  • Would this work with Node-Webkit projects ?

    It works event better on Node-Webkit project, It allows application to load files both from localhost and remote servers (cross domain requests).

    [edit] I added downloadable project files in description for your projects

  • It's created as construct project with a simple ajax conditions to load available files in any web folder capable of running php script.

    What it's for?

    Automated loading data files in a web folder. For example: plugins for application, maps for games or items contained in a separate files.

    Files:

    • preview prettyminimal.com/projects/fileLoader/01
    • c2project prettyminimal.com/projects/fileLoader/01/[c2project]fileLoader.capx
    • php script prettyminimal.com/projects/fileLoader/01/myfiles/list.txt - change the name to list.php

    What's required:

    • Running PHP server for generating file list
    • Web folder on the same server for publishing construct application (ajax does not allow cross domain requests)
    • Web folder with any files to be loaded into our application

    Screen:

    How it works:

    1. App sends request to list.php file

    2. list.php generates Json with file list from the same folder

    3. App receives Filenames in Json and loads them into dictionary object as file0 = "aaa.txt", file1 = "bbb.txt" and so on

  • Thank You for all kind words.

    It is fun to do some research on Dune reproduction, but I'm more into graphic design instead of programming, so it would take quite a lot of effort to recreate whole game, but if there would be a few people interested in joining in maybe things could go forward

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • Thank You

    You are all right about the copyrights. Probably I couldn't use a "Dune" name and any of copyrighted graphics, even the old ones, so let it be like it is as the eyecandy for RTS players and makers

    BUT

    There is some resources to makea new pixelart rts.

    There are graphic artists who still make pixelart rts mockups.

    There are game makers. There are even 8bit audio makers.

    It's just hard to build everything from scratch for one person.

    Yeah I miss the good old one simple RTS mechanics in new games too.

    I find playing Open Red Alert better than Red Alert 3.

    Or Total Annihilation than Supreme Commander, and so on.

    More inspirations online:

    my Pixelart graphics on polish pix.art.pl service that we are maintaining.

  • Just a graphic concept made of materials found through the web (I'm not an owner of some graphics used on the previews).

    Credits: Some Demoscene graphics, Some fanart digital paintings, Some Westwood Dune2 Graphics, Some of mine, and so on.

    Original Dune 2 ingame screen

    Title screen I made basing on original Dune 2 layout

    Game screen Made of my pixelart units, Tyrian Author's terrains and dune gui

    Would be nice to create new wersion of old-style dune in version 3

    and any contribution would be appreciated.
