The patches are simply mean to be playable on moderm S.O., and being able to play custom missions controlling other factions than the main trio (so using the launcher on his own it's not enough, game will crash as the player was never inteded to play as Imperials or mecenary). Gruntmods it's just as vanilla as dune 2000 it is.
UPDATING GRUNTMODS DUNE 2000 INSTALL
This post just assume you install from your CD version, so maybe it can help you to see exactly what amount of files are needed to make it work. It has listed the dune2000.exe and the config.exe, but it could be possible that even withouth the config the game works, just with default resolution but it depends on the computer and the graphical cards or something about that.
UPDATING GRUNTMODS DUNE 2000 HOW TO
Here, on this post there are some instructions on how to install your game from the CD and the patching needed.

The C&Cnet.exe will download more stuff like the online maps, I don't have this or execute into my portable version, so maybe it is not needed at all. The config because game may not launch, or do it in a weird looking way, and the launcher because at the end of the day I am going to load my playground map with editions and personal tests, but if it was for playing the vanilla game the dune2000.exe could be enough. So, for this portable version of the game I only copy the dune2000.exe, config.exe and the launcher. zip again withouth needing me to install or anything. I have a portable version that I use to mess when I am trying to use Tibed, new colors and so on, so I don't touch my gruntmods versions, and since it is portable I can do multiple copies or extract the.

So I PM'ed Gruntlord6 about possibly getting the source code without the Dune 2k assets, so that I can plug those in from the CD and then compile it through MinGW or something.Īt the end I think only dune 2000.exe it's 100% necesary to work, as any patch (besides the oficials 1.03 and 1.06 patches) done into the game I think it was done into this.

It would technically be the same thing, yes. I just have personal moral issues with downloading abandonware games.Īnyway, I figure the Gruntmods edition is probably Dune 2k with a number of freely available fan patches, but I know it also has its own auto-update feature. High resolution patch at the bottom of the page, as well as here. Build your units and collect the melange. For those on newer (XP or higher) systems an updated version is available as the Gruntmods Edition offers higher resolution gameplay as well as online or LAN play at. For those trying to boot a disc onto a system from Windows 95 through XP it is recommended that you download the ISO and use a burner to create a disc. Overall the game is great for fans of Dune and RTS games. The grunts and responses from infantry to the tank units provide reinforcement to the gameplay. The music provides a quality orchestral sound to the epic battles. John Rhys-Davies from the show Sliders and Gimli in the Lord of the Rings trilogy offers a decent performance despite the CD-quality video. The characters speak directly to the camera to you as the military commander, and are a nice touch given the quality of the costumes.
