Cannot start megaglest 3.3.4.3

okaaaay, I simply forgot the data pack. It's actually working now. Hooray! I don't know what caused the initial problem though. Could be that I didn't have my ATI configured properly.

Hi,

I downloaded MegaGlest, installed it and ran it straight after the install. Grand.

But i cant start it up again. In my Start menu there is a Mega-Glest_3.3.4.3 program, but it is empty. In program files there is a folder for it aswell but it is data, docs, maps,techs, etc. There is no option to begin the game. Is MEgaGlest an add-on to normal Glest? So i just start up Glest instead of looking for a Megaglest exe?

not sure why the start menu folder is empty, but you're looking for %programfiles%\Mega-Glest\glest_game.exe

Doesnt exist. Strange. ill re-install and see if that does anything

To answer your earlier question:

Is MEgaGlest an add-on to normal Glest? So i just start up Glest instead of looking for a Megaglest exe?

MegaGlest is a fork of Glest, as such it is completely autonomous anddoes not require Glest to run.

Well, one solution I can think of is that is you download the "binary" which contains all of the files you are probably missing... maybe that will help? 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/megaglest/files/in_development/
Here, even though they are the beta file(s) they are actually for now more stable then the "stable" version...for now at least...

hm, well I checked and I have those things installed. Still, I get this:

./bin/glest.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

These issues (ldconfig not found, libSDL-1.2.so.0 not found) should be fixed in 3.3.5.1 (as soon as it gets released) and in r671.
The various other unrelated issues mentioned in this thread are not affected (not changed, still broken if they were broken) by this.

Some other issues regarding the 'glest' start/wrapper script OpenSuSE 11 were fixed in r696. To make use of it, you can download the document at 
http://megaglest.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/megaglest/branches/release-3.3.5.1/mk/linux/glest?revision=696&pathrev=696
to your megaglest 3.3.5.0 main directory, replacing th existing 'glest' file. Then run

Code: [Select]

chmod +x glestand finally start the game as usually: either click the application starter icon on your graphical desktop or execute, in a terminal window, after changing into the game directory:

Code: [Select]

./glest
