Humble Indie Bundle #3

lexming · Posted: Fri Jul 29, 2011 10:59 am Post subject: Humble Indie Bundle #3

So here we have a new shiny bundle, the HIB#3.

Have any of you tried it on a Gentoo system? Preferably on a amd64 no-multilib

Because I've read somewhere that most of the games in this bundle do not come in 64 bit flavour so it seems that it is a little tricky to handle some libs.

Cogs works perfect, hf is very tiny on a large monitor. Haven't tested the others yet...

//edit: run with multilib ~amd64 ^^

I'd been wondering about this too. Can you list the games that do have 64bit versions? It seemed like a good idea to go fully 64bit when I installed this system a long time ago...

Can't get Crayon Physics to work on my amd64 machine. It needs 32 bit builds of libtiff-4 and nas. VVVVVV works a treat but I'd already completed that on Steam :/ Hammerfight I evidently don't get on with, as I can't complete the second mission.

Some of the dependencies can be removed/fixed by deleting the libraries bundled with the game. It doesn't remove the nas dependency though.

OK, got my bundle already

Tried VVVVVV and both 32 bit and 64 bit work on my system, a amd64 no-multilib with some emul-* packages. The only problem I've found is with the launch script called VVVVVV, which tries to mess with the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and ends not finding the system libs. However, launching from both VVVVVV_64 and VVVVVV_32 just works.

Here is the ldd output for the 64 bit version:

Hi,
I got a bundle too :-)

I'm on amd64-multilib.
- Crayon Physics Deluxe: doesn't work due to missing pulseaudio-dependency (merging pulseaudio didn't help either)
- Cogs: works really neatly, quite fascination game too.
- VVVVVV: no problems with running, and a lot of fun, only played through fast (but I have to admit, I didn't find all shiny trinkets)
- Hammerfight: starts ok, but apart from that it's a real pain. In windowed mode the cursor leaves the window and I loose control
and in fullscreen mode the screen resolution is totally messed up; I also couldn't find a way to adjust it.
Furthermore, enemy entities are constantly outside the game space...
- And Yet It Moves: works fine too, but not quite my case. Maybe it's just too difficult for me ^^
- Steel Storm: works for the most part and is real fun. Often there is a lot of graphics distortion in the beginning;
applying the graphics settings helps, so that is not such a problem.
But the bigger problem is, that from time to time it is crashing my X. :-(

- Atom Zombie Smasher: Oh a new bonus game, haven't tried that yet...
and for all the HIB#2 Games, they all work perfectly.

I was wondering whether I wanted buy based on what I've heard, but when #2 was added, I knew I had to

I hope #1 will be available again sometime too.

I had a blast playing VVVVVV as well. It's always hard to beat the value of a Humble Bundle and they seem to be getting better.

Make sure you check back to your d/l page for updates. A few of the games had updates since I first downloaded them. Although Crayon Physics still has too many dependencies and Hammerfight just doesn't work very well yet.

Atom Zombie Smasher is a hoot. Gotta love surf music and zombies.

Unfortunately, the random unit picks sometimes give you an un-winnable situation.

Hey guys, cogs was working great for me and I was loving it, but I have re-emerged mesa-9999 (i'm using nouveau so often update) and now I get;

It was only a very temporary thing, re-emerged this afternoon and everything works again

Thanks for pointing out quickpkg, been using gentoo for a while but never actually used that before, creating an mesa+drivers package now.

This fix made hammerfight run smooth-ish here. In ~/.local/share/Hammerfight/Config.ini make sure this is set:

For those having trouble with crayon physics:

Got crayon physics working. With the latest package I just needed to install app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-qtlibs. I don't have pulse audio either.

I'm glad I've gotten it to work as it seems to be a pretty cool game.

Atom Zombie Smasher (main reason I got this bundle - already got steelstorm <3) is c# based and won't run for me

Just got the bundle and is anyone having troubles with sound stuttering? Its happening to me in atom zombie smasher. I've had this problem before with other games from the bundle #2. The logs don't show any issues, but the sound is lagging and stuttering so bad I almost hurts to listen to. I have a feelings its a pulse audio issue. I'm running pulse audio for gnome 3.0, and actually pulse has done me good so far. I used to have issues with my audigy 2 and the sound mixer playing multiple streams but with pulse I don't have that problem.

I've searched but I can't find anyone with this trouble.

A question to people playing VVVVVV: what version of media-libs/tiff do you have? 3.9.4-r1 installs the library as libtiff.so.3, 4.0.0_beta7 installs it as libtiff.so.5. The game wants libtiff.so.4. What version do I need?

Update: A symlink libtiff.so.4 -> libtiff.so.3 worked.
