HI I tested it, the game/installer runs fine for me ( ubuntu 6.06 dapper 32bit )
Multiplayer vs other installation also tested(same official binary)


The only problem is the editor which crashes:

Code: Select all

tscharn@p60-3000:~/glest3.1$ ./glest_editor.i386
Segmentation fault
tscharn@p60-3000:~/glest3.1$ ./glest_editor
./glest_editor: line 138: 17002 Segmentation fault      ./${GAME_BINARY} ${CMD_ARGS} "${@}"


Whats you wx-widgets version?

Code: Select all

tscharn@p60-3000:~/glest_3.1.0$ wx-config --version
2.6.1


does 3.1.1 use the right binary now?

Our editor binary is build against version 2.6.3, maybe this is the problem?

We will release an update installer today, which will contain the 'official' binary.

For the next release, would it be possible to use our binary?
We can provide a reproducible state of the binary, very quick with the help of our buildsystem (https://build.opensuse.org/).

We will think about it.
Currently it's a good idea that I build the binaries, because I have the oldest distribution(ubuntu 6.06). By this you hopefully get no trouble with glibc versions and old libs using my binary.( But I can only build 32bit at the moment. )
Do you also have the possibility to compile with older libs?

Sorry I did it again because the glest linux community wants to play as soon as possible!
Here is my 32 bit linux binary( which will shure be the official one ) ( UPDATE: its the official one )
http://www.titusgames.de/glest_3.1.2_linux.tar.gz.
If you want (and you are fast ) you can build the official 64 bit one.
The game now includes a binary check!
This will sadly be the last update for a while because martino the main developer says he has no time for glest in the following months.

Code: Select all

What's new:
- Fixed slow building placement in ATI cards with catalyst 7.10 or newer
- Fixed fog of war smoothing
- Improved position picking when giving orders
- Fixed some glitches in shadows
- Added red colored building cursor when trying to build in an invalid
location
- Fix for empty chat messages
- Reduced Drake Rider morphing time from 120 to 80 and reduced splash
radius attack of a few units
- Improved battlemachine death animation
- The game now checks that all players are using the same binaries

Thanks titi, the updated installer contains the official binaries for x86.

I have it running on Ubuntu Hardy. The installer runs well. It's better than installing the 3.0 version from the ubuntu repositories. That one starts up in windowed mode.

Although, I am getting choppy sound in both builds. It sounds o.k. but it will crackle a little now and then.

Since it happens for me in both the loki installer and the one from the ubuntu repository I believe it may be some sort of setting on my end or issue with Glest and not a problem with the installer.

This is definitely no fault of the installer, either it's the game itself or your system setup. Maybe you find help in the Glest forum: http://www.glest.org/glest_board/

I did find a solution on the glest board that worked. You can check it out here:
http://www.glest.org/glest_board/viewtopic.php?t=3192

Basically what I had to do was change my /etc/openalrc so that it uses dsp instead of alsa. The new openalrc should look like this:

(define devices '(dsp))
(define alsa-device "default")
(define speaker-num 2)
(define sampling-rate 44100)

Thanks for this information and enjoy playing Glest without choppy sound

Hello i have ubuntu 8.04 .
i can install the game when i make chmod 750 on the installer.
can i uninstall the game with the installer too.

Hi vongoldi, yes you can.
There is a script called 'uninstall' in the installation directory.
Run it.
