alien arena 2009

[slax]

Hi, i need help with packaging alien arena.
I mean i already finished packaging (need to test for dependencies...) but i have some errrors running the game.

First i got an error "version `GLIBC_2.7' not found" so i recompiled the source and now it works, but still having some errors...
I think it needs newer version of libopenal

Code: [Select]

------- sound initialization -------
/usr/lib/libopenal.so.0: undefined symbol: alSource3i
/usr/lib/libopenal.so.0: undefined symbol: alSourceiv
/usr/lib/libopenal.so.0: undefined symbol: alGetSource3i
Sound failed: Unable to start OpenAL.
Game will continue without sound.

And i also have this error:

Code: [Select]

------- Loading game.so -------
LoadLibrary (./arena/game.so): version `GLIBC_2.7' not found (required by ./arena/game.so)

I don't know if i can manage to recompile game.so
even so, what can i do with the sound.

I noticed that many users on the forum would like to see the new version of the game, and i want to make them happy

Any ideas how to fix this? or to wait for newer opanal and glibc??

regards
Slax

Fixed glibc problem... Now it's only libopenal....

Boy this game ROCKS!!!

I can hardly wait, to give it a spin.

First i need to package openal1.1 :|

Btw, i uploaded those srpms to contrib server.... Do i need to do something more?
Or someone else will put it in testing section? I ask this because i don't see them yet in repos?

[Joble]

Hey slax:
Have you heard of
http://tremulous.net/

I watched it play on a fedora 11 install, and it was freaking kool!

[slax]

Yeah i know about that game, it's great.

But there is already a latest version in the repos.
The latest version is the 1.1.0 as in repos.

I was thinking maybe to add http://www.tremfusion.net/ when i finish alien arena.

What about the rpms i already made? Do i have to do anything else now or what? Will Tex add them to testing himself?

[Joble]

Hehe, so it is!  I should have searched for it first.  

Games are not a big priority for Tex.  I'm sure he will get to them.  They're not in contribs any more, that's a good sign.

Check to see if the game is already being offered through djl. Saves on our limited repo space and bandwidth if a user can download and play from djl than downloading 300mb games from our repo.

[Joble]

Wow!  I saw the thread about djl but I didn't pay to much attention, cause I rarely play games.  That's Kool!

Than please tell me should i work on the alien arena or not?

I also had to repackage openal. Repo version is 0.0.8, and i downloaded 1.8.466 from http://kcat.strangesoft.net/openal.html

I'm almost done

Please, if it's possible add these games to repo, so my work is not in vain. Just this time, and i'll package something else after.
After all, alien arena and glest are already in the repos, this is an update.

And Tex, please tell me what is prefered for packaging? So i can get my hands on that

HAHAHAHA!      Would like to know, if you get an answer to that one.   

[slax]

Than what should i or anyone else package???
Why to package something if it never gets to the repos

[Joble]

Oh, don't get me wrong.  Almost everything I have packaged has made it to the repos.  But asking Tex what to package?  Well, by the time he sees the need, he just does it, you won't even have time to look at the spec file.  Been there, done that.

99.5% of packages submitted get sent to the repos. A few get put on the back burner if they involve a lot of package rebuilding.

Here's stuff that needs packaging.

There are 11000 packages in the repos. Check to see if there are updates to those. I'd say pretty most anything that isn't larger than our ISOs. I'd much rather have 1000 500k packages of goodies than one 428 mb game.

I'll send up your game when time allows. My upload speed is only 50kps and it takes a few hours to upload that one package.

[slax]

Ok, thanx for a fast answer, and i'm sorry if i've been rude.

Now i'm figuring out this new version of openal.... It's needed for alien arena
And for lots of other stuff...

I've noticed the jahshaka request. It needs openlibraries, and they need openal. Thats one example

Sorry again for bothering
