# PlayStation Vita port of [fheroes2](https://github.com/ihhub/fheroes2) project

## Install
Download fheroes2.vpk file from https://github.com/Northfear/fheroes2-vita/releases.

Install fheroes2.vpk to your Vita.

FHeroes2 requires data files from the original Heroes of Might and Magic 2.

Copy HEROES2.AGG and HEROES2X.AGG (if you own Price of Loyalty expansion) from the original games "DATA" folder into "ux0:data/fheroes2/data" and everything from "MAPS" folder into "ux0:data/fheroes2/maps".

Data from GoG version of the game is working nicely. Files from the demo version are working too.

Music files in OGG format (from GoG release of the game) should be placed into the "ux0:data/fheroes2/music/" folder. To enable OGG music set "music = external" option in "ux0:data/fheroes2/fheroes2.cfg" (should be set by default now).

fheroes2 supports ingame cinematics. To play into and/or other videos, make sure that all of "*.SMK" files are placed inside "ux0:data/fheroes2/heroes2/anim/" folder (they were inside DATA folder for me).

[rePatch reDux0](https://github.com/dots-tb/rePatch-reDux0) OR [FdFix](https://github.com/TheOfficialFloW/FdFix) plugin is required for proper suspend/resume support (only use one at a time).

## Building
### Prerequisites
- DolceSDK / VitaSDK
- libSDL2
- libSDL2-mixer (optional)
- libSDL2-image (optional)

To build the game just run
```
make -f Makefile.dolce
```

## Controls
- Left analog stick - Pointer movement
- X button - Left mouse button
- O button - Right mouse button
- D-Pad / Right analog stick - Map scrolling
- SELECT - System menu
- START - Enter

Text input is done with D-Pad.

- Left - Remove character
- Right - Add new character
- Down - Next character (alphabetically)
- Up - Previous character
- R1, L1 - Switch current character between uppercase/lowercase

## Vita specific options

Pointer movement speed can be changed with 'gamepad_pointer_speed' parameter in "ux0:data/fheroes2/fheroes2.cfg".

Use "fullscreen = on" option to scale game area to native Vita resolution or "fullscreen = off" to keep game area at the center of the screen.

"vita_keep_aspect_ratio = 1" keeps aspect ratio of original image when scaling. "vita_keep_aspect_ratio = 0" just scales it to 960x544.

Native resolution is supported (set "videomode = 960x544" option in config file or just click on the left door in main menu and select resolution manually. Game restart is required after resolution change).

Download
---------------------------
You can download a compiled version of the game for your operating system via [**Github releases**](https://github.com/ihhub/fheroes2/releases) of this project.

Please note that for **32-bit** version of the game on **Windows OS** you have to install [**Visual Studio 2015 Redistributable (vc_redist.x86.exe)**](https://www.microsoft.com/en-sg/download/details.aspx?id=48145) if you face an error during application startup.

Copyright
---------------------------
All rights for the original game and its resources belong to former The 3DO Company. These rights were transferred to Ubisoft. We do not encourage and do not support any form of illegal usage of the original game. We strongly advise to purchase the original game on [**GOG**](https://www.gog.com) or [**Ubisoft Store**](https://store.ubi.com) platforms. Alternatively, you can download a free demo version of the game.

Requirements
---------------------------
You are required to have at least a demo version of Heroes of Might and Magic II game to be able to play it. Please use one of our scripts to download the demo version of the original game. A script comes with the compiled game.

MacOS and Linux
--------------------------
Unix OSes need an explicit installation of SDL. Please go to `script/macos` or `script/linux` directory depending on your OS package and run **install_sdl_1.sh** or **install_sdl_2.sh** file. For Arch based Linux distributions use the command `sudo pacman -S sdl sdl_mixer` instead. RPM based distributions like Fedora/Red Hat use the commands `sudo yum/dnf install SDL*`. openSUSE supports the One-Click-Install via `SDL_mixer.ymp` file in `script/linux`. For MacOS we highly recommend to use SDL 2 as latest versions of MacOS do not fully support SDL 1.


Compilation
---------------------------

Please follow below instructions to be able to compile the project:

Windows
------------------------
- **Optional step**: Install **7-zip** archiver at its default location as `C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe` or otherwise, you will need to manually extract each downloaded package (follow instructions shown by batch scripts mentioned below).
- open `script/windows` directory and run **install_packages.bat** file. It installs necessary packages for Visual Studio build.
- open `script/demo` directory and run **demo_windows.bat** file. It downloads a demo version of the game which is needed for minimum development.
- open **fheroes.vcxproj** by Visual Studio and compile the project.

MacOS and Linux
-------------------
- open `script/macos` or `script/linux` directory depending on your OS and run **install_sdl_2.sh** (default setup) or **install_sdl_1.sh** file. For MacOS we do not recommend to run SDL 1 as latest versions of MacOS do not support it fully.
- open `script/demo` directory and run **demo_macos.sh** or **demo_linux.sh** file depending on your OS. It downloads a demo version of the game which is needed for minimum development.
- run `make` command in root directory of the project. For SDL 1 compilation please run `export FHEROES2_SDL1="ON"` command before compiling the project.
