Linux / Re: A Gamer Package

great =D

I had a terrible time with ati drivers when I tried using their gpu on a linux machine, I've been much happier with nvidia since... not to say that there wouldn't be room for improvement in that camp as well.

Discussion / Re: UFO:AI sucks ? Where ? (Part II)

« on: May 05, 2014, 06:22:53 am »

I voted for AI, though.. none of those things really suck. I've gotten too used to 2.5 ui and haven't yet tried out the new one so can't comment on that, same thing with ugvs - they haven't been around and this is how I've gotten used to playing this game... though I do remember missing them when I first played, with xcom 1 in my mind.

AI doesn't seem as bad now as it was a couple versions ago, especially with the increased difficulty (which has an impact, when it was easier the stupidity was underscored) . I played a lot of missions yesterday and thought of this with fear, when or if someone comes up with a proper AI capable of realizing that a puff of smoke is hiding my entire squad I'd be lucky to win one mission in this game =)

On the debian page,

You can use the python script update.py in ufoaisource/contrib/map-get/update.py to save time and CPU power and download all the latest compiled maps (.bsps) from our server.

That worked for me, do you get an error when trying to run that python script??

Having ran make, do you now have an executable ufo file?

You could download the maps, instead of compiling them all yourself, if you have no particular reason to compile them?

is it necessary to compile lang if not using other than english?

Bugs in stable version (2.5) / Re: impassable square in stadium

Oh wait, is that intentional? I came across that digger in another map ind it was clearer that there's a hole in the ground. It looks like I should be able to pass under there though?

I notice that there are a bunch of things that are required for compiling, but are only needed for actual development work, not for playing; as it has long been practice with ufo:ai to recommend the latest version over latest stable release, would it make sense to provide an alternative configuration and dependency list for non-developer players?

I just noticed that there is now a debian repository, does that exclude developer tools, afair it's not very recent though?

having given it a second thought, having ran configure with disable testall I ran make again, this time it did create an executable and I can now launch the game.

libiberty-dev is available, but doesn't contain those .h files and installing it does not seem to change anything in what configure returns.

./configure --disable-testall returns the same could not founds, as with testall included.

the 'could not finds' at configure seem to be part of libsdl1.2-dev; but I do have that. Very confusing.

I have ran

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get install \
   libsdl1.2-dev libsdl-ttf2.0-dev libvorbis-dev zlib1g-dev gettext libtheora-dev \
   libjpeg8-dev libpng12-dev libcurl3-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev \
   libxml2-dev libopenal-dev p7zip-full libcunit1-dev binutils-dev libxvidcore-dev libmxml-dev
and

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get install libcunit1-dev
then I tried

Code: [Select]

mk-build-deps
sudo dpkg -i ufoai-build-deps_2.5-dev-1_all.deb
At this point running apt-get install -f doesn't install anything else.

Just reading at the debian instructions, I would assume that dependencies are met; but something appears to be missing anyway... ??

oops! accidentally posted before the message was finished =D Here it is:

I had 2.5 compiled and working on ubuntu 12.04 before, I hadn't played in a long time and after recently installing 14.04 I wanted to see what's new and headed to get the source, but I guess I must be doing something wrong... I can't find an executable to launch the game after compiling??

I read through the instructions pages best I could and got the source with

Code: [Select]

git clone -b master git://git.code.sf.net/p/ufoai/code
checked out to 2.5

and dependecies

Code: [Select]

mk-build-deps
sudo dpkg -i ufoai-build-deps_2.5-dev-1_all.deb
sudo apt-get -f install

I'm not seeing any errors returned from running these, but then

Code: [Select]

./configure
...
Could not find SDL.h
Could not find SDL_mixer.h
Could not find SDL_ttf.h
Could not find picomodel.h
make works for a long time as expected and ends with

Code: [Select]

make: *** [testall] Error 1entire make: http://pastebin.com/7GpvwbtN

There seems to be a lot of references to /usr/* ufo directories, but they have not been created as far as I can tell.

I'm pretty sure ufoai has never been in any default ubuntu repository, you need to first add the playdeb software source if you want to install via that method

Would it be possible for soldiers to enter this aircraft?

I really really loved the bus idea, did you completely abandon it..?
