+ | ====== UFO2000 ====== | ||
+ | {{ : | ||
+ | Some of you probably know the old X-COM - Enemy unknown or UFO defense, or its successor, [[Terror from the Deep]] or maybe even the remake [[OpenXcom]]. Probably one of the hottest developments is UFO2000. I think anyone who has been playing UFO for a while may have been annoyed that they could never play the game in multiplayer. At least as far as the battelscape is concerned, a bunch of resourceful programmers went to work and wrote a one-on-one battlescape for network or [[hotseat]] games against each other. The game itself is open source, but the graphics can be taken directly from the original game or its demo (if you already have them, they' | ||

+ | |||
+ | The level of play is of course much higher than playing against the AI. On the Mobile Infanterie there is also a UFO2000 dedicated server. The project website is [[http:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | The whole thing can of course be played against each other over the internet (but then it needs a dedicated server, but normally the official server '' | ||
+ | |||
+ | So no more excuses for you not knowing how to play it! Another hint for online play: It happens often that nobody is currently on the server. Then don't just run away again, but wait at least a few minutes. I recommend about 30 minutes. Otherwise everyone just looks in for a moment and disappears immediately. You can also switch the game to window mode or full screen mode with F10, so that you're not blocked all the time, but can do something else at the same time. | ||
+ | ===== Installation ===== | ||
+ | ==== Windows ==== | ||
+ | The Windows Installer is available at [[http:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | I've recorded here in [[https:// | ||
+ | ==== Linux ==== | ||
+ | Unlike Windows, there is currently no installer or package available for Linux. The game must be compiled from the source files themselves. However, this is only slightly more complex than the Windows installation. Using the example of Ubuntu 14.04 x64 briefly described: | ||
+ | === Required Libraries and Programs === | ||
+ | To be able to compile UFO2000 at all, you need one program and various libraries. Before running the following installations on the console, you should execute the following two commands in this order: | ||
+ | - '' | ||
+ | - '' | ||
+ | This keeps the list of packages up-to-date, as well as the installed packages. It is also a good idea to have original X-COM at hand so that you can copy it to the '' | ||
+ | |||
+ | '' | ||
+ | |||
+ | To compile the game yourself, the following libraries are required: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * '' | ||
+ | * '' | ||
+ | * '' | ||
+ | * '' | ||
+ | * '' | ||
+ | * '' | ||
+ | * '' | ||
+ | * '' | ||
+ | |||
+ | All this can be installed in one step: | ||
+ | |||
+ | '' | ||
+ | |||
+ | The first two libraries are not necessary for playing, the rest are. All libs are used for compiling. For the dedicated server are needed: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * '' | ||
+ | * '' | ||
+ | * '' | ||
+ | * '' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Here, too, the whole thing can be dealt with briefly and concisely at once: | ||
+ | |||
+ | '' | ||
+ | |||
+ | //For the server alone// (e.g. to run it on a root server) you need //only// the last two libraries, for compiling all of them. | ||
+ | === Compiling Server and Game === | ||
+ | First you have to download the sources from the SVN repository of UFO 2000 and change to the source directory: | ||
+ | |||
+ | - '' | ||
+ | - '' | ||
+ | (The folder name doesn' | ||
+ | == Compiling the Game == | ||
+ | From here you can execute the different compilation commands. The game UFO2000 can be compiled in two different ways, either with OGG music support, or without. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * '' | ||
+ | * '' | ||
+ | Afterwards you should copy the original UFO or TFTD files into the corresponding folder '' | ||
+ | == Compiling the Server == | ||
+ | Here the matter is relatively trivial: | ||
+ | * '' | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Abridged Version === | ||
+ | For all those who only need the information briefly and to the point; the following commands must be issued: | ||
+ | - Install required packages | ||
+ | - '' | ||
+ | - '' | ||
+ | - '' | ||
+ | - Get sources: '' | ||
+ | - Compiling: | ||
+ | * Game compilation: | ||
+ | * Compiling without music:: '' | ||
+ | * Compiling server (optional): '' | ||
+ | The game can then be started normally by double-clicking on the '' | ||
+ | === Problems === | ||
+ | However, there is something to consider here: The game saves its settings, replays, soldier files, etc., in the game directory (at least for now). This means that if you want to play the game without having //massive// problems with usability, you must have write permissions to the ufo2000 directory. It is also recommended to check the configuration file '' | ||
+ | |||
+ | It may happen that the game just compiled does not start, but throws out this error message: | ||
+ | |||
+ | '' | ||
+ | '' | ||
+ | |||
+ | In this case you should check if the path to the game contains any problematic Unicode characters, such as umlauts. Then it will not find the paths. | ||
+ | === Create Starter === | ||
+ | If you really value optics, you can also create a desktop file for the binary in order to integrate the just compiled UFO2000 into the starter of Gnome, for example: | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | [Desktop Entry] | ||
+ | Name=UFO2000 | ||
+ | Exec=< | ||
+ | Type=Application | ||
+ | StartupNotify=true | ||
+ | Path=< | ||
+ | Icon=< | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | Save this file e.g. under the name '' | ||
+ | |||
+ | How to compile the game under Ubuntu is described here in [[https:// | ||
+ | ===== Network/ | ||
+ | The Mobile Infanterie has a dedicated UFO2000 server running: '' | ||
+ | |||
+ | If you don't want to use the [[Hotseat]] mode (two players on the same PC), you can connect to one of the servers available on the Internet. The default server '' | ||

+ | If you want to set up a server yourself, you can do this with the included or self compiled server-binary '' | ||
