<p>FacelessLinuxUser: Deathmatch</p> <hr /> <div>==Subcategory==<br /> Let me just ask this here since I've just added it to some games and re-read the category page: Do we really consider games with bots to be a subcategory of deathmatch games? Most kinds of game which have multiplayer matches would fall under my understanding of the kind of game where bots are possible but may or may not be present. If only deathmatch then the definition is extremely narrow and excludes even an FPS like Unvanquished which I've just added.

Both code and media are licensed under the [[GNU General Public License]].&lt;ref&gt;[http://freeciv.wikia.com/wiki/License ''Freeciv'' website on licensing]&lt;/ref&gt; Freeciv is mostly written in the [[:Category:C games|C]] programming language.&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.ohloh.net/projects/3229?p=Freeciv Freeciv project data from Ohloh.net]&lt;/ref&gt; This game does not require [[3D hardware acceleration]]. The game is also playable as an HTML5 Web game.<br /> <br /> ==Clients==<br /> ''Freeciv'' can be played via different clients, the majority of which are in an early stage of development.<br /> *''Freeciv-gtk2'', currently the official and most stable client.<br /> *''Freeciv-sdl'', also official, but yet unstable.&lt;ref&gt;[http://freeciv.wikia.com/wiki/Download ''Freeciv'' download page]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> *''Freeciv-Xaw3D''<br /> *''Freeciv-QT''<br /> *''play.freeciv.org web client'', an online version of Freeciv playable in a web browser.<br /> <br /> ==Gameplay==<br /> There are several ways to win a Freeciv game. The simplest is to wipe out all the enemy players. Another option is to become the first to colonize space. There is also a time limit, so if after a certain amount of time has gone by and no one has won, the player with the highest score wins by default.<br /> <br /> Freeciv can use various sets of rules: the standard Freeciv rules, the Civilization II rules, and the Civilization I rules. However, the basic gameplay stays the same.<br /> <br /> ==Development history==<br /> On [[1995#November|November 14, 1995]], the ''Freeciv'' project started, to replace the broken ''Openciv''.&lt;ref&gt;[http://freeciv.wikia.com/wiki/Timeline Freeciv wiki's timeline on civilization like games]&lt;/ref&gt; The original developers were [[Claus Leth Gregersen]], [[Allan Ove Kjeldbjerg]], and [[Peter Joachim Unold]]. Gregersen coded the game mechanics, Unold wrote the client architecture, and Kjeldbjerg provided the graphics.&lt;ref&gt;[http://freeciv.wikia.com/wiki/In_The_Beginning Historical account by Allan]&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;[http://freeciv.wikia.com/wiki/People#Original_authors.2C_otherwise_known_as_the_Great_Danes The original contributors section of People page at Freeciv wiki.]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> However, when the game approached playability, they lost interest and moved on to playing the game [[XPilot NG|XPilot]]. Since then, a great number of new developers and contributors have allowed the project to grow. In May 2017 Gna! was closed and the Freeciv code repository moved to Github.&lt;ref&gt;[https://github.com/freeciv/freeciv Freeciv project on Github]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Version history===<br /> We have documented that The Freeciv project have a long and extensive [[Freeciv release history|release history]].<br /> <br /> Freeciv supported online play via the [[GGZ Gaming Zone]] from version 2.1 until 2.5.&lt;ref&gt;[http://freeciv.wikia.com/wiki/GGZ ''Freeciv'' technical information] for GGZ Gaming Zone&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.ggzgamingzone.org/gameclients/freeciv/ Factsheet on ''Freeciv''] from GGZ Gaming Zone&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> A version was included on the 100 Great Games for Linux [[:wikipedia:Shovelware|shovelware]] collection.<br /> <br /> ==Receptions==<br /> As of April 27, 2012, ''Freeciv'' received 4.63 points out of 5 based on 125 votes on the now-defunct Linux Game Tome.&lt;ref&gt;[http://web.archive.org/web/20120427134429/http://happypenguin.org/show?freeciv List of games sorted by rating] on the Linux Game Tome, through archive.org's Wayback Machine&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Freeciv on the web==<br /> Freeciv can also be played online on [http://play.freeciv.org http://play.freeciv.org].

The source and media are licensed under the [[GNU General Public License|GPL]].&lt;ref&gt;[http://packages.debian.org/unstable/games/glob2-data ''Globulation 2's'' data on Debian's page]&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;[https://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs/main/g/glob2/stable_copyright Globulation 2's copyright file] at [http://debian.org/distrib/packages Debian packages]&lt;/ref&gt; The latest release of the game is 0.9.4.1 released on March 25{{th}}, 2009. It is programmed in C++. It uses the [[Simple DirectMedia Layer|SDL]]&lt;ref&gt;[http://packages.debian.org/testing/games/glob2 Package info for glob2 on packages.debian.org]&lt;/ref&gt; and Boost&lt;ref&gt;[http://globulation2.org/wiki/Frequently_Asked_Questions#What_additional_software_libraries_do_I_need.3F Globulation FAQs What additional software libraries do I need?]&lt;/ref&gt; libraries.<br /> ==Gameplay==<br /> Players can play multiplayer games via LAN or via the Internet through the Ysagoon Online Gaming service. In single-player mode, they can play against different AIs or in campaign mode.<br /> <br /> In ''Globulation 2'', unlike other games in its genre, players cannot control units directly. Influencing the unit's behaviour is done by creating ''zones'' and ''flags'' on the map, which affect a certain type and amount of units, ordering them to harvest resources, scout a region, avoid places or search for enemies to attack.&lt;ref&gt;[https://archive.fosdem.org/2008/slides/maintracks/globulation2.pdf Globulation 2 - Free software RTS game with a new take on micro-management]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Units===<br /> *'''Warriors'''' their main function is to attack the enemy and defend the buildings and workers. They fight in close combat. They can gain experience in combat, thus leveling makes them more powerful and destructive. Training facilities can enhance the fighting ability of these warriors significantly.<br /> *'''Workers''' gather food and the resources needed for building. They build, repair, and upgrade buildings and automatically work on constructing, repairing, or harvesting resources.<br /> *'''Explorers''' are flying units that automatically scout the map in a circular movement. These flying creatures can only be attacked by enemy explorers and towers. They can be upgraded to bomb units. Since they cannot be attacked by globs, they are especially devastating when there are no other enemy scouts and towers in the area.<br /> <br /> ===Buildings===<br /> ''Globulation 2'' features some buildings that give units special abilities like swimming, the ability to build higher-level buildings, or faster movement, and upgraded versions of those buildings improve those abilities.<br /> <br /> For each building site, the number of workers working on the construction can be set. Units will automatically build. Not all of the buildings need to be maintained by workers after the building is completed. For repair, the player has to manually order the repair to be done on the building.<br /> <br /> *'''Inns''' are perhaps the most important building in the game. They provide food storage for your globs, which is necessary for them to go to work, fight, and do other things. In some cases, they can be used to convert enemy globs to your side. Upgraded versions provide increased capacity to store food and feed your globs.<br /> *'''Towers''' are defence structures that are used to attack aggressors. They are useful for protecting territory and making it difficult for globs to conquer that land. However, they require units to supply them with ammunition.<br /> *'''Walls''' are useful for slowing down and keeping out enemy globs. They also have the highest defence strength in the game. Since they cannot be upgraded, they become less useful as the games progress to later stages.<br /> *'''Swimming pools''' teaches globs how to swim. Upgraded versions can train more globs and as well train them to be faster.<br /> *'''Racetracks''' increases the globs' land speed. This is especially useful in combat, as warriors take less time to get there.<br /> *'''Markets''' are used for trading resources with other glob colonies.<br /> *'''Barracks''' increase a warrior's combat ability dramatically. The more upgraded the barracks is, the more globs the player can train and the more the player gains from training them.<br /> *'''Swarm''' is the only unit production building in the entire game. It produces all three types of units. Unlike other buildings, it can repair itself over time. Wheat is required for the production of unit.<br /> *'''Schools''' teach the player's globs how to upgrade buildings. The final upgrade can teach scouts how to bomb units.<br /> *'''Hospitals''' heal the player's globs and the scouts' health. The upgraded version has a greater capacity to heal more units.<br /> <br /> ===Resources===<br /> Like other games, Globulation 2 requires resources. However, unlike other games, the resources are either unlimited or renewable. Unmanaged growths can enclose colonies. However, there are tools for managing them such as the destroy resource flag. You can also permanently deplete some resource by over harvesting it. Wheat and wood are resources that can be depleted.<br /> *'''Wheat''' is the most important resource in the entire game. They are used for the production of units, buildings and food for the globs as well.<br /> *'''Wood''' is the primary construction material of the game.<br /> *'''Stone''' is used to build walls, supply towers, and is a construction material for some buildings.<br /> <br /> ===AIs===<br /> The Globulation 2 team has developed several different AIs, each suiting different needs and with their own strength and weakness.<br /> *'''AINicowars''' is the most difficult AI in the entire game, designed to close the gap between the players and Glob2 AIs.<br /> *'''AIWarrush''' is a war AI, designed to continuously send warriors to the enemies. Often, they built hospitals and other facilities to shorten the time needed to get back into combat.<br /> *'''AINone''' is an AI that does nothing. It is used primary for campaigns.<br /> *'''Reach to Infinity''' is an AI designed for economic expansion. It doesn't fight but it can convert globs to its team very efficiently.<br /> *'''AICastor''' is a much more difficult AI than AINumbi.<br /> <br /> ==Development==<br /> Although most of the contribution to Globulation 2 is done by volunteers, a developer by the pseudonym [[genixpro]] is paid to work on the Globulation project fulltime.&lt;ref&gt;[http://cofundos.org/project.php?id=49 Offer to work full time]&lt;/ref&gt; There are also other bounties that the development community is willing to pay for.&lt;ref&gt;[http://cofundos.org/projects.php?tag=glob2 Cofundos's list for the Globulation 2 project]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> ==History==<br /> *See [[Globulation 2 release history]] for more information.<br /> <br /> ==Receptions==<br /> *About.com released a review of ''Globulation 2'', pointing out its innovative features. &lt;ref&gt;[http://linux.about.com/od/softgame/fr/fr_Globulation2.htm Review of Globulation 2 on About.com]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> ==See also==<br /> *[[Warzone 2100]]<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> ==External links== <br /> *[http://www.globulation2.org/wiki/Main_Page Globulation 2 homepage]<br /> *[http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/glob2 Globulation 2 project page] at [[Savannah]]<br /> [[Category:Games]][[Category:Real-time strategy games]][[Category:GPL games]][[Category:SDL games]]<br /> [[Category:C++ games]][[Category:Globulation 2]]<br /> [[Category:Online multiplayer games]]<br /> [[Category:Pausable real-time games]]<br /> [[Category:Games with bots]]</div>

