I really hope someone picks up Gearhead 2, I just spent a few hours playing it and the space combat sucks(which is the majority of the combat it seems, unfortunately) but the ground combat is pretty fun/cool as long as you switch to menu controls instead of roguelike controls, which are the default but completely erase the slow plodding feel of the mech combat. Needs more ground combat content, probably just more content in general. I'll try Gearhead 1 sometime this weekend, the old binary version crashes on launch for me so I'll have to figure out this whole compiling source code from github business.

To figure out some of the mechanics I just googled and used cached forum threads from the old dead gearhead forums to figure things out, and the in-game manual is sorta useful too. The controls are a pretty huge mess in general, you might want to have a look at gearhead.cfg to figure things out and definitely change the mech commands to menu instead of roguelike.

Getting freepascal set up is an absolute pain. Anyone just have a pre-compiled github source Gearhead 1/2 sitting around?

You can also get a free one from the arena in the starting town.

Does anyone happen to have any of the old Gearhead 1/2 community mods laying around? I remember one in particular for GH2 that added a huge variety of variants and things, like a tanky combat haiho.

Archonex posted:The Gearhead forums are almost completely logged on the internet archive. Same with the wiki. You might be able to get the links from there. They're also great for finding out what does what if you're too lazy to read the in-game manual. If you can find it post it here, because I want to try that out. I managed to track it down, but it was hosted on rapidshare. http://web.archive.org/web/20101225141047/http://www.gearheadrpg.com/forum/index.php/topic,1200.15.html Marcus Garvey fucked around with this message at 01:40 on Feb 24, 2016 |
