Title: Crimson Fields
Post by: terryleung83 on August 16, 2005, 05:25:51 pm

Crimson fields...it seems to be a very nice game
Anyone get it work?

Requirements: libSDL, libSDL_mixer. libSDL-ttf, libfreetype and zlib

I have installed all of them but it doesnt work
sure I use the libSDL from the emulator package
I dont know if it is the reason or not...

i am running it on c860 with cacko (sharp rom) 1.22. It uses sdl from piro's site.
http://www.piro.hopto.org/~piro/zaurus/SDL...41025-j_arm.ipk (http://www.piro.hopto.org/~piro/zaurus/SDL/libsdl_1.2.5-slzaurus20041025-j_arm.ipk)

i set the environment variables as follows and then run crimson.

#!/bin/bash
export SDL_FB_HWROT=1
export SDL_FB_DIRECT=0
export SDL_FB_SIZE=640x480
crimson

it seems to work now

just like to say i have been able to happily load up crimson on my collie

had issues with it saying from terminal that certain libraries where missing,

it was saying i didnt have libSDL-1.2.so.0 , which i figured was part of the libsdl package ...(no brainer)

but i had libsdl installed, infact about three different versions at one time to no avail, so after getting this idea from someone else in another thread about another topic (povray) i looked around in filemanager and found the libSDL file version that i had installed... :0

it was libSDL-1.2.so.0.0.6    , in /opt/QtPalmtop/lib/ btw,

so i just made a copy and renamed it to the one requested above, and i got it to load up !!, could have alternatively done it with a symlink as well im sure.

now i just have to deal with running out of memory and it rebooting , and the odd crash  

but its still fun, and very playable, i just love turn-based games i.ei jagged alliance which would make a great port, hint hint

another note, i last night downloaded an older version ( 0.321) from http://www.linuxvision.de/crimson/old/archive.html (http://www.linuxvision.de/crimson/old/archive.html) after reading through the current readme change-log to see that that version had support for the z's "shortcut" buttons thus making it not necessary to use the keyboard at all on a 5500

there are less maps, and perhaps some other changes missing, but it runs and plays better !
