Re: maemo Games: Stratagus (Warcraft 2) on your N900
 

In mass storage mode that's /home/user/MyDocs, and I don't think you can write to the root in PC Suite mode (/home/user/MyDocs shows as the Data directory there).

Re: maemo Games: Stratagus (Warcraft 2) on your N900
 

what i mean by root is what you see when you connect the n900 to the computer and you go to my pc and click on the n900 icon. you will see files like Mac OS, DCIM, etc...there i have my deb file
therefore what should i type:
dpkg -i /home/user/stratagus-0.1-4_armel.deb
?
(user means the name that can be read when we get into the fiñe manager?)
thanks

Re: maemo Games: Stratagus (Warcraft 2) on your N900
 

No, you should type:

Re: maemo Games: Stratagus (Warcraft 2) on your N900
 

At last, thanks
Now i have done that but when I press the stratagus icon it begins to load but it crashes after a few seconds...any help?

Re: maemo Games: Stratagus (Warcraft 2) on your N900
 

Have you copied over the Warcraft data files you extracted using wargus?

Re: maemo Games: Stratagus (Warcraft 2) on your N900
 

Yes, i have copied: campaings,music,contrib,graphics,maps,scripts and sound folders to game/stratagus

Re: maemo Games: Stratagus (Warcraft 2) on your N900
 

have you checked inside the folders? might sound kinda daft, i had many problems copying files over, copied the directories but would only transfer one file a time inside the folders.

Re: maemo Games: Stratagus (Warcraft 2) on your N900
 

The files are copied correctly...anything else?

Re: maemo Games: Stratagus (Warcraft 2) on your N900
 

Those should be copied to games/stratagus on the memory card, or a symlink added from there to the actual location - is that what you've done? Can you post the output from running the following in X Terminal:
and:

Re: maemo Games: Stratagus (Warcraft 2) on your N900
 

for the first:
drwr-xr-x 3 root root 232 Mar 23 23:57 .
drwr-xr-x 3 root root 224 Mar 23 23:57 ..
drwr-xr-x 3 root root 320 Mar 24 01:00 stratagus

for the second:
drwr-xr-x 3 root root 320 Mar 24 01:00 .
drwr-xr-x 3 root root 232 Mar 23 23:57 ..
drwr-xr-x 3 root root 224 Mar 23 23:57 graphics
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 43 Mar 24 01:00 stratagus-0.1-4_armel.deb -> /home/user/MyDocs/stratagus-0.1-4_armel.deb


so..now?

(i did not do a symlink, dont know what it is)

Re: maemo Games: Stratagus (Warcraft 2) on your N900
 

Okay, assuming you don't have a memory card installed, and that you've put the data files into /home/user/MyDocs/games, the following should fix it (you'll need rootsh installed):

Re: maemo Games: Stratagus (Warcraft 2) on your N900
 

thanks, now it works!!!

Re: maemo Games: Stratagus (Warcraft 2) on your N900
 

Hi,

I read threw the whole posts and I figured out that I have a similar problem as crazy_jorgito mentioned.

My SD card is not linked to /media/mmc1/games. When I want ot setup a system link

ln -s /home/user/MyDocs/DCIM/Games /media/mmc1/games

and error message pops up saying:

ln: /media/mmc1/games: Operation not permitted

Does anybody know what I can do now?

Thanks
mdex

Re: maemo Games: Stratagus (Warcraft 2) on your N900
 

sounds like your not in root....try looking at rootfs and installing it.

EDIT: while im here, has anyone played through the campaign? keep experiencing jerky gameplay and sometimes closes at the first mission on act 2 orcs, and ToD orcs aswell.

Re: maemo Games: Stratagus (Warcraft 2) on your N900
 

1.)hmmm I typed in "sudo gainroot" in XTerminal and it brings me to /home/user/MyDocs so it should be my root dir. Or?

2.)in the meanwhile i tried something else. I moved the games content from the SD card to /media/mmc1/games

mv /MyDocs/DCIM/games /media/mmc1/games

Now when I am starting the stratgus engine it just shows me the home screen and thats it, then it quits (brings me back to the N900 home screen).

What am I doing wrong? Any solution?

Help please!

Re: maemo Games: Stratagus (Warcraft 2) on your N900
 

when u enter root and it changes to /home/user/MyDocs/ means your in root and by root it means access to the whole device like administartor mode i guess, if your getting the start up image then its right. by the sounds of it your missing data files. Have you used wargus to rip the data files off your warcraft 2 cd then copied them to your stratagus folder?

Re: maemo Games: Stratagus (Warcraft 2) on your N900
 

hmmm yes I did it with wargus.....

When I want to start the game it shows me the Stratagus Homescreen. When I tap on the screen it is loading and when he is at the point:

ui/cursors/arrow_SE.png loading

He quites and goes back to my N900 home screen...funny. Something must be wrong with my Warcraft II Version ist is just 33MB of size because Starcraft works fine.....