Humans rely on technology and equip various weapons to dispose of their alien adversaries, while the aliens rely on evolving to become larger and fitter monsters.<br /> <br /> Base building plays a crucial role in ''Unvanquished''. ''Machine turrets'' and the ''armory'' (human) and ''acid tubes'' and ''boosters'' (alien) are some of the available buildings. Each base is controlled by a main structure: the human ''reactor'' and the alien ''overmind'' power the other buildings, so defending one team's main structure and destroying the enemies' is a main task of the game. A team has to destroy all enemy's spawn points and players to win.<br /> ===Alien team===<br /> As an alien, most fighting is close-combat, with the exception of Advanced Grangers and Advanced Dragoons who can spit projectiles. Evolution points are spent on evolving into stronger units with special abilities. Those include walking on walls, paralyzing the enemy or shooting projectiles.<br /> <br /> ===Human team===<br /> Human players use weapons and items to kill. Money is spent at the armory building to buy guns, armor and other equipment.<br /> <br /> ==Changes since Tremulous==<br /> <br /> Unvanquished have received various changes since Tremulous, of which some of the most important may be:<br /> <br /> * it is possible to play against computer, since bots were added<br /> * graphics were improved<br /> * build mechanics no longer have sudden death, and the resource mechanics have been reworked<br /> * humans now have long-range rocket turrets but no more tesla<br /> * new maps, while still being able to load Tremulous maps<br /> <br /> ==Project history==<br /> Unvanquished began as one of the projects&lt;ref&gt;See [[Tremfusion]].&lt;/ref&gt; which aimed to revive [[Tremulous]] and incorporate improvements to the then-recently liberated source code of <br /> Quake 3. A version of this engine ([[XreaL]]) incorporating technologies from the release of Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory source became known as [[ET:XreaL]] and a fork of ET:XreaL was to become the [[Daemon|Dæmon]] engine powering Unvanquished&amp;mdash;although at first it was called OpenWolf. The Unvanquished project was briefly known as TremZ before an abandoned Tremulous mod donated its name.&lt;ref name=unvq_10years&gt;https://unvanquished.net/10-years-and-unvanquished/&lt;/ref&gt; Dæmon also incorporated some elements from Tremfusion.&lt;ref&gt;https://unvanquished.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/20210504.unvanquished-history.png&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> * [[Tremfusion]]<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> <br /> == External links ==<br /> * [https://unvanquished.net/ ''Unvanquished'' homepage]<br /> * [https://forums.unvanquished.net/ ''Unvanquished'' forum]<br /> * [https://wiki.unvanquished.net/ ''Unvanquished'' wiki]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Games]]<br /> [[Category:First-person shooter games]]<br /> [[Category:ioquake3 games]]<br /> [[Category:Multiplayer games]]<br /> [[Category:GPL games]]<br /> [[Category:CC BY-SA games]]<br /> [[Category:3D games]]<br /> [[Category:daemon games]]<br /> [[Category:Deathmatch games]]<br /> [[Category:Science fiction games]]<br /> [[Category:Games with bots]]</div>

The player has to build bases and extend them by building additional buildings, research technologies and develop weapons which are then used to fight the aliens in tactical scenarios.&lt;ref name=&quot;&quot;&gt;Linux Journal [https://www.linuxjournal.com/content/more-free-games-linux article]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Story==<br /> ===Prologue===<br /> In the backstory, the world went through a chaotic early 21{{st}} Century, which stabilized in the latter part of the century and led to a period of peace and relative prosperity. The game begins in the year 2084&lt;ref name=&quot;About&quot;/&gt; shortly after the aliens attacked first Mumbai and then Bonn, Johannesburg, and Bangkok, inflicting heavy military and civilian casualties with little effective resistance.<br /> <br /> A mere 18 days after the attacks begin, the player takes command of Phalanx, a hastily formed extraterrestrial response force under the UN which is the resuscitation of a long-defunct program of the USA.<br /> ===Early Game===<br /> With much of their advanced equipment proving vulnerable to alien stealth, Phalanx initially makes heavy use of ancient, dumber weaponry systems&lt;ref name=&quot;BigDumbRocket&quot;&gt;The 1999 [https://nationalinterest.org/blog/reboot/stealth-down-how-serbian-forces-shot-down-american-f-117-1999-173664 downing] of an F117 is likely to have inspired this design decision in addition to being arguably more fun gameplay.&lt;/ref&gt; as well as advanced electronic countermeasures and targeting systems to try and reduce the aliens' advantage.<br /> <br /> The player starts out with standard ballistic weaponry and combat armor, and must decide how to proceed with research priorities such as obtaining and interrogating live aliens and developing man-portable laser weapons.<br /> &lt;!-- TODO We need to give something without spoiling the game too much.<br /> ===Mid Game===<br /> ===Endgame===<br /> ===Aftermath===<br /> --&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Gameplay==<br /> ===Overview===<br /> The single player campaign is primarily split into two parts which are played alternately.&lt;ref name=&quot;About&quot;&gt;[https://ufoai.org/wiki/About About page] in [https://ufoai.org/ UFO:AI's] wiki&lt;/ref&gt; In the Geoscape, the game plays in real time (with optional time acceleration). Aerial dogfights between human aircraft and alien spacecraft take place in Geoscape mode, as well as new facilities and bases being built from there. When aliens are shot down (or land), the player sends a squad of soldiers to secure the crash site. The game then enters the Battlescape mode, a turn based tactical fight against surviving alien forces on site.<br /> <br /> ===Geoscape===<br /> ====Bases and Facilities====<br /> The Geoscape lets a player see all facilities represented on a globe. Bases, external facilites, even such things as UFO crash sites. Additional base construction can be ordered from here and facilities can be built if enough bases exist&amp;mdash;each supports only a fixed number of external facilities and there is a global maximum as well.<br /> ====UFO Detection====<br /> Each Phalanx radar system has two ranges: A smaller detection range within which UFOs will be found, and a larger tracking range, within which already detected UFOs can be followed. This also applies to aircraft.<br /> ====Aerial Combat====<br /> Dogfighting takes place directly in the Geoscape&amp;mdash;there is no separate interception minigame. By clicking on a UFO the player brings up a list of available aircraft and chooses which to send after it. UFOs may also decide of their own accord to hunt down Phalanx aircraft in the vicinity. Once craft are in weapons range, they can begin shooting at each other until one flees out of range or one or both are shot down. A UFO crash site will only result if the craft was downed over dry land and UFOs will sometimes decide to land before they can be intercepted. Landing sites may be approached with a dropship for a mission the same as crash sites, except there will be more surviving aliens to fight, more salvageable equipment and a strictly limited time frame before the UFO takes off and escapes to orbit.<br /> <br /> In addition Phalanx are able to install anti-air weaponry at bases and off-base SAM sites. These are able to engage visible UFOs within their range and thereby help with difficult interceptions.<br /> <br /> ===Base Management===<br /> ====Construction====<br /> A base exists in a 5x5 grid of underground construction area. The first already contains the most important facilities and a little open space while subsequent bases begin as only an entrance, with additional facilities needing to be built for the base to be useful. With successive bases a part of the grid consists of unbuildable squares.<br /> <br /> As base facilities cost a considerable sum to build, have a monthly upkeep, and take some time to build, decisions should be made carefully. It is also advisable to consider defense when building a base as aliens may choose to attack and some facilities will, by the very nature of their function, have entrances accessible from the surface.<br /> ====Research====<br /> If a base has laboratory space and scientists available, research may be conducted there. Research is independent at each base and cannot be combined. In order to research an alien artifact it must typically be available on site, although some projects can be conducted from anywhere. The player simply assigns how many scientists should work on each project and waits.<br /> ====Supplies====<br /> Storage facilities are required for a base to do nearly anything. They contain nearly anything, from ammunition to aircraft parts or missile batteries. Manmade items can be purchased instantly on the marketplace while exotic items need to be recovered from the battlefield or built in workshops. Simply order production to begin and specify the number of items. Producing human technology in-house does not confer any price advantage but wastes time and workshop space.<br /> ====Personnel====<br /> From within each base the player can hire and fire employees provided enough living quarters are available for all of them. There are soldiers, pilots, workers, and scientists available for hire. The skill levels of the recruitment pool are random so recruits need to be chosen carefully. A finite number of candidates are available with more becoming available each month. Hired personnel must be paid monthly.<br /> * Workers have no skill levels. They build new items in workshops. Initially they're of little use but soon the player will need them for disassembling captured craft and constructing newly researched devices which aren't available in the marketplace.<br /> * Scientists also have no skill levels. They work on research projects, which advance the story and invent new toys for your soldiers to play with.<br /> * Soldiers have a large set of battlefield skills. These increase as they are used on the battlefield, making veteran soldiers extremely valuable.<br /> * Pilots have skills for piloting, targeting and evasion. These also increase with use.<br /> Soldiers can have their equipment loadout modified either here or in the dropship loadout. Including those who aren't on the dropship: The option is important if some soldiers are to be equipped for base defense.<br /> ====Aircraft====<br /> The weaponry, ammunition type, armor, and miscellaneous equipment as well as the personnel assignment for aircraft can be edited. New aircraft may be purchased from the marketplace or built in a workshop, if hangar space is available.<br /> <br /> There are two basic types of aircraft: Interceptors, which use the small hangar, specialize in aerial combat. Dropships, which use the large hangar, transport troops to mission sites and are generally not very capable in combat.<br /> <br /> ===Battlescape===<br /> &lt;!-- TODO<br /> ====Soldiers====<br /> ====Aliens====<br /> ====Civilians====<br /> ====Equipment====<br /> --&gt;<br /> ====Maps====<br /> The Battlescape is a map composed of tiles (or sometimes just one single tile) which are randomly combined to make for a replayable experience. Terrain is not destructible except for very specific scripted conditions (the aliens may break into the Phalanx base through a weak spot in a power plant wall) and windows which may be shot out. Instead the player must rely on other methods of area denial and control, such as creating fires and smoke screens.<br /> <br /> ====Objectives====<br /> The default winning condition in the Battlescape is simply to kill or knock out all opposing forces. Additional winning conditions exist for some maps&lt;ref name=&quot;Mission&quot;&gt;[https://ufoai.org/wiki/Mapping/Entities/misc_mission Configuring missions for maps] in the wiki.&lt;/ref&gt; in the v. 2.6 development branch. For example when the aliens attack a Phalanx base, they can win the mission by occupying the power plant, command center, or antimatter storage facilities for a specified number of turns.<br /> <br /> ====Turn Structure====<br /> The Battlescape is played in alternate turns: Phalanx move first, then the aliens, then civilians. Each unit receives a number of time units per turn and may spend these on actions such as walking or shooting. A player's units may take their actions in any order.<br /> <br /> Unused time units may be reserved for reaction fire (somewhat similar to &quot;overwatch&quot; in some games in the genre). In this case, the unit will shoot in the enemy turn if an enemy performs in its sight enough actions to use up the same number of time units as the shot.<br /> <br /> One notable exception to the genre is that in UFO:AI it is not possible to save the game during a battle.&lt;ref name=&quot;NoSaveScum&quot;&gt;Project lead Martin Gerhardy [https://ufoai.org/forum/index.php/topic,937.msg4687.html#msg4687 stated] explicitly that saving during battle will not be implemented to prevent save scumming and the decision was made early in the project.&lt;/ref&gt; This decision was made for several reasons. Not only does it complicate&lt;ref name=&quot;SavingComplexities&quot;&gt;[https://ufoai.org/forum/index.php/topic,937.msg15295.html#msg15295 According] to story writer Bas Fournier saving the game during battle was deemed not only difficult to implement, but also too difficult for the dev team to maintain.&lt;/ref&gt; development but especially because of the observation&lt;ref name=&quot;ForcedSaveScum&quot;&gt;One player [https://ufoai.org/forum/index.php/topic,937.msg13172.html#msg13172 noting] the effect of allowing save scumming&lt;/ref&gt; that in other turn based games, similar mechanics may lead to higher difficulty&lt;ref name=&quot;NintendoHard&quot;&gt;TV Tropes, for example, [https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/VideoGame/UFOAfterblank describes] the non-free UFO: After X games as &quot;Nintendo hard&quot;.&lt;/ref&gt; settings being developed with the availability of loading taken into account, in such a way that the player is effectively forced to save scum&lt;ref name=&quot;SaveScum&quot;&gt;That is, to save the game when getting good results from the random number generator and loading when bad things happen, especially the death of soldiers&lt;/ref&gt;. This is dissatisfying to the players and, as the wiki puts it&lt;ref name=&quot;FAQ&quot;&gt;[https://ufoai.org/wiki/Manual:FAQ Project FAQ]&lt;/ref&gt;: &quot;It takes the fear away: and you should be afraid.&quot; It is a different and perhaps harsher approach than the optional iron man mode&lt;ref name=&quot;IronMan&quot;&gt;In iron man mode a game exits when saving and saves when exiting, in theory protecting the player from the temptation to load a save file when something goes wrong. There is only one save file for a playthrough and many games will automatically update the save file as soon as something bad happens.&lt;/ref&gt; which has been implemented in more recent games in the genre&lt;ref name=&quot;NonFree&quot;&gt;Such as Xenonauts (2014) and XCOM: Enemy Unknown (2012), both non-free games.&lt;/ref&gt;. <br /> ===Multiplayer===<br /> UFO:AI supports multiplayer matches in the Battlescape, with one player taking the role of Phalanx and the other that of the aliens. Team play is also supported; there can be up to three players on each side&lt;ref name=&quot;About&quot;/&gt; and the AI is capable of playing just as it would in a campaign battlescape.<br /> <br /> ==Editor==<br /> The game has a map editor, called UFORadiant&lt;ref name=&quot;Radiant&quot;&gt;[https://ufoai.org/wiki/Mapping Mapping overview] in the wiki&lt;/ref&gt;.<br /> <br /> ==Strategy==<br /> There is a strategy guide on [https://www.ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=UFO:AI UFOpaedia.org].<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> ===Forerunners===<br /> UFO:AI may be considered as a [[spiritual successor]] to the 1992 non-free game X-COM: UFO Defense which was originally released under the name UFO: Enemy Unknown&lt;ref name=&quot;About&quot;/&gt;. Because of this it may be compared to the UFO: After X series of games from the early 2000's which preceded it, although both took radically different approaches to modernizing the genre. Larger (non-free) commercial games such the Xenonauts series and 2010's XCOM series are younger than UFO:AI and thus obviously did not inspire it.<br /> <br /> ===Origins===<br /> UFO:AI was created using a [[fork | heavily modified]] version of the [[Quake II engine]]&lt;ref name=&quot;About&quot;/&gt; which was released by [[id Software]] under the [[GPL]]&lt;ref name=&quot;QuakeRelease&quot;&gt;[https://games.slashdot.org/story/01/12/22/053211/quake-2-source-code-released-under-the-gpl Slashdot thread] on the GPL release of the [[Quake II engine | Quake II]] source code&lt;/ref&gt;.<br /> ===Current Status===<br /> Although the last stable release is already 4-6 years old at the time of this writing (the last source release from 2014 and data released in 2016)&lt;ref name=&quot;Downloads&quot;&gt;[https://ufoai.org/wiki/Download Download page]&lt;/ref&gt;, the game remains in active development&lt;ref name=&quot;CommitBrowser&quot;&gt;[https://sourceforge.net/p/ufoai/code/commit_browser Commit browser]&lt;/ref&gt; and prospective players would be well advised to get a more recent version.<br /> <br /> ==Developers&lt;ref name=&quot;Contributors&quot;&gt;https://ufoai.org/wiki/Contributors&lt;/ref&gt;==<br /> * Project lead: Martin Gerhardy<br /> * Lead storyline developer: Ryan A.

