Can't start game from outside lobby

[Pithikos]

I run on Ubuntu 64x and I have the following problem. When I run "spring" it loads normally. I choose a mod and a map and when I click on "test game" an error pops up and the engine closes:

Code: Select all

Couldn't load archive 'map helper v1' for 'DeltaSiegeDry'.

This happens for any mod and any map I might choose

It looks like it has the same message that I get..

it looks like spring doesn't know the path of base-content.

from infolog.txt

"Using read-write data directory: /home/manos/.spring/
Scanning: /home/manos/.spring/maps
Scanning: /home/manos/.spring/mods"

but there should be a line like

Scanning:/usr/share/games/spring/base

you've installed an old version of spring, did you follow this instructions?

(current version of spring is 0.82.7.1)

Running "spring --version" shows that I have version 0.82.6.1
On Synaptic though it shows 0.82.7.1. I tryied to reinstall from there and I still get 0.82.6.1

[Pithikos]

I tryied complete removal from Synaptic and it detects only the springlobby there. Then I remembered that I had compiled from source the tarball that was on the site. Seems that tarball was not updated afterall. The question now is how can I uninstall the spring as I don't have the source files for 82.6.1 to make an uninstall and plus I can't wait that long. Would it work by just erasing some files?

[abma]

if you installed from tarball its usally in /usr/local

move them away:

mv /usr/local /var/tmp

and if something failed, move them back... (or rm if you are sure that it's safe)

Ok thanks. Seems I just had to remove the spring binary from /usr/local/bin
Now it works beautifully

yeah.. moving all of /usr/local would probably not be good (as its standard for self-compiled installs). i would recommend to remvoe all spring stuff under /usr/local though, there is still unitsync, basefiles, AIs, ... all of these can cause conflicts (in theory).
