Re: GemRb Development Thread
 

pretty much bundyo, all the options are # out. Can you post a good cfg? I've never touched openal. :) Also, I don't think it should be relevant, but Im running it with Icewind Dale 1. (Smaller installation, and I've never beaten it...)

Re: GemRb Development Thread
 

Figured it out, for those who have the same problem, make sure you specify in your openal.conf in the order to try, alsa first. Sound is beautiful. I also dropped the sample rate to 22050 and left everything else at the defaults.

Re: GemRb Development Thread
 

icewind dale runs quite well, unfortunately the 640x480 resolution makes accuracy a bit difficult in the point and click... still totally playable, and I look forward to updates! Finally, my dream has come true. Baldurs gate in my pocket!

Re: GemRb Development Thread
 

i'm sorry, i'm newbie, is a first time with Maemo and with Linux ...
I installed gemrb and Openal libraries, but... how can i do for gemrb.cfg?
thanks and sorry :P

Re: GemRb Development Thread
 

There is no gemrb.cfg included with the .deb. Are we supposed to find the gemrb.cfg.sample and edit it? Then do we copy the installed folder from our PC to the path in gemrb.cfg? Thanks.

Re: GemRb Development Thread
 

for those who have asked about GemRB, /home/user/.gemrb/gemrb.cfg.

Re: GemRb Development Thread
 

I dont have a gemrb.cfg in /home/user/.gemrb, in fact there is no folder called .gemrb there for me. Am I supposed to make one and put the sample gemrb into it and edit it?

The game starts up fine. I copied my install folder of BG2 to my phone and then put in a sample gemrb.cfg. I changed the paths of GUIScripts path and GEMRB path to /usr/share/gemrb/ and it loaded up.

Re: GemRb Development Thread
 

Does BG2 crash for anyone when going into the game? I get this error:

keyimporter: searching for ar4000.wed
cannot find /home/user/MyDocs/bg2tob/data/AREA4000.cbf
areimporter: no tile map available
keyimporter: searching for guiw.chu ... found
Segmentation fault

Re: GemRb Development Thread
 

Probably your paths in the cfg are not okay.

Re: GemRb Development Thread
 

Yea figured it out thanks. If anyone else is having the same error, you have to put the CD2, CD3, CD4, CD5 to the paths of the CDs in the bg2 directory as well. The sound is stuttery. What am I supposed to edit in openal.conf exactly?

Okay figured it out. You edit the alsoft.conf in /etc/openal and change the "device = default" under the alsa backend part to device = alsa.

Is it necessary to change the sample rate? Is the sample rate the same as frequency in alsoft.conf? Or how did you change it? Thanks.

Re: GemRb Development Thread
 

It won't start up anymore and I think all I changed was the alsoft.conf. The game shows a blue background with the game panels etc and then crashes to terminal. Anyone with a proper .cfg and alsoft.conf?

Re: GemRb Development Thread
 

Someone else - I don't have it set up on my device after the latest reflash.

Plugin Loading Failed...
where is the plugin path? i not find it

Now start, but i have the same problem Andy ...
Blue screen and crash

Re: GemRb Development Thread
 

cry86: Have you tried throne of baal ? It worked for me but shadows of amn didn't it gave me a blue screen. Also make sure your rootfs isn't full. Throne of baal gave me a blue screen when I was 100% full.

Re: GemRb Development Thread
 

i have only shadow of amn! no, is only 81% ! now i try to install Throne of Ball ! gemrb doesn't find me the first area from cd2 !
path is /home/user/MyDocs/bg2/CD2/

Error are :
Searching for tracking.2da
Searching for ar0602.wed
cannot find /home/user/MyDocs/bg2/CD2/ /data/AREA060A.cbf

Segmentation fault

i find the file AREA060A.cbf in the folder CD2/data/ but see that file is .bif and not .cbf
Is the possible error?

