Help with Mission Alpha 07 - cannot pass!

[torsten]

All,

I'm unable to get through mission alpha 07. This is the one where I establish a forward base and not allow any enemies to get to the lower level. I defend against multiple waves of enemies transported in.

Okay, I did it.

But every time at the end of the mission it tells me "Objective Failed." How do I get through this?

Version:
Warzone 2100 - Version TRUNK r3595 - Built Feb 13 2008

Running on Kubuntu Linux.

Thanks,
Torsten

You need to build a specific list of structures on the plateau — I can't remember exactly what these are — but a factory, research centre, repair facility and some defences has always worked for me.

Furthermore, I feel it is my duty as an upstanding citizen to inform you that, in most jurisdictions it is illegal to steal from museums (or from anywhere else for that matter). I must therefore ask that you return r3595 of Warzone from the museum which you stole it from. It is a relic.

Regards, Freddie.

If I were you, I would compile trunk from gna, and download the sequences, and then add the patch http://developer.wz2100.net/ticket/64 ,
Then you will get a better idea what you to do. ... You can also beta test the full campaign for us!

It is a bargin!

And don't forget, to remove r3595 NOW. Mummy wants it back.

I uninstalled the old Warzone 2100.
I downloaded: warzone2100-2.1_beta4
I unpacked the videos into data/base/sequences/*ogg
I applied the patch: FMV5h.patch
It did not apply cleanly.

Followed last post advice here:
viewtopic.php?f=19&t=1970&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=15

Updated the stated files replacing '== 33' to '>= 33'.

It compiled, but it is unplayably slow. It's no longer picking up my nvidia hardware acceleration.

How do I enable hardware acceleration?

Thanks,
Torsten

[torsten]

I installed some mesa library and 3D hardware acceleration is working again.
I ran the game and noted a lot of flickering when the game was loading (stripes running across the screen).
Videos don't seem to be working.
I included the patch from http://developer.wz2100.net/ticket/64, FMV5h.patch.
It didn't apply cleanly again.
I attempted to compile.

I started manually patching the file <b>intelmap.c</b>, but it was very long and tiresome.

To which codebase does the FMV5h.patch cleanly apply? Do I need to check out SVN repository?

Thanks,
Torsten

[EvilGuru]

You will need to apply to patch to a recent, preferably, trunk (SVN head) copy of Warzone.

Regards, Freddie.

[Buginator]

I just tested the *h.patch, and found a slight issue, so redownload that patch again. (Yeah, I know I should have bumped the version, but oh well. )

You need svn trunk version (svn co http://svn.gna.org/svn/warzone/trunk), then in the trunk directory just do a patch -p0 <patchname
and then ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make, and it should compile without issue, assuming autoconf don't give you errors about missing libs.
