Flame - Dungeon Keeper 2 partial recompilation with bug fixes

[DiaLight]

Hello Keepers! For the last few years I've been digging into the internals of the machine code of Dungeon Keeper 2. With the Keeper Clan community help I have written a mod that fixes some known bugs of the game.
The source code is available https://github.com/DiaLight/Flame

Bugs currently fixed:

- Threat response bug, fixing the 1.7 AI to fight back
- North/South bug gone + backstabbing fixed
- Workshop cost bug
- WASD controls by default, QE - roteate, Mouse wheel - zoom
- Mouse control rewritten from dinput to user32 messsages

If you have any questions or bug reports, I will answer them in the Keeper Klan Discord channel https://discord.gg/RvrQpCFUZc

I've duplicated this post in the modding guides. Not sure where it should be

It still gets worked on and there has already been another release since this post. Which already fixes one of these things and several other things.

Is the AI fixed in Skirmish? I did a few rounds with different AI types and it's still lobotomized.

- problem with spawn: copy Data directory from flame.zip with replacement to the game directory. Data directory contains patched level files for the campaign
- widescreen: I already tried to break rendering resolution limits in another project called Ember, but it also breaks the GUI. I have already planned to migrate patches from the old project to support wide screen resolutions, but at the moment this is not a priority

AI is not completely fixed. Only the AI ​​response to threats has been fixed. The rest of its problems are still on the list of unfixed bugs