Each of these may contain a star, or it may be empty. As long as a system contains a star&lt;ref&gt;Here we include stellar remnants&amp;mdash;black holes and neutron stars&amp;mdash;with stars.&lt;/ref&gt; there may be one or more planets. Nebulae on the galactic map obscure vision and over time collapse to form new stars in empty systems. If the game is started in a younger galaxy this may be a relatively frequent occurrence with many nebulae and few stellar remnants. Artificial black holes may be required to build some endgame tech if that is the case.<br /> &lt;!-- TO DO<br /> I playtested this on a young galaxy. Not sure how stellar collapses/supernovae already occur naturally because the forum posts I've seen are dated. There's some kind of supernova bomb monster but perhaps not yet natural stellar evolution in the game. Neutron stars seem unavailable except at world-gen and black holes don't seem to form except artificially or at world-gen.<br /> --&gt;<br /> <br /> There are nine planet types arranged in a ring describing how similar they are. E.g. desert planets are adjacent to tundra and terran planets, terran to both desert and ocean, with sequence Tundra ↔ Desert ↔ Terran ↔ Ocean ↔ ... ↔ Tundra. With early game technology each species lives well on the same type as its homeworld (&quot;Good&quot;), acceptably on most adjacent planets (&quot;Adequate&quot;) and depending on other factors may survive on the next over (&quot;Poor&quot;), while it will rapidly die out on the four remaining types (&quot;Hostile&quot;). Terraforming technology can be used to shift a planet&amp;mdash;one step at a time&amp;mdash;closer to the ideal for its current inhabitants.<br /> <br /> Planets come in sizes ranging from tiny to huge, with uninhabitable (except by inferior &quot;exobot&quot; colony) asteroids belts and gas giants as well. Late-game technology can convert them into habitable worlds. Alternatively gas giants may be used for power generation and asteroid belts may support construction facilities for hollowed-out asteroid ships and inexpensive armor plating. Simply placing outposts on them will allow an empire to extend its supply lines through otherwise empty territory. Larger planets more easily support larger populations but smaller planets get a bonus to supply and larger planets a penalty due to the ease of launching to space. This can be overcome with space elevators.<br /> <br /> Planets may have natural status effects. Especially the most valuable are sometimes inhabited by ancient robotic guardians which indiscriminately shoot at nearby ships.<br /> <br /> Nearby systems are connected by fixed star lanes for ships to travel through. Later in the game technology becomes available to manipulate star lanes&amp;mdash;and even to move entire planets through them.<br /> <br /> Monsters roam the galaxy.<br /> ===Resources===<br /> ====Population====<br /> In FreeOrion, each empire begins with a single species but can incorporate other species into the population by conquest. A planet is inhabited by a single species and each species prefers to live on a particular one of the 9 available planets (except exobots and one species who live on gas giants). The larger a planet and the more suited to the species preference, the larger the population that can be supported. (The population will naturally grow or shrink towards that limit.) Other resources such as research points and industry which a planet can support, are dependent on the size of the population. When the population of a planet focuses on a specific task&amp;mdash;such as research or industry&amp;mdash;they produce more of that resource but it can take time for a focus change to take full effect.&lt;br/&gt;<br /> Species have additional traits making them more or less useful in particular situations. Some species are more tolerant of environments they don't like. Some species are better at defending their planets from invasion or get more out of their ships' weapons. Some are better at research.&lt;br/&gt;<br /> New planets can be colonized either directly by colony ships, or indirectly by first building an outpost and then constructing a colony at the outpost.<br /> ====Industry and stockpile====<br /> The industrial base of a planet provides Production Points, which are spent on constructing ships, buildings, and colonies. Ships also need to be maintained, which is expensive compared to building them. Any excess production points are stockpiled.&lt;br/&gt;<br /> There is a maximum rate at which any item can be built. When a planet has a large number of PPs available, it cannot build one object faster but can build many simultaneously. It is however possible to build slower than the maximum if too few PPs are available.<br /> ====Research====<br /> As with industry, planets can produce research points and any one technology can be researched at a given maximum rate. The tech tree determines which options are currently available based on what has already been researched.<br /> ====Supply====<br /> Planets and outposts can also produce supply. This resource is needed to link planets together for the purpose of internal trade &amp; industry as well as for supplying fleets. Ships outside supply range from the nearest friendly planet will consume fuel when traveling through star lanes. When two or more planets are supply-linked, they share a common industrial pool and those planets building things will draw the excess production points of their neighbors. If planets are not in a supply pool, excess from one pool will have to be dumped into the imperial stockpile which other pools can drain at a limited rate.<br /> ====Detection====<br /> Planets and ships have detection. They are able to see further as the detection limit is upgraded by technology or special buildings and ship parts. Stealth effects make ships and buildings harder to see at a distance.<br /> &lt;!-- TO DO<br /> ===Spacecraft===<br /> Hull series: Basic, Self-gravitating, Robotic, Organic, Energy, Asteroid.<br /> Hardpoints: Weapons, Armor, Shields, Fighters, Equipment<br /> Fuel &amp; Movement<br /> Events<br /> <br /> ===Combat===<br /> Ship combat<br /> Invasion and bombardment<br /> <br /> ===Victory===<br /> Conquest<br /> Technological apotheosis<br /> Capture the flag<br /> <br /> Also: 0.5 is in the process of being released and some of the features (e.g. diplomacy) might need to be integrated here.<br /> --&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Version history==<br /> See [[FreeOrion release history]].<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> *[https://freeorion.org/ FreeOrion wiki]<br /> *[https://freeorion.org/forum/ FreeOrion forum]<br /> *[http://sourceforge.net/projects/freeorion FreeOrion project page] on [http://sourceforge.net/ SourceForge.net]<br /> <br /> {{Repositories<br /> |right<br /> |AUR = freeorion<br /> |Debian = freeorion<br /> |Fedora = freeorion<br /> |Gentoo = games-strategy/freeorion<br /> |Ubuntu = freeorion<br /> |Suse = freeorion<br /> |Mageia = freeorion<br /> |Snap = freeorion<br /> |Flatpak = org.freeorion.FreeOrion<br /> |FreeBSD = freeorion<br /> }}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Games]]<br /> [[Category:Turn-based strategy games]]<br /> [[Category:Science fiction games]]<br /> [[Category:GPL games]]<br /> [[Category:CC BY-SA games]]<br /> [[Category:C++ games]]<br /> [[Category:Python games]]<br /> [[Category:SDL games]]<br /> [[Category:OpenAL games]]<br /> [[Category:FreeOrion]]<br /> [[Category:Games with bots]]</div>

