Oct 2010 - Linux client

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,780 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 I managed to get a build of the Linux client working. It should automatically patch if you run the patcher (darkwindLobby.jar) The engine file itself is here: http://www.dark-wind.com/gameEngine/darkwind.bin.zip It seems fine under my Debian installation, but I'm having trouble running it under a newer Ubuntu installation due to versions of GCC that it's linking against.. version 3.3 was required for compiling, due to problems compiling legacy code using 4.X.. Ubuntu however comes with 4.X installed.. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Oct 18, 2010, 7:09 pm

Maybe you could check it out. Thanks for that, I'll have a go at making those suggested Torque changes. lordbam said: on my misses her computer i had to install a library: libstdc++.so.5 I tried to statically link this, because I had the same problem on Ubuntu.. but it didn't work. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Oct 19, 2010, 8:25 am

I read that if you are using a 64 bit os you have to install the 32 bit version..... I'll  look it up tonight how to do that. ......................... vet wv zom0,3,0 Posted Oct 19, 2010, 9:51 am

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,780 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 I made the Torque changes and have re-uploaded the file: http://www.dark-wind.com/gameEngine/darkwind.bin.zip I also had some more unsuccessful attempts to get a statically linked c++ library working. It seemed to insist *everything* was statically linked in that case, which is fine, but when I linked in the ogg and vorbis .a files, the .bin file was created ok but wouldn't run. I dunno, these Linux installations are all too varied, aren't they... ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Oct 19, 2010, 10:08 am Last edited Oct 19, 2010, 10:11 am by *sam*

Procyon Weak Head Normal Forms Autodueller Renegade Group: Members Posts: 384 Joined: May 31, 2009 The unable to download mods error appears to only happen when not runnining the darkwind.bin in the root directory of a full darkwind install. I downloaded the macOS zip file, unzipped, copied the bin to the root directory of the unzipped install and ran it and it starts beautifully. There are a few issues with keys though. Shift, cntrl, alt, mod4, capslock and f10-12 actually produce printable characters rather than serving as modifiers, so it appears that the keycode mapping is a bit wrong. I get a popup in lobby about openAL drivers (using pulsaaudio with an ALSA passthrough) so no sound for my I guess. I haven't actually played anything yet, as the script updater hasn't fired. Going to see if I can get that working now. Arch Linux with Oracle jre6 ......................... vet wv pvp3 Posted Jan 14, 2011, 4:22 am

Procyon Weak Head Normal Forms Autodueller Renegade Group: Members Posts: 384 Joined: May 31, 2009 Okay. Got a lobby update and was able to spectate events. Looking good there. I seem to get a constant motion of the camera along some vectors which appear to be random if I am moving camera with mouse, or constant at about 5/4*pi radians parallel to the ground if I press left shift (whose output in the client in '0' which may be numeric keypad navigation triggering). Biggest problem seems to be that the mouse will only go about 4/5th of the way across the screen to the right, so I cannot select any options to play with my settings. I tried editing darkwind/client/prefs.cs but that file appears to do nothing at all. If I could play with options I might find a better compatibility mode to run in. Does darkwind.bin take command line params, or is there a way to massage a prefs file? ......................... vet wv pvp3 Posted Jan 14, 2011, 5:03 am

Procyon Weak Head Normal Forms Autodueller Renegade Group: Members Posts: 384 Joined: May 31, 2009 Random vector is not random. It appears that if camera pitch is parallel to ground, then movement stops. If towards round, movement is backwards, and forward if towards sky. Got java to window mode instead of full screen (not sure how) and so mouse problems aren't a problem anymore. ......................... vet wv pvp3 Posted Jan 14, 2011, 5:50 am

Procyon Weak Head Normal Forms Autodueller Renegade Group: Members Posts: 384 Joined: May 31, 2009 I got through a travel. Some weirdness near the town of firelight which I think was due to an extremely low framerate (intel integrated graphics on this thing and something about FL makes all my machines lag badly). Other than that and the fact that I cant change camera pitch without moving my position, it seems to work great. Looks like it is keycodes and pitch bug that are the primary native linux client showstoppers. I'm going to use this client for a bit and see what else I dig up. ......................... vet wv pvp3 Posted Jan 14, 2011, 6:44 am

Got it working via WINE and Java installed under Wine and patch - more on Linux newbie thread. And yes, it would be Good For Business (tm) to get the game to offical Ubuntu Software Center. ......................... vet wv Posted Jul 9, 2012, 4:36 pm

Jarkko Niemi FireWolf Sunday Driver Civs Faction Group: Members Posts: 91 Joined: Jul 8, 2012 After updates, I can't get the game working via WINE. Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit gives Compiz errors. Of course reports are sent to maintainer. Maybe I have to test can I get it working natively. ......................... vet wv Posted Mar 29, 2013, 10:07 am

Jarkko Niemi FireWolf Sunday Driver Civs Faction Group: Members Posts: 91 Joined: Jul 8, 2012 No luck with native support. $ ./darkwind.bin ./darkwind.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory even when I have that installed: $ sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2debian libsdl1.2debian is already the newest version. So I have to just wait and hope that WINE had some bug, and it gets fixed at some day. After my gangers are healed, then I check that vacation-mode here. ......................... vet wv Posted Mar 29, 2013, 10:29 am

Jarkko Niemi FireWolf Sunday Driver Civs Faction Group: Members Posts: 91 Joined: Jul 8, 2012 I downloaded MacOSX version. Unzipped, feeded darkwindLobby.jar to Java. Updater starts, and downloads almost 300 files. I log in. Get first small splash screen. And then darkwindClient.exe just begins to run circles. nothing happens, exept it takes considerable amount of processor time - after waiting something to happen withing 15-20 minutes - I kill the process. Looks like I can't really do anything more to get game working today. Okay, maybe that virtuabox is last hope, lets see how bad deprivation symptoms I will get. ......................... vet wv Posted Mar 29, 2013, 2:53 pm Last edited Mar 29, 2013, 2:53 pm by Jarkko Niemi
