Egoboo Community Forum

I compiled the current SVN (1510) on Linux (Suse 11.3/64bit) to get around the movement problem in 2.8.1 already reported
http://egoboo.sourceforge.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1177

For this I had to made some adjustments to get the code compiled:

- strupr() is missing in Linux.
For strlwr() there is already an implementation in game.c, but it does not follow the man-page:

The current code returns an integer and will make some problems if used like in wawalite_file.c
Can be changed to something like:


You get strupr() if you replace tolower with toupper .


- Function sys_popup in platform/sys_linux.c is somehow broken. I commented the body, as it was in 2.8.1.

- AStar_find_path and AStar_get_path are missing. I just included AStar.c in script_functins.c


Finally I didn't get Egoboo working yet - but I'm still optimistic.
I guess I have to fiddle with the resource files.

Does someone know if the original problem (move characters using keyboard on Linux) is fixed in the current SVN version?

Thanks for your input. I have applied your fixes to the svn.

I am not sure what causes the keyboard problem yet (could be a SDL issue?), but I have rewritten much of the input controller code since 2.8.1 - I might have fixed the problem. (I did replace those bool to float math operations)

I think it complained about AStar.c since it wasn't added to the makefile. I've added it now.

[edit]
By the way, I have implemented a new version of the message box that tries to use different solutions. I can't test if it works properly or if it compiles since I don't use linux.

New message box function for linux:

Thanks.

I still don't get the SVN version working.
It just exits when I select a module to start - also the mouse cursor is broken (showing a square only).

So finally I went back to 1.8.1 code and applied the suggested fix from the thread mentioned above. Basically in set_one_player_latch() I replaced

in the keyboard handling, into

which now works nicely.

OK. I had applied the exact same fix in the SVN.

I am not sure why you are having issues with the cursor or picking modules though, they work fine on windows. (is the cursor a complete white box btw?)

There already is a clear_2fvect() function in the beginning

"+= 1" and "-= 1", not "= 1" or "= -1"

Ah yes that is also the way it's already in the SVN. The code he posted was his own version of the fix.

very good.

Otherwise, the - control would always override the + control...

Well, you should not send the poor guy to left and right at the same time ...

Ok, agreed.


The mouse shows up as white box. Same size as cursor and fully functional.

In the meantime I found the place where game stops for me.
The error message is: "There are not enought :'s in mp_data/wawalite.txt"

I traced it down to read_wawalight_fog where it reads fog.bottom.
Here's the stack trace:

Your datafiles are out of date Egoboo reads a new format of wavalite.txt. The newest data files for Egoboo can be found also in the SVN. (branches/install)
