Saved games wont load, they crash Warzone

[Shaniah]

Hiya, I just got warzone yesterday, been trying it out, nice game.  Anyway,  I have a linux machine and my friend said to use Adept manager to get the game.  So I do that, The one that was downloaded appears to be the latest one, and its great. One problem, I save the game then I quit the game to go do something else, I came back on and went to start that saved game before,  It appears to be loading it, then the screen goes black, Then I am back at my desktop only with everything like 4 times the size, as if all my icons became huge... Or the screen size was made bigger.  Any ideas of what I can do to fix this?

That's normal (lol)
The synaptic/Adept Warzone Package is old and broken.
Just download the .deb file in the download section for the 2.10 Stable relase
Or you can compile the source of the Devloppement realse

Why does everyone tell people to compile the source. Some people would have no idea what the hell that means or where to begin.  ???

On linux, that pretty easy

You open a console in the folder of the source

Code: Select all

cd the/path/to/the/folder/of/the/source

Then you type these commands

Code: Select all

autoconf
./configure
make
sudo make install

Do as qwerty says, it should be fixed in the latest trunk build.

On linux, that pretty easy

ok, I will try it asap. folder of the source, which one am I looking for? I mean, what am I looking for, which folder.  I dont think I am following what you are saying very well.

That is because I forgot to say do this first:
svn co svn://svn.gna.org/svn/warzone/trunk warzone
The you cd to warzone, and begin the build process.

is that another thing I have to download?

[qwerty800]

Usually, you need to.
Such as flex or GLC
Just download from the adept/synaptic pakage manager (you need *-dev packages too) or use google

Always remember these commands:

Code: Select all

autoconf
./configure
make
sudo make install

;D

Hmmm...
I can't believe nobody has directed Shaniah it take a look at the Compile Guide in the wiki yet...

While the Linux Compile Guide is geared towards Ubuntu, and the QuesoGLC compile guide looks to be a strange mix-match of Debian base and Ubuntu, they can be followed and if you have at least some familiarity with your linux distro you should be able to adapt the instructions to your needs
