Install Openra on Opensuse 11.3

[Stefan-Maverick]

I tried to install openra from repo (Build service games)
But this works not.

Then i tried git clone git://github.com/chrisforbes/OpenRA.git
I downloaded the mix files and copied it to the packages.

I get this error:
sandra@linux-jy0v:~/OpenRA> mono OpenRA.Game.exe Game.Mods=ra

My machine is Opensuse 11.3, AMD Phenom II X4 B50, ATI Radeon 4800 with fglrx driver

Can anybody help me about this error?

You need to copy the thirdparty dlls into the game root. This is covered in the INSTALL doc.

[Stefan-Maverick]

Thanks, now it works.

One Questions:
Can I get german language? (Did i need german mix files?)

I tested today, the result is:
RA is working
cnc gets an error

I tried the same on my laptop.
Modell: Compaq Evo N610c (a little bit older)

I get an error, that my gpu is not good enough for the game.

graphics.log:

Is there a chance to get it working?

[Sleipnir]

The cnc crash is caused by the default map being broken - either choose a different map in the lobby or pull a new copy of the code (it was recently fixed).

If you install the nvidia cg package, you may be able to run with that on your laptop (it has slightly lower requirements than the default renderer) by running the game with the argument Graphics.Renderer=Cg

[Stefan-Maverick]

Ok, on the PC its working.

On the Laptop i get:
stefan@linux-b3ym:~/OpenRA> mono OpenRA.Game.exe Game.Mods=cnc Graphics.Renderer=Cg
KDE colorscheme read failure, using built-in colorscheme

My question from above:
Is there a chanc for german language?
I have german mix files, but they don't work.

Stefan

[Sleipnir]

The "Bad indent in miniyaml" error is caused by a corrupted settings file. Delete ~/OpenRA/settings.yaml and try again (it will be regenerated by the game with the default values).

We have no plans to support languages other than english at this time. The game engine will need a lot of low level changes to support localization properly, and we can't justify the maintenance burden of supporting N different languages when we are still changing large parts of the game ui regularly. Once the game is stable, we may look at supporting them then.

[Stefan-Maverick]

Thanks to you,
the problem on the laptop was the setting in settings.yaml.
I edited this with notepad and used the tabulator, now its using the cg renderer.
But still not working. (Unhandled Exception: System.InvalidOperationException: No valid techniques)
So, i can only play on pc.