Re: GemRb Development Thread
 

shinkamui: Could you post your gemrb.cfg please? Only BG2 TOB works. I've tried IWD2, IWD1, BG2 SOA and they didn't work. IWD2 said it requires 800 x 600. BG2 starts with a blue background and then crashes and IWD1 doesnt work either.

Anyone have any clearcut steps to making this to work?

Re: GemRb Development Thread
 

You probably have something wrong with wour config because BG2 was working when I tried.

Re: GemRb Development Thread
 

does anyone have a build for diablo? how do I build this? ... using scratchbox? any hint on what I need to try to bring it to the n810 ?

Re: GemRb Development Thread
 

Gemrb works great on my n900 with BG TotSC, BG2 SoA and ToB, Icewind Dale HoW and Planescape Torment. Controles are playable.

But cant run Icewind Dale 2 since it dosent support any less then 800x600 res.

Also i cant attack the zombies in the beginning of Planescape, im guessing its because i cant right click... for some reason the developer of gemrb removed the "attack" shortcut on A...

anyways :) pretty cool.

Re: GemRb Development Thread
 

is there a new version of GemRB due out soon?

Re: GemRb Development Thread
 

I am a little new with my N900, and wondering if you could explain the steps that you took to get Gemrb working on your N900?

Really hope someone will do a real port of this one, must be more people then me wanting to play BG2 on there phone :D

Re: GemRb Development Thread
 

I need some help im trying to get bg1 working. I have all the files from the CD's 1-5 I have installed libopenal1_1.10.6-1_armel.deb and gemrb-0.6.9-maemo0.deb and I've configured the GemRB.cfg file. and when I run gemrb I get...

When I press enter it gos back to cmd. I've been searching google and maemo.org for a while would somebody please help. thanks yall.

ps im typing this with my N900 and its getting slow.

Re: GemRb Development Thread
 

That is your problem, it can't find the game files. Maybe you need to set CaseSensitive to 1 in the config file?

Re: GemRb Development Thread
 

Any chance to build an extras devel package? Many thanks! :)

Re: GemRb Development Thread
 

Hi guys :) I'm a new member and it's my first post.
Could someone please post his openal config file? I just can't configure it... music/sounds are choppy and crapy :P

Thanks in advance!

Re: GemRb Development Thread
 

How do you right click in the game?

Re: GemRb Development Thread
 

andyph666,i tried everything... you can't :(

I will not be an *** and share with you guys. Here are my configs of gemrb and openal(sound isnt crappy anymore):
http://www.4shared.com/file/ZD6jG2_J/configi.html

Just put the Baldur's Gate 2 data into "bg2" folder in MyDocs.
It should work.

Re: GemRb Development Thread
 

Hi, I'm having some trouble setting gemrb up. I think I'm digging a hole for myself, but I'm not sure where I went wrong.

I begun by installing the .deb files Bundyo posted on page 4 for libopenal. They wouldn't install from the app manager (the error I got was "incompatible application package") so I used xterm to install them. Then I installed the .deb for gemrb posted on the same page.

My issue is that I can't find a /home/user/.gemrb folder. Not only that, but although I have the game installed on my PC, I don't know which files to copy onto my phone and where.

This guide http://gemrb.sourceforge.net/wiki/do...d=installation doesn't have any information specific to the N900.

Did I install the program right if the .gemrb directory doesn't exist? What should I have done?

I'm not new to the unix command line and I'm quite keen on trying this out.

Thanks.

Re: GemRb Development Thread
 

I'm not sure why you have no .gemrb in home directory. I seem to recall copying my PC .gemrb over to the N810 long ago. Maybe try that, and then be sure al the paths are correct.

Btw: new 0.61 minor release yesterday: http://forums.gibberlings3.net/index...howtopic=20112

Re: GemRb Development Thread
 

Those expecting the steps on the installation for gemrb with BG2, perhaps I'll post it later. I finally got it to work on n900.
I'm still working right now.

