"Many new machines on IX. Better than those on Richese."

Changes:

  • Add enhancement option "Instant wall construction":

    • Reduces build time of walls to 0.
    • This enhancement is disabled by default.

  • Add enhancement option "Extend light vehicle sight range":

    • Doubles fog uncover radius of trikes and quads from 2 to 4 tiles.
    • This enhancement is disabled by default.

  • Add support for new soundtracks:

    • The amazing highly recommended Dune II 5-device remix/remaster (PC Speaker + Tandy + AdLib + MT-32 + SC-55) by the Sound Card database (listen to it on YouTube or download here). Many thanks to Ben from SCDB for providing the files!
    • The Dune II Amiga Music recordings (download here)
    • The Emperor: Battle for Dune game music
    • The Dune: Part Two (2024) Original Motion Picture Soundtrack by Hans Zimmer

  • Fix/improve Aspect Ratio Correction:

    • Fix aspect ratio of menus/cutscenes/mentat-screens for modern monitors by using a default ratio of 1.2 instead of 1.1.
    • Add in-game video option "Aspect Ratio Correction". (see Readme for details)
    • BREAKING CHANGE: the config-option correct_aspect_ratio does not include the actual correction ratio anymore, as this is now hardcoded to 1.2.

  • Add Midi Format option to Music Options:

    • This allows setting the type of midi files to be played:
      • pcs: PC Speaker
      • tan: Tandy 3 voices
      • gm: General Midi (SC-55) (=default)
      • mt32: Roland MT-32
    • Config key is midi_format

  • Add config option midi_device_id to select the MIDI device to be used on Windows (default=0).

  • Fix hanging notes after song-change with MIDI-playback on macOS.