Ships also need to be maintained, which is expensive compared to building them. Any excess production points are stockpiled.&lt;br/&gt;<br /> There is a maximum rate at which any item can be built. When a planet has a large number of PPs available, it cannot build one object faster but can build many simultaneously. It is however possible to build slower than the maximum if too few PPs are available.<br /> ====Research====<br /> As with industry, planets can produce research points and any one technology can be researched at a given maximum rate. The tech tree determines which options are currently available based on what has already been researched.<br /> ====Supply====<br /> Planets and outposts can also produce supply. This resource is needed to link planets together for the purpose of internal trade &amp; industry as well as for supplying fleets. Ships outside supply range from the nearest friendly planet will consume fuel when traveling through star lanes. When two or more planets are supply-linked, they share a common industrial pool and those planets building things will draw the excess production points of their neighbors. If planets are not in a supply pool, excess from one pool will have to be dumped into the imperial stockpile which other pools can drain at a limited rate.<br /> ====Detection====<br /> Planets and ships have detection. They are able to see further as the detection limit is upgraded by technology or special buildings and ship parts. Stealth effects make ships and buildings harder to see at a distance.<br /> &lt;!-- TO DO<br /> ===Spacecraft===<br /> Hull series: Basic, Self-gravitating, Robotic, Organic, Energy, Asteroid.<br /> Hardpoints: Weapons, Armor, Shields, Fighters, Equipment<br /> Fuel &amp; Movement<br /> Events<br /> <br /> ===Combat===<br /> Ship combat<br /> Invasion and bombardment<br /> <br /> ===Victory===<br /> Conquest<br /> Technological apotheosis<br /> Capture the flag<br /> <br /> Also: 0.5 is in the process of being released and some of the features (e.g. diplomacy) might need to be integrated here.<br /> --&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Version history==<br /> See [[FreeOrion release history]].<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> *[https://freeorion.org/ FreeOrion wiki]<br /> *[https://freeorion.org/forum/ FreeOrion forum]<br /> *[http://sourceforge.net/projects/freeorion FreeOrion project page] on [http://sourceforge.net/ SourceForge.net]<br /> <br /> {{Repositories<br /> |right<br /> |AUR = freeorion<br /> |Debian = freeorion<br /> |Fedora = freeorion<br /> |Gentoo = games-strategy/freeorion<br /> |Ubuntu = freeorion<br /> |Suse = freeorion<br /> |Mageia = freeorion<br /> |Snap = freeorion<br /> |Flatpak = org.freeorion.FreeOrion<br /> |FreeBSD = freeorion<br /> }}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Games]]<br /> [[Category:Turn-based strategy games]]<br /> [[Category:Science fiction games]]<br /> [[Category:GPL games]]<br /> [[Category:CC BY-SA games]]<br /> [[Category:C++ games]]<br /> [[Category:Python games]]<br /> [[Category:SDL games]]<br /> [[Category:OpenAL games]]<br /> [[Category:FreeOrion]]</div>

Their licenses could be considered a bit problematic, since as far as I understand, they forbids selling the games individually, although it allows commercial distribution of the games the games together with something else (doesn't matter what). Debian Free Software Guidelines considers the licenses free as in freedom, although I don't think Free Software Foundation or Open Source Initiative does.<br /> :This is my personal opinion. I took a look at Beneath a steel sky license. It seems harmless enough but the actual distributed files are 2 binary blobs so I doubt this satisfies freedom. Perhaps one could learn how to untangle the blobs by finding out what ScummVM does with them but that seems like a lot of work. ([http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#SILOFL Here's] one license that states that a font cannot be distributed alone but the FSF says this isn't a problem because it can be bundled with a hello world, so I think this clause seems analoguous to that.)

It's not the actual kkrieger code, and incorporates changes that were done more than one year after the original kkrieger release. It was, however, branched off before we started not caring about breaking kkrieger compatibility when making changes. You have a better chance of building the game from there than you do from the &quot;regular&quot; werkkzeug3 tree - though both are unlikely to work. If someone really wants a close-to-original werkkzeug3 kkrieger tree, it should be possible to dig up something from 2004 :)&quot;''.

Several games for Minetest have already been made, almost all of them are FOSS. https://content.minetest.net/packages/?type=game<br /> Currently, only one game for Minetest, [[Minetest Game]] has an article (it's the current &quot;default&quot; game). I have been very hesitant with adding the other games because most games are not that good, or they are experimental, in early alpha stage or have other problems. But in the long run, the better games need showcasing in this wiki as well, it's just that I'm waiting for games that are “worth” an article. But I like to hear your opinion on that as well.<br /> <br /> There's also a special case I want to discuss: Inside The Box (https://minetest.foo-projects.org/). It's a puzzle game for Minetest, but you can currently only play it online by joining the “Inside The Box” server in Minetest. It's definitely one of the better Minetest games, but since it's online-only, it's kind of problematic. Technically, it's a SAASS game, the administrator controls everything, so I pretty much doubt it would qualify. The source code is in the open, and you can run your own server, media files are also libre. But the release has not a single level (you are supposed to build them yourselves ...) . The server contains &gt;100 community-created levels and the administrator hasn't released them. Another question which hasn't been asked publicly yet is the copyright status of those levels. Would be an interesting question. Although I highly doubt Inside The Box qualifies for LibreGameWiki right now, I thought I at least mention it to you for discussion, I am especially interested if you agree with my SAASS label. Forum topic: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?t=18406<br /> <br /> Note: I am a developer of some Minetest games and sometimes Minetest itself. --[[User:Wuzzy|Wuzzy]] ([[User talk:Wuzzy|talk]]) 19:37, 21 July 2020 (CEST)<br /> <br /> == Free Hero Mesh ==<br /> <br /> I wrote Free Hero Mesh, which is a free-software/open-source puzzle game engine, for games such as sokoban and Hero Hearts. Does it fit in the [[Sokoban-style games]] section, or in a &quot;game engines&quot; section? It is probably now in a state that it can be used normally, even though there are still some things to add (and possibly things to fix). --[[Special:Contributions/24.207.14.22|24.207.14.22]] 06:35, 15 April 2021 (CEST)<br /> :I haven't tried it and only read your brief description, but I'd say &quot;2D engines&quot;.

Which is »Licensed for personal non-commercial use only.« Isn't putting the game under GPL a violation of the license/EULA? Kribbel (talk) 13:43, 17 December 2022 (CET)&quot;)<br /> :TL;DR: I don't think it's a major problem. Lots of free games run in non-free environments. If Adventuron does compile parts of itself into the binaries&amp;mdash;and I haven't even checked if it generates binaries&amp;mdash;then you must only distribute in source code form.&lt;br/&gt;<br /> :First a tangent (with reason): GPL violation is only possible in the case where the game happens to reuse code from another GPL program and does not have an exception for it (a problem for a game jam anyway). In general the GPL system library exception will allow you to develop in non-free environments, but would not apply to this case since I don't think &quot;Adventuron Classroom&quot; counts in itself as any kind of operating system. (If it's a full-on virtual machine that changes things. E.g. Inform games run in a simulated &quot;Z-machine&quot; which counts as their operating environment even though you run the Z-code interpreter on your PC.) However, the GPL only applies to what is distributed with the program and the author of code can NOT violate the license thereof, though he may violate the license of whatever is distributed with it. Whoever holds the copyright can give you permission to use the code with anything at all, including linking it to other programs as a GPL exception. Distributing binaries even without a GPL exception is fine as well, provided those binaries do not include any of the Adventuron Classroom code but only run inside of it. [https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#NonFreeTools] [https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#WindowsRuntimeAndGPL]&lt;br/&gt;<br /> :Back to the main point, notice how everything I said above applies to what you do with the GPL program. The author gives permission (which you would otherwise not have) to distribute the game under certain conditions. Those conditions do not say anything about what you are allowed to do or not do with the system libraries, virtual machine hosts, emulators, compilers, interpreters, etc. inside of which or in conjunction with which it is used. It cannot. If the conditions of the latter are sufficiently incompatible with the conditions of the former it might be impossible for you to run or copy the game without violating one or the other&amp;mdash;but that would be your catch-22 and not the game author's. Now here the author(s) of that environment care that it cannot be used commercially, which you should not, but you can do even commercial work with the ''source code of the game itself'' (e.g. port it to raw C++ for selling copies) and with its binaries you can do the same IF they do not include any part of Adventuron (e.g. put them in a GPL-compatible wrapper/emulator to run without having Adventuron and sell copies, or distribute bare copies to users who must provide their own copy of Adventuron or write their own compatibility layers). GPL applies to distribution and not use, of course. [[User:FacelessLinuxUser|FacelessLinuxUser]] ([[User talk:FacelessLinuxUser|talk]]) 17:59, 17 December 2022 (CET)</div>

