Topic: Problemes with Linux

Hi,

I'm trying to play Teeworlds with Gentoo Linux.


I've download the tar.gz in my home, decompressed it, and launched the file teeworlds and it worked, I could play a while.

I've tried to put the directory in another place (in /opt) and I could'nt play anymore, I saw just a blue screen with grey squares.

I tried with the root user, it worked.

I put again the directory in my home, and I couldn't play anymore, I've deleted the file, doanloaded it again, and once again, i can't play, I get a black screen and then, the prompt sais me that it can't access /home/struddel/.teeworlds

I tried the same way before, putting the directory in /opt and playing as root, it doesn't work anymore, i've tried every user in every place with every ownership, same result, either a black screen or a blue screen with grey squares

If somebody can help me sad

Re: Problemes with Linux

To play you have to start the game from its own directory (in your case /opt/teeworlds), else it will not find its data-files, and that's when you get the first problem you encountered.

To solve the second problem, just remove ~/.teeworlds, with root if you have to, because it sounds like the ownership has gone wrong there.

Re: Problemes with Linux

Hi,

I use Debian Lenny (x64) and i have the same problem!
The file "teeworlds" and folder "data" are together in one folder. When I start the "teeworlds" only the called blue screen appears.


The tree:

-home
  -user
    -Desktop
      -teeworlds
        -teeworlds
        -data
          -***

The folder ".teeworlds" in the user folder i deleted but nothing happens.

Enjoy the Silence

Re: Problemes with Linux

Hi!

I'm sorry, I don't use Gentoo.

But I have a hint for Debian/Ubuntu users who can possibly works with you.

Here is a (homemade) script to run the game on linux.

The shell script is called teeworlds

#!/bin/sh
cd /usr/share/games/teeworlds-0.4.2-linux_x86
./teeworlds

Simply put this script in your game binary folder.

Of course, before, you must change /usr/share/games/teeworlds-0.4.2-linux_x86 for the the teeworld directory.

Hope it will help!

Re: Problemes with Linux

chmod was already set to 777

and the script doesnt help too. it says:

"[481f62b3][game]: failed to create gl context"

this fault ever appears if i start the game by console or script

Re: Problemes with Linux

Ummm...

I don't have any ideas

But I have to refine my script to make it start as first priority for gdm/kdm.
Else, it cause annoying bugs

Re: Problemes with Linux

have you set AA too high or something? try deleteing ~/.teeworlds and try again

Re: Problemes with Linux

deleting ~./teeworlds didn`t help

AA is "Using Application`s Antialiasing Settings."
