This is Freeciv 1.7 AMIGA compile for Xgeek!
FILES
Needed files:
FreeCiv1.7-020.lha OR FreeCiv1.7-040.lha
FreeCiv1.7-dat.lha
FreeCiv1.7-xpm.lha
FreeCiv1.7-src.lha (only needed for recompile)
(from Aminet, e.g. ftp://wuarchive.wustl.edu/systems/amiga/aminet/)
Additionally needed files when using AmiWin (registered):
X-11R6.3-ixlib-bin.tgz
(from Geek Gadgets, e.g. http://www.ninemoons.com/ or on CD (!!) )
Additionally needed files when using AmiWin (unregistered):
X-11R6.3-ixlib-bin.tgz
X-11R6.3-fonts-bin.tgz
(from Geek Gadgets, e.g. http://www.ninemoons.com/ or on CD (!!) )
NOTE: '.tgz' means '.tar.gz'! So you maybe need a GUNZIP tool to unpack
the file(s) - this creates a '.tar' file - and a TAR tool to
list/extract the files inside of the '.tar' file !! These tools
are available from Aminet, too.
INSTALLATION:
Unpack FreeCiv to wherever you like. Start "InstallXPM" to install
the libXpm.ixlibrary to GG:Sys/libs (it is included in the GG package,
but as src only). Read README_Amiga for hints how to start.
If you use AmiWin, you should first unpack FreeCiv to wherever you like.
Then copy libXpm.ixlibrary by hand to LIBS:. Unpack X-11R6.3-ixlib-
bin.tgz and copy the files from the Sys/Libs/ directory to LIBS:. The
other dirs aren't useful for you.
If you use the unregistered version of AmiWin, you should register ;-).
Or you unpack X-11R6.3-fonts-bin.tgz and copy the whole directory
X11R6.3/lib/X11/fonts/misc to AmiWin/x11/lib/x11/fonts/misc (you should
first backup your old 'misc'). Perform all the steps from above, too.
USAGE:
Start your TCP/IP stack LOCALLY (you don't need a connection to your internet
provider if you play locally, but server and client communicate via IP).
Start the XServer (Xgeek: see GeekGadgets docs for usage - AmiWin: see AmiWin
docs for usage; it's not that easy :-( ). This should open a new screen. Go
back to workbench.
Open a shell, cd into the FreeCiv directory. Type
Stack 100000
civserver -n
You should see
Freeciv version 1.7.0 server
> 1: Now accepting new client connections
Now the FreeCiv server is running. Let's start the client. Open a second shell,
cd into FreeCiv dir. Type
setenv DISPLAY "localhost:0"
Stack 300000
civclient
Now you should change back to your XServer screen where the client window
appears. See README and HOWTOPLAY for further usage and tips.
ADAPTATION:
Only one little modification had to be done to compile and use it with the
GeekGadgets package: The X-Server Xgeek doesn't seem to handle the keypad
keys right, so I had to change the internal mapping. As a side effect you
can play FreeCiv even without a keypad at all (A600).
There are versions for 020 and 040; automatic stack extension is turned off,
so always use a large stack (100000-300000 should be enough).
CREDITS & CONTACT:
Please read CREDITS for all the people involved in creating this great game!
Big thanks and respect go out to the FreeCiv team (very good and easy to port
work!) and the GeekGadgets team (the AMIGA community is indebted to you guys!).
AMIGA modifications and compile were done by Sebastian Huebner <cyco@gmx.de>.
