New version of vdrift is available.
no data in that tarball. they don't make it easy to package their game.
New version (2011-09-01) has been released, so it should supersede this bug.
*** Bug 383693 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
2011-09-01 has the same issue. There's no data distributed with the source. Any link to the data available? It wasn't obvious from the homepage but maybe I just missed it.
By data, do you mean textures, models, etc?
everything that the compiled program needs to actually run, yes.
Their wiki states: --------- The data set is currently only available from the SourceForge SVN (https://vdrift.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/vdrift/vdrift-data). It needs to be checked out in a /data directory in the main vdrift directory. If you are using a command-line SVN client and have the VDrift repository checked out in a directory called /home/user/vdrift, you would do this: cd /home/user/vdrift svn co https://vdrift.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/vdrift/vdrift-data data ---------- I guess we can check out their data folder from a tag/label/branch/release matching the release version, if they've labeled them correctly that is.
I've asked them on their IRC channel if they could supply tar.gz-drops of their data releases, but didn't receive an answer for 4 days.
Created attachment 295803 [details, diff] vdrift-20111022-bump.patch Latest release includes game data in tarball. Patch removes NLS options because the game isn't actually localised.
