[joeldc13]

My freecraft have exactly the same problem as yours, and i\'m running a SL-C750 with a 60M swapfile on a CF on Cacko\'s ROM 1.21a
.... when i click on a unit it freeze, sometime I can click on two units but after it freeze up.....

Seem the problem may come from a rom/library version mismatch and not a unit incompatibility  .... I gonna give a last chance to Cacko\'s rom 1.21a then try switching to a different rom

I built stratagus for pdaXrom , and i don\'t encounter any problems of freeze , i don\'t use any partition swap , if you want the binary stratagus , i can you send to test it.

ronba : yes I\'d like it

Ok ,  send PM with your email !!!!!

Thanks. lucho.

I got a request from a friend:

Code: [Select]

If you can jot down the one-key command shortcuts (so I can actually get a unit to "do" something) I\'ll enter the results of a little actual gameplay. I haven\'t gotten Stratagus/Wargus working on my laptop yet, SO I still haven\'t seen a command menu...

...so I\'ll jot down some commands here...

If you select a Peon, you can:
* Move - (then select another location to move to... note: at that location, the unit doesn\'t do anything...
* Stop - Stop moving... this is good when your units are about to attack someone/something and you don\'t want them to
* Attack - Attack something.  After pressing this, select the location you want to attack
* Repair - If your buildings are damaged, click this, and then select the building you want
* Harvest - You can harvest trees and gold.  Select this and then select a tree or a gold mine.
* Build Basic Structure - Build a building.  After selecting this you can then select what building to build, such as: Farm, Barracks, and Town Hall.  As you advance in the game you\'ll be able to build more and more buildings.  There are about about 16 buildings you can build.  After you press a key to select the building, then select a location.

Those are only a few of the keys, but it should be enough to play around with and to see if it works or not.   Let me know if that is what you\'re looking for...

The binary is opensource, so it is safe to post the binary on this forum (isn\'t it?).  ronba, Could you post the binary here so pdaXrom users can test it?

Wait a second!  Stratagus is compiled to work with particular ROMs?  So, you can\'t compile stratagus to generically work with all ROMs?

THAT\'S IT!!  I suspect stratagus was compiled for the standard SL-C7x0 ROM, which is pretty different from the standard SL-C860 ROM!!!  Can someone try compiling stratagus for the standard (dynamism or no) Sharp ROM for SL-C860?  I\'m thinking that might be the problem!  What does everyone else think?

here\'s the binary compiled for pdaXrom

I still didn\'t had time to test it (trying to launch it in pure console mode with my Qt rom at the moment)

[ronba]

No panic with the start stratagus , it show files that cannot read ( I  don\'t know why ? ) , but finally warcraft2 start.
Sometimes there is a problem with the mouse on mini map , it lost the calibre ,so for the recalibrate, you must put the mouse in a corner and move it away from corner , then click around screen center , the mouse will be recalibre.

No problem the binary stratagus on pdaXrom  maybe to share , to test it.

I did finally set up a dual boot (just bought an SD card) thanks to this post and got it working with pdaXrom  ... but it\'s really slow as it\'s running on a cheap sd card  :cry: seems to be a rom / compilation problem so if someone can have it compiled for cacko\'s 1.21a rom ?

[ThC]

well ... I\'m now downloading zgcc to recompile stratagus right on my C860 with the 1.21a rom ... hope it\'ll work

[tip]

I got WarCraft 2 working on C860, first try.
I installed stratagus package from the forum.
Added the symbolic link /opt/QtPalmtop/lib/stratagus -] /mnt/card/data.wc2
And clicked the Icon.

The games started and I played (and got my butt kicked) for a couple hours.  I did not get to finish my game because when I tried to save the game it died.  When I open it back it shows up under saved games but won\'t load.

Anyway thanks everyone for making this work.

tip, what ROM are you using?  (sorry if you\'ve already posted it and I missed it above)

[yzord]

Just to throw in my 2cents, I got the game up and running first try as well (well, I actually thought it had crashed, but it just took a while to load).
I\'m using the TKCrom rom on a C760 (haven\'t gotten around to flashing to Cacko).
I have libSDL 1.2.6-zports_c7x0-1 from the zports page.

Tony & Thc: Given the issues you\'re having - are you sure it\'s not something you have installed that\'s killing the install? Why not try backing up your Z, formatting the flash, and reinstalling clean (with just the necessary libsdl stuff) to see if it\'s not something else?

We appeared to have solved the problem on the other thread ( http://www.zaurususergroup.com/index.php?n...c&p=25656#25656 )... at least for all of those who have tried it so far.  Many people had the wrong SDL library installed.  Another versionwas recommended and it works fine!   Hurray!

Let me know if there is anyone out there taht this doesn\'t solve the problem for...
