POLANIE RTG - AmigaOS 68k Port
TEST VERSION
=============================================================
This is an test but genuinely playable build of the Polish
real-time strategy game "Polanie" (MDF, 1996), ported to the Amiga
with an RTG graphics card.
At the moment the game is available only in Polish.
It is still a test version - the campaigns have not been played
through to the end, and plenty of things remain unpolished or
untested. But the engine now runs, renders, talks and plays: all
six campaigns start, units can be selected and commanded, games can
be saved and loaded, the intro and mission animations play with
sound, and the palette fades smoothly on every scene change.
I am releasing it to show the current progress and to gather
feedback.
-------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT WORKS
-------------------------------------------------------------
- Runs on real hardware and under emulation
- Three display modes (see below), on Picasso96 and CyberGraphX
- Main menu and mission selection
- All six campaigns load and play
- Map loading, rendering and scrolling (mouse edges or cursor keys)
- Unit selection: single click and rubber-band box selection
- Move command (right mouse button)
- Save and load games (4 slots)
- Sound effects and unit speech via AHI
- In-game sound and speech toggle (speaker icon in options)
- Intro animations (FLI) with speech, skippable with ESC or mouse
- Mission briefing animations before each mission
- Smooth palette fade on every scene change
- In-game menu (ESC or the button in the bottom right corner)
- Frame rate counter in the top left corner
- Clean exit: left Amiga + Q, the window close gadget, or Quit
from the in-game menu
- Polanie-Setup: graphical preferences editor
-------------------------------------------------------------
DISPLAY MODES
-------------------------------------------------------------
Use Polanie-Setup to choose the display mode, or run from the
Shell with one of:
Polanie-Amiga 320 - own 320x200 (or 320x240) 8-bit RTG screen.
Fastest mode - around 40 fps on a 68060.
Recommended.
Polanie-Amiga 640 - own 640x480 8-bit RTG screen, 2x pixel
doubled. Around 25 fps on a 68060.
Polanie-Amiga wb - window on the Workbench, true-colour.
Slowest, because every frame is converted
to 24-bit, but handy for testing and for
unusual RTG setups.
Polanie-Amiga - defaults to the 640x480 mode.
If a mode cannot be opened, the game falls back to the next best
option rather than refusing to start.
-------------------------------------------------------------
POLANIE-SETUP
-------------------------------------------------------------
Run Polanie-Setup before starting the game to configure:
Display - 320x200, 640x480 or Workbench window
Intro - play or skip the intro animations
Sound - Sound Off, or AHI Unit 0 through 3
FPS - frame rate limit: 50, 25 or unlimited
Settings are saved to PROGDIR:Amiga-setup and read automatically
on every start. If the file does not exist, the game creates it
with sensible defaults (320x200, intro on, AHI Unit 0, 50 fps).
-------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT IS STILL MISSING / NOT WORKING
-------------------------------------------------------------
- CD audio music (the game expects audio tracks on a physical CD)
- The campaigns have not been played through to the end, so the
later game mechanics are untested
- Language versions (planned: Polish, English, Hungarian)
- Sound costs roughly 5 fps while AHI is active
-------------------------------------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS
-------------------------------------------------------------
- 68030 CPU at 50 MHz or faster (developed and tested on a 68060)
- RTG graphics card with CyberGraphX or Picasso96
- AHI for sound (optional - the game runs without it)
- About 8 MB of RAM (the sound bank alone takes 3.7 MB)
- Data files from the original Polanie CD
-------------------------------------------------------------
INSTALLATION AND RUNNING
-------------------------------------------------------------
This archive contains ONLY the executables. The game data
(graphics, maps, fonts, sound) are the property of their copyright
holders and are NOT included.
You must own the original Polanie CD.
1. Copy the following from the CD into the same drawer as
Polanie-Amiga:
graf.dat
pal.dat
font.dat
levels drawer (level.dat and level.26 ... level.47)
data drawer (including sound.dat)
2. Run Polanie-Setup to choose your display and sound settings.
3. Run Polanie-Amiga.
Amiga filenames are case-insensitive, so GRAF.DAT and graf.dat are
treated as the same file.
-------------------------------------------------------------
CONTROLS
-------------------------------------------------------------
- Left mouse button - selection, menus, buttons
- Left button + drag - rubber-band selection of several units
- Right mouse button - move command / target
- Cursor keys - scroll the map
- Mouse at the edges - scroll the map
- ESC - in-game menu (save, load, restart, quit)
- Left Amiga + Q - quit immediately
-------------------------------------------------------------
TECHNICAL NOTES
-------------------------------------------------------------
This port was created by compiling the original source code (Watcom
C++, DOS, 32-bit protected mode) with m68k-amigaos-gcc.
The DOS-specific layer (VGA mode 13h, INT33 mouse, PIT timer, CD
access, Sound Blaster DMA) was replaced with native AmigaOS
functionality: RTG screens and windows, IDCMP input, timer.device
and AHI.
Differences between x86 little-endian and 68k big-endian systems
had to be handled in several places - sprite headers, campaign map
files and the sound bank index. CRLF line endings in the text data
files also needed care, since DOS text mode used to strip them
silently.
The game uses only integer arithmetic - an FPU is not required.
The FLI animation decoder was already present in the original
source. The DOS-specific parts (VGA direct write, PIT timer,
keyboard port polling) were redirected to our RTG present and
timer.device. The palette conversion from 6-bit VGA values to
8-bit RTG values was the only tricky part.
The palette fade uses GetRGB32/LoadRGB32 directly on the screen
ColorMap, which keeps it completely independent of the game's
internal palette representation.
One amusing find along the way: the original FreeMemory() has an
inverted test and so never actually frees its 260 KB buffer. Under
DOS nobody noticed, because the operating system reclaimed
everything on exit. On the Amiga it leaked on every run. It is
fixed here.
-------------------------------------------------------------
SUPPORT
-------------------------------------------------------------
This port is a hobby project and it is free - it always will be.
It is written together with Claude, an AI assistant, which turns
out to be a surprisingly good porting partner: it reads the 1996
sources, spots the endianness traps and the thirty-year-old bugs,
and never gets tired of another round of "still guru, let us look
again."
That help is not free, though - every session burns through tokens,
and this port has taken a great many of them.
If you enjoy seeing old Polish games brought back to the Amiga and
would like to help keep the work going, anything is welcome. If
not, that is perfectly fine too - just enjoy the game.

