Re: OpenDUNE - Dune II remake
 

Cant get this to work, I downloaded it via app manager and when I start it the intro plays. When the intro is finished, only a black screen.

Edit: Reinstalled everything and now it works.

Re: OpenDUNE - Dune II remake
 

Love this game! Great to bring to N900!

I am having same "No More Scenarios" issue and also used App Manager to install game from Extras-Devel.

I noticed the dune files are in "Nokia N900/Games/DUNE2" and NOT "MyDocs/Games/DUNE2". Is that the issue?

Re: OpenDUNE - Dune II remake
 

"Nokia N900/Games/DUNE2" is the same as "MyDocs/Games/DUNE2", in the File manager application it is shown as "Nokia N900/Games/DUNE2" but in for example CuteExplorer it is shown as "MyDocs/Games/DUNE2"

Re: OpenDUNE - Dune II remake
 

MyDocs is mounted as "Nokia N900" when you attach it as mass storage and shown by the maemo5 file manager as N900: it's the same thing.

I tried this port a couple weeks ago and was having a lot of fun with it, but it randomly dies after a while. It started happening frequently enough by the 3rd or 4th map that i gave up on it for now.

I think interrupt tables have only ever been 256 entries long on x86 processors.

Hello,

I would like to thank you for your interest in our project, however, I would reeaaallly appreciate it if you also inform us of your progress; as whatever bugs you find could also be useful for the rest of the project.


Kind regards,

Re: OpenDUNE - Dune II remake
 

I just ported OpenDUNE to N900.
If I would make any updates to it, I would certainly submit them upstream.

Let me thank you now, for all your hard work in getting DUNE II running on modern platforms. :D

Re: OpenDUNE - Dune II remake
 

Cant get past the flippin questions! But runs well on the first level! :)

Re: OpenDUNE - Dune II remake
 

http://duneii.com/special/ has some more info.

Re: OpenDUNE - Dune II remake
 

i get unable to install after installation and the game doesnt start. does this mean smoku has spitefully taken down the files needed? where can i get the files needed to play?cant believe i didnt install this earlier :(

Re: OpenDUNE - Dune II remake
 

I do not host data files. They are downloaded from opendune site.

Re: OpenDUNE - Dune II remake
 

Where does the 'spitefully' come from?
You've directed this towards the guy that made the port that you so badly want to install? Smart move...

Re: OpenDUNE - Dune II remake
 

well the site is useless then. never mind

Re: OpenDUNE - Dune II remake
 

Hi guys, having trouble starting opendune. Installation is successful, but when I try and start the game by clicking on the opendune icon in the main phone menu, it thinks about it for 5 seconds, then closes the window, and kicks me back out to the main phone menu.

Am I missing something here?

Re: OpenDUNE - Dune II remake
 

Try installing from the terminal and see if wget actually gets the files over. If not, it crashes. In case of failure, do a reinstall - it should help?

Re: OpenDUNE - Dune II remake
 

it wont help, there is something wrong with the site or something. the data files wont download.

Re: OpenDUNE - Dune II remake
 

Had that issue too, but site was back up in an hour or so. It probably has intermittent issues, retrying will probably help.

Re: OpenDUNE - Dune II remake
 

ive tried it over 20 times at different times and days.

Re: OpenDUNE - Dune II remake
 

well, I'm having this problem too, any idea? And I'm on PR 1.3(I guess everyone does).

Re: OpenDUNE - Dune II remake
 

i guess the only way is if some kind soul uploads the dune2 folder. the files will not download, im sure of it.

Re: OpenDUNE - Dune II remake
 

Does not work, the problem as described above.

Anyway, if there is anyone with this game, does it allow selection of multiple units at once?

Re: OpenDUNE - Dune II remake
 

Works great on my N900.

I tried installing it a couple days ago, but it didn't work. Tried to load for like 5 seconds then just quit. I uninstalled my power-kernel app and with everything reverted back to the stock kernel it seems to have installed properly this time. I don't know if the overclockable kernel was the culprit, thought it may be.

I used to LOVE this game! Thanks for the port smoku!!!!

Now, I forget, did this game ever have multi-player functionality?

Re: OpenDUNE - Dune II remake
 

Hi,
so thanks to DRMAEMO (which pointed http://duneii.com/units/) i know the answers to the questions asked after first mission, problem is I don't know how to type numbers or capitals... and it seems to matter, becouse guy say: WRONG !

Any ideas?

EDIT:
Played on PC, finished first mission, wrote the answer for the 1st Qestion-succes!, started 2nd mission, saved,copied "save files" to n900... and Succes no.2 !

Note. even on 800 on CPU it catches lags.. but game is great !!!!

HAVE FUN !!!

Re: OpenDUNE - Dune II remake
 

tar: Cannot change ownership to uid 1000, gid 1000: Operation not permitted

Getting the following error; anyone knows how to fix that?

Re: OpenDUNE - Dune II remake
 

You are probably trying to untar to Mydocs which is a FAT partition and doesnt recognise UNIX perms.

Shouldn't be a problem.

Re: OpenDUNE - Dune II remake
 

The thing is, the game auto-executes a program that downloads and untars whatever packages report the message I mentioned; I'm not evev sure where those packages are coming from.

Re: OpenDUNE - Dune II remake
 

OpenDUNE has made to version 0.7 and it seems to run smoothly and no more crashes (yet). Also takes less cpu and memory.
Applied Smoku's patches to svn snapshot and it compiles well.

Attached Smoku's patches and binary for arm. Must be placed to /opt/maemo/usr/games, overwriting old binary.

edit: attachments removed, will post new ones

Re: OpenDUNE - Dune II remake
 

Now things get interesting.
Tried version i attached here before and it's lagging. wtf?
After hour i remembered, that first time I forgot to enter into scratchbox shell and tried to compile it on x64. It failed with error 'undefined reference to `__builtin_bswap32'' (this was predicted).
Now I enter into scratchbox shell and 'make' again. Binary is 408k vs 415K and it runs smoothly!
Btw level completion doesn't work at moment. GUI crashes but opendune keeps running and eats CPU until you enter 'killall opendune' in console.

This time I attached binary which not lagging.

When I have more time I investigate it further, why it does so and how to fix this.

edit: attachment removed, will post new one

Re: OpenDUNE - Dune II remake
 

Will be great if you package it and push it to Extras-devel

Re: OpenDUNE - Dune II remake
 

Everything works smooth now, no glitches encountered yet.
Advanced 4 levels yesterday, before fell asleep.
Lagging is gone when configured with --with-asound=0 option.

ivgalvez: now its ready for extras repository.

Edit: files removed. Updated package is now in repository.

Re: OpenDUNE - Dune II remake
 

huge thanks for picking it up, where original developer left port unfinished. I hope it'll hit repos (and overwrite outdated version) soon :)

Re: OpenDUNE - Dune II remake
 

Dune2..... so many years.... Really great! Thanks!

Re: OpenDUNE - Dune II remake
 

Updated package is now in extras-devel.

Re: OpenDUNE - Dune II remake
 

Damn, I forgot that my MyDocs directory was formatted to ext3.
I will remove chown line from postinst script.

Re: OpenDUNE - Dune II remake
 

Try it again. Hopefully its got better now :)

Re: OpenDUNE - Dune II remake
 

Seems that you have tar-gnu installed, which expects '--no-same-owner --no-same-permissions' parameters.
I will try to make another package which checks tar version first.

Re: OpenDUNE - Dune II remake
 

Added tar-gnu as dependency. Probably this fixes tar related problems.
Update your repositories and try again :)
