looks like they are further along now.

Video: Theme Hospital for Nokia N900 Maemo 5 with CorsixTH! (Beta2) Ah, Beautiful memories!

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

hopefully we'll get a update soon :D

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

hello

the game runs nice so great thanks and respect to the developer but I have some problems with the controls. Is there anywhere a list for the controls? my main problem is how can i rotate things?

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

Nice video, but that isn't actually from an N900, but from a desktop PC instead.

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

i am willing to help, but note that i am not a programer, but i am sure there is a lot of "boring - not programing" that could be done. send me a message via email. thx

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

javispedro: Thanks for the upgrade, much appreciated :)

Apparently either CorsixTH or javispedro fixed my problem with rotating items: it is the space bar (I don't think it was this before?).

Only minor things are missing for making this a full game, and I am hoping the CorsixTH-team keeps it up :)

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

Packaging is easy; please direct all your efforst to the upstream project, http://code.google.com/p/corsix-th/ .

Corsix. In fact in this version number of required changes has been reduced since many are now in upstream (thanks!).

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

So..anybody tells this, anybody else this...
I downloaded this game for N900 and it fall down when I start it..
Can anybody help me, please? :)
It's great game and many thanks for it ;)

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

can we save the game yet?

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

Save/load was implemented in the latest CorsixTH update, however i do not know if its been ported to n900 yet.

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

It's ported, but it's not user friendly yet (if you try to save you'll note why).

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

ok, i sat playing this for about an hour, and its already addictive and perfect in terms of stability, just needs:

editing rooms
save/load
music

then it will be a perfect game that i love!

some pics of my slightly crowded hospital
:P

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

Looks great! By the way, you can take screenshots directly on the device using Shift+Ctrl+P (this is a Maemo 5 feature, not specific to CorsixTH).

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

Apologies, but I have to ask this question:

How far is this from Extras-Testing?

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

yea, but i was too busy playing the game to take a screenshot, quit the game and connect to mass storage (as the game reads original TH files from MyDocs)

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

There's a bug report already there to be able to read the files from a case sensitive filesystem (like the one where applications go).

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

Is this project being updated as corsix is? is that what we are waiting for? the Corsix team or the Maemo port??

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

I will update it as the upstream betas come by. I am also doing some Maemo specific work on it (like pan to scroll), but no timeframes please :)

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

thanks javis, your my favourite coder now

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

i doesn't load i only get a black screen and then it shut's down.:(

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

Sorry bout that.. Here's another with it on the N900.

Video: Theme Hospital on the Nokia N900 with CorsixTH! (Beta2)

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

Love it, thanks for putting the effort in to get this to work for the N900!

People who cannot get the game to load, please read the previous threads. You need the original game files and to edit the config.

Edit: I should also mention that I am yet to try it successfully. I installed it from the repo and had the same issue with it closing after launch, hence looking here at what was wrong!

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

I've got the original cd and put all the files to nokia n900\MyDocs\Hospital. but were is the config and how do i change it.

Can someone please make a little tutorial because i'm not good in this kind of things.

with kind regards,
flatser

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

Please bare in mind that I have had my N900 for less than 3 weeks and it is my first experience with Linux so there may be better and easier ways to do this. I also have not had time to try this and get it working yet.

The config file that you need to edit is /opt/CorsixTH/config.txt

To edit the file you need to open xterminal and log into root (sudo rootgain). You will need SSH installed to do this (you can find open SSH in extras and that should allow you to gain access to root. rootsh definately gives root access.).

Once there, change to the above directory, (cd /opt/CorsixTH) and edit the config.txt file. There are different ways to do this such as VIM but I have not had chance to try this out yet. I am going to try VIM to edit the file when I try it but not sure how it works yet so cannot give the instructions. you can however use the vi command to edit the file (vi config.txt) i used it for the wiicontrol config file and had no problems but I am sure it is not the best method.

As I have not tried this, I do not know exactly what it is you need to edit, I am thinking it might be the location of the hospital folder but dont hold me to that.

when I get chance to try this (possibly today if work stays quiet) I will be able to give better instructions.

Remember, when logged in as root you have god control over the phone and doing the wrong thing can brick it. Using the extras-devels repo is risky and anything in there can brick your phone.

Also, as said before, I am no expert on linux so if you try this, I take no responsibility if kill your phone ;)


Edit: I actually cannot try this today as I dont have access to the CD. I killed my PC last night so have to sort that out before I start messing with this!

Theme Hospital. How??
 

Im a complete maemo noob but how the hell in the easiest way of telling me possible... how do i get the game workin?

Re: Theme Hospital. How??
 

i found this link...
http://code.google.com/p/corsix-th/d...+DownloadCount
but which file has to be downloaded?
and how is it supposed to be installed?

Re: Theme Hospital. How??
 

ive downloaded it through the app manager but cant get it too work

Re: Theme Hospital. How??
 

http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=38759&page=7

Check that thread, there are some rudementry instructions on there. Hopefully I am gonna able to try this out tomorrow so I will post a post a step by step guide.

Re: Theme Hospital. How??
 

Sorry, having issues myself so cannot help on this! If anyone could help me though, It would be most appreciated.

Here is what I have done - downloaded corsixTH from extra-devel repo
Copied Hosp folder from original CD to mydocs
Opened Xterm - sudo rootgain, vi \opt\corsixTH\config.txt but get a blank file.
I closed vi, cd to opt and ls. I can see CorsixTH but cannot cd to this folder (if it is a folder).

I cannot cd to anything in opt so either nothing in there is a folder (in which case how am I suppoed to edit the config file?) or I'm doing something wrong??

Any ideas?

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

rename Hosp to Hospital, worked for me

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

Thanks! that did it! so no config file needs editing!!!

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

still waiting for:
save game
rotate items
exit game features
it looks great so far and im very gratefull for the work done to get it this far, but without these essential features the game is still a bit unusable, but there is a load feature?
anyone know whats going on with the progression of this?

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

Actually all of them are implemented; but it's a bit hard to get to the top menu bar on the N900 (recalibrating with PR1.2 helps a bit with this).

There's a packaging bug which causes an error message when saving -- but is easy enough to fix.

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

@javispedro: Did you try the latest SVN on N900? I tried updating your package with r833 and it worked great (much changes since beta2) but sometimes you can't use the menus, it's like the cursor is in hold mode (you can't save this way for example).

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

Beta 3 is now released, adding many new features.

Any chance of this being ported? Pretty please?

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

Will give it a try.

EDIT: Done, extras-devel, n900 only due to a stupid build error I plan to fix soon.

Saving should work now out of the box. Also you get a nice prompt if you don't have the Hospital files installed.

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

Is is beta3 or a SVN after it? And did you test it for the behaviour I wrote before (Hard to navigate menus)?
I compiled rev 934 yesterday and it works quite well:
http://rapidshare.com/files/405076364/CorsixTHbeta3.zip

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

beta3
I cannot open the menus when a dialog is shown, but other than that it seems to work.

Re: [Port request] CorsixTH - new Theme Hospital reimplementation
 

Working but I cant move screen around. it moves left and right but up and down is impossible because top bar menu?
