WarCraft on the Zaurus (640x480)? "FreeCraft" or &

[ThC]

problem half solved (as stated in the other thread) for me... gonna try reflashing my rom to see if it solve entirely the prob

[tip]

CACkO Zaurus Qtopia ROM 1.21 Not 1.21a
libsdl_1.2.5-slzaurus20031201 older version, but seems to work
stratagus_2.0.0-1_arm.ipk Thanks lucho!

Seems like the older version of libsdl works best. Looks like joeldc13 got it working with the same version.

I also have a quick howto here.

OK ... so as I thought it was a rom issue ... but 1.21a was supposed to be an improvement of 1.21 so what\'s going wrong in it to prevent stratagus from working ? can some1 have it recompiled for 1.21a then ?

[tip]

Sorry ThC, I didn\'t mean to say it wouldn\'t work with 1.21a, just that I didn\'t have 1.21a.  I believe the issue is the newer version of libsdl, try the older one.

tryed it allready and with 1.21a i\'m able to make a building and about 2 clicks on the screen before it hangs up ... well ... kinda better than before but still not playable

[joeldc13]

I use Cacko\'s 1.21a and for me it works....
Hope you\'ll find out the problem.

[ThC]

joeldc13 , what\'s your secret ? did you install stratagus and libsdl before or after the upgrade to 1.21a ? games is now running fine for me with 1.21 (and not 1.21a) with the same libs and a fresh install ...

[tip]

Anyone got network games to work?  I tried creating a game on my laptop, then connecting with the zaurus.
Everything seemed to work just fine until the map loaded.  I could select a peon, but couldn\'t get him to move on my laptop or zaurus.

Anyone else had luck with this?

Thanks,

ThC, Did you use the \"special\" SDL library linked above?

[ThC]

TonyOlsen, yes with both 1.21 and 1.21a ...  :shock:

[joeldc13]

well, i don\'t have any secret.....

I\'ve installed 1.21a patch before installing the game, after i installed the libsdl in version 1.2.6, the stratagus ipk, remove the lib sdl 1.2.6, installed the libsdl 1.2.5 and after it worked....

that is exactly what i\'ve done.....

[ThC]

kinda weird ... well now it\'s working I think I won\'t move from 1.21 but ... any1 have a scummvm version wich work with this sdl lib ? as if I upgrade to a sdl lib wich works with my scummvm, stratagus won\'t work anymore  (these sdl libs version mismatch are getting annoying :/ ... can someone have stratagus recompiled in order to work with more recent sdl libs ?

[joeldc13]

I don\'t think it\'s stratagus that we need to recompile, I think it\'s the sdlLibs that are buggy in version 1.2.6, not stratagus.....

[ThC]

ok so i\'m back to the first question ... does anyone knows a version of scummvm wich works in Qtopia with sdl < 1.2.6 ?

[TonyOlsen]

I\'ve been playing through the human campaigns.  It\'s been great!...

...but on occasion Stratagus will simply close without warning, and I lose my place in the game.  All in all, that isn\'t too bad.   Stratagus, in most ways, is actually better than the original WarCraft 2, because of the extra abilities.

ThC, I\'m glad to hear that Stratagus is working for you now.

Does anyone else have any remaining problems getting Stratagus working?
