The data files included should work perfectly with the open source Aleph One project.

Get playin'!

Umm I'm no ebuild writer, but here's a short howto for anyone interested:

1. Get the files
Aleph One Source Package
Marathon Infinity package
Marathon 2 packacke

2. Compile aleph one
* Unpack the source archive
* cd to the directory
* run "./autogen.sh --prefix=/opt/AlephOne". Note that this step runs configure for you, so no need to run configure yourself.
* make && su -c "make install"
* as root, make a symlink to /opt/AlephOne/bin/alephone in /usr/games/bin/.

3. Install the data files
* unzip the marathon2 and infinity packages into /opt/AlephOne/share.

4. Enjoy!
* run "alephone". use "-f" for fullscreen.
* marathon2 is used by default. To run marathon Infinity, set ALEPHONE_DATA to "/opt/AlephOne/share/Marathon Infinity".

The data files need to be unzipped to /usr/share/games. OpenGL seriously messes up my display, someone else might have better luck though since i run dual monitors. Good Luck. :D :D

I also had no luck with opengl, everything was red and the game crashes. Software mode is fast enough though

(ati-drivers btw)

Yeah same red/pink thing for me, but I have nvidia's driver. Software is fast enough for me up until the 1024 resolution. Then it bogs down.

It looks like OpenGL is broken, if I switch to OpenGL, the program exits and spits out: "Can't open video display (Couldn't find matching GLX visual)"

glxgears and other 3D stuff works (exept blender... damn Matrox drivers)

Hmm, I just made 3 small scripts which copy the appropriate game data into .alephone and deletes them again after the game quits.

*shrugs*

The readme/installer files in the tarball said thats where they needed to be installed to. But if .alephone works too thats cool. Where should .alephone be located out of curiosity? ~?

Yes that fixed it. In 24Bit OpelGL I also get the pink/red/black problem, but it's only on the title screen, the game looks fine, exept there is a problem with transparent surfaces, e.g. water.

I have tried the latest ebuild... an "emerge -e alephone", and compiling from the tarball manually. I get the same problem every time. The only other app that segphaults like this on my system is d1x. I tried upgrading kernels (now on 2.6.10-gentoo-r6 -- same result).

:( both are games I want to play.

I have the same problem with alephone. It happens using any of the 3 games (Marathon, Marathon2, and Infinity)

I've got an ATI card, and it happens in software and opengl, and in windowed or fullscreen. It happens even with the newest ati drivers.

It doesn't happen at all on my other machine, with an nvidia graphics card, so maybe it's an ATI thing?

Really? So I guess the slashdot article linked in the top post of this thread is just a figment of my imagination!?
