message ...

Got time to burn.
So guess i emerge latest svn & see if its svn / sdl header problem

[hollowsoul]

SVN = Fine atleast for configuring compiling away atm.

Type

Code: Select all

emerge -Dua libsdl

Ebuild doesnt have sdl in its depend list.

Thanks for the help ...

I got it to compile ...

Now, I have another issue ...

using read-write data directory: /home/XXXXXXX/.spring/
using read-only data directory: /usr/share/games/taspring-linux-svn/
using read-only data directory: /usr/share/games/taspring-linux-svn/
using read-only data directory: /usr/share/games/taspring-linux-svn/
using read-only data directory: /var/tmp/portage/taspring-linux-svn-0.72-r2/image///usr/share/games/taspring-linux-svn/
Warning: ERROR
Could not set video mode

Now I need to set the video mode ... If you know of a fix
can you post it ...

Thanks ...

Try a lower resolution if u have changed the resolution via spring-gui or by editing ~/.springrc.

Only thing i can think of. Believe u cant set a higher resolution than what xorg is at.

[genblood]

I looked at the /.springrc file. It's empty ... what should be in it ?

Most likely thats why it isn't working right ....

Can someone post what should be in it ...

[Tobi]

Use e.g.

Code: Select all

XResolution=1024
YResolution=768

for setting the resolution.

[own3d]

My settings are pritty much all at max but never mind you can change them in spring-gui:


my .springrc file

Code: Select all

TreeRadius=1408
Fullscreen=1
FSAALevel=16
MaxSounds=16
TeamNanoSpray=0
GroundDecals=3
VerboseLevel=0
GroundDetail=120
ReflectiveWater=3

ShowPlayerInfo=1
ShowClock=1
AdvUnitShading=1
SpringData=/path/to/datadir/
GrassDetail=10
SoundVolume=60
MaxParticles=5000
Shadows=0
FSAA=0
AdvSky=1
UnitIconDist=600
CatchAIExceptions=1
DynamicSky=1
name=player
XResolution=1024
YResolution=768

U wont need to define datadir. Since u are using gentoo ebuild. It defines datadir via /etc/spring/datadir

[pheldens]

this is the correct svn url https://taspring.clan-sy.com/svn/spring

is your video driver correctly setup ?

or : does glxgears work ?

[genblood]

Icebird

The glxgears works ... most likely it's me ...


Going to rebiuld the complete system ...
