This looks like if the font could not be loaded by teewars.

Re: graphic bug =)

and so? what should i do? Where can i download this font or how it can be loaded by game?

Re: graphic bug =)

Have you unpacked the download?
with winrar or something like that?

5

Re: graphic bug =)

its impossible to play Teewars unzipped, bad idea.

Maybe the download package is broken try to redownload it und and install again

Re: graphic bug =)

You get the colored texture when the game couldn't load the textures needed. Either you havn't started teewars from it's own directory or you haven't unpacked everything.

I've started teewars from own directory

gnade@tank ~/games/teewars-0.3.4-linux_x86 $ ./teewars

or you haven't unpacked everything.

I've unpacked everything

Re: graphic bug =)

The same error occured on my Fedora when I run the game by doubleclick. It worked fine when I run it from the console smile

Re: graphic bug =)

you need to check maybe, that the archive was uncompressed respecting the directory structure,
some software uncompress every files in the root, it may be an explanation.

Re: graphic bug =)

btw: i have the same probs with kubuntu feisty fawn, but I'm sure it's the graphic driver, because an identical system with kubuntu feisty fawn but other gracard drivers does not have this prob.

Re: graphic bug =)

Yes, I have the same problem on my Fedora 8 but only if I start teewars by doubleclicking the icon. If I will to start teewars via shell - it works good, no problem. Try it.

Kiss my HAMMER :-D

Re: graphic bug =)

I have the same problem but only when I launch from the menu.  I launch it from the terminal and it's fine, but if I add an entry to the Applications->Games menu, it produces the same output from the OP.  I got the following advice in the Ubuntu irc channel:

try making a shell script to cd to the dir and then run it, and make a menu item to
run that

I don't know how to make a shell script - something to google one of these days when I get time - but perhaps you can try it and see how that works for you.

Go into Terminal,
Type in:

cd '/your/teewarsfolder/here'
./teewars

The "./teewars" will launch the game smile

I don't want to open a console every time I want to play the game.  All my other games I can open from the Applications->Games menu, so why not Teewars?

Re: graphic bug =)

What could possibly make this happen?  Let's look at this way.  How is launching something from the menu using the same command as launching it from the command prompt different?  I don't have enough knowledge of Linux to figure this myself.

Re: graphic bug =)

the difference is that when you start teewars from it's own directory you also gives it the path to itself. teewars then use this information and looks for it's subdirs relative from that path. When you start it from the application menu, teewars get the wrong path, and won't find it's subdirs.

What you can do is make a bash-script that looks something like this:

#!/bin/bash

cd /your/teewars/path
./teewars

and change in you application menu so it starts that script instead. don't forget to make it executable with "chmod +x scriptname".

Used to be very active waay back

Re: graphic bug =)

I don't know how to bash script.  I'll google it.  Thanks for your help and I'll keep you updated.
