summary says it all, it's available from http://sourceforge.net/projects/armagetronad/ and the reason why this is a fork can be found at http://armagetronad.sourceforge.net/ Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
As armagetron is masked now (upstream is dead, since z-man joined the armagetron advanced team), I tried to revise the old ebuild for armagetron 2.6.0. It works for me on amd64 and x86. :)
Created attachment 54053 [details] Ebuild for armagetron advanced
Created attachment 54054 [details] Install script for armagetron advanced This script is needed to install armagetron advanced (called by the abuild above). Put it in the files folder.
This installed for me, however: 1) It doesn't create an icon in Gnome 2) It doesn't install an executable in the path 3) It scrambled the screen and hard-locked my system when I ran it. I think it may have tried to switch to an invalid resolution. Do you know offhand what the default is?
The install-script puts a starter-script in /usr/games/bin, and the command to start it is "armagetronad". The script checks if you have a ~/.armagetronad folder, if not - it creates it, then it cd into that directory, and lastly it exec /usr/games/lib/armagetronad/armagetronad "@" The first time you start, it tries to detect whether ther is hardware acceleration. (I think that is accomplished by the starter-script copying things into your brand new ~/.armagetronad.) If you started anything other than the starter-script, it very likely has no clue about hardware/software rendering, or where the game data is located. So, is there no armagetronad in /usr/games/bin?
That's what I used, yes, but /usr/games/bin is not in the path by default, as far as I can tell.
It isn't supposed to be unless you're in the games group.
Created attachment 54652 [details] armagetronad-2.7.1.ebuild I have been working on this for a few days, it differs from the orig armagetron ebuild by putting the correct documentation in /usr/share/doc/${PN}, moving the config dir to ${GAMES_SYSCONFDIR}/${PN} and creating a Gnome link.
Created attachment 54653 [details] armagetronad-wrapper Basically the wrapper created by the original make install with paths changed to work with gentoo's games file structure.
docs go in /usr/share/doc/${PF}
Added to portage
On my computer, Armagetron Advanced didn't start at all because it said I had not enough rights to start /usr/games/lib/armagetronad/armagetronad. Then I saw that this file was not executable, but a quick "chmod +x /usr/games/lib/armagetronad/*" solved this. The only issue I cannot solve myselve is that there is no icon for the menu entry "Armagetron Advanced". I use XFce4, and this is the only game not having an icon.
