Only a little...

Guys, some awesome news. looks like someone has looked in the text render bug, and have committed the patch into the GIT tree! I haven't check if it's in the latest version (0.9.34) but the bug is marked as resolved, and that means Soldat should work 100% out-of-the-box in the upcoming version!

too bad the text thing would have been fixed in 1.4 anyway since 1.4 uses a completely new font system (I've tested it)...

but I'm sure there are other games that were having the same problem that were helped by this

That's cool FLAB. I guess it had something to do with the resolution changes. By the way, have you been able to see how 1.4 works in Linux so far? Just about the same or has something else come up? The only thing that worries me is the cheat protection, since that usually has some issues in WINE...

Soldat 1.4 doesn't really work in wine. There was a wine dev who came to the forums last week, and I've invited him into the beta tester forum so he can play with 1.4 in wine and give us ffedback

Ooof, that sucks >_>

Oh well, at least we got a developer on it.

Wine 0.9.35 is out, and Soldat works perfectly!!

Well...there's still that bug with changing your controls...but the game itself looks great (and the fonts look aliased too! Even better than Windows, it seems to me!

)

Lets hope we can have the same luck with 1.4

Good luck guys, once I get back on the net, I'll be installing Ubantu and Windows on my laptops. Lets hope that the wine dev helps us out with 1.4

Hey I have ubuntu and wine ...35 and I successfully ran the installer for soldat and even opened up setup but it won't let me access soldat131.exe. Its on my windows partition and I'm wondering if thats a problem?

Stealth · « **Reply #167 on:** April 25, 2007, 03:44:23 pm »

You successfully ran the installer? Then run Soldat from your fake Windows drive.

wine 'C:/Soldat/Soldat.exe'

iDante · « **Reply #168 on:** April 25, 2007, 04:53:12 pm »

mm.. now it pops up with 2 errors after opening.
"Can not change Visible on onShow or onHide."
and
access violation on address ...
then I can interact with the main window (start game), but no maps or bots load and I can't see any of the tabs at the top.

try turning on video compatability in soldat.ini

Open winecfg and go to the audio tab. Select ALSA.

iDante · « **Reply #171 on:** April 25, 2007, 10:00:42 pm »

ah yes, now its working. Thanks for the help.
Is it just me or is the whole thing sluggish? My frame rate is 70-80 but it just seems slow to me...

Is Beryl currently running? If it is, close it.

The only problem I had with Soldat on Ubuntu was when I clicked, the click would sometimes not register, so I would have to click again and then it would register. This caused using the AK-74 to be really annoying as I could not fire as fast.

iDante · « **Reply #173 on:** April 25, 2007, 11:18:51 pm »

Yes I noticed that too, and AK is my weapon. W/E I'll get used to it.

C'mon guys, the main reason I still have windows installed on my box is Soldat. Make it happen!

p.s. willing to report Wine vs Soldat bugs etc. although it's a process I'm not that familiar with.

Stealth · « **Reply #175 on:** April 26, 2007, 02:58:29 pm »

n2j3: Soldat works almost flawlessly in Linux, give it a try.

Guys, make sure you are starting Soldat like so:

WINEDEBUG=-all wine 'C:/Soldat/Soldat.exe'

That wine debug part suppresses the terminal from spitting errors, and speeds up the game quite a bit.

Oops, yes, that's what I meant.

Hey guys, my fonts are doing weird shit in 1.4 and the more text that's on the screen the less fps i get. Text is readable but seems to flicker between different sizes and attributes. Any ideas, or other 1.4 experiences?

Stealth · « **Reply #179 on:** April 30, 2007, 07:13:23 am »

Yea, I was glad to see 1.4 worked in WINE, but notice quite the frame loss when I "upped" the resolution, despite it not actually changing. EDIT: Forgot this is registered version only, I haven't applied that on my Linux install yet.

I'm gonna try some different configurations today, and see what happens.

Fullscren however, completely crashed my Ubuntu.