As is typical for 4X games, players have to explore their surroundings, colonize new planets, manage their economies, research spectacular technologies, build up military might and conquer their neighbors, and ultimately, the entire galaxy. Features specific to FreeOrion are the diverse fantastical species and peculiar history of the game galaxy, the design of new ships with a multitude of hulls and ship parts available after research, and the possibility of technological victory after researching transcendence.<br /> <br /> There is an impressive in-game encyclopaedia and most things can be looked up by clicking hyperlinks in messages or through right-click menus. The encyclopaedia includes both generic FreeOrion help and backstory as well as current game info such as for example what the target population of a particular planet would be if you were to colonize it with each of the species in your empire.<br /> <br /> The game's source code is licensed under the [[GNU General Public License|GPL v2]] and its media under the [[Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike|Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 license]].&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.freeorion.org/index.php/FreeOrionWiki:Copyrights License page] in [http://www.freeorion.org/ FreeOrion's wiki]&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;Debian's [http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs//main/f/freeorion/testing_copyright FreeOrion copyright file]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;!-- TO DO<br /> ==Story==<br /> Broad overview of setting and some examples from species backstory<br /> --&gt;<br /> ==Gameplay==<br /> ===The galaxy===<br /> The galaxy is a 2D region divided into a number of systems as decided before game start. Each of these may contain a star, or it may be empty. As long as a system contains a star&lt;ref&gt;Here we include stellar remnants&amp;mdash;black holes and neutron stars&amp;mdash;with stars.&lt;/ref&gt; there may be one or more planets. Nebulae on the galactic map obscure vision and over time collapse to form new stars in empty systems. If the game is started in a younger galaxy this may be a relatively frequent occurrence with many nebulae and few stellar remnants. Artificial black holes may be required to build some endgame tech if that is the case.<br /> &lt;!-- TO DO<br /> I playtested this on a young galaxy. Not sure how stellar collapses/supernovae already occur naturally because the forum posts I've seen are dated. There's some kind of supernova bomb monster but perhaps not yet natural stellar evolution in the game. Neutron stars seem unavailable except at world-gen and black holes don't seem to form except artificially or at world-gen.<br /> --&gt;<br /> <br /> There are nine planet types arranged in a ring describing how similar they are. E.g. desert planets are adjacent to tundra and terran planets, terran to both desert and ocean, with sequence Tundra ↔ Desert ↔ Terran ↔ Ocean ↔ ... ↔ Tundra. With early game technology each species lives well on the same type as its homeworld (&quot;Good&quot;), acceptably on most adjacent planets (&quot;Adequate&quot;) and depending on other factors may survive on the next over (&quot;Poor&quot;), while it will rapidly die out on the four remaining types (&quot;Hostile&quot;). Terraforming technology can be used to shift a planet&amp;mdash;one step at a time&amp;mdash;closer to the ideal for its current inhabitants.<br /> <br /> Planets come in sizes ranging from tiny to huge, with uninhabitable (except by inferior &quot;exobot&quot; colony) asteroids belts and gas giants as well. Late-game technology can convert them into habitable worlds. Alternatively gas giants may be used for power generation and asteroid belts may support construction facilities for hollowed-out asteroid ships and inexpensive armor plating. Simply placing outposts on them will allow an empire to extend its supply lines through otherwise empty territory. Larger planets more easily support larger populations but smaller planets get a bonus to supply and larger planets a penalty due to the ease of launching to space.

Games made with OpenRA are internally still called mods. The engine comes with three included mods: &lt;tt&gt;ra&lt;/tt&gt; (Command &amp; Conquer: Red Alert), &lt;tt&gt;cnc&lt;/tt&gt; (Command &amp; Conquer: Tiberian Dawn) and &lt;tt&gt;d2k&lt;/tt&gt; (Dune 2000) with &lt;tt&gt;ts&lt;/tt&gt; (Command &amp; Conquer: Tiberian Sun) in development which includes an isometric perspective with terrain heights.<br /> <br /> The game engine is sometimes criticized for not being accurate to the originals. That is due to the nature of it being a clean-room reimplementation relying solely on observing the original games instead of disassembling the original binaries.&lt;ref&gt;https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/wiki/FAQ#is-that-legal&lt;/ref&gt; The OpenRA project also predates Electronic Arts source code release when publishing the Command &amp; Conquer Remastered Collection.<br /> <br /> Rendering is done using [[OpenGL]].&lt;ref&gt;https://blog.codeinside.eu/2014/10/15/Command-n-Conquer-as-Open-Source-Game-In-C-Sharp/&lt;/ref&gt; Platform independence is achieved through the .NET runtime and [[SDL]].&lt;ref&gt;https://delftswa.github.io/chapters/openra/&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> OpenRA uses a concept of configurable traits which can be attached to actors. This even more data-driven approach was inspired by later titles such as Command &amp; Conquer: Generals. Instead of XML of the SAGE engine or INI of the Westwood 2D era, it relies on ''MiniYAML'', a dialect inspired by YAML with major differences in semantics. Traits can interact with each other using interfaces in the API, but also using conditions using only configuration of the game rules.<br /> <br /> Tools to aid the modders in developing MiniYAML rules and Lua scripts are available for Visual Studio Code&lt;ref&gt;https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/publishers/openra&lt;/ref&gt; and compatible editors.&lt;ref&gt;https://open-vsx.org/extension/openra/vscode-openra-lua&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Content==<br /> Various third-party mods exists, but due to the sheer number of sprites required to make a real-time strategy game, most projects rely on the original artwork and add on top of that. Few artists use open content licenses.&lt;ref&gt;https://www.moddb.com/games/openra/mods&lt;/ref&gt; The default games also rely on the original game content. As many older Command &amp; Conquer titles were released as Freeware downloads to promote the later titles in marketing events, community mirrors are set in place, allowing for a convenient download of a minimal subset required to play on first game start. The legality was later clarified by Electronic Arts releasing guidelines for modding their line of Command &amp; Conquer games.&lt;ref&gt;https://www.openra.net/legal/&lt;/ref&gt; Alternative sources for the complete assets (including music and FMV) are digital downloads and the original game discs, which can be automatically extracted from within the game UI.&lt;ref&gt;https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/wiki/Game-Content&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> * [[OpenHV]], a total conversion where all the assets are Open Source<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> * [https://www.openra.net/ official website]<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{Reflist}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:C Sharp engines]]<br /> [[Category:Lua engines]]<br /> [[Category:SDL engines]]<br /> [[Category:Online multiplayer engines]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:GPL engines]]<br /> [[Category:2D engines]]<br /> [[Category:Real-time strategy engines]]</div>