Re: GemRb Development Thread
 

Steps for getting gemrb to work with Baldur's Gate 2

1. Download these depencies

http://bundyo.com/things/libopenal1_...22-1_armel.deb

You could probably copy over to /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads
*Note case sensitive (you guys should know by now)

2. Download gemrb from here
http://bundyo.com/things/gemrb-0.6.0-maemo0.deb
*You may place it at /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads too

3. Grant yourself root access using xterminal using command -> sudo gainroot

4. Install each and every libopenal .deb files by using this command -> dpkg -i libopenal1-dbg_1.10.622-1_armel.deb

5. Install gemrb using the above same command -> dpkg -i gemrb-0.6.0-maemo0.deb

6. Create a bg2 folder/directory by using command -> mkdir /home/user/MyDocs/bg2
*This directory should contain all bg2 source files and folders.

7. Create folder for gemrb.cfg to reside in by using command ->
mkdir /home/user/.gemrb/

8.Download gemrb.cfg from
http://www.4shared.com/file/ZD6jG2_J/configi.html

9. Move gemrb.cfg to /home/user/.gemrb/gemrb.cfg by using command -> mv gemrb.cfg /home/user/.gemrb/
*Take note, you must be at the directory where you first placed gemrb.cfg like e.g. /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads

10. Run gemrb by using two command -> cd /usr/bin
-> gemrb

Just hope I did not make this up too complicated, this should make everything work but I'm sure I did miss out something

I'll continue to keep the post updated should I find out what I missed.

Hope you guys have some fun even though it might not be perfect enough.

Re: GemRb Development Thread
 

Why install the -dev and -dbg packages? Aren't they only needed if you're going to compile against the OpenAL library?

To start gemrb, all you need to do is to write gemrb in an XTerminal. If you do "cd /usr/bin" first, you need to write "./gemrb".

EDIT:
And don't forget to exit from your root shell before starting the application.

Re: GemRb Development Thread
 

Thanks Joorin I've edited the post a little, on my way to work again

Re: GemRb Development Thread
 

the link seems to be offline, would you be so kind to upload it somewhere else? thank you

Re: GemRb Development Thread
 

bng, it's not offline ;) I just download'ed it
Maybe you don't know how to download it so here is a mirror:
http://rapidshare.com/files/405541508/configi.rar
And another one:

Enjoy the biggest adventures on gemrb :)
I suggest Baldur's Gate 1, because it seems less buggy then other infinity engine games.

Re: GemRb Development Thread
 

Thanks everyone for making this possible, The infinity games are my top favorite games ever made and to be able to play them on my phone is pure gold.

At the moment i'm working on getting to run, i just got my n900 so everything goes a bit slow but i think i'l soon have it working.

Thou i a questions:
If i would like to play Icewind Dale or Planescape Torment i just need to change the paths in gemrb.cfg right?

What would have been cool is if you could choose bewteen different games when you loaded Gemrb, so i you can have both Bg2 and IWD on your N900 and when you start GemRB it asks you wich game and then cooses the right config file.

Re: GemRb Development Thread
 

With config files it's pretty easy :)

Put the game files into bg2 folder and in config file you have to change line called "GameType=bg2" to "GameType=icw" or "GameType=pst" for Planescape Torment.

You have to ask it on gemrb forums ;)

Re: GemRb Development Thread
 

Bah this problem is killing me, i have installed GemRB as WhiteIce suggested but i'm having problems getting my bg2 source files over to my N900.
THe only way i know of getting them over is using OpenSSH. I have installed OpenSSH client on my N900 and using WinSCP from my pc but i always get an error halway through the transfer.
Really frustrating, anyone know a bether way?

Re: GemRb Development Thread
 

Connect the USB cable and enter drive mode and copy the files that way?

Re: GemRb Development Thread
 

If I connect with a usb cable and enter mass storage mode i can't access the right folders or is there an other usb mode i dont know about?
