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

[TonyOlsen]

Hm... I think I may have stumbled onto something here...

In terminal I did the following:

Code: [Select]

bash-2.05$ su

# cd /home/QtPalmtop/bin

# ./stratagus

Qt/Embedded data directory is not owned by user 0

Aborted

# ./stratagus -d /mnt/cf/War2/data.wc2

Qt/Embedded data directory is not owned by user 0

Aborted

# exit

bach-2.05$ ./stratagus

Display size = 480x640

could not open translation file /home/QtPalmtop//i18n/zh_TW/libs1.mid

filename:/home/QtPalmtop/liob/fonts/arial_140_50_t10.qpf

fontName:lcfont , size:10

Maybe you need to specify another gamepath with \'-d /path/to/datadir\'?

bash-2.05$ ./stratagus -d /mnt/cf/War2/data.wc2

Display size = 480x640

could not open translation file /home/QtPalmtop//i18n/zh_TW/libs1.mid

filename:/home/QtPalmtop/liob/fonts/arial_140_50_t10.qpf

fontName:lcfont , size:10

./stratagus by itself couldn\'t find the /home/QtPalmtop/lib/stratagus symlink I created for it.  Are we sure that it looks for \"stratagus\" at this location?

[lucho]

zaurus:~$ ls -l /opt/Qtopia/lib/stratagus
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 May 9 15:43 /opt/QtPalmtop/lib/stratagus -] /mnt/cf/data.wc2

In your case you need /opt/QtPalmtop/lib/stratagus to point to /mnt/cf/War2/data.wc2, i.e.

su
rm /opt/QtPalmtop/lib/stratagus
ln -s /mnt/cf/War2/data.wc2 /opt/QtPalmtop/lib/stratagus

That did it!  Now I can run the game from the icon!

Testing...

Human Campain.  Click on Peon, select harvest button, select Gold Mine.  Peon enters mine.  Select Town Hall...

...Zaurus freezes.

...so close!

I had my 128 MB swapfile turned on, and last I checked I had about 160 MB free... that should be enough, so I\'m assuming this isn\'t a memory issue...

[TonyOlsen]

While Stratagus was running, I switched over to Terminal to see how much memory was being used.  It went from around 30 MB being used to around 60 MB being used.

In other words, it looks like Stratagus takes about 30 MB to run.  (And I only had about 1.4 MB free.  Thank goodness I have a 128 MB swapfile  ).

[TonyOlsen]

More details on the crash: It appears to never happen when I click on a menu on the left and only happens when I click on a unit or building.  This tells me that stratagus crashes while either loading up a new sound file (even though I have the sound turned off) or while loading up the new menu on the left.

[TonyOlsen]

Who still doesn\'t have the WarCraft image?  (pm me)

[ngok]

you can put all your staff in cf,include Stratagus and data.wc2.
create a war2.sh file like this:
/mnt/cf/war2/Stratagus -d /mnt/cf/war2/data.wc2

put it into /opt/QtPalmtop/bin
give it run permission,
then you can create a new icon in your game tab by the tool ホーム画面設定
this is what I did,it runs fine.

guys,

any idea what the problem might be? When I start stratagus from the console on my Z5500, I get an SDL error, saying that the video device is not available. Nevertheless libSDL 1.2.6 and all related SDL libraries are  installed and working.

I am using stratagus_2.0.0-1_arm.ipk

My commandline parameters:
./stratagus -d /opt/Qtopia/lib/stratagus -v 7

and the error I get on the console right after the start:
Couldn\'t initialize SDL: No available video device


   
thanks,
Ulf

approximatively the same problem for me as for TonyOlsen ... except the Z hangs up when I select a unit or just click somewhere on the map after running the game (btw I can go in the option menu if I dont click anywere before)
any idea ?

[TonyOlsen]

It \"feels\" like a memory issue.  Is there a way to force Linux to free up X MB from the terminal?... or a way to run a program (such as stratagus) with pre-allocated memory, so that nothing else uses that memory except for stratagus?

[tg]

It \"feels\" like a memory issue.

Looks like we need purify for zaurus to track this down  :wink:

[joeldc13]

Hello all, I\'ve got exactly the same problem, C750 with a 60 M swap file on a CF, Lauching stratagus, it runs OK put when I select a peon or a building or trying to do something with a unit the Z entirely freeze.......

I don\'t know what to do....

[TonyOlsen]

It seems like when I move slower in the game it takes longer before it crashes.  ...almost as if the Zaurus has had time to alocate the needed additional memory...

I\'ve finally setup a swap partition using a network block device.
But warcraft doesn\'t render the entire screen in 320x240... half of the screen is hidden, it would be nice if we can un-scaled it by 2.
Do you think is something that I can hack in the SDL library or in stratgus?

I didn\'t have any crash so far with 64M of swap. I\'ve click everywhere but I can\'t play the game because the left panel is half hidden!

[TonyOlsen]

As was recommended from someone on another thread ( http://www.zaurususergroup.com/index.php?n...c&p=25288#25288 ), I tried:

Code: [Select]

./stratagus -d /mnt/cf/War2/data.wc2 &> /mnt/cf/logfile.txt

After the crash the logfile.txt now contains:

Code: [Select]
