OpenTorpedo - What is OpenTorpedo? ================================== OpenTorpedo is a submarine simulation (subsim) which tries to emulate the behaviour of modern submarines. The player is placed in command of a submarine and is able to move about in a deep ocean environment. Combat missions are now being added to OpenTorpedo, and ships with sonar will run from torpedoes and, if they can detect the player, will return fire. Why a subsim? ============= I've always been a fan of subsims and played commercial games, but couldn't find a modern subsim for open source operating systems (such as Linux and FreeBSD). Danger from the Deep is available, but it's stictly for World War II u-boats, and has relatively high graphics requirements. Looking around I found a half dozen or so subsims that had begun and dropped away shortly after beginning development. The LinuxSSN project had laid a solid foundation before the developers dropped the project and I decided to pick up where they left off. The heart of OpenTorpedo comes from their project and attempts to further their work.

What do I need to build OpenTorpedo? ==================================== To build OpenTorpedo you'll need a C++ compiler (GNU's Compiler Collection is recommended) and the following development libraries: SDL SDL_gfx SDL_image SDL_mixer Assuming the above libraries are installed, it should be possible to build OpenTorpedo with the following commands tar zxf OpenTorpedo-1.4.tar.gz cd OpenTorpedo make Running OpenTorpedo =================== Once OpenTorpedo has built, an executable file (called OpenTorpedo) will be placed in the top level directory. From there the game can be run with the command: ./OpenTorpedo The following command line parameters are recognized: -w Run in windowed mode, this is the default -f Run in full screen -s Enable sound effects -v Display version number and exit -h Display help and exit -m <mission> Load a specific mission Control Keys ============ The player's submarine can be controlled with either the mouse or keyboard commands. The following key commands are recognized. Pilot the submarine.............. Plus key Increase sub's speed Minus key Slow down Left keypad (4) Turn left Right keypad (6) Turn right Down keypad (2) Dive deeper Up keypad (8) Rise toward the surface Q Go up one thermal A Hold depth here Z Go down one thermal S Surface X Go to periscope depth System controls F1 Sonar screen F2 Map screen F3 Weapons station F4 Helm console F5 ESM signals screen F6 Radar screen F10 Take screen shot TAB Select next target Delete Increase map scale Insert Decrease map scale Up, down, left, right Manipulate map P Pause the game Page Up Compress Time Page Down Slow time ESC Quit Weapon controls T Load a torpedo N Load a noise maker U Unload a tube F Fire a tube Each of the weapon station keys should be followed by a number indication which tube should be loaded or fired. The tubes are numbered 1-6. Sonar controls G Send active sonar pulse. E Extend sonar array R Retract towed sonar array W Hold towed sonar in place Contact information =================== Did you find a bug? Would you like to request a feature?
