Spring RTS Engine

Hello

After years of trying without success or with headaches, to play Spring games in my OpenSUSE, I got it. I must give thank to community (Zero-K forum members help me a lot, like Anarchid or Vermind). This way is not recomended for newbies, cause you can not learn from excellent Zero-K demo-tutorials in a easy way. To learn, I recommend use Zero-K lobby, but for OpenSUSE nowadays is a headache, cause is no "install and play".

So the easiest way to play Spring games in OpenSUSE, in my humble opinion, is with the Web Lobby (http://weblobby.springrts.com/).
Requirements:

• - OpenSUSE default installation

• - Firefox latest version (Chrome, Chromium, Konqueror not working)

That's all!!! Finally you will be able to play!!

There is a static version downloadable for x32 and x64 Linux platforms (Windows too):
https://googledrive.com/host/0Bys6k7VMC ... JXR1pRV2M/ fully operative.

You only need to download it, extract archives and launch "WebLobby".

I am sure Web Lobby give Linux and Windows users the perfect way to play without headaches.

Zero-K missions are implemented in Weblobby, but the tab is currently hidden due to a small bug where mission downloads fail in a certain scenario. When this is resolved you'll be able to play missions in Weblobby too. Keep an eye out.

That sounds INCREDIBLE. You make my day and for new Linux spring users too. I look forward to that day!!. Be sure that I'll change my post on that moment about how to use Spring Web Lobby and tutorials. Really you are doing a fantastic job. I'm just buying a new graphics card for that day ; )

I want to offer again my help to translate to Spanish Web Lobby interface.

Thank you a lot for the good news!!

Bad news. Several months ago, something changed in Zero-K. I read that was server related, something like if Spring will not share their servers with Zero-K mod, for some disagreement between them. Result is I can't play with others players since then.

So, sorry, but this thread have no a solution right now to play Zero-K in OpenSUSE.

1 Start WebLobby
2 Click "use hyper-advanced future beta version"
3 Go to Settings
4 Type "lobby.zero-k.info" into "server" category where appropriate
5 Connect


Ideally step 2 will become unnecessary soon with rSWL becoming default.

I followed your instruction but didn't find any "use hyper-advanced ..." but "Try ReactSWL (alpha) (can connect to Zero-K server)" in version 1.5 for Linux64. So I click it and changed the server url to that you said and it's working!!! I can see Zero-K battles now!!!

Will you implement some way to auto-update weblobby? (like Jdownloader, or Telegram for example).

Tutorials not working will be fine too for begginners!!!

Thank you!!!

Bad news.

I can join battles, download maps, games, mods ... but when ready to start, and the button is green, I press it and nothing happens. All players can join but me. Even in battles with only a CAI bot and me, I press "Start game" and below appears "Battle in progress", but spring seems not to work.

However, I can play locally, without join any battle.

What's happening?

What version of spring your using, when does this start happening?

In this screencast you can see it all

Did you submit a bug report?

Well ... really not

I was commenting in this thread so I thought it was clear ...

The problem is that really we are talking about an "alpha" version, so , where do I report the bug? Weblobby state os development is so oddish that I really don't know how to report my bugs.

The github issue tracker is the place.

Your problem seems to be that spring is launched and then terminates immediately, so when making the issue, attach the following:

- Infolog, as ever
- ~/.spring/weblobby/weblobby.log

also wrong forum as you are not playing on lobby.springrts.com.
