Re: Cant start Echelon Book I :( undefined subroutine

Of course you can package your own deb file. RPMs and DEB files can be installed without being in a package manager with the tool dpkg and rpm. This way it can be tracked by the package manager and set various permissions (in gentoo our games packages are all set so you must be in the 'games' group ...

Re: Windows saves do not work on Linux

You could try running strace, that might give some clue as to what system call is causing the error. strace -o ~/output.txt ./eschalon_book_1 (in the game directory).

Re: Bought it as promised =), anyone else?

I bought it because I wanted to support the developer, hopefully in the future we will see more games for linux. :) Something that in years to come might make linux more of a gaming platform than it currently is. A lot of companies work on the basis of how much money they will make by supporting a ...

Re: Flickering on main menu, character creation and dungeon

The video was encoded in mencoder and works perfectly in windows VLC/Media Player Classic and on linux in VLC and MPlayer. You should consider upgrading to leopard, apple isn't releasing any updates for 10.3.X. In the mean time try VLC.

Busting locked objects with spells not causing agro npcs

It would seem guards and people have no problem whatsoever when you blast down their door/break open their chests and cupboards with a flame dart, but as soon as you lockpick or smash it with your weapon they do.

Is this a bug?

Re: Flickering on main menu, character creation and dungeon

I've reuploaded the video as MPEG4 now, and used a better camera (had used my phone but now I've used a proper digital camera).

To answer your question it is an LCD as it's a notebook computer :P

Re: Flickering on main menu, character creation and dungeon

This is not related to refresh rate. It's set to the default. Also It's only particular text and entities within the dungeon that disappear.

Re: appstub.linux signal handler 11

If you can reproduce the problem try installing strace and finding out what systemcall is being called before this error occurs.

strace -o ~/output.txt ./eschalon_book_1 (in the game directory).

I found when creating a ebuild install script for this game I had the permissions of eschalon.cfg being ...

Flickering on main menu, character creation and dungeon

Hi,

Using version 1.04 of the Linux version, I've discovered an annoying flickering (mpeg4) (xvid version) bug in the main menu, character creation and when you enter a dungeon. (It's XviD two-pass so you will need the XviD codec or VLC or something). After entering the game it seems to be fine, it ...
