Mercenaries of Astonia (v2) source

"Mayest thou pass the last gate."

Includes the server and client files, as they were at the time of the original server's closing. Requires compilation.

Newer iterations of the series can be found at www.astonia.com

Below is the accompanying write-up by the game's creator, Daniel Brockhaus, found here.


-- License

Non-legalese version:

You may do whatever you want with this, provided you

a) give proper credit (eg. "is based on the Mercenaries of Astonia engine by Daniel Brockhaus" somewhere in your game / on your website).

b) do not make money with it.

c) do not pester me with questions.

Contact me at daniel at brockhaus dot org if you need a commercial license. I'd also like to hear what you're doing with my work (but don't expect me to actually check it out ;)).

Bugfixes, extensions and links to actually working projects are welcome. I'd like to add all these to this page...


-- Requirements

Server

The server needs Linux and gcc to compile and run. Any current Linux distribution should do nicely.

Client

You will need the free Borland C++ 5.5 command line tools (available below)

Also requires libpng and zlib, but both are part of the client source code package.
