ubuntu linux 1.1.0.4 problem

[masterrob213]

i downloaded it in the terminal and i went and clicked on it twice and nothing happened, what do i do?

[mikebefore]

click on Applications-Games-AssaultCube SVN. see if that works. or if it was listed.

i also have trouble when i click on it sometimes. sometimes not. sometimes i boot my computer and it works and sometimes it doesn't. it acts like it's going to load for a second and then just my desktop shows. i don't know if this is ubuntu or assault cube or what. this never happens with mozilla firefox web browser.

[V-Man]

By "clicked on it twice," do you mean "double-clicked?"

[Billybob]

When you have downloaded it you need to extract the tar file, then cd to the assaultcube directory and type

[SELECT ALL] Code:

./assaultcube.sh

[masterrob213]

i did the applications-games-assultcube svn but nothing happend again this is starting to get annoying. so now what?

[Billybob]

Make sure the sh and bin files have execute permissions too. I find that when i extract ac i have to chmod +x those files.

[masterrob213]

i have no idea what you mean im lost

nothings working at all

[tempest]

Look, we're not your babysitters here, so don't come crying "nothings working at all".
Did you enable execute permission for all groups on the bin/linux_client file?
Did you try opening a terminal, cd-ing to the AC directory and typing bin/linux_client ?

[JGAN]

._.

lets start from the beginning: what kind of computer, os version, and version of ac do you have?

[masterrob213]

os version=linux
version of ac=1.1.0.4
all i know is when i run assaultcube.sh it says excutible TEXT file

[OpenSource]

Try opening a Terminal and drag «assaultcube.sh» into the Terminal.

[masterrob213]

i found the problem i need to get * libSDL 1.2
* libSDL_image
* OpenAL
i got the libSDL 1.2 can anyone give me the terminal codes for the other two?

[spamma]

This information can easily be found on the main AC website. Infact, it's on the download page, I don't know how you missed it. Anyhow...

[SELECT ALL] Code:

sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2 libsdl-image1.2 libopenal1 libsdl-ttf2.0-0

...is what you're looking for. In future, read the docs.

[masterrob213]

[OpenSource]

Seems to me you have a messed up installation.
Maybe reinstall Ubuntu and try again.
Just a though.


@ spamma: Please stop quoting post without replying anything to them.

13. Do not engage in quote spamming, you will be given warning points everytime you do.

[masterrob213]

i may need OpenAL can you give me the terminal code for it?






and i tried to reinstall and that failed so anymore ideas?

[OpenSource]

[SELECT ALL] Code:

sudo apt-get install libopenal1 libopenal-dev

Edit: Just search in Synaptic Package Manager after «libopenal» or «openal». (Without «»)

[masterrob213]

ok i have everything i needed and i still get a black screen and i have to restart my computer

could the problem be my graphics card or do i need to upgrade to 9.10

[MacAdresS]

problem is with graphic drivers
what is your graphic?
Anyways you can try another drivers, my xubuntu offers two version of drivers

[masterrob213]

where can i find out about my graphics card?

[OpenSource]

System Tools -> Sysinfo
sudo apt-get install sysinfo

[flowtron]

Startup-Log output may contain useful information too. Add "-t" to the parameters when calling AC. For example (in a terminal):

[SELECT ALL] Code:

cd /path/to/where/I/unpacked/AC
./assaultcube.sh -t -w800 -h600 > log_to_review.txt 2>&1

Then go to a pastebin site and copy the contents of the newly created file "log_to_review.txt".

[masterrob213]

all that was there was this Intel corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]GE Chipset intergrated Graphics Device (rev 01)
Subsystem: Dell Device 0126

[OpenSource]

So you use the onboard card.
I recommend you buy a new graphic-card for your computer.
I have 82865G onboard and its not good playing AC with.
So i picked up a cheap ATI Radeon HD 2400 PRO and its way better.

[masterrob213]

so unless i get a ATi Radeon HD 2400 PRO i can't play ac?
