This is the version 1.06 patch for Dune 2000. It provides 10 new multiplayer maps, 2 new tilesets, updated balancing, and 3 new units. The Atreides have the Grenadier, Harkonnen the Sarduakar, and Ordos the Stealth Raider.
The patch is finally ready, and the bugs like crashes in starport menu are gone now. You can finally play Dune 2000 in hi-res, which makes selecting units and pending to the map a lot easier. Please note: in order to get both the sub-houses fix and the mission select mod working with the script, you should install both BEFORE you apply the high-res patch. It is also advised (according to the readme) to install the patch on a fresh copy of Dune 2000, without old hi-res patches or unfinished mods. The vanilla (original CD) version of Dune 2000 and the patched-for-multiplayer version (with Windows 7 fixes & IPX fixes) are supported. As of 1.4.0 there is also support for undoing the patch.

Wouldn't it be the same thing to add a bunch of community-patched stuff over the original disc version as to just directly download gruntmods? lol. I mean, you do have the disc, you own the game, I see no issue with just downloading Gruntmods
I have a portable version that I use to mess when I am trying to use Tibed, new colors and so on, so I don't touch my gruntmods versions, and since it is portable I can do multiple copies or extract the .zip again withouth needing me to install or anything. So, for this portable version of the game I only copy the dune2000.exe, config.exe and the launcher. The config because game may not launch, or do it in a weird looking way, and the launcher because at the end of the day I am going to load my playground map with editions and personal tests, but if it was for playing the vanilla game the dune2000.exe could be enough.
Here, on this post there are some instructions on how to install your game from the CD and the patching needed. It has listed the dune2000.exe and the config.exe, but it could be possible that even withouth the config the game works, just with default resolution but it depends on the computer and the graphical cards or something about that.
Thanks so much! I guess, after the FunkyFresh install, I would probably want to download the Gruntmods-exclusive map packs and music tracks, provided GruntLord6 put them online for individual download. I think I also like the idea of self patching vanilla Dune 2k, because the most recent Gruntmods update doesn't have the updated Hi-Res pack, which supposedly allows Dune 2k to be run at HD resolutions without the graphics being heavily reduced in size.
So besides the compatibilty and a few things to make life easy (like the game crashing near the end of mission 7 where only a few harvesters were alive, either you replay the whole mission or skip into mission 8 directly by using the "mission select" on the main menu) it is just the usual dune 2000.
Int the Hirez patch available the same as gruntmods? I use the Queue.exe and use the Hi-Rez patch that is downloadable and it seems to work? I also use the mission selector, all downloaded separate and installed.
I assume you have the English Dune 2000 version 1.You will need to download:- Universal Extractor. link- Dune 2000 1.06 patch. link- FunkyFresh adjusted DUNE2000.EXE link- FunkyFresh Dune 2000 Config tool. link
Hi! We are using DxWnd for dune 2000 and it works great! Today a noticed a weird bug, for any reason the videos are getting stretched in width when DxWnd is enabled, but the height stays normal. Any idea why this could happen?
Latest dune2000.exe/dune2000config.exe are not included in the gruntmods download yet, but you can the files here if you like to take a look at my "hack": -dune-2000-106p-game-patching-bug-fixes-new-features/
Yes, I just quickly renamed dune2000.ini to dxwnd-proxy.ini since it was just a copy/paste of my dune2000 patch where I tried to filter out everything that wasn't needed for dune 2000 to keep it simple for the end users. It should be changed to read the bitfields from the .ini files to keep the full functionality!
I'm a sucker for this classic game. Originally the trainer stopped working after Windows 98SE, most likely due to the slight architecture differences between Win9x and WinNT (2000 and XP were based off NT.) I paid someone on RentACoder.com to patch up Razor's trainer so it would work under Windows XP, and he did a pretty good job. All of the features appear to work, except for "Show Map (F4)".
have not tried other emulators as i don't have a need to. it was either Gruntmods or run on a proper retro PC. although, there are instructions on how to install/patch it for 64-bit Windows on pcgamingwiki: _2000 if you want to do it manually.
Hi, I actually made a universal installer for Dune 2000. It asks for the original CD-ROM, detects the language and installs the appropriate 1.06 update as well as a DirectDraw wrapper. No mod will be installed : the goal was to bring back the original look and feel of the game. You can see it here and download it through the description :

Coastal dune vegetation has been proved to contribute to several crucial ecosystem services, as coastal protection, water purification, recreation; conversely, its capacity to regulate the concentration of greenhouse gases received less attention. To fill this gap, the present work focalized on the assessment of the contribution of coastal dune herbaceous vegetation to carbon storage and carbon sequestration rate, also in relation to possible effects of disturbance. To this aim, we measured the dry biomass and carbon sequestration rate in three different vegetation types (foredune, dry grasslands, humid grasslands), and habitat patch attributes as proxies of the disturbance regime. Relationships between disturbance, and carbon storage and sequestration rate have been analysed by GLMMs. The target vegetation types did not equally contribute to the medium-long term sequestration of carbon with a gradient that increased from the seashore inlands and related to both the growth form and the strategy of resource acquisition of dominant species, and plant community attributes. Disturbance in the form of trampling negatively affected carbon sequestration rate. Results suggest that, when different plant communities are spatially interconnected, the landscape scale results in a better understanding of ecosystem dynamics, functioning and resistance to perturbations and allows to plan coherent management strategies.
Given the alarming conservation status of coastal dunes (Janssen et al. 2016, Prisco et al. 2020, Guimarais et al. 2021), and the important role of plant communities in such systems, the aims of our research were a) to quantify the contribution to climate regulation service (i.e., carbon storage and carbon sequestration rate) provided by coastal dune herbaceous vegetation, and b) to analyse the effect of landscape pattern on the service provision. To this aim, we measured plant biomass and carbon sequestration rate of different vegetation types and we tested whether landscape spatial pattern influences these community attributes. We hypothesise that vegetation types occurring in well conserved, non-disturbed systems (e.g., low trampled, and with large and integer patches of vegetation) provide the service more efficiently, i.e., have a higher plant biomass and carbon sequestration rate, than those occurring in disturbed environments.
The analyses at patch level revealed a negative effect of disturbance in the form of trampling on both standing biomass and carbon sequestration rate. In line with previous studies (Martínez et al. 2006, Delgado-Fernandez et al. 2019), our results showed that the contribution to the climate regulation service is reduced where dune habitats are degraded by human disturbance, with a decrease in the carbon sequestration rate that can be as high as 60% in high trampled areas. Human trampling has already been identified as one of the most detrimental threats to sand dune ecosystems worldwide. Trampling mostly acts at local scale by reducing individual plant fitness of less tolerant species (e.g., slow-growing species; Silan et al. 2017), thereby selectively filtering susceptible species. By increasing sand movements, human trampling also influences seed germination patterns, thus affecting resident species that require seed burial for germination (Del Vecchio et al. 2021). Trampling has been also identified as a crucial factor in facilitating the establishment of alien and opportunistic species, many of which show an annual life cycle, and therefore do not contribute to the medium-long term carbon sequestration (Rose and Hermanutz 2004, Jørgensen and Kollmann 2009, Del Vecchio et al. 2015, Smith and Kraaij 2020). All these local processes synergistically lead to species replacement and species loss and gain, and/or variation in species density, that have repercussions at the community level, altering community structure and function. Changes in these vegetation features may have substantial impacts on the habitat quality of individual sand dune patches within the landscape, ultimately hindering the provision of the climate regulation service. 2ff7e9595c
