Really weird... No hitting with melee weapons

[ezze]

I just compiled (the code) the game and I started playing the Tears of St. Lucia. I was not expecting an angry guard when I was outside, but a hammer carrying guy run towards me.

Quickly I understand he cannot hurt me, he strikes his hammer but always misses. It is the same when I try to defend with the sword: I cannot hurt him.

 

I tried in the Training Mission arena and it is the same, but interestingly broadhead arrows and stones (or what ever the guard throws at you when you are not reachable) works fine.

 

 

Is that a known bug? What can I try? Now I see if it happens also with the last trunk version. Edit: it does not help, same behavior.

It is really annoying, because as far I can see not even the blackjack works...

 

Edit: it seems there is no hitting at all. I cannot strike walls or objects either...

Here is the fairly long log of TDM: I start the training mission, pickup the sword, and try to kill the first builder in the shadow section (the one busy with paperwork). I cannot stab him and when I do some noises he finds me, but he cannot hit me either.

Sounds like some problem with the collision code, although I've never heard of that before.

I vaguely remember hitting a problem like this a couple of years ago when I tried to make my own build of TDM on Linux, might well have also been on Arch, seem to remember trying to use the AUR for this ... but as that's all I remember (I didn't investigate, just went back to using Wine with the standard release) it's not too helpful, sorry.

 

P.S. How do I search for my older posts? I can't find anything older than 22 posts back, think I may have posted on this topic longer ago, but can't find it...

How can I debug, is there a way?

[ezze]

I also have problems loading... Probably I will just follow Araneidae idea and use Wine. It is a pity there is no 5.1 sound however...

I don't recommend this -- I used Wine before TDM 2.0 was standalone. Still, if no one who knows their way around the code has seen the problem it's a bit tricky to get started on. Presumably the TDM 2.0 download works properly for you?

[ezze]

The load problems come from the binary I got from with the downloader, however no collision problem. In the beginning I wanted to compile because I had to use LD_LIBRARY_PATH to rename a lib with the pre-compiled binary.

 

Besides I have the feeling the game is faster with Wine.
