[ NGD Please Read ] Regnum Online Debian Package

Perfect, I'm downloading it right now... Aptitude kept the data files, so it was a pretty fast update.

It runs perfectly... Congrats! You made an awesome job. ^^

The only complaint was chmod, about the xeph:xeph group. I think it should be chown :P

Hi!

I'm looking at this closely, but i don't have time right now to test it completely. As the linux client mantainer, i love it :P

We'll keep in touch.

will try again BUT i noticed this

nVidia video cards
- nVidia GeForce Series
- Recommended: nVidia GeForce Series 6x00, 7x00, 8x00

ATI video cadrs
- ATI Radeon 7500
- Recommended: ATI Radeon Series 9500 or superior

mine is a nvidia 5200
i am goin to install eek a ati 9700 pro -its better supported for game but might be a pest to swap in my ubuntu box(if i have too ill back up and reinstall 8.10 witch is what i have now)or what do you use debian wise for gaming?

It would be nice to have a way to check for data changes and add them to a generic folder. I mean, each time the game get modified the script would check the changes and move them to /usr/share/regnum-online. Next time it would set up a symlink, but I don't know if it will work that way. It is ugly, I know...

I'll set up a chroot environment to test every dependency.

By any chance, did you include ia32-libs as a dependency in the amd64 package?


PS: It's 3am, I'm up since 8 am... If I say something that doesn't make sense, tell me and I'll check it out later.

yes .. ia32-libs are depended unless I had another lapse of brain activity.

Your suggestion is interesting but it carries some faults.. ownership being the main.. A norm user wouldnt have the rights to write to a system-wide path such as /opt or /usr/share so at 1st look it wouldnt be possible staying within Debian/Ubuntu standards -- but let me think on it for awhile

Thanks for your help

For Linux gaming NVIDIA atleast my preferred. .. some may have different opinions here and its a LONG diatribe on "why I think ATI sucks a dwarf" .. but suffice to say - In my opinion They do

Your NVIDIA 5200 should run RO with a decent framerate... you wont break any records but it shouldbe completely playable.

If you wish to try an ATI I suggest you DO NOT attempt to use an ATI card that is not supported by the official ATI drivers.. which means 9700 should be ok.

@ Articwolf -

After thinking about it I could include a script or add a command line option to /usr/bin/regnum-online that would prompt for sudo/gksudo build a update .tar.gz .

Best thing I guess would be to use the running users game path as the source.. build the bottle then sudo/gksudo into place and create a symlink. As well as a restore function to roll back to a old .tar.gz

This what you mean?

Exactly. You could copy/move the files to the user folder, allow the updater to change them and then move them again to /opt/regnum-online. Unfortunately, we still depend on sudo/gksudo/kdesu.

You would need to add them as dependencies.

Wouldn't chmod'ing the files to 0666 allow the users to modify the files without ownership problems?