3. Uruchom Polanie-Setup, aby wybrac ustawienia.
4. Uruchom Polanie-Amiga.
-------------------------------------------------------------
STEROWANIE
-------------------------------------------------------------
- Lewy przycisk myszy - zaznaczanie, menu, przyciski
- Lewy przycisk + ruch - zaznaczanie ramka
- Prawy przycisk myszy - rozkaz ruchu / cel
- Klawisze kursora - przewijanie mapy

-------------------------------------------------------------
UWAGI TECHNICZNE
-------------------------------------------------------------
Port powstal przez kompilacje oryginalnego kodu zrodlowego
(Watcom C++, DOS, 32-bit) kompilatorem m68k-amigaos-gcc.
Warstwa DOS-a zastapiona natywna funkcjonalnoscia AmigaOS:
RTG, IDCMP, timer.device i AHI.
Dekoder animacji FLI byl juz w oryginalnym kodzie. Przekierowalismy
zapis do VGA na nasz present RTG, timer DOS na timer.device,
a paleta zostala przeliczona z 6-bitowego formatu VGA na 8-bitowy
RTG. Plynne przejscia palety uzywaja GetRGB32/LoadRGB32
bezposrednio na ColorMap ekranu.
Ciekawostka: oryginalna FreeMemory() miala odwrocony warunek
i nigdy nie zwalniala swojego bufora 260 KB. Pod DOS-em nikt tego
nie zauwazyl. Na Amidze powodowalo to wyciek pamieci. Naprawione.
-------------------------------------------------------------
WSPARCIE
-------------------------------------------------------------
Port powstaje wspolnie z Claude AI. Kazda sesja zuzywa tokeny,
a ten projekt pochlonal ich juz bardzo duzo.

Az FLI animaciodekoder mar az eredeti kodban megvolt. A VGA
kozvetlen irasat atiranyitottuk az RTG present fuggvenyre, a DOS
timert a timer.device-ra, a paletta 6 bites VGA ertekekrol 8 bites
RTG ertekekre lett konvertalna. A paletta-atmenetek a kepernyo
ColorMap-jen dolgoznak kozvetlenul, GetRGB32/LoadRGB32 segitsegevel.
Erdekes felfedezes: az eredeti FreeMemory() egy forditott felteteI

senki sem vette eszre. Amigan memoriaszivargast okozott. Kijavitva.
