FreeOrion

As I understood a Gravity Drive is not for traveling space, but for generating a magnetical field which interfers with a planet's gravity field, so that an object becomes "weightless" and therefore can easyly be driven. Of course, that effect has no influence on masses, so that you still h...

This version works nicely on Ubuntu 8.04 (Beta)

Or try running

I already posted here about that error:

viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1792&p=31398#p31398

Sorry for that

The script "freeorion" is buggy. The next version will be fixed. Replace it with the following. #!/bin/sh # Change into application directory # If this is a symlink, then we # need to change into dir of symlink if [ -h $0 ]; then echo "I am Symlink. Following into my targets basedir&q...

I released a new Version (SVN FO revision 2450 / GG revision 645): http://psitronic.de/div/FO/ Now there is a Loki Installer which helps installing the game. Just run setup.sh inside the archive. The installer creates a system-wide symlink "freeorion" and menu-entries, if you wish to. Read...

I already sumbittet a patch to let easyly switch to ARB-versions:

I did not encounter those problems on Ubuntu 7.10, and I am uisng the ATI-drivers too.

Look at /usr/local/lib if there is libGiGiSDL.so*

It think it will be worth the work. At the moment you kick out half of potential users.

This is an old version. Upgrade to the latest one on http://psitronic.de/div/FO/

Careful! The latest version needs openGL 1.5, and may not run on any system: The last version known to work is:

Which version do you use? If you start the game, there's a version number on the bottom of the main screen.

Looks like the statically linked version I compile (because of the output chdir(.), which is not in svn).

The OpenGL requirements for running FreeOrion are now version >= 1.5. Previously, they were version >= 1.1. This is only going to go up. Soon(tm), the requirement will be version >= 2.0. P.S. glDrawElements() is not the problem, it's glGenBuffers(), glBufferData(), etc. I am not glad about that. Th...

Sorry if my postings weren't clear. Try doing a "scons --clean" in freeorion-source and GG subdir before you change libs. I could reproduce the segfault you mentioned and opened a bugreport about it. The problem is related to an openGL call, which may be not supportet by some graphiccards....

Okay, the I will keep python2.4 linked statically.

Now THAT (your first error) is definitive a problem related to your 64bit-ubuntu-Version. Can you try the following with the statically version? export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib64; ./freeorion I didn't want to link python statically, but if you are interested I could link freeorionca with python2.4 s...
