| Readme: | Return To The Roots 0.9.5 - MorphOS Port
****************************************
Return To The Roots is a free re-implementation of The Settlers II Gold Edition,
with network games, AI players, many new game options (addons) and a map editor.
## Requirements
- SDL2 2.32 library (last version) : https://www.morphos-storage.net/?find=SDL_2
- MorphOS 3.21
- 3D GFX card compatible with TinyGL (OpenGL)
- The Settlers II Gold Edition data files (GOG version works)
# Installation
You need the original data files:
The Settlers II Gold Edition:
Copy the "DATA" and "GFX" directories of your installation into the
"ReturnToTheRoots" directory, next to s25client.
Update from a previous version:
Your settings, saves, replays and addon presets are in the ".s25rttr"
directory: keep it, and replace all other files and directories.
# MorphOS
- s25client : the game
- s25edit : the map editor (quick port)
The language is detected from the MorphOS locale settings.
Hardware VSync: Options > Graphics > Limit Framerate > VSync.
If the driver does not support it, the game uses a software frame limit.
All translations and the Return To The Roots maps (NEW, OTHER, SEA) are included.
Built with boost 1.87 (filesystem, iostreams, program_options), bz2, samplerate,
lua 5.4, SDL2_mixer and SDL2.
Network games:
- only with players using this same MorphOS version (revision MorphOS-ef9709b):
the game refuses players of other versions, Windows and Linux included
- multiplayer is not tested yet
Known bugs and limitations:
- no UPnP: to host an Internet game, open the game port (TCP 3665) in your router yourself
- no IPv6
- VBO and optimized textures options are disabled
- no text output in the Shell: see the log files in ".s25rttr/LOGS"
- Chinese, Japanese and Korean characters are shown as '?': with these
glyphs the font textures are too big for TinyGL and all texts get unreadable
