tagline "DOWNLOAD SAVAGE RETAIL FREE!" :p http://www.s2games.com/savage/downloads.php would be nice to have in portage
It says Windows version only.
refer to this thread: http://www.evolvedclan.com/forums/index.php/topic,259.0.html these are not some warez links since full download links to main savage site: http://downloads.s2games.com/online_orders/savage_linux.sh.gz
When it's downloaded, does it contain a copyright notice *saying* that it's free?
download it and see
There's no official document from the licence-holders stating that the Linux game's licence has changed to become free.
well, site says DOWNLOAD SAVAGE RETAIL FREE! You can now download and play the FULL RETAIL version of Savage: The Battle For Newerth for free! it doesn't says its windows version only ... and we download from their, official site... anyway .. someone mailing s2games and asking for clearing situation with linux client would be nice
(In reply to comment #6) > it doesn't says its windows version only ... What do you think "Windows Version Only" next to the download, means, dude? I wouldn't suggest joining the legal profession for you.
well, "windows version only" refers for download link only for me ... like ... "you can download any version but we provide links and instructions fow windows only" anyway bugzilla is not a forum ... i'll better write a message to license holders now.
You could *always* download the game for free. Unless they're giving out *keys* also, it doesn't matter. You needed a CD key to activate the game. I know, because this is how I got it when I first bought the game many moons ago. I even was planning an ebuild, but never managed to find the time to do one. Anyway, if someone can prove that the game itself is free, then I'll add it. If not, I'll add it anyway if someone writes up an ebuild, since it'll just require a CD key to activate it, otherwise.
s2games didn't respond me on my mail for clearing situation with linux client though they updated page with downloads: Linux User Instructions Visit this( http://www.evolvedclan.com/forums/index.php/topic,259.0.html ) page to download and install Savage: The Battle For Newerth on a Linux system, Updated Linux installation support is courtesy of the Evolved Clan Community. http://www.evolvedclan.com i guess this satisfies as for free client? so ... i've downloaded all necessary files und upload an ebuild soon... if noone else will be quicker :)
since this bug contains more and uptodate information i guess this one bug#109855 can be marked as a duplicate
*** Bug 109855 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
The other bug really is still completely valid. Everything here should have just been put there. No matter. Changing Summary... ;]
Created an attachment (id=96310) [edit] savage-bin-2.00c.ebuild my ebuild which uses recommended SEP update USE doc to install manual USE -sse to install binaries for CPU without SSE one thing to do is may be add notification about scripts.log being left in post unmerge info
Created an attachment (id=96311) [edit] savage-bin-2.00c.ebuild forgot to fix small error
Created an attachment (id=96317) [edit] savage-bin-2.00c.ebuild i'm sorry for that previous one :( it was wrong file :(
Okay, I think I'm doing something wrong. I have the three required files downloaded to /usr/portage/distfiles: savage_linux.sh.gz savage_2.00c-english.update.run SEP-3T.tar.gz But when I try to digest the ebuild, it gives me the message: !!! games-rpg/savage-bin-2.00c has fetch restriction turned on. !!! This probably means that this ebuild's files must be downloaded !!! manually. See the comments in the ebuild for more information. * Please visit : * http://www.evolvedclan.com/forums/index.php/topic,259.0.html * download: * savage_linux.sh.gz * savage_2.00c-english.update.run * SEP-3T.tar.gz * and put them into /usr/portage/distfiles What am I doing wrong?
(In reply to comment #17) > has fetch restriction turned on. Sounds like a Portage restriction - in order for the digest file to be created, *all* the files mentioned in SRC_URI need to be available, so that e.g. the md5sums can be calculated. The easiest solution whilst the ebuild is not in Portage (where it would already have the digest file) is for you to remove the non-applicable files from SRC_URI. Or, download them also.
Works fine on AMD64 except for 2 problems: 1) Needs ~amd64 keyword added 2) AMD64 automatically strips the sse keyword, so you probably want to use another one.
Actually, instead, you change to the following (and yes, this sucks)... x86? ( !sse? ( ${NOSSE_URI} ) ) That way, it only gets pulled for x86.
The 3 find commands can be replaced by: find . -type f '(' -name '*.bat' -o -name '*.dll' -o -name '*.exe' ')' -delete ("-delete" works on files, but fails if asked to delete non-empty directories.)
i have some problems though: - editor doesn't work (sep editor 'graveyard' works fine) - game spits window about new version of sep is availible (though we install latest SEP and version indicator states this too) - game settings are restored to default on restart does anyone experience this? does anyone have any ideas on this issues?
I solved that problem by untaring the 3T file onto the savage installation directory. Then I started savage as root, and the auto update worked again.

2.00e patch released
2.00e patch exists for windows only
(In reply to comment #16) > Created an attachment (id=96317) [edit] > savage-bin-2.00c.ebuild > Nicely done. And here is my wish list: 1. Update servers button work. I made this files writable but it is not nice. /opt/savage-bin/game/latest_gamelist_packet.dat /opt/savage-bin/game/gamelist_full.dat ( To find this files started game as root; I deleted rest modified files so i hope next trouble point is not created by this ) 2. Changes in setting are being saved i ~/.savage diretory but are wiped out at next startup. 3. I got a mouse problem ( spinning round ). It's a game bug but a game is fine. It is described here: http://www.gpforums.co.nz/showthread.php?s=&threadid=193170&perpage=25&pagenumber=1 For me helped adding this to savage-bin #export SDL_VIDEO_X11_DGAMOUSE=0 export SDL_MOUSE_RELATIVE=0 Setting both to 0 crashed game. Maby additional script savage-bin-i-don't-want-to-spin-when-i-spawn or just some info. 4. Being able to download custom maps while connecting to server I have no big trouble with 2.00c ( my screen goes white after while ) Thank for your work.
Added to CVS... enjoy
