Can you make the current harbour available for download?
BTW; do you know freecol.sf.net, it's a GPL remake of Colonization
(unfortunately written in Java), but their harbour graphics look
really nice, maybe you can find some inspiration.

 Debian
 packages (I'll push them into regular Debian for 0.3), but a Gentoo ebuild 
 and an RPM
 would be really nice as well.
 
 I use gentoo, but a ebuild seems difficult, since it depends on 
 ogre-0.14.1, and latest ebuild is 0.14.0, but I could try to do that..

I'm not aware of a specific new feature in 0.14.1 that freebooters depends
on? Did you get a broken build when compiling with 0.14.0?

[Freebooters-devel] Status update

2004-10-05 Thread Moritz Muehlenhoff
Hi,
I've been busy with replacing my notebook (which has the nice side effect that 
have
3D accelleration with the new one) and pay check work, but a quick status 
update:
I'm planning to add collision detection and preliminary scene manager 
functionality
into the seatravel code during the week (though I won't be able to check in 
anything
as won't have internet access through my notebook). On top of that I'll add the
decoration Kabutor has made so far (namely trees and the arrow).

After that in the middle of the next week we should make a 0.2.2 release to get 
some
more feedback about the 3D stuff so that 0.3 can have proper inter island sea 
travel
and a full 3D world.
So if anyone has pending work that should make it into 0.2.2 please speak out 
:-)

Christoph, can you recheck that the current codebase compiles and runs with 
mingw32?

In the mid term it would be very nice if we had more packaged download 
possibilities
(compiling tarballs seems to scare a lot of people away). I'm maintaining Debian
packages (I'll push them into regular Debian for 0.3), but a Gentoo ebuild and 
an RPM
would be really nice as well.

Cheers,
Moritz
