Introduction ------------ GemRB (Game Engine Made with preRendered Background) is a "port" (actually a new implementation) of the original Infinity Engine (the one of Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, Planescape: Torment, ...) to Linux/Unix, MacOS X and Windows with some enhancements. Would you like to create a game like Baldur's Gate? It means that you either need some of the ORIGINAL game's data somewhere on your harddisk, or you can try to use the data from the Dragonlance Total Conversion project - see the link below. The original game data has to be installed on a windows partition and mounted or copied to your (Linux/Unix) filesystem, installed with WINE or extracted manually from the CDs using the tool `unshield'. What little documentation exists is mostly in gemrb/docs/en/ and subdirectories, the gemrb.6 man page, this file and the website. Supported platforms ------------------- Supported (i.e. we got reports about successfully running GemRB) systems: Linux x86, x86-64, ppc FreeBSD x86 MS Windows various Macintosh systems (even pre x86) also should work ... some smart phones (Symbian, Android, other Linux-based, Ios) some consoles (OpenPandora, Dingoo) some exotic OSes (ReactOS, SyllableOS, Haiku, AmigaOS) g++ 4.3 is known to miscompile gemrb. Requirements ------------ See the INSTALL file. Contacts -------- Our homepage: http://gemrb.org Our project at sourceforge.net: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gemrb New GemRB forum (users): http://gibberlings3.net/forums/index.php?showforum=91 IRC channel: The best way to talk with us is by joining the #GemRB channel on the FreeNode IRC network. There's somebody to talk with most of the time.

fixes trap spawns spawning enemies right on top of you, instead of at the desired point. Very obvious in Firkraag's dungeon (ar1202) with the trap right before Samia — the wolfweres should be summoned in the corridor just before the elemental well. Same for golems and vampires. Visible also in beholder lairs CreateCreatureAtFeet is not used by default, so CC_OFFSET is fine for now
