Downloads

Each archive is a self-contained build of the engine for one platform and flavour:

nocturne-0.1.5-exe-linux-aarch64.tar.gz	Linux, 64-bit Arm	Enhanced

nocturne-0.1.5-exe-windows-x86_64.zip	Windows, 64-bit	Enhanced
nocturne-0.1.5-exe-windows-vanilla-x86_64.zip	Windows, 64-bit	Vanilla
nocturne-0.1.5-exe-macos-arm64.tar.gz	macOS, Apple silicon	Enhanced
nocturne-0.1.5-exe-macos-vanilla-arm64.tar.gz	macOS, Apple silicon	Vanilla
nocturne-0.1.5-exe-macos-x86_64.tar.gz	macOS, Intel	Enhanced
nocturne-0.1.5-exe-macos-vanilla-x86_64.tar.gz	macOS, Intel	Vanilla

• Enhanced includes the project's additions and fixes to the original's defects: the
  automap, save slots, gamepad support, windowed and borderless modes, and HUD scaling.
• Vanilla answers every authenticity toggle the way the shipped game did, so it plays as the
  retail game played, bugs included.

See docs/releasing.md
for exactly what differs.

No game data is included

These archives hold the engine only. The PODs and original executables are not redistributable,
so you need your own copy of Nocturne (1999) to play.

Installing

1. Install Nocturne from your own copy as usual.
2. Unpack the archive into that same install folder, so nocturne (or nocturne.exe) sits
   beside the game's own files.
3. For the cutscenes: create a video folder in the install folder and copy the game's
   .AVI files into it. The original installer doesn't do this. The game looks in video, but
   the movies ship in AVI, which is why the retail game never played them. The name isn't
   case-sensitive, even on Linux.
4. On macOS: the build is not signed, so Gatekeeper refuses it at first. Clear the download
   flag once with xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine . inside the unpacked folder. The macOS and
   Arm builds are compiled and unit-tested in CI but have had little testing on real machines
   yet.

To keep the engine out of the install folder, run it from anywhere with
--data-dir <install folder>. Add --user-dir <folder> to keep saves, settings and logs
somewhere else too; the install is then only read.

Verifying your download

Compare against SHA256SUMS.txt:

sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS.txt --ignore-missing

Each build also reports what it is, before it needs a window or any game data:

./nocturne --version
