I've attempted to update wargus and stratagus for the *last* time.
The versions we have in our repo are really old, because I couldn't
get any newer versons to work with the verson of Warcraft II that I
actually own (the original MS-DOS CD release, before Battle.Net and
before GoG).
I've updated the builds for the latest versions (3.2.2 for both), but
the game still won't start.
So I rebuilt/reinstalled the old versions of stratagus and wargus and
*they* no longer work:
Invalid graphic (width, height) /usr/share/games/stratagus/wargus/graphics/ui/fonts/game.png
Expected: (14,14) Found: (195,196)
So I'm done. I haven't played Warcraft II in ages, anyway. If I want
to play it again someday, I'll play it in DOSBox, which actually works
fine.
Does anyone want to take over these builds, and maybe update them to
their latest versions? The new versions require the Battle.Net or GoG
data files, but probably that's not a problem for most people.
If anyone wants to take them over, please do. If not, they'll be
orphaned in the next update (this weekend).
