Updated the SVN ebuild and forum post. This will solve the problems with the changed default mod filename and old datafiles introduced and hopefully make installing Spring easier again.

If you haven't updated Spring since the ebuild broke, there's been a few interesting changes in the meantime, like the nice new water effects or the additional fixes to the networking code...

BTW -since a few people have asked about this on IRC: There's a new GUI for Spring in the works. Of course, I personally am just as excited by other upcoming changes, like new "random" explosions and such...

Maybe an svn ebuild based on the tags/taspring_0.72b1/ would be better than one based on trunk/, at least more stable.

The Spring team is really doing a great and really active job in these last months. Can't wait to see the 1.0 roadmap done and working.

(too bad I need something better than a Geforce 2 to actually try it

)

A first test showed no problems on amd64 with an ATI card. Pretty good looking I would say.

Only major problem:

How/when can I run the game in fullscreen?
Editing the config doesn't seem to do anything good

I just got the ebuild off this forum, installed fine, but when I try to start it I recieve the following error. Shouldn't it just be /usr/share/games/taspring-svn, the directory exists, but the spring conf file or something must be wrong (I dunno tho, any suggestions?)

Some notes for changes in & svn.

AAI Bot in svn == very nice AI

Multi Datadirs i.e we dont need the hack for given everyone permission to taspring datadir.
i.e
Read-Only datadir = /usr/share/games/taspring-linux-svn
Read-Write datadir = ~/.spring (i.e where user puts the maps / mods they download

I also took liberaty in add spring-gui use-flag for my pet project, check on taspring forums to see some screenshots

Just got taspring-linux-svn-0.72-r2 working. This game is absolutely GORGEOUS. You and your devs have done a great job so far. Keep up the great work!

Just wondering, is this game playable already on linux ? Could e.g. a nice multiplayer game be done ?

I found the script selection menu a little confusing.

midget · n00b Joined: 28 May 2005 Posts: 33

I second that question

I can't find any instrustions of how to actually load up an AI or anything... and the spring-gui crashes. Shame really, the graphics are sweet.

Yes multiplayer is possible on linux if using same svn version. Only linux versus linux though.
They need to switch to different compiler for windows version & wont be doing till after next release.

And it helps to post what errors u got from spring-gui @ spring-gui thread in http://taspring.clan-sy.com/phpbb/viewforum.php?f=20
Note last bug fixed was about 20 minutes ago. So
