Architecture: m68k-amigaos >= 3.1.0
Distribution: Aminet

Overview:

Dune Dynasty is a continuation of the classic real-time strategy game Dune II by Westwood Studios. 
It builds upon the original game engine as reverse-engineered by the OpenDUNE project.

Dune Dynasty features these modern enhancements:

 * Runs natively on Linux and Windows (OpenGL or Direct3D)
 * High-resolution graphics, including zooming
 * Multiple unit selection with control groups
 * New build queue interface
 * Rally points
 * Multiple sound channels


Requirements:

1) An RTG Amiga.
2) Workbench must be using a 32-bit pixel format screen mode.
3) 68060 processor or better (PiStorm recommended).
4) AHI installed and configured.
5) CAMD library installed and configured for native MIDI playback.
6) A copy of the PC game data files (must be version 1.07).


Features:

 * SDL2 based port using my own library
 * MIDI support (GM/MT-32)
 * OGG compressed audio support 
 * Fullscreen and window mode support
 * 32-bit scaler support


Configuration Options:

You must specify a stack of at least 300,000.
Check CONTROLS.txt for the controls.
Any errors/warnings should be written to the log file.

Performance Considerations:

1) Fast File System isn't, use PFS3 instead.
2) Use v4.18 of AHI as the later versions are too slow.
3) If you are using Paula try using the 'FAST' audio AHI modes.
4) Playing compressed audio or video on a real 68k CPU will be very slow.


Limitations:

1) No network multiplayer support.


Version History:

1.5.7.01 - Initial release.
