Cannon fodder open source

If someone could check if this compile easy?

Could be nice to have this.

I peeked and it comes with a Makefile for the Clang frontend. The C++ code did not compile trivially with g++ 5.3.0. It only requires SDL2 so maybe someone will do this.

@Thematic

I've got it compiling here with gcc 8.2.0. Just some link time errors left to deal with (linker libs and so on).

@salas00
Did you also have std::to_string errors at begining ? I have lots, and had to use clib2 to get rid of them

@kas1e

Yes. I got around it by adding the following to stdafx.hpp:



This was from a suggestion on stackoverflow.

There were also a few other missing definitions which were easier to solve, even.

It compiles now, but apart from the intro and main menu screen it is pretty much unplayable. Also it locks up with a black screen on exit.

The code pretty much assumes a little endian CPU throughout. I've fixed some of the endianness issues but there are probably quite a few still remaining.

Current source code of port:

Binaries if anyone wants to test (game data files not included):

@salass00

I have tried PC game files.

After intro and menu main screen, I get a black screen with following msg on shell

File all02.voc Not Found!

@salas00 & @kas1e

Downloaded the windows version and it has a CAMPAIGNS drawer with some txt/json files (http://jabirulo.site90.com/temp/OC_Campaigns.lha)

It loads Amiga data files fine, but shows garbled (endian issue?)
Tested on my SAM46ex.

Just put the Campaigns drawer in OF progdir:

EDIT: INSTALL.md says
...
### Campaign Data

The campaign information was originally hardcoded in the executable, this is required to play and is downloadable alonside six demos from (https://github.com/OpenFodder/data/rel ... 1.5.1/Data.pack.1.5.1.zip).

This data is packaged with the Windows Installer, but will be a required download if you're compiling / running on Linux/Unix.
...

Si such file/archive is needed in our port too.

Hi

AmiWest 2024's theme of "Get your game on!". Games were the backbone of the Amiga platform.
There was no native Cannon Fodder after AOS4. With help came an open port of Open fodder.... and @salass00's work on the previous port.
Plus the help of @Javier and @Samir
Thanks guys!!!

If anyone found any bugs before publishing on os4depot thanks in advance for your help

* full version of Cannon Fodder is required to make the port fully functional

version with full installation of the original cannon fodder

@smarkusg

If I understand you correctly, you fixed few bugs, got it working well.
Nice work.

@LiveForIt
I only corrected a few bugs and moved to the new version 1.8. salass00 did most of the work. He left out a few bugs.
Ports are ports... anyway, most credit goes to the authors of the original versions.

@smarkusg

he he that's cool thanks, I tested it with the AmigaCD32 version of Cannon Fodder and it works. The mouse speed in the game could be a bit faster.

Thanks a lot

@Maijestro

Can you try if you rename the SCRIPTS drawer inside openffoder, then the mouse moves faster in game?

Yes, that works better. Thank you

Today i tested the version from OS4Depot.

I have some GFX bugs with fonts.

@root

SDLPrefs settings? I have all to defaults.

Thanks for the port, Smarkusg! Well done!

By the way, GOG is having a sale with 75% discount on both Cannon Fodder and Cannon Fodder 2:

@AmigaOldskooler

Thanks.
I hope you will have fun ..as I did. I discovered over the years that this game is not as easy as it used to be
