This sounds like you have old config files. Run this to remove stratagus configs:

Re: [Maemo 5] Announce: Stargus - Starcraft I
 

That did the trick it works now I cant thank you enough!
btw: if there are any updates on stargus will they appear here or on the stargus download page?

Re: [Maemo 5] Announce: Stargus - Starcraft I
 

Launchpad support RSS announcement. If I release new version I can create announce message on launchpad. But I will write to this thread too :)

Re: [Maemo 5] Announce: Stargus - Starcraft I
 

hi all. i didn't want to start new thread for my problem, so im asking here. so, i tried to install stargus and i have the orig. CD but i copied its content in wrong place (n900/starcraft) instead of (n900/mydocs/starcraft) and the installation failed. now, when i go to faster application manager and try to install stargust i get the error message wich says: none of the packages can be installed. i think it is installed but corrupted and when i go to remove applications tab, i cant see stargus but it is in my phone menu. i also tried removing it with xterminal but it asks password and i don't remember setting any passwords. is this some global masterpassword for stopping noobs(like me ) doing stupid things with xterminal?

See Updates section on http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=904603&postcount=1

in xterm run this to enable root console:
$ sudo gainroot

Re: [Maemo 5] Announce: Stargus - Starcraft I
 

and now the stupid question. is the folder seen as .documents in windows explorer the correct one to put the starcraft/innstall.exe? different languages makes things harder pecause in my n900 i see only folder named "dokumentit" and i am assuming that is the mydocs-folder... :D

edit: ah, found it with google :)

Re: [Maemo 5] Announce: Stargus - Starcraft I
 

MyDocs is root folder of eMMC Nokia N900 drive in window explorer.

Re: [Maemo 5] Announce: Stargus - Starcraft I
 

how do you guys play this with the screen constantly blacking out?

Re: [Maemo 5] Announce: Stargus - Starcraft I
 

[QUOTE=pali;904603]

Data files will be now extracted to /home/user/MyDocs/stratagus/stargus so Stargus will not spend space on /opt.

To be fair, I'd prefer to stay with the /opt dir for heavy games, since I have the Vanilla EmmC - what means the space on MyDocs has been decreased in order to extend the /opt and I need the space in MyDocs for music. Can I tell it in which path to look for the files?

Re: [Maemo 5] Announce: Stargus - Starcraft I
 

Data path is specified in wargus.c and warextract.c
You can chage it and recompile if you want

Re: [Maemo 5] Announce: Stargus - Starcraft I
 

cheers this is great. i mentioned a command and conquer style game it needed for maemo and you made this :)

Re: [Maemo 5] Announce: Stargus - Starcraft I
 

You could just symlink it... so it thinks it's installing to /home, but is really installing to /opt...

# mkdir /opt/stratagus
# ln -s /opt/stratagus /home/user/MyDocs/stratagus

...then try the install again.

Re: [Maemo 5] Announce: Stargus - Starcraft I
 

@pali

your old message on me works so no need to recompile it.

Re: [Maemo 5] Announce: Stargus - Starcraft I
 

You can't make a symlink on mydocs unless you change it's filesystem type to linux(ext3, ext4 etc.)

Hi, im new to this Forum.
Does anyone still care about Stargus?
I have a problem starting it and i cant find a solution on this =/

Its loading and crashes as i see the base.

Re: [Maemo 5] Announce: Stargus - Starcraft I
 

same problem here

Re: [Maemo 5] Announce: Stargus - Starcraft I
 

Try starting it from xTerminal....

See Pali's response to similar issue with Warcraft..

Re: [Maemo 5] Announce: Stargus - Starcraft I
 

New version 2.2.6 is in Extras-Devel now.

Re: [Maemo 5] Announce: Stargus - Starcraft I
 

I tried your new version. But i have the problem that i have an empty scenario list. If i start a single player game then the map "none" is selected and cannot change. If i start the game i see shortly the main building and then the game crashes.

I use the x terminal to start the game . I get a error message but the game starts:

Can't open file 'preferences.lua': No such file or directory

I would be great if i could play starcraft :).

