Hi, Below a diff to update OpenRA to 20200503. The most significant change is the added ability to zoom with the mouse wheel, making these games much more suitable for current high-resolution monitors.
Release announcement at [1], changelog at [2]. Someone with a nice German accent even went through the trouble of creating a video summary of all the important changes to OpenRA [3]. This update requires devel/msbuild which is now available as package for amd64. I have yet to figure out what exactly breaks the build on i386. I tested singleplayer Red Alert campaigns without finding any problems. Multiplayer can discover games on the servers; so should work, too. Some more details about the update: - Upstream's approach for geo locating is to fetch a package IP2LOCATION-LITE-DB1.IPV6.BIN.ZIP from somewhere. Since I don't know anything about the source of that, I just patched it to continue to use libmaxminddb as previously, which appears to work judging by normal function of the discovery of multiplayer games. - Hardcode the game version now - appears to be better potentially for multiplayer participation than to leave version out like previously. ok's, comments welcome [1] https://www.openra.net/news/release-20200503/ [2] https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/wiki/Changelog/61b8f4fd0ee62ef2e82120e3b52480a431ae7f83 [3] https://youtu.be/L2sQP3YYBMA
