Speed Dreams 2.4.0

The latest stable release for the Speed Dreams project is now out! It is the first release since 2023, the first since I took on the lead development role in 2024 and also the first since we migrated from SourceForge and SVN to Forgejo and Git!

You can get the latest release from:

Tried to contribute there, but after registration on Forgejo, I can't open repository with 404 error.

If somebody wants Fedora dependencies:

👻 ps · 2025-02-01 at 23:05:

Just compiled but lol, can't find how to launch the game from menu

The 404 error is an undesired effect of the anti-abuse policies from this Forgejo instance. This was already reported to the admins, so I hope they can eventually fix it.

In the meantime, it requires me to manually add you into the speed-dreams organization. Could you please indicate your username on the instance?

I will add the build instructions for Fedora to the README.md. Thank you!

@xavi, thank you! I'm just curious—why do I see a 404 error code for the repository page after creating my account? Is it possible that my account hasn't been fully activated yet? I have already followed the activation link and can access my home page.

500 Internal Server Error.

@ps the 404 error code is part of the (somewhat unorthodox) anti-spam policies on this Forgejo instance. Interestingly, these policies would even block read-only access to the repositories for registered users, but not for anonymous users. 🤷 The only workaround is to manually add the user into the speed-dreams organization, so this is why I need your username account.

We already reported this issue to the administrators a few weeks ago, as we find this as a showstopper for potential new developers.

@TKurtBond unfortunately, it looks like this Forgejo instance went down recently. I have just reported this issue to the instance administrators - let's hope they can recover it soon! 🤞

EDIT: it looks like it went up again. @TKurtBond could you please try again?

👻 ps · 2025-02-03 at 16:43:

@xavi I've just wanted to share Fedora dependencies (above) - you have already added it, so thanks.

also, not sure I undestand this anti-spam protection because I should logout to use the repo, haha.

maybe the mirror on GitHub would be useful for idiots like me :)

👻 ps · 2025-02-03 at 16:45:

And finally, I don't understand why can't enter the game from launcher - is there some additional data assets required for game? like valve folder for half-life. sorry, I'm newbie, just intrigued to try it.

👻 ps · 2025-02-03 at 16:48:

.. also reviewed my dependencies list, maybe SDL2_mixer one is not required, just -devel one is enough. please correct me if somebody know. maybe it's extra one for building, but I have installed it, anyway

@ps The speed-dreams-code repository only contains the engine source code. It depends on the speed-dreams-data repository to work, which contains the game base assets.

The README.md in speed-dreams-code suggests to use speed-dreams-data as a submodule for extra convenience:
