Faangband, Fallout, etc
 

Hello,

I have a few compile requests, please:

FAngband:
http://angband.oook.cz/faangband/Downloads.html

Trichromic (although the dependencies look like it might not be possible):
http://www.gamecreation.org/~trichromic/

Fallout engine, fife:
http://wiki.fifengine.de/index.php?t...wnload_section
(build dependencies):
http://wiki.fifengine.de/index.php?t...d_dependencies

Stone Soup:
http://crawl-ref.sourceforge.net/

P.S. I've done some native gcc compiling for the Zaurus and would like to help with compiling for the Nokia. What would you guys recommend for a good starting tutorial, or Wiki?

Re: Faangband, Fallout, etc
 

Dude.. a fallout engine for linux.. awesome!!! Kinda looks funny lol...

I might have to compile that at home just to try it out..

Re: Faangband, Fallout, etc
 

Boost is a ***** to compile...

Re: Faangband, Fallout, etc
 

They shifted paradigm at some time, so maybe Fallout is not playable.

Re: Faangband, Fallout, etc
 

BIG +1 for StoneSoup! Crawl is simply the finest Roguelike ever IMO.

Re: Faangband, Fallout, etc
 

I have uploaded Stone Soup (crawl) to extras-devel

directly from here:
http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d.../free/c/crawl/

I have no idea how well does it work because i have never played crawl before. You could report here if it is worth of promoting to maemo extras repository.

Re: Faangband, Fallout, etc
 

I get this error when trying to run it through xterm.
And it doesn't show up in the menu.

Re: Faangband, Fallout, etc
 

which OS version you are using?

according to my search this error comes from ncurses because it can't find terminfo. Do you have /usr/lib/terminfo as link to /usr/share/terminfo. If not you could try as root:

if somebody knows how to launch terminal applications from menu, please let me know :)

Re: Faangband, Fallout, etc
 

I too was having the above problem, but from searching the forum, I found out that I had to install ncurses-base as well.
It works now. ya!

Re: Faangband, Fallout, etc
 

thanks. I'll add ncurses-base to depencies

Re: Faangband, Fallout, etc
 

Yeah... I'm using Diablo. And when I'm trying to install the ncurses-base, it just says that it's incompatible application package.

Re: Faangband, Fallout, etc
 

what version of ncurses-base shows up in your list?

Re: Faangband, Fallout, etc
 

It actually even doesn't show up there. I do have extras-devel repo but it's just wont show up.
I tried to download it straight from here http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d...ree/n/ncurses/

Re: Faangband, Fallout, etc
 

I am uploading updated version which should automatically install ncurses-base for you. It should be done for diablo in 1-2 hours

Re: Faangband, Fallout, etc
 

Awesome. I tried to install it via apt-get from xterm. Success!
And now Crawl works.

Re: Faangband, Fallout, etc
 

mikkov... did you compile the crawl (stone soup) with tile support?

http://enne.walker.googlepages.com/stonesouptiles

Re: Faangband, Fallout, etc
 

I wasn't aware of that. There is some problem with build process when compiling for armel in scratchbox. If it's easy to fix I'll make another version.

Re: Faangband, Fallout, etc
 

The latest build is total perfection!

Thanks a ton mikkov! I love firing up rogue games in bed late at night... Helps me to fall asleep. :D

Real quick though, anyone got a good font or set up that works great for this?

The problem I'm having is that since I have a N800, I need some room on the screen for Xkbd.

Is there a way to cut down on how big Crawl thinks the terminal size is so that text won't be displayed underneath the virtual keyboard?

Thanks!

Re: Faangband, Fallout, etc
 

Okay, so Crawl requires a minimum of a 61x24 screen (80x24 recommended) but really needs at least a 72x24 screen, otherwise there will be a few quirks with the text display.

So here's the setup I've found to be the best.

Copy the Bitstream Vera Sans Mono font to /usr/share/fonts/nokia/ folder as root, then reboot your tablet.

Here's the virtual keyboard to be used.
Attachment 2233

Unfortunately I couldn't get it to be as fat as the one for Angband due to the required screen display needed for Crawl.

I also noticed that Xkbd is still broken under Diablo so, for now, we have to continue using the Caps Lock trick to get around that.

Copy this and save it as a Notes file on your memory card.

echo -e \033[?25l'
echo -e \033[?25l'
gconftool-2 -s -t int /apps/osso/xterm/font_size 10
gconftool -s /apps/osso/xterm/scrollbar -t bool false
stty cols 72
stty rows 24
xkbd -geometry +722+65536 -k /media/mmc2/N800/Angband/crawl.xkbd & crawl


From there, just simply open up the Notes file, Select All, then Copy.

Finally, open up Xterm, and while in a full screen with no toolbars or bottom keyboard, press the middle hardware key, Edit then Paste.

Here's a screenshot.

If you are playing with a hardware keyboard, simply remove the line stty cols 72 from your Notes file.

Lastly, if you exit out of the Dungeon immediately, I'm being prompted with:
You have escaped!morgue_directory() = ''

Not sure if that's anything to be concerned about since it doesn't seem to affect the gameplay at all.

If anyone has any better suggestions, please post your set up for the rest of us.

Cheers!

Re: Faangband, Fallout, etc
 

Hey, this is just awesome. I got it working with the help on this thread. The keyboard layout is really tough, at least on the 810. Gotta find a way to map the movement to the d-pad.

The stone soup tiles would *REALLY* kick serious butt.

Thanks for the port!

Re: Faangband, Fallout, etc
 

Hey Null!

I don't think your idea on using the D-Pad is going to be a solution for you.

A user by the name of qole told me some time ago that it is only capable of understanding 4 directions when pressed... apparently it's a hardware thing.

So basically that means it would be impossible for diagonal movement using strictly the D-Pad.

I'll agree that my set up has compromises, such as only having a 72x24 window and also a very small on-screen keyboard.

If there's a better set up that you can envision, I'd be willing to help out on this.

It only takes something like two minutes for me to change the size and appearance of the touch screen keyboard and the position on where it's placed.

Any suggestions I'd be happy to hear them out. :)

Re: Faangband, Fallout, etc
 

Actually, I believe over in one of the gaming threads we discovered that the dpad DID support diagonals, they were just extremely difficult to press :P

Sorry, my apologies for being nit-picky :)

Re: Faangband, Fallout, etc
 

anyone interested in porting crawl to fremantle? that would be so awesome...

Re: Faangband, Fallout, etc
 

Mikkov would be your leading person to ask on this.

In the meantime, if you have SSH installed, you can play it right now.

Crawl

Re: Faangband, Fallout, etc
 

All it takes to "port" crawl to fremantle is to upload sources to autobuilder. Somebody who plays crawl can do that.

Re: Faangband, Fallout, etc
 

In regards to porting the Fallout Engine via FIFE. FIFE changed its focus away from Fallout to become the Flexible Isometric Free Engine a long time ago, and have stripped out pretty much all the Fallout based code. Good news is I am in the process of writing up an engine for Fallout/Fallout 2 natively for the N900, this is very early in the process, so dont expect anything for a while.

Re: Faangband, Fallout, etc
 

bumb.

can anyone port crawl?

Re: Faangband, Fallout, etc
 

Won't it be easier just to wait for fallout online 2238 to be finished and then to port that? I believe it will be open source
