Game stops in black screen

[[S|G]]

Hello,

I started talking about this problem in another thread but I think it would be appropriate to move to a new one since the problem doesn't seem to be the one in that thread anymore.

I downloaded and compiled ufo from svn (ver. 234 if I'm not mistaken). I first encountered the /etc/ufo.conf problem, but managed to fix it by creating a ~/.ufoai/base/default.cfg. Now I am able to "start" the game: it enters full screen mode but only a black screen with a green crosshairs mouse cursor can be seen.

I tried changing to windowed mode, but the same thing happens, and also the mouse seems to be "locked" on the top left corner of the screen. Moving it quickly will make it move around the window, but the pointer returns to the top left edge (on full screen the cursor works fine). Aside from that, nothing else happens. No error messages or anything. Attaching gdb to ufo caused X to freeze (I had to control+alt+backspace).

If the information helps, I'm running Ubuntu 5.1  (Breezy Badger) with KDE 3.5.1. I have a Nvidia Geforce 4 128mb Agp8x with the latest official drivers installed on a custom 2.6.15 kernel.

My ~/.ufoai/base/default.cfg is the following:

Code: [Select]


//set vid_ref                   gl
//set gl_driver           "opengl32"
set vid_ref                     glx
set gl_driver         libGL.so


And my base/config.cfg:

The only change I made to it was turning off fullscreen. I have also tried to change gl_mode, but aside from the window size nothing changed.

Btw, sorry for the long post  :?

copy your /<install_dir>/base/default.cfg to  ~/.ufoai/base/default.cfg

That worked for me.

Thanks a lot! That got the game working (any ideas about why was that happening? I copied the default.cfg from base dir and worked right afterwards)

But... Now I've run into another problem. When I tried to launch a mission I got the following error:

Code: [Select]


------- Loading game.so -------
LoadLibrary failed (/home/diego/Games/ufoai//home/diego/.ufoai/base/game.so)

********************
ERROR: failed to load game DLL

And (guess what), the game stops in a black screen until I press ESC. I checked my ~/Games/ufoai/base/ and there IS a game.so there with the following permissions:

Code: [Select]


lrwxrwxrwx  1 diego diego 27 2006-03-22 16:59 ./base/game.so -> src/linux/debugi386/game.so


Should I copy it anywhere else?

[Mattn]

try it at /<install_dir>/base/

[[S|G]]

try it at /<install_dir>/base/

Ok.... game is working perfectly now Thanks!
