|
|
I installed blobwars, and heres the situation. It worked perfectly fine when I first installed it, very fun game, but after closing it, then openening it I get an error:
Code: |
bash-2.05b$ /usr/games/bin/blobwars
Unable to load font. The game cannot continue without it.
Please confirm that the game and all required SDL libraries are installed
The following information may be useful to you,
Expected location of PAK file: /usr/share/games/parallelrealities/blobwars.pak
Location of TMP directory: /home/alex/.parallelrealities/blobwars/
Also try checking http://www.parallelrealities.co.uk/blobWars.php for updates

So I reinstalled libsdl and the game again, and it worked absolutely fine, until I close it. After that it won't let me run it again with the same error, but now re-emerging the game and library it doesn't work.
Whats going on here and how do I fix it?
EDIT: It seems to work fine with Super User, thats why it worked after I re-emerged, because I was still in SU.

I would change the permissions to the directory where the game is installed (recursively of course) to allow read and execute permissions for a "games" group, and then make your normal user account part of said group. That's how I deal with games on my system, and usually emerging a game automatically makes the files usable by someone in the "games" group. Check your system, the games group may already exist and you're just not a part of it. |
