Acolades to you Ravage!!!

 

Good work!!!

 

I'm so psyched to finally have FreeSpace 1&2 for Linux...

 

One more reason to be booting in Windoze has been removed.

 

NWN will be one of the final obsticles...

 

And THAT wait is nearly over.

 

By the way,... ever think of doing a NWN file installer from the CDs???

Okay, during install, I get this error:

 

Installing FreeSpace: The Great War

Verifying archive integrity... All good.

Uncompressing Freespace: The Great War for Linux.............................................................

ERROR: No matching delta for /usr/local/games/freespace/root.vp

 

Ok, even though it says it completed successfully... Then:

 

dana@digory:~$ freespace

Installing default /home/dana/.freespace/FreeSpace.ini

Error: (src/gamesnd/eventmusic.cpp:1061): Unable to parse music.tbl! Code = 5.

 

Segmentation fault

 

Yippie. What do I do?

I got no errors installing using the FreeSpace 2 installer.

 

What I DO get are periodic crashes in the game as well as pauses and hiccups...

 

Similar to the effect I got with FreeSpace 1...

 

I guess this is just the state of the port,... or is there something I'm missing???

does this md5sum match root.vp on your cd?

a12621b5e8fbfca2b88e983fb5a79a90 *./root.vp

 

 

edit: n/m, I just looked at the buffer in irc.  I'll just add root.vp to the installer since it's a small file.

 

So, does this mean that my FreeSpace CDs are out of date or something strange?

No idea. We shall see what happens when Freespace 2 hits release status :)

Maybe you have a different region CD? My CD is the USA version. What does it say on the bottom of your box?

Box? I got mine in a jewel case for like $10. Heh.

 

Here's the md5sums from the CD itself, if you wanna just compare them. I deleted the directory entries, as they are just errors.

The installer doesn't support the GOTY edition of FreeSpace 2, or any of the non-english versions (which I sould assume means the North American release). I assume the data files are just a little bit off...

cbf updating it with this file yet, so there's the patched version.

 

PROMO.EXE looks curious though, perhaps you have some promotional copy...

We are talking about Freespace 1 here, but that still applies anyway. By non-english, I meant German, French, etc...

Well, I bought it off the shelf at EB. It was in a two-pack with Silent Threat.

 

I'll try running that on a Windows computer and report back what it does.
