[howto] If the mumble overlay isn't working... - Page 2

To use the overlay successfully on linux, you need to start mumble first, using mumble11x, then start regnum using the overlay command:

Code:

mumble-overlay /path/to/regnum/.rolauncher

i do, everything works perfectly until the actual game starts (not rolauncher). the NGD intro plays (the one with the lil blue dude), then the game crashes.

Reference link for overlay not working with 1.1.x servers on 1.2.2 client. Cheers.

Like I say, do not use the "compatibility client" in 1.2.2, it doesn't work. Instead, if you know you are connecting to a 1.1 server, use the mumble11x binary that comes with 1.2.2. Its a completely seperate program, a version of the 1.1 client in its original form. The mumble-overlay does work with that.

The mumble11x binary is the compatibility client. The overlay, FOR WHICH THERE IS NO SEPARATE BINARY, does not support it, as the IPC has changed too drastically. It does not work. This is not open to debate.

Yes, this is true. With the mumble11x binary there is no overlay of course.

ARA, so when I'm finished compiling the 1.2.2 client, there isn't supposed to be a mumble-overlay binary?

I went into the <src>/overlay and did a qmake on overlay.pro to generate the Makefile. When I try to make, it wants a compiler fxc?? WTF is that?

No there still should be a mumble-overlay binary, it just won't work with the 1.1.x client anymore.

Now I'm really confused. I don't have anyone else's problems, but I still can't get mumble-overlay to work.

I'm not sure what the server version is but it's not 1.1. My 1.1 client doesn't connect only my 1.2.3 client, so that is not the issue.

I'm using Gnome3 on Ubuntu 11.04. Mumble audio works just fine and Regnum works just fine. The only thing not working is overlay.

I've started the command mumble-overlay ./rolauncher (in regnum folder) and the only warnings have to do with alsa and jack. From the terminal everything should be working perfectly but I don't see the overlay.

And yes I tried the shm thing. Nothing.
