geever thanks for the tips,

 I checked the options within the game menu and there are no available languages for me to select.  So I added the startup parameter LANG=en and eureka!

I guess you should always try the easy things first.  Anyway, I appreciate the help.  Thanks for all you do and the great game.

So in poking around the ufoai site I came across some possibilities.

  I downloaded the ufo-en.po from SourceForge and compiled it into the en/LC_MESSAGES. Still no change in the UFOpaedia.

  I attempted to update the po files and received the error:

yy@yy-G50VT:~/Downloads/ufoai/ufoai/src/po$ make update-po
make ufoai.pot-update
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/yy/Downloads/ufoai/ufoai/src/po'
xgettext --default-domain=ufoai --directory=.. \
     --add-comments=TRANSLATORS: --keyword=_ --keyword=N_ --no-wrap \
     --files-from=./POTFILES.in \
     --copyright-holder='The UFO:AI team' \
     --msgid-bugs-address=""tlh2000@users.sourceforge.net"" \
     --no-wrap \
     --output=ufoai.c.po
xgettext: error while opening "./client/campaign/cp_aircraft.c" for reading: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [ufoai.pot-update] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/yy/Downloads/ufoai/ufoai/src/po'
make: *** [update-po] Error 2

  I checked my tree and I have no /campaign directory in the ./client parent.
   
  Is there anyone there that has any ideas as to what the crap is going on with my item descriptions?  As a workaround I am exiting the game and viewing the above lang file in an editor to read the descriptions.

   ...Better than nothing...

So I retried to 'make lang' which resulted in:

yy@yy-G50VT:~/Downloads/ufoai/ufoai$ make lang
make: Nothing to be done for `lang'.

At least it did not kill the game.

  I tried a wildcard  search for news_after as the news_after_the_war_txt shows up in the description window of the UFOpaedia and nothing returned.


Any thoughts on how to re-populate my item descriptions?

geever,

  Yes sir I compiled it myself.  I am running Ubuntu v11 on an Asus G50 laptop.

  I have many directories in the i18n parent.  I looked into the /en/LC_MESSAGES (English I assume?)  and it contains the single file ufoai.mo.

  If I remake the language packs will it break anything?  Again, It worked for about week before choking and everything else is working exactly as it should.

Thanks again for your help.

Linux / UFOpaedia Missing Descriptions

« on: June 05, 2011, 08:21:26 pm »

Gentlemen,
  I am really enjoying the game.  After much tinkering, I got 2.4 dev to work flawlessly; excellent job all around!

  My questions is how to I get the item descriptions to display?  It worked for about a week, but now when ever I look in the paedia of the main, research, equip, etc. screens, I get the file name in the content window.  The item's icon displays, just the text is missing.

  I am sure it's an easy fix, I just need some pointers on how to do it.  Thanks in advance for your help and all that you do to keep us entertained!

I deleted, reinstalled, and recompiled the stable v2.3.  However, I am getting a simialr error in the same spot.  Does anyone have any ideas or possible solutions for me?

Linux / svn cleanup

« on: June 25, 2010, 05:45:42 pm »

  Hello all, instead of trying to recover from compiling problems I deleted the ufoai directory and started a new download.  During download I lost connection.

  In trying to work with svn cleanup I got the error stating ufoai/trunk/configure is not under version control and some other attempts resulted in permissions denied.  I performed a recursive chown to the ufoai directory then an svn cleanup resulting in '.' not a working directory (both ufoai and ufoai/trunk).  So I did an svn cleanup https://ufoai.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ufoai/ufoai/trunk, and was informed that the hyperlink does not exist.

  My Internet research has failed me on how to use svn cleanup to resume a broken download.  Can anyone help me with command usage?  Thank you in advance for your help.

Linux / make pk3 Error Message

« on: June 25, 2010, 04:51:55 am »

Hello, I am compiling v2.4 and getting the following errors when I execute the 'make pk3' portion.  (I am running Ubuntu v10.04 64-Bit).  The errors are preceded by a massive screen dump (which fills my terminal's buffer) of files and their paths'. A small example follows:

textures/tex_buildings/carpet002_2.png textures/tex_buildings/stripebr_nm.png textures/tex_buildings/floor001.png textures/tex_buildings/sidewalk01_nm.png textures/tex_buildings/concrete002_nm.png textures/tex_buildings/t_wll_fnctrm_sgn2.jpg textures/tex_buildings/wall_ind02_nm.png textures/tex_common/trigger.png textures/tex_common/slick.png textures/tex_common/weaponclip.png textures/tex_common/ladder.png textures/tex_common/caulk.png textures/tex_common/hint.png textures/tex_common/lightclip.png textures/tex_common/nodraw.png textures/tex_common/error.png textures/tex_common/origin.png textures/tex_common/actorclip.png textures/tex_terrain/cold.jpg textures/tex_terrain/arctic.jpg textures/tex_terrain/mountain.jpg textures/tex_terrain/dummy.jpg textures/tex_terrain/grass.jpg textures/tex_terrain/desert.jpg textures/tex_terrain/wasted.jpg textures/tex_terrain/tropical.jpg
make[1]: execvp: /bin/sh: Argument list too long
make[1]: *** [base/0pics.pk3] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/yy/ufoai'
make: *** [pk3] Error 2

If anyone can enlighten me with what these errors are and how to fix these problems, I would certainly appreciate it.

Oh if it's of any consequence, during the map building process, I had to break out and resume.  I performed a similar set of commands as was in my last post here: http://ufoai.ninex.info/forum/index.php?topic=4975.0 and carried on with what ?appears? to be a successful build.

Insane! It started right from where it left off.

Thank you very much, I have played X-COM since Windows 3.1 and sure look forward to this remake.

Linux / make maps Freeze

« on: June 15, 2010, 01:38:57 pm »

Hello, I am building for the first time and am encountering the following:
(I am running Ubuntu v10.04 64-Bit, ufoai v2.3 and used the command "make -j 3 maps")

During the 'make maps' step when compiling the below map-
...map: 'maps/fighter_crash.map'
...bsp: 'maps/fighter_crash.bsp'
it has been on the step-
FACELIGHTS: 0...1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...|
overnight and I have a sneaking suspicion that it may be frozen.

If I break out of the compile can I use some kind of verification cleanup parameter to erase the bad map and a resume to compile where I left off?
If there is, I would certainly need instructions on how to execute them.  I have a general understanding of Unix.

...Thank you in advance for any help
