Bug 35952 – quake2-icculus, colormap.pcx error

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Norberto Bensa 2003-12-16 09:35:26 UTC]

It seems that the post install instruction are wrong.

If I follow the instruction, and I put pak files in /usr/share/games/quake2/baseq2, I get something about pics/colormap.pcx not found. But if I "ln -s /usr/share/games/quake2/baseq2/pak0.pak /usr/games/lib/quake2-icculus/baseq2/" the game works.

I see that nowhere there's a reference to /usr/share/games/quake2 in the ebuild, so my question is: how it is supposed quake2 will know where to find its files? Something is wrong, either the ebuild, or the post install readme need to be fixed.

Best regards,
Norberto

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge quake2-icculus
2. follow README-post-install
3. quake2
Actual Results:  
Error about pics/colormap.pcx not found. 

Expected Results:  
Play quake2 

workarround: 
 
ln 
-s /usr/share/games/quake2/baseq2/pak0.pak /usr/games/lib/quake2-icculus/baseq2

could you try out this tarball and make sure it works as expected ?
you shouldnt have to mess around with anything in /usr/games/lib ... this
should find the pak files just fine in /usr/share/games/quake2-data/

I've tested your fix but it didn't fix anything. I haven't tried quake2-data yet though...

it fixes everything ...

that is, you only have to populate /usr/share/games/quake2-data/ with your data
files and this version will find them w/out any magic or fusing around in
/usr/games/lib/quake2-icculues/

[Comment 9 Norberto Bensa 2004-01-10 22:37:44 UTC]

Ok ok... My fault. My pak files were in /usr/share/games/quake2. I've moved them to /usr/share/games/quake2-icculus and now the ebuild works as expected. 

Thanks for your work,
Norberto
