 |
|
Hello,
after emerging Return to Castle Wolfenstein, the Multiplayer didn't work correctly.
I've done some investigation.
1) Extract the installer from original Linux CD: wolf-linux-1.4-goty.x86.run --target rtcw-1.4
2) Check the multiplayer version by this command:
| Code: | $ strings rtcw-1.4/main/ui.mp.i386.so | grep MP
BG_WeaponInWolfMP
WOLF MP
MP 40
Wolf 1.4-MP
LEGS_JUMPB
LEGS_JUMP
MP40
EV_EMPTYCLIP
EV_JUMP
EV_JUMP_PAD |
The MP version is 1.4
3) Extract the update installer: wolf-linux-1.41-3.x86.run --target rtcw-1.41
4) Check the multiplayer version:
| Code: | $ strings rtcw-1.41/main/ui.mp.i386.so | grep MP
BG_WeaponInWolfMP
LEGS_JUMPB
LEGS_JUMP
MP40
EV_EMPTYCLIP
EV_JUMP
EV_JUMP_PAD
WOLF MP
MP 40
Wolf 1.33-MP |
The MP version is 1.33
As you can see, wolf-linux-1.41 actually downgrades the MP version - that result into fu**ed menus in multiplayer.
The MP version in original Linux installer (wolf-linux-1.4-goty.x86.run) is higher.
Can anyone check this and/or make emerge workaround this?
UPDATE: Punkbuster requires WolfMP version 1.41. Where can I get it if 1.41 installer installs 1.33 library? |

Hi.
I don't use rtcw, but I've just looked at the ebuild and saw that
| Code: |
atlantida linux # less /usr/portage/games-fps/rtcw/rtcw-1.41-r2.ebuild
DESCRIPTION="Return to Castle Wolfenstein - Long awaited sequel to Wolfenstein 3D"
HOMEPAGE="http://games.activision.com/games/wolfenstein/"
SRC_URI="mirror://3dgamers/pub/3dgamers/games/returnwolfenstein/Missions/wolf-linux-goty-maps.x86.ru
n
mirror://3dgamers/pub/3dgamers/games/returnwolfenstein/wolf-linux-${PV}-3.x86.run" |
the files that give you the error are the ones that emerge is instructed to get. Either the ebuild maintainers made a misteak with the version of the update or the file in the mirror is borked. You could look at https://bugs.gentoo.org and see if someone opened a bug on this. If no one did, you could do it - that's the best way to call the ebuild maintainers attention.

MP 1.33 is (as some guy from ID says) the correct lib version for 1.41 patch 
But the main source of problems was that I also copied file mp_pak5.pk3 from the Windows CD.
mp_pak5.pk3 was the problem... |
