When I launch for the first time (deleting .shipwars from my home): $ xsw I get: /home/silvio/.shipwars/xsw.ini: Line 17: ScriptsDir: Warning: /home/learfox: No such file or directory. /home/silvio/.shipwars/xsw.ini: Line 18: DownloadsDir: Warning: /home/learfox: No such file or directory. /home/silvio/.shipwars/xsw.ini: Line 20: Unsupported parameter `JSCalibrationFile'.

ImgOpenFile(): Warning: Unable to open image image: client/viewscreen/mark_incoming_fire.tga. if I edit my xsw.ini setting existing directory in lines 17 and 18 the first two warning disappear but it still remail the error of tga image. However the biggest problem is that the game windows load part of my desktop behind as images in the window and it does not refresh. So it in unusable, I cannot see anything of menus (I think they are menu) and I cannot play.

Moreover, there is a newer version (2.6.1) http://wolfsinger.com/~wolfpack/XShipWars/ and the "homepage" is not the one of the ebuild anymore, I suggest to use: http://wolfsinger.com/SWTrek/
Created attachment 209545 [details] ebuild for new version I try to make an ebuild for the new version of xshipwars. It is my first ebuild so I'm suprised it works (at least for me). It will follow patch and Manifest
Created attachment 209546 [details, diff] patch I just renamed the old patch and it works. I put it in "files" subdirectory of ebuild directory.
Created attachment 209548 [details] Manifest file
The bad news is that also in the new version I have the same problem :-(( When I launch the game in the "centre" of main windows (where I aspect ships) it load whatever is behind in my desktop (as if there is a big hole) and then when I move the windows the "partial screenshot" remain in this position and I cannot play the game.
Created attachment 210209 [details] Screenshot Here the screenshot of the main windows after launching. As you can see it "capture" what was behind during the start and than this image rmains. No images from the game. (it is not transparent, it remains in that way).
xshipwars was removed from portage
