openomf-0.6.5.2 – free remake of One Must Fall 2097 game engine (cvsweb github mirror)

Description

OpenOMF is a Open Source remake of "One Must Fall 2097" by Diversions
Entertainment. Together with networking support, OpenOMF tries to make
it easier to play One Must Fall in its original glory on multiple
platforms.

Project goals:
* At first, as faithful a game binary to the original as possible.
* Better game controller support (new gamepads etc.)
* Better networking support. The original game used IPX/SPX networking.
* More network game types. For example full Internet tournaments are
  being planned.
* Support for new graphics and audio. The current version of OpenOMF
  already supports loading alternate music files. Support for alternate
  sprites is coming after the game is otherwise working okay.
* Enhanced tournament mode!

While OpenOMF is open source, the game and its assets are not.
Fortunately, the developers released the game as freeware in 1999. It
can be obtained from archive.org:

OpenOMF
=======
OpenOMF requires the original game files from One Must Fall 2097 in
order to work properly. While OpenOMF is open source software, One Must
Fall 2097 is proprietary and must be obtained in order to use OpenOMF.

Fortunately, the developers of One Must Fall 2097 released the game as
freeware in 1999. It is available for download at archive.org:
https://archive.org/download/OneMustFall2097/OMF21cd-playable.ZIP
The above zip file has the following checksum:
SHA256 (OMF21cd-playable.ZIP) = pZ4Ke4NMfyNANwwGXkiuSjsnWzdw91uNGl3YrYi5inQ=

Note that this .ZIP file will extract its contents into the working
directory!

For a global installation, the game files must be placed in
${TRUEPREFIX}/share/openomf.

Alternatively, the game can be launched from any directory that holds
the game assets. If you choose this route, the file
${TRUEPREFIX}/share/openomf/openomf.bf must be copied to this
directory before launching the game.
