Problem starting OpenRA (Solved)

[Lamoot]

Hello,

First of all kudos to your effort, it's really cool to see this engine being recreated in open source, especially seeing all the small gui and functionality improvements that make a lot of difference. However I'm having some trouble starting the game, well it doesn't start at all and this is what I get in the console:

Code: Select all

matjaz@matjaz-desktop ~ $ openra

I'm using:
CPU: Athlon II X2 3.2ghz
GPU: nVidia GTS 450
4gb RAM
Linux Mint 9 (based on Ubuntu 10.4)
I installed OpenRA with the installer for debian systems found on your website.

Any ideas why it can't find the files? As far as I know it did download them during the install. Any ideas how to proceed?

Did you download c&c .mix data files and put them in mods/cnc/packages/ path?
Did you read install info?

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 and http://open-ra.org/get-dependency.php?file=ra-packages

ddd, I expected the installer itself will do all this so I didn't really dig deeper. If this is all already mentioned in the install guide, my bad.

beedee, thanks for the help, now the game starts. Enough talk, let's test
