Type98 Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 System: Linux Debian distribution, Kernel 2.6.15.1 (32bit), nvidia 6800 driver 8178, 2GB RAM. Apologies if the following have been addresses already. Account and password are not saved between network games (If the player use the "quit game" button exit server, the game exits the network session and the user password is reset to root/******). Is StandAlone=Single Player ? This option implies LAN server, but does not allow user to set up server and player mode. Can't tell if this is intentional or not as Standalone mode is selectable. No option to change account name or password once registered. Options->Video Mode had 800x600x32 listed five times. Not sure where this came from. Changing the video Mode resets the resolution imediately and dumps the player back to the Account screen. IMHO, larger crosshair or range markers would help with estimating lead (although it is kind of funny that the auto range computes elevation but not lead). It is difficult for me to have to press E for gunner zoom while trying to manuever the vehicle at the same time (unless the game is intended to be stop and shoot, but the AI bots don't do that).

ClaytoniousRex Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 No, these haven't been reported, so thanks for posting them. Account and password are not saved between network gamesThis isn't happening here. Is anyone else seeing this? Are your other settings being saved, Type98? Maybe there's a permission issue with the settings file? Is StandAlone=Single Player ?Yes, including standalone/server for LAN games. This is disabled in the public multiplayer test release. Options->Video Mode had 800x600x32 listed five times.Is that mode listed multiple times in your X config? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Type98 Posted March 20, 2006 Author Share Posted March 20, 2006 Where is the settings file ? Video Modes are not saved (no attempt has been made to save the keyboard settings). All the permissions under the DropTeam directory is set to 777 and user owns all the file. The installation was to ftp the file down and untarred to /opt/dropteam by root. The non-root user cd to /opt/dropteam/DropTeam; followed by ./runClient.sh Xorg.conf has 800X600 listed for different depth, so is 1024x768 and it does show up 3 selectable under the Option -> Video Modes rather than 5.

Redcon-5 Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 When your turret is destroyed all enemy vehicals disapear, even if they are in line of sight of the driver. Twice I have driven over enemies because I did not see them. A dead turret does not mean you are use less I have grabed the flag with no turret just fine but can't see the enemy to avoid him on the way back to base.

ClaytoniousRex Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Type98, can the user who plays the game successfully do this: </font><blockquote>code:</font><hr /><pre style="font-size:x-small; font-family: monospace;">cd /opt/dropteam/DropTeam/data echo hello > hello.txt cat hello.txt</pre> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Type98 Posted March 20, 2006 Author Share Posted March 20, 2006 Yes, the user has no problem doing the following: $ cd ~$ cd /opt/dropteam/DropTeam/data /opt/dropteam/DropTeam/data$ echo hello > hello.txt /opt/dropteam/DropTeam/data$ cat hello.txt hello /opt/dropteam/DropTeam/data$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaytoniousRex Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Can the user mv /opt/dropteam/DropTeam/data/Settings.dat to somewhere else? (This is the file in question, BTW). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Type98 Posted March 20, 2006 Author Share Posted March 20, 2006 Yes, no problem with that either. /opt/dropteam/DropTeam/data$ mv /opt/dropteam/DropTeam/data/Settings.dat /tmp /opt/dropteam/DropTeam/data$ls /tmp/Settings.dat /tmp/Settings.dat /opt/dropteam/DropTeam/data$ The permissions on Settings.dat is 644 (rw-r--r--) and owned by thte user.

Type98 Posted March 21, 2006 Author Share Posted March 21, 2006 Doing the following fixed the Settings.dat problem: From the shell prompt: >cd /opt/dropteam/DropTeam/bin >export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:../lib/ >./SpaceVikings It may be a shell version issue. The current /bin/sh points to bash which is version 3.1.5(1). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