Re: [Maemo 5] Announce: Stargus - Starcraft I
 

both scratchbox and madde cannot compile stratagus, stargus and wargus because they have old debhelper... autobuilder has new version which is needed, so testing is done by pushing package to extras-devel and belive that all is OK...

But I found some problems and you can see that I pushed 4 versions...

Re: [Maemo 5] Announce: Stargus - Starcraft I
 

i can't install stargus, because i ve got another version of the cd ("bestseller series"); content of the cd:
autorun.inf
Installer Tome.mpq
Installer.ico
Starcraft (Windows).exe

any possibility of renaming/converting? or shall i "ask a friend"?

Re: [Maemo 5] Announce: Stargus - Starcraft I
 

Now in Extras-Devel & Extras-Testing should be wokring version...

@sirpaul: can you try to copy file "Installer Tome.mpq" as INSTALL.EXE?

Re: [Maemo 5] Announce: Stargus - Starcraft I
 

Do we have to delete the data files extracted when installing the previous version if we want to upgrade? It took forever to extract the first time =/.

Re: [Maemo 5] Announce: Stargus - Starcraft I
 

I think reextraction is not needed now. Anyway data are extracted to MyDocs/stratagus/stargus

Re: [Maemo 5] Announce: Stargus - Starcraft I
 

no, it does not work :(

i'll look wether i can find another version...

Re: [Maemo 5] Announce: Stargus - Starcraft I
 

stargus 2.2.6-1maemo4~fremantle still segfaults, as soon as the map is loaded and the base gets visible.

Re: [Maemo 5] Announce: Stargus - Starcraft I
 

try to start stargus from xterm

Re: [Maemo 5] Announce: Stargus - Starcraft I
 

I did: "Segmentation fault". Does it work for you, or is it just me?

Re: [Maemo 5] Announce: Stargus - Starcraft I
 

same problem here. I see the base and then "Segmentation fault".

I can also not change the map.

Re: [Maemo 5] Announce: Stargus - Starcraft I
 

Hi.
I get "Error: Cannot extract Starcraft CD data files, extract program crashed." when i press ok to start extracting, i copied install.exe, it says detected but i get that error. Any thoughts ? Please help.

Re: [Maemo 5] Announce: Stargus - Starcraft I

Re: [Maemo 5] Announce: Stargus - Starcraft I

Re: [Maemo 5] Announce: Stargus - Starcraft I
 

@Dave999: No because still need 2 votes.

Re: [Maemo 5] Announce: Stargus - Starcraft I
 

Everybody! Please vote for this. Only need two votes. Take a look at it and vote.

Re: [Maemo 5] Announce: Stargus - Starcraft I
 

There is still problem with Maemo repositories. "Promote" button not working...

Re: [Maemo 5] Announce: Stargus - Starcraft I
 

StarCraft is now free! Maybe it's time for me to give this a try.

Re: [Maemo 5] Announce: Stargus - Starcraft I
 

Thank you @peterleinchen #80.
This problem now solved.
----------
I followed the instructions and extracted the original CD to MyDocs/StarCraft. It launched on the first time, but crashed after I clicked 'enable OpenGl ES1.1' in the graphic settings.

I re-installed stargus for a serval times but it would never run properly(shows logo screen with sounds then crashed）.

So I decide to manually deleted the whole 'stratagus' folder. However, some files has been set to 'read-only' which prevent it from a total clean.

Now I have no idea how I could fix this problem and get the stargus run on my N900 again.:confused:

Re: [Maemo 5] Announce: Stargus - Starcraft I
 

Connect your N900 via USB with a (uhh, shiver:)) Windows computer and right-click the new drive appearing in Windows explorer.
Choose tab tools and click 'correct/repair' (or similar named).
Before removing USB disconnect clean.
That's it.

Else you may search on this forum for michaaa and its wonderful and at least thousand times posted explanations/commands how to handle such situatuon directly via x-terminal shell on N900 itself!
