xoreos
Early reimplementation of BioWare's Aurora engine
xoreos
Description
xoreos is an open source implementation of BioWare's Aurora engine and its derivatives, licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License version 3 (or later).
The goal is to have all games using this engine working in a portable manner, starting from Neverwinter Nights and ending with Dragon Age II.
Game data for at least one of the supported games is required. This project is at its early stages, all supported games run but no actual gameplay is implemented.
No link is provided to the binaries as they're meant to be used via command-line and the user needs to specify either the path or the game to run. Examples: 'xoreos -p/path/to/game/' 'xoreos nwn' The engine creates its own configuration files in ~/config/settings/xoreos, check the documentation provided with the package, especially the sample configuration, to add game-specific paths to it and use the engine's other features.
Install
Channel stable v0.0.7-3
This app is curated in HaikuPorts. Install it from there, it is already available in HaikuDepot.
pkgman install xoreos
Careful: the file comes from HaikuPorts' own server, but installing it by hand is not the way in. It is pkgman that resolves the dependencies an .hpkg does not carry with it, and a package installed on its own may simply not run. Use the pkgman command above, unless you know exactly why you want the file.
