I read the article on Phoronix.
Looks good, I played oil imperium (on DOS) a lot, wondering if there are any minigames like holding the drill in the right position

[smashy]

Unfortunately you can't drill in the right position , maybe with the next build
No minigames , but both mode real time strategy (original game ) and tower defense , you can find 2 basic how to (rts mode ) , one map for tower defense , 4 maps for a skirmish vs AI and LAN is up .

nice game but remember is not a full game , beta build . Amazing linux game , enjoy ! :D

Bought it too, but i still get the full Version if it arrive or not? I wonder about the low Price of 15 €.
(Its nice to pay with a normal german bank transfer!)

Personally i don't like Tower defend games and hoped that this is much fun as Comand Conquer. But still think that game would be great, cause some friend's still love these Hero of Newearth games ;) There i have not much time to learn the skills of the Hero's. But i love to defend my base in Starcraft2 against wave of the alien Monsters.

Hope that Oil Rush have a nice Multilayer Mode.

Yeah! This was a nice game, played it last year on a retro-Lan-Party ^^
Its still available (in the net ;)) and playable with dosbox. But the game lost some charm. Would love if there will be a Economic Mod for Oil-Rush, where you have to buy and sell oil or ships like in Ports of Call (TradeMark). Maybe you could write a Modification for "holding the drill in the right position" ^ ^

Or do some sabotage on the opponents Platform, or create Independent Server-Farm on your oilrig... ;)

[smashy]

From the official website of the game.

the release date is moved to June in order to complete the balanced and polished single player campaign.

Mod SDK available

and now from twitter "A creative way to support OilRush" Tell a joke, get OilRush! http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/03/tell ... t-oilrush/ maybe one lucky user can get one free copy .

happy gaming

To have sound on amd64 (thanks to this post:

Code: Select all

# emerge emul-linux-x86-sdl

For the radeon open source driver guys out there, it won't run, extension GL_ARB_half_float_pixel is missing in the Gallium driver (tested on HD4770 with x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati-9999)
You could start it with:

Code: Select all

MESA_EXTENSION_OVERRIDE=+GL_ARB_half_float_pixel ./1024x768 1024x768_windowed.sh

It plays nice sound, but just blanks the screen a couple of times and I saw some waves.... Ends with:

I haven't tested the binary drivers... will probably work.

oops, for internal use only, confidential information?!?

[Kingoftherings]

If I'm not mistaken, that missing OpenGL extension is one of the patented parts of OpenGL 3. So it'll probably be some time before that gets implemented.

This mailing list post talks about some other patented floating point extensions which some developers want to merge into Mesa. We'll have to see if this does get merged, but it's looking good since Eric Anholt, one of the main Intel devs, said he'd like to see it merged.

very fun little game, prob is it crashes after about 10min. seems to be a problem effecting quite a few people

very fun little game, prob is it crashes after about 10min. seems to be a problem effecting quite a few people

There is a version bump. It's now a new beta version 0.6 and they say they fixed the crashes. (I had none so far on ati)

[Naib]

SWEET! There was a fix for the crashes so it did improve but a new build is good. was expecting it in 2weeks!

[j_c_p]

I'm in too guys .
The last version (0.6) has a 64 bits build.

[PraetorZero]

Every time I hear about a linux game out for cheap, I buy it but rarely actually play it. Oil Rush looks to change that, especially if they've got a 64-bit version now.

[pratyeka]

i also pre-ordered.

0.6 build seems to work for me with sound and graphics. x86_64. had to install the ATI binary driver, which was a bit of a hassle.

i am able to get fullscreen at different resolutions after starting with one of the shell scripts then manually making changes.

however, the game does not set my multi-monitor setup back to its original state when exiting, which means fun with xrandr when leaving.

also, ATI binary driver changes xrandr output device names from DVI-0 and CRT-0 to DPS2 and CRT2 ... strange.

anyway, looks good can't wait to play once the clock passes 5pm .. its friday @ work ..

So much has been spilled, sooo much.... oil!

Can someone confirm, that it crashes glx-dock?

Hey guys

Sorry for posting on such an old thread first of all...
I just bought OilRush today after watching some Youtube vids.
I noticed that I'm having massive speed problems though. Even after setting all graphics settings to low and the resolution to 640x480 the game only ran on about 15FPS when I'm just staring at water, 5FPS for watching a base with 3 units, 1FPS for battles
I didn't expect to be able to play the game at high graphics or anything, but the 9800GTX+ is well above the minimal requirements, so I'd expect at least a playable game ab low settings and 1280x1024 res.

So I assume that I'm doing something wrong?
My useflag for graphics drivers:
VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia"
My system specs (briefly):
i7 920
6GB DDR3 RAM
9800GTX+

btw. for some multiplayer battles, just join and wait on irc.quakenet.org #oilrush, players needed

Have you tried a newer driver? Is it the same in windowed and fullscreen mode? AA/AF settings? Have you tried to set the GPU clock to permanent max (maybe cpu too)?

[Shining Arcanine]

I asked the developers about the system requirements and it seems that Unigine won't work unless your GPU supports OpenGL 3.3 or higher.

[j_c_p]

OpenGL version: 3.3.0 NVIDIA 275.09.07

It looks like you've got the right OpenGL specification.
Maybe you should try the 285.05.09 driver (amd64 stable) : it's ok for me with the high settings in the game (1680X1050 AAX2 ~40FPS under heavy load).

Thanks. I tried that now, it didn't help though.

The problem is in both, fullscreen and windowed mode. I have AA settings turned off both in the nvidia driver and the game settings. According to conky, (${freq cpu#}) my CPU is running on permanent max speed anyways (should probably change that at some point ). I'll have to try setting the GPU clock to permanent max as you suggested though. I'll tell you how it went.
