• SIM support in tournament mode
• Reworked text renderer and HELP menu
• Opponent AI improvements
• Large improvements to gameplay accuracy
• Numerous graphical improvements

As a special bonus, we have DeBisco's remix of the powerplant theme to include. Simply download the attached ARENA2.ogg and drop it into your OpenOMF resources folder!

Welcome to the fourth official openomf release! It's only been a few years :) Note that this is pretty much alpha quality, but still represents a huge leap in features over the old 0.6.5.

Changelog:

• Tournament mode
• New enemy AI
• New graphics renderer with more correct visuals
• New audio backend
• MSVC windows builds (now with windows ARM support)
• Kiloton of bugfixes and improvements all over the place

Release v0.6.5

This is the third official release of OpenOMF, and is meant to be a preview of v0.7 release. Note that this release should still be considered alpha quality. Most of the stuff is somewhat or very buggy :)

Changelog

• Gamepad support
• Single player campaign
• Scoreboard
• More HAR moves and fixes
• AI (still pretty simple)
• Shadows
• Other small fixes and corrections

Guide:

• You can take screenshots by pressing F1.
• For hosting network games, you need to open up an UDP port. By default the port is 2097, but it can be changed in config file.
• If you find a bug and don't tell us about it at our bug tracker (https://github.com/omf2097/openomf/issues), hungry kittens will eat your candy.
• Config file and logfile can be found in "%APPDATA%/AnanasGroup/openomf/" (windows) or "~/.local/AnanasGroup/openomf" (linux).

Installation:

You will need to fetch OMF2097 game resources from http://www.omf2097.com/pub/files/omf/omf2097.rar and put them somewhere where OpenOMF can find them. Note: you may remove all .EXE, *.DOC, *.TXT, *.MUS, *.PCX, SETUP., and OMF.* files, as well as MASTER.DAT.

• On windows, extract the resources to "resources/" subdirectory.
• On linux systems (if you use .deb packages), extract the resources to "/usr/share/openomf" directory.
• Note that on self compiled packages on linux systems, the resources should be in "../share/openomf". So if your binary is in "/usr/local/bin/", then your resources should be "/usr/local/share/openomf/"

Other notes

• There will be no MacOSX package, unless somebody shows up on our IRC channel to complain about it :/
• Our DEB packages are very experimental, and may not always work perfectly. They have only been tested to work on Debian Sid. The package name is currently "openomf-binaries", but it may change in the future.

Release v0.6

This is the second official release of OpenOMF. Since the last release, work has been done throughout the codebase, and lots of bugs have been fixed and introduced. This release should still be considered alpha-quality.

Changelog:

• Score mostly implemented
• Playable network game mode
• New video code; palette effects and alpha channel is now properly handled
• HAR can now get stunned if it received enough punishment
• Shadows
• Wall collisions
• Arena hazards
• HAR jumping somersaults
• Screen shaking
• Tons of HAR moves fixed.
• Scene crossfades
• Intro & credits mostly work
• Config file and logfile moved to a locally readable & writable path.

A Quick Game Guide

• You can take screenshots by pressing F1.
• For hosting network games, you need to open up an UDP port. By default the port is 2097, but it can be changed in config file.
• If you find a bug and don't tell us about it at our bugtracker (https://github.com/omf2097/openomf/issues), hungry kittens will eat your candy.
• Configuration file for windows can be found in C:/Users//AppData/Roaming/AnanasGroup/openomf/openomf.conf

Installation:

• On windows, use the -full packages or you'll need to fetch the original game resources from http://www.omf2097.com/pub/files/omf/omf2097.rar and extract them to resources/ subdirectory.
