 Posted: Mon Nov 14, 2005 7:29 pm Post subject: Using version 5 engine with point2play? |
 |
|
Ok, it sounds like there's still a fair bit of confusion surrounding the new cedega release and how it works - understandable. I definitely don't want to jump off the bridge just yet, especially if it means reinstalling games. I don't have a clue where half my cds are. I just want to see if some bugs in my games have cleared up in 5.
With that in mind, I've been trying to use the "Check for Updates"/"Download Previous Cedega Version" functionality of Point2Play 2.0.3 to grab the 5.0 engine. It shows up in the list of available engines, but when the download completes I get the error "Error extracting Cedega Version 5.0 from the download archive - either you ran out of disk space or the file was somehow corrupted during download." I've got plenty of free space and I've tried it several times, so I don't think either possibility applies. I'm guessing it's because 5.0 is using the "cpkg" format instead of "tar.gz" like the rest, and this is never going to work. Which wouldn't surprise me, although it's odd it even shows up as an option for me to try.
Is there a way to extract this cpkg file and put it into a .tar.gz? I'm probably stretching, but it seems like the engine itself should still be usable and it's just the packaging restrictions that are giving me a hard time.
Barring that, can someone point me to gentoo-specific instructions on how to perform this upgrade? I'm hoping there's a way to do it that doesn't involve wiping my previous cedega stuff and doing an install from scratch. Do I unemerge point2play before emerging the newest cedega, and if I do so will it detect my old game installations and auto-import them?
Sorry if I'm rehashing something that's already been covered - I've read the release notes and this thread, but I'm at work and don't have time to dig further. Thanks in advance to anyone with tips.

cpkg is just a tar file, containing 2 files (in case of cedega-engine-5.0-1.i386.cpkg):
cedega_5.0-1.i386.p2p.tgz <-- the tar.gz you are probably looking for
manifest <-- just a text file with version info and other stuff

Thanks, that gives me some direction. Any idea where I can put that tgz so that Point2Play will pick it up? I don't see any options for installing a local engine.

PsychoMike: P2P is outdated. You cannot use that cpkg in it. It was replaced by cedega. They in fact merged P2P into cedega. Now "cedega" start the interface, and "cedega game.exe" can be use as command line.
You need to uninstall point2play, and instead emerge new cedega. First start wizard will move your game settings to new cedega and - unless problems - you can start playing right away as before (will used previous engines version installed 4.4.3).
| Code: |
emerge -C point2play
emerge cedega -av |
just start cedega and follow the wizard for import of games.
In the NEW cedega, you can use the update fucntion to download the new cedega-engines-5.0.
EDIT: you will need to download manually the small-cedega-5.0.1.tgz from transgaming and put in your distfiles folder as usual.

My cedega.rc file was messed up during the import of .Point2Playrc and I need the correct path to the Cedega binary to be able to play at all. I changed the version to 5.0 and 50f and I changed the Cedega path to /usr/bin/cedega which I guess only is a link to P2P. Here is the relevant part of the config:
| Quote: |
[winex]
default=5.0
<50f>5.0=/usr/bin/cedega
|
I would be thankful if anyone cares to take a look at their .cedegarc file.

metsjeesus: read 2 posts above... cedega 5 is not meant to run in P2P...
RaZor:this is my winex section... xxxx my login name
| Code: |
[winex]
default=5.0
<401f>4.3=/home/xxxx/.cedega/.winex_ver/winex-4.3
<401f>4.4=/home/xxxx/.cedega/.winex_ver/winex-4.4
<401f>5.0=/home/xxxx/.cedega/.winex_ver/winex-5.0
<401f>4.2.1=/home/xxxx/.cedega/.winex_ver/winex-4.2.1
<401f>4.4.1=/home/xxxx/.cedega/.winex_ver/winex-4.4.1
<401f>4.4.3=/home/xxxx/.cedega/.winex_ver/winex-4.4.3
<401f>4.2forsteam=/home/xxxx/.cedega/.winex_ver/winex-4.2forsteam
|
This point to winex version, NOT to cedega binary. Also code in bracket is not version ... always <401f>

Thanks. This line, <401f>5.0=/home/xxxx/.cedega/.winex_ver/winex-5.0 is the same line that stood in the .cedegarc file when everything migrated to the new files. Unfortunately the .winex_ver dir is empty so that link doesn't work. I'm gonna try reinstalling it and see what happens. BTW, I've changed the <XXXX> bracket before without a problem.

You did install the new cedega-engines (winex) via cedega menu, right ?
winex-5.0 is not part of the cedega package. After emerging cedega, you still need to go to the menu "Transgaming" -> "Check for updates" to install the latest winex. If you did already, you can just check the box to force re-install.

| I was a point2play kind of guy but the release of cedega 5.01 seems to have at least tried to fix the problem people were having with the command line support with Cedega 5. What do you command line people say? Is it back to what you guys were used to? (I'm just curious to see if it works the same or not) |

Yeah, I realised that. I was just hoping there was a way to test the game improvement on my machine and see if it was worth it first. Adding a new cedega engine is pretty trivial, but if I uninstall Point2Play and then have a problem getting Cedega 5 to work, I can't just jump back down to the previous version. At the very least I'd have to reinstall Point2Play (assuming the new version didn't mess up its files somehow).
Anyway, thanks for the advice. I'll probably wait until Friday to try it so I'll have all weekend to fix it if necessary.

You can backup your ~/.transgaming directory before installing cedega 5 (yes, it will take lots of space).

Seems there is something wrong with your configs, as Point2Play_ref.default_winex returns null. Try setting default cedega version in the cedega config (and make sure at least 1 engine is installed).

Have you installed any engine?
Run cedega, select Transgaming -> Check for Updates and install some engines.

Did you try both of the solutions? I mean specially the "#rm /tmp/manifest" as root. That one worked for me.
