Version log — Dune 2000 Online

v1.8

October 29, 2026 latest

Game
One construction at a time While the Construction Yard builds, the whole menu is greyed out — buildings, walls and slabs — until the work is done. Sell stays available on any finished building's sheet.
Game
Build even with no credits A structure can be placed with an empty purse: the site waits for credits and resumes on its own. Only concrete, poured at once, still needs its full price.
Audio
Battle music at the right moment Battle themes no longer start before the enemy does: an enemy unit has to be actually spotted, in your field of view or on the radar. A foe still under the fog triggers nothing.
Game
Radar: no more black holes Explored ground stays on the minimap, even after a slowdown or coming back to the tab. Lit tiles and remembered ground read differently again, as in the original.

Game
The Fremen New playable house: Fremen infantry at the barracks (after an upgrade), Sonic Tanks from the heavy factory and Ornithopters from the palace. Their troops walk the rock paths where vehicles stop.
Game
The Mercantile Guild Cousin to the Ordos, in yellow: Harkonnen Devastators and Atreides Sonic Tanks, Guild siege tanks from the palace, and never an Ornithopter. An arsenal like no other.
Game
In-game chat Press C to open chat, in multiplayer and immersive modes. Messages travel through the match room — allies and opponents read them.
Audio
Sardaukar voices Sam recorded the Sardaukar: announcements, reinforcements and battle lines, with his name in the contributor credits.
Game
Starport and match options Carry-Alls are finally for sale at the Starport, and prices follow supply and demand. Sandworms and crates can be toggled when creating a game, in every mode.
Game
AI and harvesters Carry-Alls deliver harvesters to the refinery again, harvesters no longer abandon their field after a scare, and the AI keeps building and defending over the long run.

Game
Redrawn desert Sand, rocks and heavy rock now follow proper cardinal edges: borders connect, rock fields read at a glance.
Game
Paths and rocks Paths can be walked, rocks never driven. Hold a pass with infantry, or go around a fortress.
Game
Slabs and craters A fight on a concrete slab damages it: the slab breaks and leaves a crater, as in the original.
Performance
Performance Huge maps, immense mode and phones: rendering, radar and simulation got lighter without touching the art.

Wiki
Wiki comments Every unit, building and house has a public page: player comments, replies, avatars, view counts. The pills at the top filter players who are online and in a match.
Wiki
Full profiles Your profile gathers your forum topics and your comments, with stats for the units and buildings you follow.
Site
Contributor badges People who gave their time carry a Contributor badge on their profile and the forum — voices, development, helping hands.
Site
Private messages Message reactions, deletion that leaves a “message deleted” tombstone, and a “typing…” hint in the thread and the conversation list.

October 2026

Wiki
The game wiki Full sheets for units, buildings and houses: role, stats, lore and cross-links, in the site's four languages with localised addresses.
Audio
Sheet music Every sheet carries a track from the game, with fade in and out — and a button to turn it off.
Site
Search visibility Share previews, structured data, breadcrumbs and a sitemap: the wiki can now be found from a search engine.
Site
Contribute page The work behind the game, Interac donations and the contributor credit, all explained in one place.

October 2026

Game
Radar and walls The minimap covers the whole terrain, the right way round, and walls finally meet cleanly at their corners.
