Re: [OS2008] New Port: Jagged Alliance 2 Engine

ukki, thats pimpin! Didn't realize that was set! JA2 is totally playable on the N900, however, it is slightly painful on the eyes without the brightness jacked all the way up. No way to lower the res and scale? Or possibly zoom in software?

Re: [OS2008] New Port: Jagged Alliance 2 Engine

hi

can anybody help me how to install this?
installed the jagged alliance 2 (english version) from program manager in maemo devels folder
i have the game, installed in windows, copied the data folder(~850mb) on my n900. renamed in on the phone from Data into ja2data.

but still doesn´t work :(

Edit:

i deinstalled it again with program manager and installed it again.
the path for my Data from the windows installation is:

/home/user/MyDocs/ja2data/Data

when i try to launch it over shell with ja2launcher it says :

"The Jagged Alliance 2 data files were not foun..... JA2 expects a "ja2data" folder on MyDocs with a "Data" folder from the CD present"

On my CD there is only a foulder "ressources" with some pictures in it, and a big setup file... on my CD is no Data Folder.

please, i loved this game....

Edit2:

when i start the command ja2 from console it says:

ERROR: Failed to open "/some/place/where/the/data/is/Data/data.slf" (lol?)
ERROR: caught unhandled exception:
Initialising libraries failed

:( :( :(

Make sure the path is correct in the ini-file:

Code:

~ $ cat /home/user/.ja2/ja2.ini 

data_dir = /home/user/MyDocs/ja2data

Here is my list of files:

Code:

~ $ ls -lah /home/user/MyDocs/ja2data/Data

Re: [OS2008] New Port: Jagged Alliance 2 Engine

Hi,
I just came across this port - it looks awesome - and games like this lend themself well to the tablets. Unfortunately, I am likely missing the obvious: the location of the most up to date English diablo port.

The link on the first page for the English diablo deb goes no where. The demo and German ports I can download. Should I be looking in a repository for the most up to date diablo version?

Thanks!

Yay! I dropped the data directory on mmc1 and I was good to go first try. Thanks for the port!

Re: [OS2008] New Port: Jagged Alliance 2 Engine

on my n900 when i launch the icon it tries to open then crashes and takes me to my homescreen, anyone know why that happens?

Re: [OS2008] New Port: Jagged Alliance 2 Engine

Did you install the N900 version or the one I linked few posts above? The one above is for N8x0. I'm pretty sure it can't find your datafiles. Please run ja2launcher from xterminal to see the error message.
