Re: Using Ubuntu 8, cannot play game.
That tells me that you are using the old version from the Ubuntu repos there where several issues with it like not being able to run the setup app. so get the latest if you can our download page http://vegastrike.sourceforge.net/getfiles/ there is a Deb package available from the Debian repos the latest apparently has not made it to the Ubuntu repos so you have two choices Vega Strike 0.5.0 (RAR Archive) or the deb package from this page http://packages.debian.org/unstable/games/ get the one named just vegastrike the other packages are for the old version which you have and BTW welcome you could also get the development version if you feel brave compilation requiredUSING HOMEDIR : /home/steven/.vegastrike.4.x As the home directory

Re: Using Ubuntu 8, cannot play game.
I would try version 5 except libcups2, one of the files listed as a dependency for Vegastrike 5, will not install. It keeps giving me erros. How do I install a deb file that is saved to my desktop from terminal? What is the command for it please? I have also tried this program, 4 and 5, on Mandriva 2008.1 power pack and did not have luck there. Admittedly I did not try to run VegaStrike from terminal in Mandriva. I did not know in Linux that you needed to put ./ to make a file execute. Now I know! I am really interested in this game. I am a huge scifi geek and would like to try it. I am also a new Linux user but I learn fast. Thanks again so far. I am sure I'm missing some python version or some other file required as part of the dependency to get 4.x to work.

Re: Using Ubuntu 8, cannot play game.
Yeah i have a feeling that those Python errors are related to the fact the version 0.4.3 preferred Python 2.4.Python is now at 2.5 and there where some syntax changes in that update that break backward compatibility.Now Install that .Deb file have to tried double-clicking on it that should bring up the password dialogue box to continue the install.This works in fedora with rpms the cmd in a terminal will be sodo apt-get local install (the path to the .deb file) at least i think that will work i run fedora a rpm not a deb based system we use yum instead of apt-get what are those errors when tiring to install libcups2 that seems strange as i think that is part of the CUPS system which is for printing so that seems off.A couple of the guys run Ubuntu so we should get some more input on that Unless they think i got everything covered

Re: Using Ubuntu 8, cannot play game.
Ubuntu Intrepid ships the 0.4.3 data with the 0.5 engine. Hardy was before 0.5 so likely it depends on newer libraries than you have.
Not sure what that libcups is about--probably a dependency mistake (you can tell it to force dependencies but you still have to manually edit the packages file to remove it).
The reason they don't ship 0.5 data in Debian or Ubuntu is that it is too big for their repositories so they got the old data working with the new game engine. So basically if you want to try a 0.5 version of the game you need to download it off the sourceforge page.

Re: Using Ubuntu 8, cannot play game.
Don't use the Ubuntu repos, just download http://downloads.sourceforge.net/vegast ... irror=osdn, then
and follow the instructions
Code: Select all
tar xjvf vegastrike-linux-0.5.0.tar.bz2

Re: Using Ubuntu 8, cannot play game.
Yeah, the problems I have described in the thread "VegaStrike 0.5.0 crashing on both Win and Linux" still persist. My previous post wasn't an update on crashes, just an advice on how to run VegaStrike on ubuntu - since the repos are not updated.

Re: Using Ubuntu 8, cannot play game.
Been seeing some bad things about ATI's driver on various forums but since they are Linux forums they only mention Linux problems.How does it preform with other OpenGL games quake and it's free mods comes to mind.

Re: Using Ubuntu 8, cannot play game.
It runs quake3 on linux without a glitch (+everything else so far) and I had the exact same crash on Windows where tons of other games run well. So, VegaStrike 0.5.0 crashes the linux and the windows ATI driver too. However this is not the only problem. The second type of crash I have experienced happens in AUDAddWatchedPlayed, some code for handling sound. Maybe an out of bounds array indexing causes segfault.
I have tested the latest SVN too, but found more bugs and crashes.
By the way, how many coders are working on VegaStrike?

Re: Using Ubuntu 8, cannot play game.
About five core coders so we are spread pretty thin and all have real life time sinks to keep them occupied 24/7 academic concerns for the most part.