Each race has its own unique characteristics along with their own weaknesses and strengths.<br /> <br /> The game maps are structured as hex grids. The defensive strength of a unit is affected by its race and the terrain it stands on. For example, Elves have a very strong defense value in the forest while they are extremely vulnerable in water.<br /> <br /> It also has some RPG elements. Individual units can gain experience in battles. When they reach a certain amount, they level up and become stronger. With the recall option(Only available in campaigns), it becomes possible to call back veteran units from earlier levels if they didn't die in combat.<br /> <br /> The night and day cycle also affects some of the races' power. For example, Orcs are best at night, Humans at day. This is known as the alignment of a unit.<br /> <br /> There are single-player campaigns as well as various multiplayer game modes.<br /> <br /> ==Factions and Eras==<br /> <br /> A ''faction'' is a group of unit types a player can recruit. Players select their faction before starting the game. There is also the possibility to select a &quot;Random&quot; faction, which means that a random faction will be selected for this player. The advantage of playing with a random faction is that with fog of war, the opponent does not know the player's faction until their armies first meet.<br /> <br /> An ''era'' is a group of factions balanced against each other. An Era is selected before starting the game, and players can choose only factions from this era. The game contains three eras with the download: ''Default'', ''Age of Heroes'', and ''Great War''. The first two eras contain six factions: ''Loyalists, Rebels, Northerners, Undead, Knalgans'', and ''Drakes''; the difference is that Default era allows recruiting only low-level units, where as Age of Heroes allows also recruiting higher-level units. The Great War era contains only two factions: ''Alliance of Light'', and ''Alliance of Darkness''.<br /> <br /> === Age of Heroes ===<br /> <br /> * '''Loyalists''': Mostly Humans of the Wesnoth kingdom; plus some Mermen, and (in Age of Heroes) Ogres.<br /> * '''Rebels''': Mostly forest Elves; plus Human mages, Woses, and some Mermen.<br /> * '''Northerners''': Trolls, Orcs, Goblins, and Nagas.<br /> * '''Undead''': Skeletons and other undead, as well as Human dark adepts.<br /> * '''Knalgans''': Dwarves, Human outlaws, and Gryphon riders.<br /> * '''Drakes''': Drakes and Saurians.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Wose.png|thumb|200px|right|Wose: A tree‐like creature in the ''rebel'' faction]]<br /> <br /> === Great War ===<br /> <br /> * '''Alliance of Light''': Loyalists + Rebels + some Knalgans. (Available only in the Great War era.)<br /> * '''Alliance of Darkness''': Undead + Northerners + some Knalgans. (Available only in the Great War era.)<br /> <br /> Players sometimes refer to factions as &quot;races&quot;, which is incorrect, because there can be units of multiple races in one faction (such as Elves, Humans, and Woses in the Rebels faction), and units of the Human race appear in many factions.<br /> <br /> In single-player mode, each campaign can specify a different set of recruitable units. This set can change during the campaign, reflecting the campaign plot. Although these sets can be similar to multiplayer factions, they do not depend on them.<br /> <br /> It is possible to create user-defined factions and eras, or to download them as &quot;Add-ons&quot; from the campaign server.<br /> <br /> ==Mods==<br /> ''Wesnoth'' has extensive support for mods.<br /> All contents for the game are stored as .cfg files, which are written in WML, or WesnothMarkupLanguage.<br /> This allows any user to edit units, campaigns, races, attributes, savefiles, user interface layout or maps.&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.wesnoth.org/wiki/ReferenceWML The WML reference page]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> It also allows a user to create new content, which could eventually change every aspect of the game.<br /> Also, there is a Wesnoth editor that allows users to create new maps.<br /> <br /> ==Campaigns==<br /> <br /> There are many campaigns that are included with the official distribution of the game. Official campaigns for the game change over time. These include&lt;ref&gt;https://wiki.wesnoth.org/Mainline_Campaigns&lt;/ref&gt;:<br /> <br /> *'''A Tale of Two Brothers''': A beginner campaign about a knight who attempts to rescue his brother from an evil mage.<br /> <br /> *'''The South Guard''': An introductory campaign in which a young knight takes command of the South Guard.<br /> <br /> *'''Heir to the Throne''': The first and earliest campaign as well as the most developed and popular in ''The Battle for Wesnoth''. It is about a supposed heir to the throne of ''Wesnoth'', Konrad, against the evil queen of ''Wesnoth'', Asheviere.<br /> <br /> *'''The Rise of Wesnoth''': This campaign features Prince Haldric, the first king and founder of ''Wesnoth''.<br /> <br /> *'''The Eastern Invasion''': A knight of the Wesnoth kingdom, Gweddry, attempts to save Wesnoth from the undead invasion.<br /> <br /> *'''Under the Burning Suns''': This campaign is set in the far distant future of ''Wesnoth'' when there are two stars in the sky. The Elves in the campaign are adapted to the deserts. They are different from the other Elves normally found in the game.<br /> <br /> *'''Son of the Black Eye''': The son of a famous orcish chief is attacked by Elves, Dwarves, Undead, and Humans. He must unite all the orcish tribes to defeat them.<br /> <br /> *'''An Orcish Incursion''': The elves defend their forest against the first orcs to reach the continent.<br /> <br /> *'''The Hammer of Thursagan''': An expedition seeks to learn the fate of The Hammer of Thursagan.<br /> <br /> *'''Descent into Darkness''': A young boy uses neocromancy to save his people from orcish invaders.<br /> <br /> &lt;!-- TO DO<br /> *'''Liberty''':<br /> --&gt;<br /> *'''Dead Water''': A young merman king must repel an undead invasion.<br /> <br /> &lt;!-- TO DO<br /> *'''Delfador's Memoirs''':<br /> *'''The Scepter of Fire''':<br /> *'''Legend of Wesmere''':<br /> *'''Secrets of the Ancients''':<br /> *'''Northern Rebirth''':<br /> --&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Development and design==<br /> The game design follows the principle of [[KISS]] (Keep It Simple, Stupid).&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.wesnoth.org/wiki/WesnothPhilosophy The History of, and Philosophy behind ''Wesnoth''] which explains ''Wesnoth's'' success in reaching release version 1.0&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> The design is influenced by two ''Sega Genesis'' games, ''Master of Monsters'' and ''Warsong''. David White took some of their ideas and added his own. After the game design was formulated, he then started writing Wesnoth.&lt;ref&gt;[https://web.archive.org/web/20061023125035/http://www.pctechtalk.com/?m=show&amp;id=3948 Interview with David White at PCTechTalk]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> The developer community of Wesnoth also attracts a few famous developers from the general Free software and Open Source community such as Open Source Initiative co-founder [[Eric S. Raymond]].&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.wesnoth.org/wiki/Credits#Programming ''Wesnoth'' credits page] - A very comprehensive list of all the contributors to ''Wesnoth''&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ''Wesnoth'' only has two versions out at any time: development and stable. Development is a branch that boasts the latest features and graphical updates while stable is the maintenance release, thus getting only bug fixes and other minor enhancements. Currently, 1.15.x is obsoleted as a development series the 1.16 stable branch has just been released.&lt;ref&gt;https://forums.wesnoth.org/viewtopic.php?t=55004&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;https://forums.wesnoth.org/viewtopic.php?t=55254&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Wesnoth also has one of the most active and largest development teams in the Free gaming community. Ohloh recorded the Wesnoth team as one of the largest in the world, in the top 2% of all teams on Ohloh.&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.ohloh.net/projects/3175/factoids/218515 Factoids at Ohloh about Wesnoth]&lt;/ref&gt; CIA.vc recorded 8098 commits and a commit every hour on average since it started recording 1.24 years ago as of September 9, 2007.&lt;ref&gt;[https://web.archive.org/web/20070613172438/http://cia.vc/stats/project/wesnoth Archived Wesnoth stats at CIA.vc]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> ===Summer Programs===<br /> The project was fortunate enough to be a mentor organization in Google’s Summer of code program for 2008, 2009, and 2010.<br /> <br /> The 2008 program helped creates an API for programming smarter and pluggable AIs and a revamped map editor.&lt;ref&gt;[http://code.google.com/p/google-summer-of-code-2008-wesnoth/downloads/list downloadable Google Summer of Code projects for Wesnoth]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> In addition to Google's program, the Wesnoth project set up a summer program for students who want to work on Wesnoth's art projects.&lt;ref name=&quot;art&quot;&gt;[https://www.wesnoth.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&amp;t=25836 Announcement for the 2009 Wesnoth Summer Art Scholarship program on June 13{{th}}, 2009] accessed on June 20{{th}}, 2009&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Release history===<br /> The Wesnoth team only releases a new version of the game when it is done. As a result, the frequency of releases tends to vary over the years. 2004 is noted as the most productive year in terms of number of releases.<br /> <br /> The earliest known dated version know is version 0.1 which was released on June 18&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;, 2003.&lt;ref&gt;[http://freshmeat.net/projects/wesnoth/releases?page=5 The Battle for Wesnoth's freshmeat page]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> A physical version of the game on disc has been released by [[ADVPlans]].<br /> <br /> See [[Battle for Wesnoth release history]].<br /> <br /> ===Contributors===<br /> Other than David White himself, others also play significant roles in the development of the game. However, the contributors to the project are too many to name all of them.<br /> <br /> But to name a few:<br /> <br /> *Jetryl, also known as [[Richard Kettering]] is the current lead artist of the Battle for Wesnoth project.<br /> *[[Aleksi Aubry-Carlson]] is responsible for much of the music in The Battle for Wesnoth.<br /> *[[Nils Kneuper]] (also known as Ivanovic) is the release manager of the project.<br /> <br /> For more, see [[Battle for Wesnoth contributors]].<br /> <br /> ===Funding===<br /> At one time or another, members of the Wesnoth team sought to raise funds to help the project. One such effort is selling ''Battle for Wesnoth'' merchandise via Cafepress. It is unclear how effective this effort is or how many items have been sold. The merchandise appears to have outdated graphics for the current generation of ''The Battle for Wesnoth''. It appears that Francisco Muñoz (fmunoz), is involved with this effort in some way.&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.cafepress.com/wesnoth Wesnoth's cafepress store]&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;[http://wesnoth.whitevine.net/ Announcement of merchandise availability on August 31, 2003]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> The Wesnoth project also started taking donations as early as March 31, 2004.&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.wesnoth.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1076 Donation thread]&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.wesnoth.org/wiki/donate Wesnoth's page for donation]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Another effort to raise funds was to put up advertisement. David White solicited the Wesnoth community's opinions about advertising on June 28, 2007. The majority of the community seem to give approval on certain conditions that the advertising are not obnoxious. At one time, google ads appeared on the Wesnoth site. However, the ads eventually disappeared.&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.wesnoth.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=16917&amp;postdays=0&amp;postorder=asc&amp;highlight=donation&amp;start=60 Discussion about ads]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Another source of funding come from developer [[Kyle Poole]], who ported Wesnoth to the Iphone and Ipad platform. Part of the earning he received from sale of these ports went to the project.&lt;ref&gt;[http://forums.wesnoth.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=29343 Ipad port wesnoth thread] accessed on [[2010#May|May 27{{th}}, 2010]].&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;[http://forums.wesnoth.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=28777 Iphone port wesnoth thread] accessed on [[2010#May|May 27{{th}}, 2010]].&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> The wesnoth project used the funds for their various project needs, including an art scholarship program.&lt;ref name =&quot;art&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Receptions==<br /> ''Wesnoth'' is one of the most famous video games of the [[Free software|Free]] gaming scene.

If I'm correct, this wiki is currently under two licenses which contradict each other on the question of copyleft, which is confusing. Why wasn't the CC-BY-SA license chosen for LGW? This would allow relevant to content to be imported from and exported to Wikipedia and other CC-BY-SA sites (with appropriate attribution of course). --[[User:Strypey|Strypey]] ([[User talk:Strypey|talk]]) 08:04, 11 January 2014 (CET)<br /> <br /> : The CC-BY was chosen to make it easy for third parties to use content from LibreGameWiki. The GFDL was considered non-free by Debian and Debian is quite an authority as the Open Source Definition is based on Debian guidelines. It was kept as alternative to make it easy to copy content from LibreGameWiki to Wikipedia. Wikipedia and the FSF later pulled a stunt of releasing a new version of the GFDL with the Lex Wikipedia clause, allowing Wikipedia to move to a completely different license. LGW content, however, was licensed as GFDL 1.2 without the backdoor &quot;or later&quot;. And personally, after this stunt, I don't think &quot;or later&quot; is a good idea at all. --[[User:Gamfan|Gamfan]] ([[User talk:Gamfan|talk]]) 08:16, 11 January 2014 (CET)<br /> <br /> :: For the record, the change to the GFDL was made to allow Wikipedia (and other multi-collaborator works) to dual-license with CC-BY-SA, which is identical to the GFDL where it counts (eg attribution, copyleft), although it happens to lacks the &quot;invariant sections&quot; and &quot;transparency&quot; terms that made Debian declare the GFDL non-free. Both CC-BY and CC-BY-SA are free culture licenses: http://creativecommons.org/freeworks Practically speaking, the purpose of having a wiki under a license is to inform the user about what they can and can't do with its contents. The GFDL tells the user they must put derivative works under the same license (copyleft), while the CC-BY says they don't. This is confusing. Can I use sections of LGW within an ARR (All-Rights-Reserved) work or not? Is this wiki copyleft, or it isn't? If it is copyleft, shouldn't the CC-BY-SA needs to be used to let the user know that? If it isn't copyleft, shouldn't the GFDL be dropped to make this clear? --[[User:Strypey|Strypey]] ([[User talk:Strypey|talk]]) 05:49, 12 January 2014 (CET)<br /> <br /> ::: It is very simple: If you you contribute to LibreGameWiki, you must license your work as CC-BY und GFDL. If you want to use content from LGW, you can pick the license you want to comply with. Please keep in mind that copyleft is only one of the difference between the licenses (please read the full text of both licenses to learn about other demands required by each of the licenses). --[[User:Gamfan|Gamfan]] ([[User talk:Gamfan|talk]]) 13:21, 12 January 2014 (CET)<br /> <br /> :::: I intended to answer, but I got an edit conflict earlier. Anyway, some points:<br /> ::::* Being CC-BY licensed, this wiki's text can be contributed to Wikipedia if properly attributed: see [http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Frequently_Asked_Questions#Can_I_include_a_work_licensed_with_CC_BY_in_a_Wikipedia_article_even_though_they_use_a_CC_BY-SA_license.3F CC FAQ] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Compatible_license#Can_I_add_something_to_Wikipedia_that_I_got_from_somewhere_else.3F Wikipedia copyright FAQ].<br /> ::::*Wikipedia is not entirely dual-licensed: all of it is available under CC-BY-SA (except the ''fairly used'' stuff). On the other hand, the GFDL does not necessarily apply to text added after the project voted to use the CC license - you have to check this yourself if you'd like to use a Wikipedia article under the GFDL.<br /> <br /> :::::: I'm pretty sure this is incorrect. When I edit Wikipedia it says &quot;By clicking the &quot;Save page&quot; button, you agree to the Terms of Use and you irrevocably agree to release your contribution under the CC BY-SA 3.0 License *and* the GFDL...&quot; (emphasis mine) --[[User:Strypey|Strypey]] ([[User talk:Strypey|talk]]) 10:50, 6 November 2015 (CET)<br /> <br /> ::::*As I recall, Debian only considers the GFDL non-free if there are invariant sections involved, see [http://www.debian.org/vote/2006/vote_001 this vote]. What is the problematic &quot;transparency&quot; term?<br /> ::::*The lack of a &quot;or later&quot; clause precludes our stuff from being used in the [http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Main_Page Free Software Directory].

If there was a consensus among all LGW copyright holders, the content could be relicensed under any license they choose. This would not revoke previous licenses on the same content, but would apply to all existing content, and only the new license would apply to new content. As I said initially, I can't see the benefit of using CC-BY for a collaborative reference wiki, and I think CC-BY-SA would be a better choice, as it means any improvements made in derivative works are available to be backported into LGW. --[[User:Strypey|Strypey]] ([[User talk:Strypey|talk]]) 10:50, 6 November 2015 (CET)<br /> <br /> == Libregamewiki uses an invalid security certificate ==<br /> <br /> Hi, I do not know if the Community portal is the right place to report this type of problem.

