGG and create a MUSIC drawer alongside DATA, dethrace will use these files to play music tracks.
• There is a disabled TOOLTYPE called HW_ACCEL was used for testing it can be safely deleted

File has been uploaded to archives!

Balatro, the smash-hit rogue-like poker game, is now available for AROS 64-bit

I checked the Windows versions to make sure this wasn't just an AROS issue. Sure enough, the mini-games don't work anywhere.

They are quite easy to find, each world has one and they are clones of Space Invaders and Defender.

I found the way to get in touch with him, via his Github page.

UPDATE: He quickly replied and told me the bug exists since Swizpig's code...

I don't have any contact to Andiweli. And how do I get to those mini-games? I've never played Gloom much. I didn't even know something like that was in there

Hello,
Is there a way to contact the author (Andiweli)? Basically the sub-games that occasionally appear don't work, if I touch their screens I have a "teleport" effect and nothing else happens. I think it's a bug that belongs to the original code made by that developer.

The age-old battle between the undead and evergreen plants in Plants vs. Zombies has made its way to the AROS platform!

It's here: https://github.com/deadwood2/contrib/tree/master/SDL

The ideal is to have the version 2.0.22 or later. The current AROS 32-bit seems to be 2.0.16. Where's this contrib repository?
