Hi guys, I hear you make a cool new mod. Have you thought about using the Unreal engine - I hear it's really hot!!!

 

Has anyone had any joy getting Thief's Den or St Lucia running on Ubuntu 9.04? I've apt-got libdeveil1c2 via the synaptic package manager, though I couldn't find libmng so I installed libmng1 instead, whatever that does. Oh and I've patched Doom, which works a treat. Wine seemed to unpack the mission .exe files successfully. Anyhow, the Darkmod maps just crash back to desktop after the splash screen when I try to launch them. I've tried on three different computers with slightly different hardware and it's always the same, all with pretty much fresh installs of Ubuntu 9.04. Grrr!

 

On a happier note, Darkradiant compiles easily and seems to be running well...

 

Still, it's all looking very awesome from the screenshots :)

Can you be more specific about the crashes? What happens before that crash, I mean which steps lead to that? I gather the game can be launched normally and you get to the main menus?

Hi - Sadly I don't get as far as menus. I pick a map from the Doom3 Mods menu, I get a fleeting glimpse of a Darkmod splash screen, then I'm back to desktop...

Ok, sounds like it is crashing immediately when trying to load the TDM module. Are you sure that you picked the right libdevil library? You could also try to inspect the gamex86.so file using ldd to see whether any references are missing.

 

Plus, can you try to run D3 from the console:

 

/usr/local/games/doom3/doom.x86 +set fs_game darkmod

 

Maybe you can spot an error message or a "segfault" message or something.

Oh, you mean that console (I was trying for ages in the game console - doh)

 

Good thinking. I get this...

I guess the interesting bit is the end where it tries to copy, but then can't load gamex86.so, or does it mean that it can't open libIL.so.1...?

Do you have a 64bit Ubuntu? In this case the FAQ mentions a few things different:

 

http://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?...64_Bit_Linux.3F

 

 

As for general Ubuntu 9.04 support, at the time of the release of Saint Lucia, that didn't exist yet, so naturally we couldn't support it :) However, for the next TDM release we have build-in libdevil and libboost, so it will work on a wider range of systems.

I do not want you to switch engines like the op but could use some help getting saintlucia running on ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope 2.6.28-11-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 17 01:58:03 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux.

 

Doom3 is patched and works great but the mod does not.

I followed the directions in the faq before I came here.

The game doesn't appear to be finding the saintlucia directory. Are you sure you extracted everything to the correct location? For Saint Lucia you should have the directory ./doom3/saintlucia, not ./doom3/darkmod.

Yeah, I think thelvyn wants to be using the argument +set fs_game saintlucia to start the game, not +set fs_game darkmod

 

Not that I'd know anything about it :(

I copied that from Greebos message sorry about that.

 

I solved the problem at any rate. Partly it was my fault and partly yours :P

First my fault, I did what im used to doing for mods and exracted to the game directory which is wrong here.

I unpacked to /usr/local/games/doom3/saintlucia INSTEAD of ~/.doom3/saintlucia

 

Secondly it WILL NOT RUN by using the commandline /usr/local/games/doom3/doom.x86 +set fs_game saintlucia

I have to use the script it puts in my HOME directory and it works fine now.

When I did that it works fine now. Do not have time to play it now but it started and ran fine.

 

Thanks for trying to help though :)

Now I can play it later but not sure how its going to run on my crappy system.

It's not surprising that greebo posted the wrong command since that is the current command to run darkmod. Once the mod is released every FM will be run from within darkmod.

 

Glad you got it working. :)

 

 

 

:angry:

 

I take it you still can't play?

 

From the last log you posted:

 

dlopen '/home/jay/.doom3/saintlucia/gamex86.so' failed: libIL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

 

Do you have the correct (32bit) libIl.so.1 file? What is the output of locate libIl.so ?

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!
