Watching Cutscenes

[recipi]

I recently compiled the latest version of Warzone 2100 from source on Linux, and while everything seems to have worked I am unable to view the cutscenes. Are they left out by default, and if so how would I get them?

You can get the cutscenes from this link: http://wz2100.net/download Download the sequences.wz file

I downloaded the file and extracted it such that the 'sequences' folder was inside the Warzone directory (the one containing dirs such as 'data' and 'doc') and compiled the game, but the cutscenes still do not play in the game.

Put the sequences.wz as it is into data/, that should work.

Placing the sequences.wz file as downloaded into 'data' didn't do anything to help, unfortunately, and now I have another problem: the game crashes without warning after a while.

Data directory. The same directory where base.wz and mp.wz is.

I'm fully aware of what you meant. I placed sequences.wz in data, uninstalled the game, ran make clean, and recompiled: still no cutscenes. To make things worse, the game now crashes without warning (though this may not be a new problem, but rather only showed itself now.

Odd.
What distro, and what gfx card do you have?

Also, post (attach) whatever.txt, after you run:
--debug all --debugfile whatever.txt

I'm currently running Ubuntu 8.10 (not my first choice of distro, but I need something that I can run relatively easily since at the moment consistent access to a functional computer is pretty essential) with an ATI X1200. Shortly after placing my last post, I installed the drivers from the ATI site, and things seem to be working now without a crash in site. Still no cutscenes, however. Here's the debug file, anyway (I tried to play the intro video twice, then exited using the quit option on the main menu).

You don't have sequences.wz in the correct directory...you need to stuff it in the data directory, ie, /usr/local/share/warzone2100/sequences.wz
