Edit the start script

CMD_ARGS="+set vid_ref glx +set gl_driver libGL.so"

if you have problems with sound, try

CMD_ARGS="+set vid_ref glx +set gl_driver libGL.so +set snddevice plughw:0,0"

this installer is for native game or must i install with cedega? (UFO)

this is a native game ...

The location of libgl.so are
usr/lib/i686/mmx/cmov/libGL.so.1.2
usr/lib/i686/mmx/cmov/libGL.so.1
usr/lib/dri/libGL.so
usr/lib/libGL.so.1.0.7667
usr/lib/nvidia/libGL.so.1.xlibmesa
usr/lib/nvidia/libGL.so.1.2.xlibmesa
usr/lib/libGL.so.1

i dont know which are used

what a mess

make sure your 3d driver is installed properly it dosen't look like it is

Hello!

Done as indicated in post 2 by Glad: still Problems with sound in particular there's none.

That's the console output:

Code: Select all

stage: invasion
Shared Client/Server Info loaded
Couldn't open file '/home/user/.ufoai/base/save/current.mpt'.

Do you have some ideas or tips to solve this issue? Many thx in advance!

PS. @ Pernil & kratz: my general start up problems with the same output as posted by Pernil has been solved by editing the start up script according to Glad's post:

CMD_ARGS="+set vid_ref glx +set gl_driver libGL.so.1 +set snddevice plughw:0,0"

... and adding the marked symbols.

Hi all, I just downloaded the loki installer of ufoai, ufo.ai_2.0rc2-multilanguage.run and in the shell prompt I run:

Code: Select all

sh ufo.ai_2.0rc2-multilanguage.run

This brings up the installer GUI and It successfully installed ufoai.

However, when I tried to run the game by typing 'ufoai', the shell doesn't recognise this command.

I am running it in Debian GNU/Linux, testing/etch.

Have I missed something?

show us a list of the files in the installation directory?

did you install as root?

what happens if you type "ufoai"? (exact error message)

kratz00, I downloaded the ufoai for linux from the loki installers page.

As I mentioned above, I run 'sh ufo.ai_2.0rc2-multilanguage.run' as USER, not as root. Do I have to be root to run the installer? Anyway, the installer run fine - so it seems since I got a message after about 20 mins of installation stating that the installation was successful.

The subdir /home/user/ufoai was created and these are the subdirectory & files installed by loki installer:
base/, ref_glx.so, ufoai, ufoded, uninstall, README, ref_sdl.so, ufo-bin, ufo.xpm

the files & subdir in the subdir base/:
default.cfg, i18n/, maps/, media/, music/, sound/, ufos/, game.so, keys.cfg, mapshots.cfg, models/, pics/, texture/

As USER (and also as root) when I typed 'ufoai' in the bash shell, I got this error:

Code: Select all

$ ufoai
bash: ufoai: command not found

I must have missed something.

seems you didn't install a symbolic link to the startscript in on of the directorys of $PATH

change in the installdirectory and type:
sh ./ufoai

kratz00, thanks for the replies. Pardon me, I don't understand the last two lines of your post.

If I recall it correctly when I typed 'sh ufo.ai_2.0rc2-multilanguage.run' in the bash shell, the following are the response:

Code: Select all

Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing UFO: Alien Invasion 2.0rc2-multilanguage Installer.....................................

Then a GUI, UFO:AI setup popped up. I remember that in the option the install path created was in /home/user/ufoai (user being my user name) and the button for symbolic link was depressed as default to the path, /home/user. The install option for base install button is raised however.

if you change into the installation directory and start ufoai from there it should work, right?

i'm not sure what you have done wrong when you installed the game

but normally the installer ask if it should create a symlink to the startscript and where to place this symlink

if you choose a directory what is not in $PATH (http://linux.about.com/od/linux101/l/blnewbie3_1_4.htm) you will see an error message like yours

i hope it's clear know
