bookmarc posted this in the new game announcement thread, but we aren't aloud to chat there so I decided to make a new topic, anyway here's what I wanted to say:

HOLY S**T THAT WAS FAST!

Anyone else having troubles getting these to compile from CVS?

Well, I did using GCC 3.2.2. But when I switched to GCC 2.95 it compiled fine.

The game runs, gfx are all ok etc, but I do not get any sound at all. The same thing as happened to me for the ROTT port. Does icculus use some alternative sdl_sound lib or something?
I would really like to have sound with my game, and the icculus duke3d site says it should work

I tried to compile it with gcc 3.2.2 and that didn't work. When I removed the -ansi and -pedantic options and changed -Werror to -Wall in the makefile it compiled (with a lot of warnings, but no errors)
Unfortunately I can't try running it since I don't have the game CD here. I'll try later with an original duke3D CD but I don't have the atomic edition so I don't think it's gonna work.

Nope it doesn't. I tried it first with the Duke3D 1.3D files but they don't work, you really need 1.5.

yes same error on my side ....

MadEgg · l33t Joined: 06 Jun 2002 Posts: 678 Location: Netherlands

Yes, that's the one. Using gcc 2.95 solves it.

Yes, that's the error I got and with the changes to the Makefile I mentioned earlier it compiles fine without the need to use gcc-2.95 (Now I just need to find an atomic edition to see if it actually runs)

Hmm, I get the same error. How do I emerge an older gcc for the compile and then return to my present gcc? I dont want to switch to the older gcc for everything when all I'll need it for is this one proggie. Any suggestions/instructions would be appreciated.

Thanks for the time and info.

Made the changes suggested to the build engine Makefile and I was able to compile the build engine and then the duke3d binary. Unfortunately, I havent yet been able to get the game to run. For some reason, it locks up my system and when I switch to another desktop to kill the process, KDE crashes as well leaving me setting at a command prompt. I may end up having to wait for a more stable build, methinks.

I don't have problems with those.

But duke talks with a messed up voice and I don't hear any music at all... midi playing not working somewhere

Well, using tonights code from cvs I can compile the binaries
without modifying the Makefile. Problem is, I still cant get the
game to play!! Here is the error msg I get:

MadEgg · l33t Joined: 06 Jun 2002 Posts: 678 Location: Netherlands

If had that message as well, it turned out I was using the wrong duke3d.grp. You should really only try to use the duke3d.grp from Atomic duke nukem 3d v1.5(so not 1.4).
There's something about the case of the mapnames in the other .grp files I guess but I'm not sure.

For some reason Duke kind of works with root user only if I don't copy the supplied .con files, and doesn't work at all if I do.

I'd say give them one more month to get it stable and a gl port will come shortly also. I'd say the magnitude of this release is greater than that of Doom, since ID has been linux-minded for a long time. We may get 3d realms on our side.

I really hope companies will realise how great commercial software is when it is open-source. I think the deal is:
- you get the money
- we get to play with it any way we want and you benefit from that too and save some money and in turn make your next product cheaper since after-release maintainance will be done by volunteers

This is the new model of survival for software companies. They still need to learn to appreciate it.

OK now whenever I try to run duke3d, i get an SDL Parachute error and it segfaults. Any ideas on whats wrong? - Fixed.

Now I think it hanges at Loading Palettes part, unless it just takes an extremely long time...

The cvs version runs well on my PC except a couple of issues (I can't load my savegames anymore when launching it again...) and some random segfault while playing (well it happened once).

But this game is still so much funnier than some hype games...
