only one way work here, maybe I need to update ? ReadConfig: Reading the Configuration. IWad: Selecting base game data. Can not find base game data. (*.wl6, *.wl1, *.sdm, *.sod) ----- goal is to provide a .desktop file that simply launch the game with standard parameters; if users know better, they can call ecwolf by hand with custom parameters. (or edit the .desktop file) > The next version of ECWolf will have a way to autoload the wad through the > config, although I'm starting to consider adding support for auto detection > and loading it since you're not the first person to have asked. This .desktop file should work out-of-the-box for all users; without having to manually edit config files. This could of course also be handled by a wrapper script in our generated .deb that creates the config file before first run or by patching the engine in the Debian package. (use case 1: a computer with 3 users-id, parent has a credit card & Steam account, buy the game and then install it with game-data-packager so that child1 & child2 can play it, without having a Steam account in their unix account use case 2: game is bought on a x86 computer running Steam, but end up being played on an RaspberryPi or some other arm device) >> Could ecwolf be symlinked as /usr/games/s3dna and automaticaly >> start in S3DNA mode when called this way + autodetect noah3d.wad >> the same ways Doom engines chex.deh for example ? > > No. The noah3d binary uses a slightly modified version of ECWolf which can > be found here: https://bitbucket.org/Blzut3/super-3d-noahs-ark One of the > modifications made there is the autoloading of that wad.

Well, I don't know the whole story, but if there really is something broken in SDL_mixer, I'd rather have it fixed upstream for all games. --- By the way: We are trying to also support Blake Stone, but I couldn't identify all the old versions. In "patchutil" you use CRC32, to identify files, while we use MD5; could you provide us the MD5 for the old versions ? This can be in any very rough format, I'll do the editing. (for wolf3d we should already have all versions) http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-games/game-data-packager.git/tree/data/blakestone.yaml https://bitbucket.org/Blzut3/ecwolf/src/eeac477f694f572b2ad8bc2131d042e8fdca361e/tools/patchutil/main.cpp?at=default Alexandre -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
