Great! It appears to be stable after running via terminal shell (I meant to try that ):

stratagus -v 2 -d /media/mmc1/games/stratagus

BTW: Can we run this on mmc2? Can it be hildonized so we can switch to another program and switch back to the game (mainly so I can take screenshots of the game)?

Thanks Bundyo. It turned out the USB issue had to do with my computer. I don't know what happened, but I just rebooted and it seems to be working ok now. Your -3 version runs ok for me, although it does crash when I try to build stuff. It doesn't crash when I run it from the terminal though. This game plays plays surprisingly well on the tablets, a little bit slow yes, but totally playable. A mouse would sure make it easier! Thanks a lot for this!!

No problem
Though it doesn't crash when you build, if you leave the game for a while it will crash by itself. These symptoms are usually caused when the dbus service isn't properly configured, but i can't seem to solve it for now.

Updated to 0.1-4, fixed crashing when starting from menu.

I am trying to get the boswars to start but with no luck. Does it need a modified engine ?

Let me check.

EDIT: This game is not going to work anytime soon - requires OpenGL to get compiled. Sorry.

thanks Bundyo. I can now safely delete it from the tablet and hunt the old copy of w2

Quick Question, does it support the music? Or did something not get copied correctly?

-- Edit: Answer: Nope; the Wargus converter doesn't pull music. I'll see if I can get it to play mp3's...

Very Interesting, I've got the title music working. Unfortunately the game doesn't support MP3 or OGG so you have to use either a WAV or a .WAV compressed with gzip (maybe bzip, haven't tried it but the source code supports it) to at least take a bit (about 1/5th) of size off of it.

Man I forgot how much I loved the WC music until I heard it coming out of my N810... :-D

Someone else has a simple LUA patch to add file based music instead of CD music. I'll convert it to wav format patch and then if you really want to "waste" 20-30 megs of space for the music (like me) you can. ;-)

Once I have ported it -- I'll let post the simple replacement script file. In the meantime you can download the "official WCII MP3" from several sites on the web (22 megs) -- Blizzard released them a while back.

Nathan.

This looks great, and I can't wait to play it on my N800 (OS2008), but I can't get it to work properly. Installing the .deb from the opening post and extracting game files went ok, but when I try to run it (with stratagus -v 2 -d /media/mmc1/games/stratagus) I get the following:

...A long list with things like this:
Can't open file `ui/statsthump.wav'
Can't load the sound `ui/statsthump.wav'
...

[string "/media/mmc1/games/stratagus/scripts/fonts.l..."]:32: error in function 'New'.

Also tried -v 1, same problem.
