Springlobby

[sillynanny]

Hi, i tried springlobby from the repository on Ubuntu 8.04.

- It seems it does not support watching replays yet. Am i wrong?

- Single player doesn't work because it starts spring without a script.txt, and spring started like that will ask for mod, map and gamemode, independent of what was setup in springlobby

- Everytime it starts it says "it looks like its the first time you are running springlobby, etc etc etc" and it never saves any configuration.

This is a very very VERY default install of Ubuntu, unlike my own personal install. If it doesn't work here, i doubt it will work anywhere.

It seems like it can't save its config and also can't save script.txt. Where is it trying to save them?

it's been fixed, it was a folder not being autocreated, you can fix manually by writing in a console

Code: Select all

mkdir ~/.springlobby

or wait that the package gets updated

Thanks. I thought it would be something simple like that because the program seemed pretty good otherwise.

Strange i never created that folder and i have it, are you using an old version of the lobby? (There was another lobby update for me today).

actually the whole dir creation issue was a bug introduced sometime after 0.0.1.10221 and fixed with 0.0.1.10283

It seems that when you mouseover the number of players in a game, the tooltip is sometimes wrong, with spectators being listed as players. For example, you can often see the autohosts as players.