Re: maemo Games: Stratagus (Warcraft 2) on your N900
 

might be a missing file. sounds like it anyway, id try using wargus to reget the data files and copy them over what you've got.

Re: maemo Games: Stratagus (Warcraft 2) on your N900
 

hmmm when i start it on the PC it works great.......

Do I have to copy the wohle wargus dir and rename it to stratagus on the N900 or just the data folder? Because I just copied the data folder like i did it with Starcraft?

Re: maemo Games: Stratagus (Warcraft 2) on your N900
 

it should of ripped a few folders like campains, Maps, Sounds, etc you need to copy them into stratagus folder so its like /media/mmc1/games/stratagus/campaigns/ not /media/mmc1/games/stratagus/data/campaigns/ so if you just take the folders out of the data folder and place them in stratagus, it should work i think.

Re: maemo Games: Stratagus (Warcraft 2) on your N900
 

Ok I did it the way you said and it still doesn't work ;(

I have following folders: graphics, maps, music, scripts, sounds, contrib, campaigns

Is there anyone missing? The total gamesize is 31,2 MB is that ok?

Re: maemo Games: Stratagus (Warcraft 2) on your N900
 

i have the same as that apart from contrib, i cant really tell you the size i have since my maps folder only has campaign maps in, i deleted the others to free space. But sizes below

campaigns = 5.95mb
graphics = 9.45mb
maps = 256kb
music = 57kb
scripts = 1.10mb
sounds = 13.6mb

Re: maemo Games: Stratagus (Warcraft 2) on your N900
 

hmmm ok I definitly have diffrent file sizes:

campaigns: 20,6 MB
graphics: 4,71 MB
maps: 1,56 MB
music: 57,1 KB
scripts 808 KB
sounds 3,04 MB
contrib: 216 KB

damn ;(

I ripped it from the original DOS version CD...
funny thing is that starcraft runs perfectly....so someting is wrong with my warcraft version...

Re: maemo Games: Stratagus (Warcraft 2) on your N900
 

i think you just said what might be the problem there, "DOS version". it is said somewhere you need the original CD version for Warcraft 2 not the BNE edition im not entirely sure if there was 2 version a DOS and WIN, but that could be it. Just a shot in the dark though.

Re: maemo Games: Stratagus (Warcraft 2) on your N900
 

Does anyone know if the source to this n900 port was released?

Re: maemo Games: Stratagus (Warcraft 2) on your N900
 

hey there,
I read some time in the web in in this thread,
and i know now that there is no way to run wc 2 BNE with stratagus,
but I have the battle net edition! and i want to play it on my N900,maybe online too.
if there is a way to pay this editon please post it !!!! and instruction would be nice to ;)

Re: maemo Games: Stratagus (Warcraft 2) on your N900
 

then you need to check stratagus website, once they make it for bne edition then i imagine it can be done.

Re: maemo Games: Stratagus (Warcraft 2) on your N900
 

I'm trying t install this again and cant find the ded file would somebody send me the file please.

Thank you

Re: maemo Games: Stratagus (Warcraft 2) on your N900
 

Hi guys, thanx to you i learned a lot of things about maemo. I have installed starcraft and it works fine, but i have a question.
i did't type dpkg -i command to install stratagus on the n900 but i just clicked on the deb file in my file manager. Is it the same thing?

Re: maemo Games: Stratagus (Warcraft 2) on your N900
 

Yes, that's the same thing. It's only worked since PR1.1.1 though, which is why the older instructions all just mention "dpkg -i".

Re: maemo Games: Stratagus (Warcraft 2) on your N900
 

OK! thanx a lot, last thing...is stargus 0.1-4_armel.deb the last version? On the net someone talks about 0.2...

P.S. Sorry for my english

Re: maemo Games: Stratagus (Warcraft 2) on your N900
 

I've no idea about stargus - going by the website, 0.2 was released last year. This thread is about stratagus and wargus though, so you'd be better asking in one of the stargus/starcraft threads.

Re: maemo Games: Stratagus (Warcraft 2) on your N900
 

Damn i have the same problem as Mdex, i used wargus to rip my warcraft 2 original dos version but i have those folders' size:

campaigns: 20,6 MB
graphics: 4,71 MB
maps: 1,56 MB
music: 57,1 KB
scripts 808 KB
sounds 3,04 MB
contrib: 216 KB

no one can tell me why? I thought it was the original dos version...

Re: maemo Games: Stratagus (Warcraft 2) on your N900
 

Well, you could just read back through the thread (a novel idea I know), but the basic instructions can be found here.

Re: maemo Games: Stratagus (Warcraft 2) on your N900

Re: maemo Games: Stratagus (Warcraft 2) on your N900
 

Try running it from X Terminal and see whether there's any useful error messages printed:
