FreeFT is an open-source, real-time, isometric action game engine inspired by Fallout Tactics, a game from 2001 created by an Australian company, Micro Forte.

Compiled binaries can be downloaded from SourceForge http://sourceforge.net/projects/freeft

For compilation, G++ in version 4.9 is required or Clang 3.4 (many C++14 features are used), and following libraries:

• libfwk (included as submodule): http://github.com/nadult/libfwk This library also depends on few other libs (SDL2, libogg, libvorbis, freetype2)

• zlib, OpenAL, mpg123, libzip:
  these should be available in your distro's package repositories

To run this program, resources from original Fallout Tactics are required. If you didn't grab a free copy from gog.com, then you can buy it on Amazon, or on Steam (when it will be available).

FT has to be installed and resources converted with a convert program. After instaling FT just run convert.exe. It might ask you to provide a path to original Fallout Tactics. The conversion shouldn't take more than a few minutes.

To convert resources under linux, you can use this command: ./convert -p "/home/user_name/.wine/drive_c/tactics/" all
