[Maemo 5] Little Big Adventure
 

Hi!

I ported Little Big Adventure engine to Maemo 5.

This is _JUST_ the engine, you will need to original data files in order to play.
Once obtained, create a folder /home/user/MyDocs/.lba/ and copy the files to that dir.

Thank you! :)

Re: [Maemo 5] Little Big Adventure
 

Is there a way to change keylayout?
I would like to play with GameGripper.

Re: [Maemo 5] Little Big Adventure
 

No, the layout is hard coded, sorry.
I can try to make it configurable with a config file.

Re: [Maemo 5] Little Big Adventure
 

Indeed, the Game Gripper is the best complement for the N900.

Re: [Maemo 5] Little Big Adventure
 

I ordered it some days ago but I think it's still not available, I'm waiting for it. :)

Re: [Maemo 5] Little Big Adventure
 

Hmm, kind of strange. The binary that was installed segfaults right after initiating audio. The binary that was left in source strangely enough runs (no voices, but movies and sound effects play ok). Your source compiled on-device behaves like the leftover binary in source. One strange behaviour I noticed: in combat mode attacking turns you left some 90 degrees so fighting is very hard.

Re: [Maemo 5] Little Big Adventure
 

Yea if you got the time, it would be great.

Re: [Maemo 5] Little Big Adventure
 

Stranger than this: on my system the package from extras devel works (no crash).
Could it be related to sdl-mixer (I have version 1.2.6-5+0m5 installed)?

I see, I'll try to fix this, thanks.

Re: [Maemo 5] Little Big Adventure
 

doesnt work as well in mine.
Sound seems to be corrupted, in the keyboard just ctrl, z and p, worked fine. Other keys dont. Anyway, i downloaded the lba HQ for dos, i renamed all the files becouse your executable search for downcase names, i renamed all from the upper in downcase.

Re: [Maemo 5] Little Big Adventure
 

Does it crash?

I din't try it with lba HQ, but with lba (the one I downloaded has downcase names and it's the original TwinEngine that works this way).

Re: [Maemo 5] Little Big Adventure
 

I fixed this but this wasn't a bug, it was "by design"...only in auto mode.
I cannot remember if the original game had such a behavior (maybe it's to make auto mode less easy?).
Surely this makes fighting too difficult on a mobile device as the n900...

Re: [Maemo 5] Little Big Adventure
 

No, ran this on vista box, 90 degree turn is not part of standard package. Run it in dosbox on desktop and compare, there is lag. Additional awkwardness is useless

Re: [Maemo 5] Little Big Adventure
 

Ok, I'll update the source with this bug fixed, thanks.

Re: [Maemo 5] Little Big Adventure
 

hi..can you give detailed instruction on what to copy to .lba folder?
because i have the data files in .zip format,then i unpack it..theres few folder and files there..one of the folder is called LBA..
i create .lba in MyDocs, then i copied the whole folder and files to .lba..but when i start the game, it went back to home screen..
im not sure which to copy or i downloaded the wrong data files?

Re: [Maemo 5] Little Big Adventure
 

In my .lba folder I don't have any subdirectory.
Files are named *.HQR, *.LBA, *.DLL (probably DLLs aren't needed).

Re: [Maemo 5] Little Big Adventure
 

Uploaded an update to fix the "auto fight issue". ;)

Re: [Maemo 5] Little Big Adventure
 

The game doesn't run from the menu icon, but if I excute from terminal /opt/maemo/usr/games/twin-e it runs well. Does this happens to anyone else?

Re: [Maemo 5] Little Big Adventure
 

Yes, I tried now and the menu icon does not work also for me.
Strange, it's just executing the same command.
I'll investigate this issue, thanks.

Re: [Maemo 5] Little Big Adventure
 

Uploaded version 1.0.2 fixing the icon issue. ;)

Re: [Maemo 5] Little Big Adventure
 

did you made some progress whit this? I've been working with the keymapping and I have it almost done, as soon as I finish some details I'll post the code.

Re: [Maemo 5] Little Big Adventure
 

No, it's just in my "todo list" :)
If you post a patch I'll upload the updated package (or do it yourself), many thanks.

Re: [Maemo 5] Little Big Adventure
 

Here is the patch file: lba_keymappings.patch

List of changes:

• The configuration file is stored in /home/user/.littlebigadventure/lba.ini. The directory is created during the package installation and the file is created (if it doesn't exist) the fist time the game runs with the keymappings sakya defined.
• I used iniParser to parse the config file, I included the source in the patch.
• I added rm -f twin-e to the clean section of Makefile.maemo

Sakya, let me know if there is something to fix before uploading this patch or if you want me to upload it, thanks

Re: [Maemo 5] Little Big Adventure
 

Uploaded the new package now, I just changed the path of the config file to /home/user/MyDocs/.lba/lba.ini (why create another directory for the config file if we have one ready for it?). :)

Re: [Maemo 5] Little Big Adventure
 

Great idea with lba.ini!
For some reason I cannot update because post-installation script exits with "error status 2". The line before in FAPMAN's error log says "unable to execute post-installation script: no such file or directory". LBA is working well so I don't know why I can't update. Maybe it's just my phone ...

Re: [Maemo 5] Little Big Adventure
 

Ops, I forgot to remove the postinst script.
Uploaded now a fix release, it should work now.

Re: [Maemo 5] Little Big Adventure
 

Ini file works great and helps a lot. But somehow I didn't manage to get my function key (the green arrow between Ctrl and Shift) to work in the game.

Re: [Maemo 5] Little Big Adventure
 

Blue arrow? It's seen as Alt_Gr (right alt). I don't know, if it's bindable for LBA, but You can try.

Re: [Maemo 5] Little Big Adventure
 

Ah, Alt_Gr :-)
Unfortunately doesn't work. Just thought it would be nice to be able to use the left row of keys ...
