Re: [Maemo 5] Jazz Jackrabbit (openjazz) port
 

hi all
i dont know alot about linux so take me easy.
i dont have a dir MyDocs on my n900 ( i did one manual )
where ca i find MyDocs dir?
i dl the files in documents ( i have to dl on my pc first extract the file and copy hem on my n900 ?)
can i have a step by step setup for this game.
best regards

Re: [Maemo 5] Jazz Jackrabbit (openjazz) port
 

If you connect the phone via mass storage mode you will not see MyDocs folder
MyDocs folder is the root folder of N900 internal memory.
Just create .openjazz folder and copy files inside.

Re: [Maemo 5] Jazz Jackrabbit (openjazz) port
 

thank you!
i go in terminal x and
sudo gainroot or root ( i have that program installed) and from there how do i go in MyDocs? and how do i create a dir in MyDocs
best regards

i got in the end on MyDocs
i dl the debinan file of the game and i use the comand dpkg -i TheNameOfFileHere.deb

but nothing black screean and the pointer of the mouse and afther 2 sec is coming back to the "desktop"
i do i do wrong?

Re: [Maemo 5] Jazz Jackrabbit (openjazz) port
 

Open terminal:

# cd /home/user/MyDocs
# mkdir .openjazz

Close terminal

Connect phone and put data files in the folder
That's all

Re: [Maemo 5] Jazz Jackrabbit (openjazz) port
 

hi
thank you
i have the dir in MyDocs .openjazz but is if type "ls" to see all the dir is not there. but if i whant to make another dir .openjazz the terimianl is sayng that the dir is allready there. if i create a dir openjazz is ok.
any points?
best regards

Re: [Maemo 5] Jazz Jackrabbit (openjazz) port
 

that's because .openjazz is a hidden folder "." means "hidden" in linux
type "ls -la" if you want to see hidden folders

Re: [Maemo 5] Jazz Jackrabbit (openjazz) port

Re: [Maemo 5] Jazz Jackrabbit (openjazz) port
 

The game files are not in the .deb package!
You need the PC game data files!

thx a lo for all your help. :D

Re: [Maemo 5] Jazz Jackrabbit (openjazz) port
 

Seems like openjazz is in testing and i just installed it, but it asks to install data files to .Mydocs folder so I just now thinking that should i give thumbs down. IMO when we are speaking about GAMES, user should not have to do this kind "hacking" stuff to get just game working. So maybe devel is right place for this kind of projects :|

Re: [Maemo 5] Jazz Jackrabbit (openjazz) port
 

Unless maybe some kind of copyright prevents this? Would you rather have the developer NOT do the entire project because installation is too complicated for some? Being in Extras just means the project is reasonably free from bugs and won't break your device.

Re: [Maemo 5] Jazz Jackrabbit (openjazz) port
 

jaysire,
So it´s probably better then that i do not vote at all because it´s not related strictly to QA :|

I have had some battles with myself lately with voting on some themes and programs which i just pretty much find working but they suck so much that I think that they hurt maemo brand in general if they end up to extras. I Could bet that people who i see as end user end up Installing them to their device and are just blown away by graphical "bugs" or total lack of user friendliness on program where you expect it. At least little things like one here in openjazz make me angry in 0,5 sec but i calm down in 10 sec after i remember how this place works :)

And huge thanks to developer making this app. I do not have any trouble using google, finding right packages, unzipping them, putting them in right hidden directory etc.

.edit
It´s too complicated to MOST. Trust me :| 10+ years supporting my friends and relatives on it issues has taught me a lot about average joes :)

Re: [Maemo 5] Jazz Jackrabbit (openjazz) port
 

I am getting this same problem (but no message). How did you manage to fix the problem?

Re: [Maemo 5] Jazz Jackrabbit (openjazz) port
 

thous anny one no's ho to save the game? everytime i need te start all over!

Re: [Maemo 5] Jazz Jackrabbit (openjazz) port
 

first of all, sorry for bumping this old thread. i could make a new thread but this one exicts so why not use it:)

anyway back to the point:

there are some new versions of openjazz that even include support basic JJ2 levels.
also the physics and enemy sprite renderings in the new version is somewhat better.

Could it be possible to re-port one of the newer versions of openjazz?
It is a great game for Maemo and it has great controls!(I play it a lot on the go)

i don't have any porting skill so maybe some kind soul or the OP could do it?

Anyway thx for the port we have!(but a upgrade would be even better:) )

Re: [Maemo 5] Jazz Jackrabbit (openjazz) port
 

Give me a day or two and I'll make an update
It's easy to do but I have a lot of work now

Re: [Maemo 5] Jazz Jackrabbit (openjazz) port
 

Well thx for the fast reply! Looking forward, because this is a great game. Would be nice too if JJ2 could run on the big N:cool:

O btw is i possible to use network play? i couldn't enter any ip adres due the blue key not functioning....

Re: [Maemo 5] Jazz Jackrabbit (openjazz) port
 

Any luck with the porting?

Re: [Maemo 5] Jazz Jackrabbit (openjazz) port
 

One little bump :D
If you could explain me how to do it myself, i could do it :P But my compile skills with linux stuff = 0%

Re: [Maemo 5] Jazz Jackrabbit (openjazz) port
 

Dude you can ask tonko to do that stuff :p
