What about Linux version?

Post by: martiño on 3 April 2006, 22:18:50

The linux version is always available in the CVS (the source code) and the data can be downloaded from sourceforge. However we will release a source package with the 2.0.0 soon.

> cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/glest co -P glest

Then I download glest_data_2.0rc5.zip and i try to run.
>./glest
Exception: Font not found.

:( Maybe i do something wrong. But ok i will wait for source code package;)

I think this must be because you have the wrong glest.ini file (there is a special one for linux), I think the right one is in the CVS.

No. I have this one from cvs and it is for Linux so something else must be wrong. How can i check what fonts i can write to this file? Now its "-*-utopia-*-*-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" and this doesn't work.

The link on the web has been updated and a package with the source code has been uploaded.

What about providing an autopackage (http://http://www.autopackage.org) for Glest?  It'll really attract Linux users out there!

First of all, congratulations to the release of Glest 2.0! There are quite a few new, very interesting features, and I actually put aside Spellforce 2 to play Glest ... and here I am, still playing Glest at 3:00 AM at night. ;)

I agree with the above poster that nights are a bit dark. Torches would be a great way to address the problem while at the same time adding an "atmospheric feature".

I still love the background music, by the way!

Heh campaigns/campaign editor would be an awesome step in the game. The difficulty with that is in a sense you have to make a game editor within the game, so that people can place units in specific parts and so forth. I think it would be neat to have an in-game map editor, sort of like Age of Empires has, and let the map editor be graphical, so that you actually see the ground, water, trees, etc.. rather than a big green blob.

And of course multiplayer is nice :)
