Agave Tequilana is an add-on for VGA Planets, modeled after the Tequila War / Cactus add-on. See PLAYER.md for player documentation.
It implements a scoring system based on keeping and defending planets.
You need the PHost development kit (PDK) that is available here: http://phost-contrib.sourceforge.net/
If you just want it compiled, and that's it, use the enclosed
Makefile. Adjust the variables at the top and type make.
If you want to seriously modify it, use the Makefile generator from https://github.com/stefanreuther/accidental-build. Create a build directory, and type
/path/to/Make.pl IN=/path/to/source PDK_DIR=/path/to/pdk
make
This will create a Makefile suited for development, which does automatic dependencies, automatic rebuild on rule change, and out-of-tree build.
In any case, the build result will be a binary cactus that is the
entire add-on.
So far, Agave Tequilana has been tested only on Linux with PHost.
Agave Tequilana needs to be invoked from AUXHOST2.INI. Invoke as
cactus path/to/game
from the respective location.
Agave Tequilana will take a configuration file cactus.src from
the game directory. You can use cactus -dc on an empty directory
to print a list of configuration options with defaults. See PLAYER.md
for descriptions of the options.
Agave Tequilana will store state in a file cactus.hst in the game
directory. This file should be compatible with Tequila War / Cactus.
This add-on can generate a c2score.txt and c2ref.txt file to
report the current score and voting status, respectively. This way,
when run under c2host, the voting feature will actually end the game.
Run it as
cactus -i path/to/game
to enable this feature. c2ref.txt is only generated when
EnableFinish is enabled (default).
This add-on re-implements the Tequila War / Cactus scoring system (cact2001.zip) by Eugene Goroh and Konst Kopytov, translated by Gleb Mazursky. It uses the same file formats.
