It's currently suspended due to heavy overload at work. Sorry.

However: 0.72 debian packages should be working fine. Have a look at http://fbo.no-ip.org/cgi-bin/twiki/view/Linux/DebSpring for information on how to install/download it.

Hi everybody, sorry about being so quite for the last days. I've been very busy at work which was eating so much time that I wan't able to either read or write anything here. First of all: Impressive work, hollowsoul :-) I heard about my scripts being badly documented. Here are some details, you mig...

fbo, could you include a menu entry for the next version? I've go an icon for you: ?package(spring):needs="X11" \ section="Games/Strategy" \ hints="spring,rts" \ command="/usr/bin/spring" \ title="Spring" \ longtitle="The TA Spring Project"...

Sorry, i meant FHS:

Also is fbo scripts debian / ubunto specifc ??? Lots of distros out there. Only had a quick glance at them myself to figure how to setup spring to use alsa :P Technically no. But... debspring is packaged as deb-files. I doesn't use much debian specific stuff in them so alien should be working. Howe...

I just submitted the first post to the new linux forum. I'm going to make future annoucements/answer questions/... there.

OK - I just couldn't resist being the first one posting here :-) It's already out for ~ a day but here are some comments about the new spring-scripts-package. There's a help screen for any script/command inside the package. Just use the well known -h or --help syntax. I added a syntax to the spring ...

How can you connect to a lan game? There's no explicit LAN game setup in spring-scripts right now. But you may setup a game using spring-setup onboth computers. Important: Choose gametype "menu". After that type spring -- -s on the first and spring -- -c on the second computer. fbo

spring-setup E: module 'tatextures_v062.sdz' (requested by Fleabowl10.sdz) is not available E: module 'tatextures_v062.sdz' (requested by FleabowlNR10.sd7) is not available Uhhh..Huh? Just installed the newest scripts, was working before. Add this line as root to the file /usr/share/spring/modextin...

well, my attempt to re-install spring (since running clean workdir completely ruined it) failed as the deb package has some obscene hidden file somewhere that won't let me either remove nor re-install spring-basedata, complaining things can't be found even though it should be doing a fresh install....

Word wrote:Yah, the -h or --help was the first thing I tried but as keithjr said, no dice.

Sorry, I'm currently implementing a cmdline parser that understands -h . Hold your breath, I'll post a temporary link to a brand new spring-scripts-package here soon.

http://www.fileuniverse.com/?p=showitem&ID=3609 This is the NTai XE9RC20 source, you'll ned to add it ontop of an existing XE9RC18 package tho as it has no data folders or grouPAI stuff in it, however it has a few changes whcih might make XE9 more viable on linux aswell as one or two gameplay f...

Clean workdir I assume would require you to re-run spring-setup to create a new workdir..not break your install. This is helpful if you get outdated information in your workdir and don't want to fiddle around to fix it. Correct. Cleaning the workdir just completely removes the symlink tree which is...

First of all the starwars mdo is overdue for a big update. As for replays, try passing it as a command aprameter. So far there's a windows lobby, and that supports replays etc, and I'm currently developing AFLobby in java which should give linux users a lobby client among other needed things. Cool....

Greetings from the Ubuntu forums, I'd like to say JOB WELL DONE on the deb spring project... this was by far the easiest game I've ever had the pleasure of getting running on linux. And the most fun. You're welcome. Keeping installation/configuration simple for newbies is my primary intention :-) ....

All the content that has been available in packages is available for automatic download via spring-setup now. Unfortunately, there are two exceptions: * fortress.z7 - a Map, which I'm not able to understand (neither is my map-metadata-parser :-( ) * HooverCommander - a mod depending on an older rele...

Word wrote:Seems to work well however if it were a mod such as final frontier would it be added to the installed packages list?

The lilguys-mod is just for testing. My intention is to have all (or most of the) mods/maps available for download.

so the version would be 2.9-1 and the package would be spring-scripts...this occurs when trying to update. The ftp-server began it's update cycle 18 minutes ago and there were heavy changes in the directory structure. Everything should be fine in ~ 50 minutes. BTW: there's already an update (2.9.1-...

Debspring features a content update concept now. Do an upgrade and use the map- and mod- selection dialogs to choose downloadeable content. Currently there's only one map and one mod available for download. This makes three ways to provide content to debspring: 1. debian packages 2. an arbitrary loc...