If so, it would be good to remove that warning, as there is a lot of useful material about libre games that could be imported to this wiki. <br /> <br /> This is particularly important in view of the massive pruning of Wikipedia that appears to be going on, with many articles being deleted on the basis that their subject is not &quot;notable&quot; enough to have a page in an Encyclopedia.

The anonymous user recently working on the Liberated Pixel Cup page, and two weeks ago even the registered user Lanadapter got on the block list, presumably because they made a series of small edits in a short time.

I see the [[OpenMW]] article was deleted on the basis that it requires the original game files. However my understanding from the article policy is that engines are allowed on Libre Game Wiki even if there are no games for them--and so the question is probably obvious. It is possible to run a total conversion mod on OpenMW with no use of the proprietary data. There are as I understand it some example games in development but nothing concrete. The newer versions of the construction kit can, as I understand it, also create these games standalone without any use of the proprietary Bethesda software. Would it not be appropriate to create an article on the engine?

Screenshot guidelines for LGW already specify that we should show only the game itself and not include window borders, which takes care of the skin problem for games I can think of. There should rarely (never?) be any reason for the screenshot to include anything which isn't displayed as part of the game per se, which means everything would have to be free since game assets have to be free per LGW policy.<br /> :An image of artwork is a derivative work of said artwork. Hence any screenshot or video of a game is at least to an extent a derivative work of the game assets displayed. Note that even text games would qualify&amp;mdash;assuming the text is long enough to be copyrightable. There's a little bit of leeway where you might have to claim fair use. E.g. if a game contains two textures of which one is CC-BY-SA 3.0 and the other GPLv2, both are free but not compatible.

This means when one purges the list when logged in, it only updates for logged in users. For those not logged in it stays not updated. This is especially problematic because most visitors of LibreGameWiki will certainly access the lists not logged in because they even don't own an account. For example the list [[Board games]] which I probably purged after making changes to OpenKropki on 2022-11-11 by adding categories. <br /> &lt;gallery caption=&quot;Differences when logged in and not on 2022-12-06&quot;&gt;<br /> File:Board_games_2022-12-06_logged_in.png |Everything looks fine at the bottom of the list Board games when logged in.<br /> File:Board_games_2022-12-06_not_logged_in.png |All the old errors caused by references not using unique names are still visible when not logged in. <br /> File:Board_games__2022-12-06_logged_in_2.png |Pentobi has the release date 2022-01-21 and OpenKropki 2020-11-19 when logged in. <br /> File:Board_games_2022-12-06_not_logged_in_2.png |Pentobi has the release date 2021-12-05 and OpenKropki isn't even there when not logged in.<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> I therefore think that LibreGameWiki would benefit from a '''little program that regularly purges''' those '''lists automatically for logged in and not logged in users'''. The section Recently released games or respectively the list [[New_games_and_releases|New games and releases]] should be purged at least daily while for the (other) lists in Genre menu a longer period would be sufficient, a week, a fortnight or maybe even a month.

If I'm correct, this wiki is currently under two licenses which contradict each other on the question of copyleft, which is confusing. Why wasn't the CC-BY-SA license chosen for LGW? This would allow relevant to content to be imported from and exported to Wikipedia and other CC-BY-SA sites (with appropriate attribution of course). --[[User:Strypey|Strypey]] ([[User talk:Strypey|talk]]) 08:04, 11 January 2014 (CET)<br /> <br /> : The CC-BY was chosen to make it easy for third parties to use content from LibreGameWiki. The GFDL was considered non-free by Debian and Debian is quite an authority as the Open Source Definition is based on Debian guidelines. It was kept as alternative to make it easy to copy content from LibreGameWiki to Wikipedia. Wikipedia and the FSF later pulled a stunt of releasing a new version of the GFDL with the Lex Wikipedia clause, allowing Wikipedia to move to a completely different license. LGW content, however, was licensed as GFDL 1.2 without the backdoor &quot;or later&quot;. And personally, after this stunt, I don't think &quot;or later&quot; is a good idea at all. --[[User:Gamfan|Gamfan]] ([[User talk:Gamfan|talk]]) 08:16, 11 January 2014 (CET)<br /> <br /> :: For the record, the change to the GFDL was made to allow Wikipedia (and other multi-collaborator works) to dual-license with CC-BY-SA, which is identical to the GFDL where it counts (eg attribution, copyleft), although it happens to lacks the &quot;invariant sections&quot; and &quot;transparency&quot; terms that made Debian declare the GFDL non-free. Both CC-BY and CC-BY-SA are free culture licenses: http://creativecommons.org/freeworks Practically speaking, the purpose of having a wiki under a license is to inform the user about what they can and can't do with its contents. The GFDL tells the user they must put derivative works under the same license (copyleft), while the CC-BY says they don't. This is confusing. Can I use sections of LGW within an ARR (All-Rights-Reserved) work or not? Is this wiki copyleft, or it isn't? If it is copyleft, shouldn't the CC-BY-SA needs to be used to let the user know that? If it isn't copyleft, shouldn't the GFDL be dropped to make this clear? --[[User:Strypey|Strypey]] ([[User talk:Strypey|talk]]) 05:49, 12 January 2014 (CET)<br /> <br /> ::: It is very simple: If you you contribute to LibreGameWiki, you must license your work as CC-BY und GFDL.

On the other hand, the GFDL does not necessarily apply to text added after the project voted to use the CC license - you have to check this yourself if you'd like to use a Wikipedia article under the GFDL.<br /> <br /> :::::: I'm pretty sure this is incorrect. When I edit Wikipedia it says &quot;By clicking the &quot;Save page&quot; button, you agree to the Terms of Use and you irrevocably agree to release your contribution under the CC BY-SA 3.0 License *and* the GFDL...&quot; (emphasis mine) --[[User:Strypey|Strypey]] ([[User talk:Strypey|talk]]) 10:50, 6 November 2015 (CET)<br /> <br /> ::::*As I recall, Debian only considers the GFDL non-free if there are invariant sections involved, see [http://www.debian.org/vote/2006/vote_001 this vote]. What is the problematic &quot;transparency&quot; term?<br /> ::::*The lack of a &quot;or later&quot; clause precludes our stuff from being used in the [http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Main_Page Free Software Directory].

If there was a consensus among all LGW copyright holders, the content could be relicensed under any license they choose. This would not revoke previous licenses on the same content, but would apply to all existing content, and only the new license would apply to new content. As I said initially, I can't see the benefit of using CC-BY for a collaborative reference wiki, and I think CC-BY-SA would be a better choice, as it means any improvements made in derivative works are available to be backported into LGW. --[[User:Strypey|Strypey]] ([[User talk:Strypey|talk]]) 10:50, 6 November 2015 (CET)<br /> <br /> == Libregamewiki uses an invalid security certificate ==<br /> <br /> Hi, I do not know if the Community portal is the right place to report this type of problem.

If so, it would be good to remove that warning, as there is a lot of useful material about libre games that could be imported to this wiki. <br /> <br /> This is particularly important in view of the massive pruning of Wikipedia that appears to be going on, with many articles being deleted on the basis that their subject is not &quot;notable&quot; enough to have a page in an Encyclopedia. This problem has disturbed Wikipedians enough that one (or a group?) has set up the [http://speedydeletion.wikia.com/wiki/Speedy_deletion_Wiki SpeedyDeletion] wiki to rescue pages before they are removed, in case their contents are still of interest to other wikis like this one.<br /> --[[User:Strypey|Strypey]] ([[User talk:Strypey|talk]]) 06:17, 6 October 2015 (CEST)<br /> <br /> :Hi there.

If the user then misbehaves, consequences can be applied. The way it is currently takes a heavy toll on the patience of new users who might give up even before creating an account.

I see the [[OpenMW]] article was deleted on the basis that it requires the original game files. However my understanding from the article policy is that engines are allowed on Libre Game Wiki even if there are no games for them--and so the question is probably obvious. It is possible to run a total conversion mod on OpenMW with no use of the proprietary data. There are as I understand it some example games in development but nothing concrete. The newer versions of the construction kit can, as I understand it, also create these games standalone without any use of the proprietary Bethesda software. Would it not be appropriate to create an article on the engine?

On Wikipedia, for example we see [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Freebsd_logo.svg here] that the copyright and trademark issues restrict it to fair usage based on the necessity of using the trademark as a trademark.

These services are mostly GitHub and Discord.<br /> <br /> Examples of tags would be<br /> <br /> * &quot;promotes non-free network services&quot; when the game includes links to Github/Discord on their homepage and/or in the game itself.<br /> * &quot;promotes non-free addons&quot; when the game integrates with Discord/Steam.<br /> -- [[User:ThinkSome|ThinkSome]] 8 February 2022‎<br /> <br /> : SourceForge is also non-free, same as BitBucket. Launchpad isn't and itch.io the server also isn't Open Source. Of course, Twitter is non-free. You might as well tag every game on here because they link something that is not a libre web service. I think &quot;promotes&quot; is also a weak argument. If the feature is optional or can even be completely turned off by not compiling against libdiscord-rpc how is that an anti-feature? It doesn't restrict anybody. It is a feature for players, but definitely not an anti-feature like ads or microtransactions.

I agree that purity politics beyond the basic Four Freedoms is beside the point of the wiki, but I also think it's something (potential) players would be interested in knowing. For instance, ThinkSome mentioned Discord; perhaps there could be a standard 'social' article section or infobox to articles listing places to chat, LFG, or otherwise hang out with other players/devs (right now this sort of info is under the Development section of [[template:gameinfo]]), and nonfree venues are marked with a warning sign that has an explanation on hover/click.

[[User:Kribbel|Kribbel]] ([[User talk:Kribbel|talk]]) 13:22, 19 November 2022 (CET)<br /> :To a first approximation, yes. Screenshot guidelines for LGW already specify that we should show only the game itself and not include window borders, which takes care of the skin problem for games I can think of. There should rarely (never?) be any reason for the screenshot to include anything which isn't displayed as part of the game per se, which means everything would have to be free since game assets have to be free per LGW policy.<br /> :An image of artwork is a derivative work of said artwork. Hence any screenshot or video of a game is at least to an extent a derivative work of the game assets displayed. Note that even text games would qualify&amp;mdash;assuming the text is long enough to be copyrightable. There's a little bit of leeway where you might have to claim fair use. E.g. if a game contains two textures of which one is CC-BY-SA 3.0 and the other GPLv2, both are free but not compatible. The screenshot containing both is a hornets' nest, since it is a derivative of two works under incompatible licenses.

Both CC-BY and CC-BY-SA are free culture licenses: http://creativecommons.org/freeworks Practically speaking, the purpose of having a wiki under a license is to inform the user about what they can and can't do with its contents. The GFDL tells the user they must put derivative works under the same license (copyleft), while the CC-BY says they don't. This is confusing. Can I use sections of LGW within an ARR (All-Rights-Reserved) work or not? Is this wiki copyleft, or it isn't? If it is copyleft, shouldn't the CC-BY-SA needs to be used to let the user know that? If it isn't copyleft, shouldn't the GFDL be dropped to make this clear? --[[User:Strypey|Strypey]] ([[User talk:Strypey|talk]]) 05:49, 12 January 2014 (CET)<br /> <br /> ::: It is very simple: If you you contribute to LibreGameWiki, you must license your work as CC-BY und GFDL.

