Post by: iL on March 01, 2019, 03:03:03 AM: I just tried to build wargus/stratagus last month: it became much better than 5-7 years ago, no more crashes (at least i didn't get), but it's not quite stable.

Wargus is still a very strange thing: you start with strange set of maps. Yes, you can find classic maps, but you have to search them.
Also, the program just leaves sometimes when you finish the game...

I think i'll release something like last playable wargus/stratagus to install as next-next-next-finish and then just play.

I think we can say goodbye to that idea, now that Blizzard have join forces with GOG. War2 is like a classic and aparently will never have an HD version o rerelease like War3 :(

many games havent got HD version and when games joined to GOG they release it, like stronghold, maybe they will do, ofc they wont make it like sc:r but maybe we will havent got "black bars"

t the ddraw in war2 folder with .exe mpq etc...start war2,hit ~ in the game to bring up menu.

Did that but the game didn't start at all, i received a message saying the ddraw was not ok or was missing (tried using Windows 10). I think we should work around with the new Diablo (GOG) ddraw, maybe it's already corrected ;)

EDIT: the Diablo (GOG) ddraw worked with War2Combat!! You even can configure the resolution with a little tool included in the Diablo folder.

All i did was copy from the folder \Diablo\dx the following files:

ddraw.dll
dxcfg.exe
dxcfg.ini

With dxcfg.exe you can change resolution and other things, War2 work with no lag, is cool!!!

Post by: Incos on March 21, 2019, 03:08:57 PM: This is worth looking into. Does anyone have access to the stratagus mod that was made with dwarves? I saw it was 3 races, found that kind of fascinating.
