I already have otacontent.sdz but I still can't run it

Post by lonelysheep »

I install spring and map is "Comet Catcher Redux"
mods is "BA chicken defense v1.50"
and in my spring data path "~/.spring/base"
already has file
|-- infolog.txt
|-- otacontent.sdz
|-- spring
| `-- bitmaps.sdz
|-- springcontent.sdz
|-- tacontent_v2.sdz
`-- tatextures_v062.sdz

but when I run the game, it still show the message:

"Unable to load default cursor. Check that you have the OTA
content package ("otacontent.sdz") installed in your Spring
"base/" directory."

so I can't run the game

Code: Select all

grep SpringData ~/.springrc
SpringData should be "~/.spring" not "~/.spring/base".

AFAIK chicken isnt standalone, you need BA 6.5 mod to play it

... shouldn't the message mention a file that was in the actual dependencies rather than telling you to look for otacontent as a hardcoded message?

That's funny, because I've been having exactly the same issues. I've installed and ran many versions of Spring on many computers and never run into this problem. Also I am not trying to run any of the BA mods, I was trying AA2.23. Any other ideas?

AA2.23 is very old and may not be supported under the current version of Spring. Changes may have broken it.
