Attach the output of xdpyinfo as text/plain please.

output from xdpyinfo

[Comment 3 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2004-08-09 01:31:57 UTC]

Hmmm.  Try it at 16bpp please.  That seems to be the only obvious difference between our setups.

[Comment 4 Eric Brown 2004-08-09 18:17:08 UTC]

i restarted X in 16bpp and i have the same problem


i also tried launching netpanzer as root, it's not the same, but i get lots of funky output in the terminal, almost like ascii art.. i can actually read the word "menu" in it somewhere.. this isn't an ascii game is it?

[Comment 5 Eric Brown 2004-08-10 19:25:45 UTC]

I fixed it :)
 src/Lib/Util/FileSystem.cpp has a problem in the initialise function:

if(!PHYSFS_init(argv0))
.. argv0 = "netpanzer" or "/usr/games/bin/netpanzer"
.. argv0 should be the base path of the netpanzer installation "/usr/share/games/netpanzer/" (note the trailing slash is important)

the patch i will attach should fix that.. someone update the ebuild to use it (also verify it please, it's my first patch)

also, i had SDL built with -X +aalib, so i was seeing an ascii rendering of the game before when I launched it from the base directory.

changes the basedir to always be /usr/share/games/netpanzer/

[Comment 7 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2004-08-10 19:33:26 UTC]

That doesn't explain why it works fine for me.

[Comment 8 Eric Brown 2004-08-10 19:36:05 UTC]

how do you launch netpanzer? where is your netpanzer executable, where are the directories (pics, sounds,etc)

if you have been launching it like /usr/share/games/netpanzer/netpanzer, then it will probably work fine, but most people launch it as "netpanzer" i suppose.. and there is also an executable in /usr/games/bin or something..

[Comment 9 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2004-08-10 19:42:34 UTC]

I'm launching it as "netpanzer" and it's being run from /usr/games/bin/netpanzer.  Running it as either "netpanzer" or "/usr/games/bin/netpanzer" both work fine.  According to the physfs docs, argv[0] is supposed to be passed to that init function.   I believe the patch is incorrect and that you are experiencing some other issue.

jamconfig from /var/tmp/portage/netpanzer-0.1.5-r1/work/netpanzer-0.1.5/

this was taken during mid-compile.. but i dont think it matters since it's
generated after ./configure

[Comment 12 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2004-08-11 00:04:27 UTC]

Seems like this code in ./src/NetPanzer/Core/main.cpp isn't working for you for some reason:

// try adding the DATADIR
#ifdef DATADIR
    try {
        FileSystem::addToSearchPath(DATADIR);
    } catch(...)
    { }
#endif

DATADIR is defined in src/NetPanzer/Jamfile

Please attach a copy of this file after the compile step.
