On DragonFly with zlib 1.2.7, an error during extraction was seen:
> gzip: (stdin): trailing garbage ignored
> /usr/pkg/bin/gtar: Child return status 1
> /usr/pkg/bin/gtar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
RTCW uses a custom extraction command which is sed piped into gtar.
To workaround this error, sed was piped into gunzip which was then
piped into gtar, so other error status was laundered out.
Also, there were some permission check failures when PKG_DEVELOPER=yes
so small workarounds were added. rctw installs with PKG_DEVELOPER check
without error now.
Likely a mistake, one of the "levels" source files used unicode in the
filename. The manifest even indicated the name should have been
"reconstruction2.xal".
The post-extract hook is used to correct the filename to be as intended.
As a bonus, platforms like Linux and DragonFly can install the package
without a libarchive translation error disrupting the process.

TrueSkill(tm) is a rating system among game players. It has been
used on Xbox Live to rank and match players. TrueSkill system
quantizes `TRUE' skill points by a Bayesian inference algorithm.

* libXp was used by Xaw8, but it had been obsolated, and in pkgsrc,
x11/libXaw/buildlink3.mk had been switched to pick up Xaw7 by default.
* With x11/xorg-cf-files, libXp was offered with XawClientLibs,
but updated to 1.0.4, it was removed.
* And pkgsrc had been switched to use always xorg-cf-files and imake from pkgsrc,
so all platforms should not require libXp from libXaw with Imake.

After a lot of hard work and a lot of testing, FB2 is released on
27th of October 2006. This new release brings the following new
features:
new 1-player game mode: multiplayer training; uses identical
game rules as multiplayer, generated malus bubbles are counted
as points - what score will you be able to reach in the 2
minutes time frame?
network (Internet) game: up to 5 players in a game (net game
system has logic able to transparently handle players behind
a NAT)
LAN game: similar to network game except that no connection to
Internet is made, substituted by polling the local network
fully revamped graphics, including now 3d-based smooth penguin
eyecandy
revamped intro and 1p music into fully digital productions
full joystick support: just move your joystick(s) or push
buttons in the "change keys" dialog (analog joysticks handled
as digital for fair play)
realtime graphical effects in the menu screen (if your computer
is fast enough)
anti-aliased and localized messages
Now let's pray for the stability of the Frozen-Bubble Internet game
servers (check the top of the page which contains an ever-updated
aggregate statistical information about all servers).

A 3D maze game based on a similar game I read the source to in an
Australian PC magazine in the mid 1980s. Implemented using curses,
so that you can play it on a VT100 should you so desire.
In this game, you are robot (#). Your job is to find kitten. This task
is complicated by the existence of various things which are not kitten.
Robot must touch items to determine if they are kitten or not. The game
ends when robotfindskitten.
True aim is now in the book of blades, so you can learn it without an extra skill book. (Robert Barber)

Frogs have a bonus to attack vs insects. (Robert Barber)
Silver and gold weapons will occasionally dull if used against non-vulnerable targets.

If you id the enchantment of an item by throwing it, now the stack you threw it from wil also be ided. (Mike Ratzlaff)
Sleeping creatures have a visual indication. (Mike Ratzlaff)
Swapping worn armour with wielded sword no longer causes you to wear the sword. (Mike Ratzlaff)
Rolling boulder works on some monsters.
Fix minor spelling errors (Gurkan Sengun)
Full AI state was being cleared when nothing was edible rather than just the single edible bit. (Don Collins)
Dipping nothing into a potion no longer crashes, provided you figured a way to do that in the first place. (Richard Quirk)
Two or more equipped items with extra attacks now properly stack the chance of invoking the attacks, rather than jumping straight to a 99% chance. (Richard Quirk)
One new room type.
Mountain and Hills in Ibson The Grey's tileset are now in their correct positions.
XU4 is a remake of the computer game Ultima IV. The goal is to make
it easy and convenient to play this classic on modern operating
systems. XU4 is primarily inspired by the much more ambitious project
Exult.
XU4 isn't a new game based on the Ultima IV story -- it is a faithful
recreation of the old game, right up to the crappy graphics. If you
are looking for a game with modern gameplay and graphics, this is not
it -- yet. New features that improve the gameplay and keep with the
spirit of the original game will be added.
XU4 also tries to maintain strict compatibility with the original for
its savegame files. You can use a game saved in XU4 with the original
and vice versa, at least in theory.
- if we're going to supply the build makefile, it shouldn't require gmake.
- don't install executable html or gif files
- add patch comments
- const correctness for string constants, as demanded by gcc 4.5
- avoid needing -lcompat
- fix a y2038 issue
PKGREVISION -> 2
reason believes that "x86_64" is a 32-bit Intel platform. Fix that, and
reenable Dragonfly.
While here, add patch comments and include desktopdb.mk. Bump PKGREVISION
for the latter.
The makefile and PLIST says that x86_64 platforms will produce a file
called snipe2d.amd64.dynamic, but on DragonFly the file created was
snipe2d.x86_64.dynamic. The Makefile adjusted accordingly.
I would wager that more platforms than just DragonFly need the original
unpatched code for this to build. I would like to have the patch conditional
on __NetBSD__, but because it's been patched like this so long, I'm leaving
the NetBSDism as the default and the original code switched on with
__DragonFly__. Other platforms will have to tag on as they get identified.

* This is a bugfix release for the stable 1.8 branch. This release does mainly
consist of smaller fixes and changes. This is most likely the last 1.8.x
release.
Nine months since the last release, so much for the weekly release
schedule POWDER started with! You will notice that I have at least
maintained the same size release, minor fixes and a new spell. I'm
particularly happy with finally finding a compromise for god-induced
flamestrikes - you get a warning now so they are less just an
insta-death out of the blue.
You may thank the Annual Roguelike Release Party (ARRP) for this
release - it provided the impetus to get something out. If you like
POWDER, but are frustrated at the slow rate of development, I
strongly recommend checking the rest of the roguelike scene!
MSVC Express Edition 2008 project files and instructions added,
created by Andreas Bohm.
Tower shields are large. (Claudio)
"You cannot hide from I!" is now "You cannot hide from Me!"
(B. Perry)
Looking at a square will also describe any smoke there.
The dig spell now has the side effect of spraying the excavated
rock shards, damaging those around you.
Create Pit spell is now 10 MP rather than 15.
Blizzards fill the air with sleet and snow, not sleet and slow.
Though the latter does describe their special effect nicely.
New spell: Sandstorm
If a god decides to flamestrike you, you now get a few turns
warning to prepare yourself.
Monsters properly check safety of squares before stepping on
them.
If trapped inside a wall without Phase or Breathess, you will
suffocate. (Strange Child, Julian Agloro)

LinCity-NG is a City Simulation Game.
It is a polished and improved version of the classic LinCity game.
Within the scope of the GoTM project at happypenguin we have created a new
iso-3D graphics engine, with a completely redone and modern GUI.
A number of switches in the Quake makefile are no longer recognized
by the system compiler in DragonFly (gcc 4.4), e.g. -m486 and
-mpentium. These switches have alternatives such as mtune= that
allows Quake to build on i386-DragonFly, so the existing patches were
updated to used them.
i386-NetBSD-5.99 was verified as well. i386-NetBSD-5.1 remains
broken due to an unrelated X11 header buildlink problem
(Xxf86dga.h vs xf86dga.h)
General:
* Improved audio device detection and fallback.
There should be no more silent errors due to invalid audio devices.
