Updated the package to version 1.0.0. Used vcmi-git for reference. Works on my machine (c)

Removed the outdated patches, since the bug seems to be fixed (https://github.com/vcmi/vcmi/commit/5d8e943787666543df6b858c001ab4e59b09fe2d)

Use stable ffmpeg instead of ffmpeg4.4 (https://github.com/vcmi/vcmi/pull/737)

Try to use fuzzylite-git if you can't build fuzzylite package

WARNING! There's a bug where your home directory will be wiped if you uninstall any mods using the vcmi launcher. It has been fixed in the development branch, but is still present in v0.99. Yes: I lost all my personal files. Luckily I have daily backups. https://bugs.vcmi.eu/view.php?id=2673

I am not able to compile this, I can't get past 3% due to it freezing up my system. I have 4GB of mem, yet it keeps draining them and crashing.

@salviati: I'm aware that there is already the development version of vcmi (0.95b), but this version is mainly intended for testers and it isn't considered as the stable version. This package however contain the stable version. If you want follow more closely the project you can use vcmi-git which is in fact the development version of vcmi (precisely speaking vcmi 0.95b was announced in git commit 1dbc0c7).

[Bump to version 0.95-1]. New upstream release. The changelog is as follows: http://forum.vcmi.eu/viewtopic.php?p=11664#11664 I've also removed -DENABLE_LAUNCHER='Yes' option. Now it's enabled by default.

@Arhat: Vcmi has many configuration files written in json data format. You can list with command: pacman -Ql vcmi |grep json The best way to change theme is to copy appropriate configuration files to corresponding directories within ~/.vcmi directory and there modify them (in this manner the original configuration files remain intact and your modified configuration files will not be overwritten when you install new version of vcmi in the future). So to answer your question, simply copy defaultMods.json file to ~/.vcmi/config directory with command: cp /usr/share/vcmi/config/defaultMods.json ~/.vcmi/config/ Edit it and change "STACK_EXPERIENCE" and "COMMANDERS" options from false to true value. BTW. This question should be directed to the vcmi forum :)

Thanks for your work here. Following the discussions in the vcmi forum, I gathered, that two WoG features should work with vcmi: commanders and stack experience. However I can't get either of them to work. I do have the Mods/WoG/Data/zvs Directory and the mod.json file. vmcilauncher says WoG is installed. Any ideas what else I need to look for?

[Bump to version 0.94-1]. New upstream release. The changelog is as follows: http://forum.vcmi.eu/viewtopic.php?p=10538#10538 I've also added qt5-base dependency in order to compile and run properly vcmilauncher (mod manager). vcmilauncher can automatically download and manage available mods for vcmi.

[Bump to version 0.92-2]. I have take advantage of pacman version 4.1 and slightly update the PKGBUILD. The changes I have made are: - removed from makedepends subversion (it shouldn't be there) - added a prepare() function which creates an empty build directory - added three new dependencies (desktop-file-utils, gtk-update-icon-cache, hicolor-icon-theme) in order to update icon and desktop files after installing, updating and removing the vcmi package - removed two dependencies (sdl, zlib) because they are already satisfied by other packages (respectively by boost-libs and sdl_image) - added a post remove message which tells that in order to completely remove the vcmi package you have to manually remove the ~/.vcmi directory If you encounter any problems with new PKGBUILD please leave here a comment.
