OpenRA

Please refer to our FAQ on what to do about crashes: http://www.sleipnirstuff.com/forum/view ... 81&t=14842

OpenRA is built as a fun project in our free time, designed to be insanely modifiable / extendable, using a high level garbage collected language. This means that it is never going to run as fast as the original games. We may be rebuilding a 15 year old game, but we are using modern technologies wh...

Completely different rendering technology. Besides, we're more fans of the original games so that's where our focus is.

Thanks for that, all publicity is quite welcome

The error you're reporting, can you lay out a series of steps that causes the bug?

Can you easily reproduce it?

Have a look in /tmp for cnc-packages.zip and ra-packages.zip. If they're there, extract them into /usr/share/openra/mods/cnc/packages and /usr/share/openra/mods/ra/packages respectively. If they aren't there, you can download them manually from http://open-ra.org/get-dependency.php?file=cnc-packages...

cg will probably be removed as a dependency anyway as the new default renderer doesn't use it.

The game is focused on multiplayer at the moment, you can't pause a multiplayer game.

You can't currently pause the game.

Don't be in to much of a rush. We're going to push a new release today that fixes the Makefile and gives saner OpenGL error messages.

Due to the new packaging system, the Makefile install target has probably bitrotted. I'll fix it for the next release.

There is a new renderer courtesy of pchote/Sleipnir currently in our testing branch that will hopefully be in the next release. From preliminary testing it seems to fix this problem without needing the old driver DLL.

It's an unfortunate fact that RPM based systems all have different names for their packages, I can't fix this without installing a copy of Fedora myself and distributing a separate RPM for it.

does OpenRA need a better videocard than the original ra? wtf...... We use hardware acceleration to get a much higher resolution and graphical effects that the original never had. It also makes our lives a hell of a lot easier. In case you hadn't noticed, we're kind of spread a bit thin. Sure there...
