Spring RTS Engine

One thing i noticed is that some (at least one) mods are outdated, and placing the new version on the mod folder doesn't work, it won't recognize it. With the frequency of mod updates, maybe the mods should be removed from the packaging system and instead placed as normal files?

It's on my todo list to make debspring manage mods and maps on arbitrary directories. Some houts of my weekend will be devoted to that issue.

Which mod is the outdated one? I'll try, always to have the latest one available aas packages.

that did the trick for me

I doesn't work for me:

mainwindow.cpp: In constructor 'MainWindow::MainWindow(QApplication*, QWidget*)':

I tried with gcc-4.1, 4.0 and 3.3 always the same problem. Do you have an Idea, Tobi?

Hm, maybe I had to fix that before it worked. It's a long time ago I tried it. Once I booted on Linux again I'll try again from a fresh extraction of the archive.

AA is packaged 1.46 i think and its at 1.5 now. Also a new version of AA will come out as soon as a new version of spring does, to use its new features.

No clue, it compiles fine here (Ubuntu Dapper, GCC 4.0.3)

Does firstrundialog.h exist before you run make?

Debian provided new gcc-4.1-packages that fixed the problem. I'm happy now .

Hello,

i am new here and tryed the Debian Sid Packets for Spring. I do spring-setup and want to start spring but get following error:
Did someone know whats wrong?

Thanks

Well done so far working perfectly fine on Ubuntu Dapper for me.
Is there any chance of changing the settings? (like tree distance, inverted mouse or name)

Yes, if someone knows, where to find all the .springrc-options...

I do.

When I started to make spring packages, I didn't know about the implicit optimization settings which make the resulting binaries depend on the build-system's cpu.

This is fixed for some hours now. The ftp server will provide the changes in a day or two. If you don't want to hold your breath: Here are the deb-package of the brand new release (0.72b1) and the svn-trunk. Both of them are compiled without optimization.

(URLs are only temporary!)

ftp://fbo.no-ip.org/t/spring-svn_0svn-2 ... d_i386.deb
ftp://fbo.no-ip.org/t/spring_0.72b1-1+9sid_i386.deb

Good luck,

fbo

Why not uplaod to FU instead of keeping temporary urls?

FU can't be used for debian repositories because it works on a per file basis (you can't upload a whole directory structure which would be accesible in the same way [as a directory structure] from the web).

ooh, so couldnt you upload it somewhere such as a webhost then? Maybe Fnordia could do it?

Problem ist, the repository consists of ~ 300 files which makes most sync methods != rsync unhandy. The server at gwdg was the only one I could find to provide rsync-fetch (rsyncd would be ok, too) service.

I got my internet access upgrade yesterday - 0.8MBit/s. This way I'll be able to decrease the ftp-servers update cycle to ~ 6h which will make package updates available a lot faster.

@all the sid fans out there: I re-enabled the temporary links to the sid packages at fbo.no-ip.org. The links will stay valid until all the new packages are on the ftp-server.

The files say i need libc6, did a synaptic search and it is installed on my system?

Debian uses a newer/different version of libc6 than kubuntu/ubuntu do. If you try and install it it will break about 20 other important packages.

The links I posted were part of a reply to a post of a sid user. I don't recommend ubuntu users to install different libcs. This is why I build all the binary packages for 3 debian "flavors":
* Debian Sid
* Debian Sarge
* Ubuntu Dapper
If anyone is missing his favorite distri, just drop me a note - the build process is fully automated now - more debian distris are no problem.

I made a lot of changes to most of the packages during weekend. Guess the time, when the ftp server will provide them ...

I know they were to different debian "flavors" just explaining to clericvash why he was having problems with those...and umm...6 hours from your post? or have you changed the update frequency yet? o.O

All new packages were uploaded to the server. spring-setup is "optimized for newbies" (tm) now which means, running it and starting spring starts spring in singleplayer-vs-NTAI mode.

Hints:

If anyone is missing the menu in spring itself - just set gametype (menupath: spring-setup/game/gametype) to "menu".

Gametype "single2" is not working correctly, yet. Sorry.

Gametype "demo" is very entertyining. You could watch i.e. NTAI and JCAI fight each other. AI 'aai' will work only if package 'spring-ai-aai' is installed *and* spring-0.71b1 is in use. This is why I packaged this rather old version, too.

Choosing more than one map will cause the first map to be selected if gametype is != menu. This is confusing and will be changed in the next release.

Have fun

These packages should be coming from the repository correct? if so then they aren't being served correctly.
Edit- played with it some more to get more details -

And doing apt-get update --fix-missing doesn't fix it. Hope this helps.