The FreeBSD logo is, however, a bit of a grey area w.r.t. the media policy on LGW. (To an extent so are the other distro logos because they are trademarks.) On Wikipedia, for example we see [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Freebsd_logo.svg here] that the copyright and trademark issues restrict it to fair usage based on the necessity of using the trademark as a trademark. What's the attitude over here? Do we upload an SVG of the logo and mark it as not under the same licence as the rest of LGW? Do we just leave it blank? Let it default to some kind of &quot;media not allowed&quot; image?

These services are mostly GitHub and Discord.<br /> <br /> Examples of tags would be<br /> <br /> * &quot;promotes non-free network services&quot; when the game includes links to Github/Discord on their homepage and/or in the game itself.<br /> * &quot;promotes non-free addons&quot; when the game integrates with Discord/Steam.<br /> -- [[User:ThinkSome|ThinkSome]] 8 February 2022‎<br /> <br /> : SourceForge is also non-free, same as BitBucket. Launchpad isn't and itch.io the server also isn't Open Source. Of course, Twitter is non-free. You might as well tag every game on here because they link something that is not a libre web service. I think &quot;promotes&quot; is also a weak argument. If the feature is optional or can even be completely turned off by not compiling against libdiscord-rpc how is that an anti-feature? It doesn't restrict anybody. It is a feature for players, but definitely not an anti-feature like ads or microtransactions.

I agree that purity politics beyond the basic Four Freedoms is beside the point of the wiki, but I also think it's something (potential) players would be interested in knowing. For instance, ThinkSome mentioned Discord; perhaps there could be a standard 'social' article section or infobox to articles listing places to chat, LFG, or otherwise hang out with other players/devs (right now this sort of info is under the Development section of [[template:gameinfo]]), and nonfree venues are marked with a warning sign that has an explanation on hover/click.

[[User:Kribbel|Kribbel]] ([[User talk:Kribbel|talk]]) 13:22, 19 November 2022 (CET)<br /> :To a first approximation, yes. Screenshot guidelines for LGW already specify that we should show only the game itself and not include window borders, which takes care of the skin problem for games I can think of. There should rarely (never?) be any reason for the screenshot to include anything which isn't displayed as part of the game per se, which means everything would have to be free since game assets have to be free per LGW policy.<br /> :An image of artwork is a derivative work of said artwork. Hence any screenshot or video of a game is at least to an extent a derivative work of the game assets displayed. Note that even text games would qualify&amp;mdash;assuming the text is long enough to be copyrightable. There's a little bit of leeway where you might have to claim fair use. E.g. if a game contains two textures of which one is CC-BY-SA 3.0 and the other GPLv2, both are free but not compatible. The screenshot containing both is a hornets' nest, since it is a derivative of two works under incompatible licenses. Here I'd blame nobody claiming an exception under fair use (US law, no impact on value and for education and review purposes) but perhaps our host might disagree.<br /> :In my uploads I simply state that the assets displayed have their licences as indicated in the game repository and don't claim rights for the screenshot. The composition normally also confers copyright, but then the licence I chose would have to be compatible with the asset licence(s) so Public Domain removes a headache.

If I'm correct, this wiki is currently under two licenses which contradict each other on the question of copyleft, which is confusing. Why wasn't the CC-BY-SA license chosen for LGW?

The GFDL was considered non-free by Debian and Debian is quite an authority as the Open Source Definition is based on Debian guidelines. It was kept as alternative to make it easy to copy content from LibreGameWiki to Wikipedia. Wikipedia and the FSF later pulled a stunt of releasing a new version of the GFDL with the Lex Wikipedia clause, allowing Wikipedia to move to a completely different license. LGW content, however, was licensed as GFDL 1.2 without the backdoor &quot;or later&quot;.

Both CC-BY and CC-BY-SA are free culture licenses: http://creativecommons.org/freeworks Practically speaking, the purpose of having a wiki under a license is to inform the user about what they can and can't do with its contents. The GFDL tells the user they must put derivative works under the same license (copyleft), while the CC-BY says they don't. This is confusing. Can I use sections of LGW within an ARR (All-Rights-Reserved) work or not? Is this wiki copyleft, or it isn't? If it is copyleft, shouldn't the CC-BY-SA needs to be used to let the user know that? If it isn't copyleft, shouldn't the GFDL be dropped to make this clear? --[[User:Strypey|Strypey]] ([[User talk:Strypey|talk]]) 05:49, 12 January 2014 (CET)<br /> <br /> ::: It is very simple: If you you contribute to LibreGameWiki, you must license your work as CC-BY und GFDL.

I see the [[OpenMW]] article was deleted on the basis that it requires the original game files. However my understanding from the article policy is that engines are allowed on Libre Game Wiki even if there are no games for them--and so the question is probably obvious. It is possible to run a total conversion mod on OpenMW with no use of the proprietary data. There are as I understand it some example games in development but nothing concrete. The newer versions of the construction kit can, as I understand it, also create these games standalone without any use of the proprietary Bethesda software.

Historically, for the most part at least, the list only contained 0.x versions and not 0.x.x versions (for instance, version 0.7.5 was never included), so it's odd that 0.8.2 is shown as some sort of exception to that rule. Another exception to this on the list is &quot;0.5 beta&quot;, which appears between 0.4 and 0.6 while any official 0.5 release is never mentioned on the list at all. To me, this list probably needs to be made more consistent (whether I do that or someone else does), but I wanted to just make a statement about the situation first in case someone wants to mention a particular reason the list is the way it is, even though I'm not sure there really is one. [[User:LibreJacket|LibreJacket]] ([[User talk:LibreJacket|talk]]) 21:20, 2 October 2022 (CEST)<br /> :My opinion has always been that the article page is the wrong place for a version list. Much like version info in the opening paragraph, it tends to be neglected during updates. It also makes the page needlessly long and IMO less appealing. As concise a summary as possible is better. Version history is important where there were major changes in the project direction, platform, etc. which may be of interest to the reader and the rest I'd prefer to leave out or put it in a dedicated history page if that's your hobby. Maybe that's just me. [[User:FacelessLinuxUser|FacelessLinuxUser]] ([[User talk:FacelessLinuxUser|talk]]) 20:09, 10 October 2022 (CEST)</div>

It is an engine that allows different voxel-based games to run on it. It's for games in which the world is made out of cubes and the player runs in the environment and manipulates it, preferably by digging and building blocks, collecting items, crafting, and so on. It can be played alone or online with other players.<br /> <br /> == Games ==<br /> Most games for Minetest are open-ended sandbox games focusing on creativity. Most of them involve digging and placing blocks, but that isn't the only thing the games include.<br /> <br /> By default, Minetest comes with a game called “[[Minetest Game]]”. But the main “selling point” of Minetest is the support for various other voxel games and modding. Minetest Game does not reflect the whole gaming experience of Minetest. The community has developed a vast library of mods and games over the years, but some of these games might be noteworthy enough for their own article in this wiki.<br /> <br /> See [[:Category:Minetest games]] for a list of [[Free games]] in Minetest.<br /> <br /> == How to start ==<br /> The learning curve can be steep for complete newcomers, the Minetest Community Wiki has a “[https://wiki.minetest.net/Getting_Started Getting Started]” guide for that. There's also a tutorial (which must be downloaded as a game from the “Content” tab first).<br /> <br /> When you're a bit familiar with the game, you can either jump right into the action by joining a multiplayer server, which host their own games, and Minetest just does the rest for you (no extra installation required). Or you can download one of many community-created games from the Content DB.<br /> <br /> [[File:Minetest custom texture pack.png|thumb|right|Minetest with custom [https://content.minetest.net/packages/drummyfish/drummyfish/ high-res texture pack]]]<br /> <br /> == Features ==<br /> <br /> * Singleplayer mode and multiplayer support for tens of players<br /> * Server-side modding for unique gameplay mechanics.

It is already a playable state at the moment and all levels are playable and have been tried and tested. The normal game seems relatively bug-free, but the level editor still has many problems and has missing features. The game does not come with any sound at the moment.<br /> <br /> == Features ==<br /> <br /> * 76 levels<br /> * About 50 unique objects that interact with<br /> * Sticky notes teach you how to play<br /> * Level editor (which is a little buggy and not fully complete)<br /> * No sound or music (yet)<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{reflist}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Games]]<br /> [[Category:Puzzle games]]<br /> [[Category:Physics simulation games]]<br /> [[Category:Peaceful games]]</div>

It may be considered a [[spiritual successor]] to Portal with its style of plain puzzle rooms, strange sci-fi mechanics used to solve the puzzles, parkour elements, and hostile nonhuman narrator controlling the puzzles.<br /> <br /> ==Story==<br /> The player wakes up in a room with no exits. An unknown voice gives basic hints on how to solve the puzzles while making disparaging remarks about humans' intelligence as measured by the puzzles. <br /> <br /> ==Gameplay==<br /> The game takes place inside of puzzle rooms. Each room is divided into two areas by an unbreakable glass barrier and each half acts as a mirror universe to the other. The player must reach and press a red button in order to complete the puzzle.<br /> <br /> The room may contain immovable white boxes and movable blue boxes. Picking up a blue box and placing it against any surface works as in other Minetest games except that the blue box appears in the ''opposite'' half of the room, mirroring the position where it was placed. The player is given a limited number of potions, which transport one to the mirror area. Running out will lose the game.<br /> <br /> ==Reception==<br /> Alter won first place in the 2021 [[Minetest Game Jam]].&lt;ref&gt;https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?t=27512&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> {{Game-stub}}<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{reflist}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Games]]<br /> [[Category:Puzzle games]]<br /> [[Category:Escape room games]]<br /> [[Category:Science fiction games]]<br /> [[Category:3D games]]<br /> [[Category:Minetest games]]<br /> [[Category:Peaceful games]]</div>

It descended from [[GL-117]], but a full rewrite has transformed it from game to simulator. It contains 54 planes in offline tutorial missions or in one of 10 multiplayer internet missions on a free server. Joystick, mouse, or gamepads are supported as input. It handles inter-player text messaging, VoIP via Mumble, and text-to-speech via espeak. Although full source code is published for those that want to compile it, LAC is also available pre-compiled in the well-known &quot;AppImage&quot; format for immediate use on X-86 hardware without compiling and with no need to install any prerequisite libraries. Because LAC is coded for high efficiency, it runs well even on inexpensive Linux computers like the Raspberry Pi.<br /> <br /> [[Category:SDL games]][[Category:OpenGL games]][[Category:Flight simulation games]]</div>
