Problem starting in OpenSUSE 10.3
« on: January 21, 2008, 01:30:03 pm »
Hello!
I've downloaded the Game with Yast, all packages I've found.
Now, on my Start Menue there is only a entry in Games --> Tactical with Ufo:AI (dedicated server).
If I start with this button, there would open a console with settings for the server, but not the game in Single-Player Mode.

What is wrong? Have I made a mistake?

(Sorry for the bad english, I'm no native speaker)

The dedicated server only hosts a server for people to connect to with their clients. You don't need it to play the singleplayer game. Look for a binary called ufo.

Ok, thank you!

Hm, I'm a Linux newbie and learn in german :-)
Is a binary what I must install or is ist installed and I must search for it?

i can't really help you with anything suse related - it depends on the packager - but there should be a ufo binary somewhere in your path - just open a console and type ufo - or have a look which script or binary your menu shortcut executes

Good evening!
I've found the problem with your hints. Yast downloaded the game from packman repositories, not from the link, you wrote in the manual.

Now, I can start the game and change the settings. Hopefully it would work.
I loved the old UFO in DOS-times. Your UFO is the best open-source game. thanks a lot for that remake!!
