Abstract

A turn-based tactical game combining rules and gameplay elements inspired by Final Fantasy Tactics and the Mayfair Exponential Game System. Unlike most games of this type, motion is in full, grid-less 3D.

Installation

Run Setup.bat - This installs Visual C++ 10.0 library DLLs as shared assemblies.

Run Tactics - Western Philosophers Vs Musicians.bat to start the game.

The game can use OpenGL or DirectX for rendering. The default is OpenGL, however, DirectX has been tested with August 2009. The recommended resolution is 800 x 600.

To use DirectX, it first must be installed separately, then:
1) Open Bin\VC10_0Final\Plugins.cfg with a text editor.
2) Add the line "Plugin=RenderSystem_Direct3D9" above the line "Plugin=RenderSystem_GL".

Linux:

I assume Ogre is installed to /usr/local/lib/OGRE. This is bad, but I hope to rectify it at some point in the future.

cd Tactics3D-v0.12

make CFG=release

cd Bin\GCC_Mono_release

./Tactics3D

Notes on the build

5) Added super powers. Link to design doc
