ManiaDrive is a free clone of Trackmania, the great game from Nad
ManiaDrive is a free clone of Trackmania, the great game from Nadéo studio, and is an arcade car game on acrobatic tracks, with a quick and nervous gameplay (tracks almost never exceed one minute), and features a network mode, as the original.
I would like to make an ebuild for this as it looks like a fun game, but unless I'm mistaken, the project has not provided source tarballs for their releases.
yes, sources are availible via svn only
Did anyone ask upstream to provide source tarballs for future releases? I tried the binary but it was a bit crash-happy (and I don't mean my driving).
I asked for source tarball on the forum (in french) http://memak.raydium.org/viewtopic.php?t=449 they said we should wait for the next version because current one require write rights in the data repertory
ManiaDrive 1.1 is out and there is a source-release: http://maniadrive.raydium.org/index.php?downloads=yes I dont know if its worth anything as it pulls stuff like php from the internet when running configure...
It depends of Raydium (www.raydium.org) which has a tarball dated of Sep 2005, and a nightly snapshot of svn source. Raydium depends on PHP 5 and I think on ODE CVS too. So I don't think it's worth to write a ManiaDrive ebuild if raydium-9999 and ode-9999 are needed too.
From ManiaDrive FAQ: Two dependencies are automatically downloaded from configure script: * ODE (Open Dynamics Engine) * PHP (v5) The problem here is that a lot of Linux distros do not provides PHP as a library, but only as a CLI program and an Apache module. ODE is released by distros in a lot of various versions (0.3x, 0.5, 0.6, CVS), wich makes things very complex for us. As a packager, you must know that Raydium "configure" script does not generates anything (no config.h nor Makefile) and is only here to download ODE (from our server) and PHP (from www.php.net) and checks all other dependencies, so it's possible to package the game without calling configure script and provide these libraries in another way.
Created attachment 94572 [details, diff] maniadrive-1.1-no-download.patch patch to add --no-download to the configure script. So that we can download those files ourselves.
Created attachment 94573 [details, diff] maniadrive-1.1-ocomp-fix.patch
Created attachment 94574 [details, diff] maniadrive-1.1-remove-openal-test.patch this patch remove the openal tests which cause security violation (access to /dev/dsp)
Created attachment 94575 [details] maniadrive-1.1.ebuild This ebuild make a static version of maniadrive using the ode and php5 tarballs downloaded in SRC_URI (so no download during compilation).

we can use the gentoo mirrors to keep this version of php
Created attachment 94576 [details] maniadrive-1.1-r1.ebuild corrected a small typo
I am not sure for the license. from the README: License for Code & Art (except music): GNU General Public License (GPL) License for Music: Creative Commons 2.0 (CC2) how to write that in the ebuild ?
Created attachment 94612 [details] maniadrive-1.1.ebuild Tidied ebuild. The licence involves a bit of guesswork as to the details. Note that the epatch commands have a deliberately hard-coded version, so that they do not refer to non-existent patch files on a version bump. The two nvidia addwrites in src_compile() were required, due to the test in line 326 of the "configure" script - I suppose that test should be disabled.
use system ode
Created attachment 94619 [details] maniadrive-1.1.ebuild new ebuild which change the version string to allow saving scores.
Fails for me on AMD64. gcc: raydium/ode/lib/libode.a: No such file or directory make: *** [libraydium.so.0.0] Error 1 make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... File created: libraydium.a.0.0
(In reply to comment #19) > gcc: raydium/ode/lib/libode.a: No such file or directory Try: emerge dev-games/ode
Doesn't help. It seems to be searching for it inside its own source.
Created attachment 94836 [details] maniadrive-1.2.ebuild maniadrive-1.2 is already out. this ebuild use the 1.1 binary package because there is no change in the data.
can someone upload the new source package on the gentoo mirrors ?
ManiaDrive-1.2 segfaults beyond the first screen (when I press Story or Internet Tracks). It's difficult to establish why as I see multiple labels passing by that might indicate that something went wrong. I've searched for similarities at their forums but there are not many solutions to be found. I also should note I have a Core2Duo, as I've seen problem posts about this.

So I'm not getting the segfault in gdb, only much of these: "Raydium: live: cannot draw live mask: wrong name or id"
