| INTRODUCTION | ||
|
|
||
| Barony is a first-person action role-playing game with several roguelike elements. | ||
| You can play it in singleplayer or multiplayer modes. | ||
|
|
||
| ARGUMENTS | ||
|
|
||
| -windowed - Forces the game to start in a window. | ||
| -size=???x??? - Sets the display resolution. | ||
| -map=??? - Chooses a map to run on startup as opposed to reading the first line from levels.txt. Filetype can be included/excluded at will. | ||
| -gen=??? - Generates a dungeon to run on startup as opposed to reading the first line from levels.txt. | ||
| -config=??? - Chooses a config file to execute on startup as opposed to simply running 'default.cfg'. | ||
| -quickstart=??? - Bypasses the menu/character creation process and simply starts the game with the player as the specified class. | ||

| game -windowed -size=960x600 -map=test -quickstart=barbarian | ||
|
|
||
| The above command starts the game in a window at 960x600 and quickstarts the map "test.lmp" as a barbarian. | ||

|
||
| These instructions apply only to the non-Steam version of Barony: | ||
|
|
||
| In order to play Barony online or over a network, the port specified by the server must be open on both the clients and server for both the UDP and TCP protocols for the game to work. | ||
|
|
||
| You may find tools like Hamachi useful for setting up internet games if you can't figure out how to forward all your ports correctly. Additionally you can try playing the game on a LAN to bypass all that nonsense. | ||
|
|
||
| Remember: when creating a game, the server only needs to enter a port number. The CLIENTS however must enter both the server's address and the port together, separated by a colon. So if the server's address is 192.168.1.1 and the port is 12345, you would enter: | ||
|
|
||
| 192.168.1.1:12345 | ||
|
|
||
| into the connection box, and press "Join" to connect. | ||
|

| You wouldn't believe how many emails we've received about this... :) | ||

| INTRODUCTION | ||
|
|
||
| Barony is a first-person action role-playing game with several roguelike elements. | ||
| You can play it in singleplayer or multiplayer modes. | ||
| Well here it is, as promised: the open source release of Barony. Keep in mind you still need a purchased copy of Barony to play this. I'd recommend that you thumb through all of the included text files to get a feeling of other things you'll need to build the game and check out the included licenses as well. | ||
|
|
||
| ARGUMENTS | ||
|
|
||
| -windowed - Forces the game to start in a window. | ||
| -size=???x??? - Sets the display resolution. | ||
| -map=??? - Chooses a map to run on startup as opposed to reading the first line from levels.txt. Filetype can be included/excluded at will. | ||
| -gen=??? - Generates a dungeon to run on startup as opposed to reading the first line from levels.txt. | ||
| -config=??? - Chooses a config file to execute on startup as opposed to simply running 'default.cfg'. | ||
| -quickstart=??? - Bypasses the menu/character creation process and simply starts the game with the player as the specified class. | ||
| Many thanks go to Ciprian Ilies for his original contributions to the game code, as well as for the build systems, config files, and support libraries that he developed for the project over the years. In the future, he plans to head up development on some new stuff for Barony, so keep an eye out for that. | ||
|
|
||
| Ex: | ||
| game -windowed -size=960x600 -map=test -quickstart=barbarian | ||
| This project was a first for both of us in many ways and it shows. Since all of the original code was written in C and hastily converted to C++ in the past few months, experienced C++ programmers may be horrified at some of the kludge we had to write to get some of the more basic systems working properly. There's not a lot of module organization either since I didn't understand how to properly write projects that scale when I started the code three years ago. Prepare to deal with lots of global variables that get used all over the project indiscriminately. | ||
|
|
||
| The above command starts the game in a window at 960x600 and quickstarts the map "test.lmp" as a barbarian. | ||
| Despite the project's shortcomings, I'm reasonably proud of how the end product turned out. Writing good games is about more than just writing good code, though I guarantee we'll be taking all of the lessons learned from Barony into our next project. | ||
|
|
||
| CONSOLE COMMANDS | ||
| I'm not sure how many people will be interested in working on this, and it may take a while for anything substantial to get going here, but I'd be pleased to see some coordinated efforts take place on this code sometime in the coming years. | ||
|
|
||
| The following is an inexhaustive list of commands which can be entered during the game to achieve certain effects: | ||
| Some project ideas: | ||
|
|
||
| /ping | ||
| Pings the server and returns the roundtrip time in milliseconds. | ||
| * Add an extra hard mode to the game. | ||
| * Add a dungeon with infinite levels. | ||
| * Create a dedicated server. | ||
| * Multithread the packet handler. | ||
| * Multithread the entity logic. | ||
| * Add script support for entities and items. | ||
| * Add persistent levels and servers. | ||
| * Add fully 3D physics and world geometry. | ||
| * Renovate the OpenGL code to a modern standard. | ||
