Request: Star Control 2 Dingux port

Postby Fennster on Wed Jul 29, 2009 3:29 am

Does anyone here have the know-how and time to port this awesome game? Please say yes!

For the uninitiated, it's a blend of RPG, arcade shooter, and adventure (read: space exploration). Tons of fun. Plus, I do believe it's open-source.

Here's the current game website: http://sc2.sourceforge.net/

Here's the wikipedia entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Control_II

Rock on!

I've got a version of it working on the Dingoo, just testing it right now (watching the game intro and listening to the music). Music is skipping occasionally, but it's listenable.

Okay, controlling the little ship thing towards a planet. (You'll have to forgive me, never played this before. :))
Entering planetary orbit on mars... woah, nifty animation.

I'll keep testing for a little bit, but it looks promising.

Collecting minerals from the surface...

Currently the controls seem to be as follows:
X - Enter menu
START - activate menu item
SELECT - take off from planet

Anyone more familiar with the game want to suggest a better config?

Woah, hyperspace is awesome :D
Okay, just configured it so L trigger brings up the quit menu.

Alrighty then, first release here (binaries, source and data included, 12.5MB):
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?u1dnjzzly4d

If you just want the source (2.2MB) it's here:
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?mtrwmiknmon

I've tested the main game, saving/loading, supermelee. No problems so far, but I can't really test it all myself. If people who really know this game could report bugs that'd be helpful.

I haven't tried the OGG music or voice files, if you want to download and test them just put it in the local/uqm/content/packages folder.

This is great, I've been meaning to play this for ages and now it has the perfect home!

To answer your question on the music - I downloaded the 3DO music package and unfortunately the music plays for a second then pauses for a second ad infinatum.

Voices work fine though.

Alrighty then, thanks. Probably decoding the OGG music files and doing everything else is a bit much for it, hehe. :)
