For example, people, as you mentioned, emerge openoffice-bin because they don't want to wait for hours while source is compiling. And here I have the situation that 190 MB of source code compiles in few seconds? What kind of source code is that  ? Precompiled source code  ? |

The 190 mb contains game data, not just source code.
The source code isn't more than a few megs. |

| Hmm, could be the resolution you are setting(1600x1200). You could try manually editing the config.cfg file setting the glmode cvar to 4 I think, to test if that is it. Or is this happening with all resolutions? |

| I have edited the .config mode manually and that works great, although without the menu its a little tricky to find out whats causing slow downs in various points of play. |

| The two things that can usually speed up the game are disabling shaders and shadows - these are both in the "Options" menu, and they don't require a vid restart. |

Game updated to version 6.02
http://cor.planetquake.gamespy.com/codered/files/aa2k7-update12162006-x86.zip
Full version: http://cor.planetquake.gamespy.com/codered/files/alienarena2007-linux12162006-x86.zip
I have forgone the old GTK installer and opted for it to be in .zip format, which while slightly larger, is more compatible with all platforms, and this should cut down on the number of people having problems installing(especially with 64bit systems). Also, I have been unable to contact Ravage(who in the past has created the installer) for over three weeks now. Most people have been requesting it to be in .zip, so alas, that is what it is now.
Here is the complete changelog(it's extensive to say the least):
Changes between 6.0 and 6.02
1. Five button mouse support.
2. Linux sound fixes.
3. Spectator bug fix.
4. Improved team joining mode.
5. Killing spree notifications.
6. Fraglimit countdown.
7. Warmup period - cvar is "warmuptime", default is 15 seconds
8. Added sv_custombots cvar. Setting this to "1" would allow you to have all your maps load a custom bot file called "custom1.tmp". Setting it to "2" would load "custom2.tmp" and so on. This allows for multiple servers using different bot files. This also now eliminates all the nasty copying of bot tmp files all over the place.
9. Added splash damage to blaster primary fire(also, and more importantly, this effects beamgun secondary fire). The damage is minimal, but the boost is pretty signifigant. This will allow some amazing tricks with the beamgun, and in excessive, the blaster.
10. Extended the countdown to begin immediately during the warmup phase so that people aren't confused as to if the match has started or not.
11. Changed rocket speed! This went from the 650 ups of Quake 2 to the 900 ups of Quake 3!
12. Fixed a minor bug with cl_noskins
13. Moved revision to 6.02, added Esteel to the credits list.
14. Added Joust mode - cvar is sv_joustmode
15. Vastly improved bot AI - too much to explain here.
16. Enormous code optimizations for the client. Framerates should improve quite a bit for everyone.
17. Added real time lighting on models. In your options, you'll see an option for it. It's off by default. Warning - your framerates *will* take about a 25-30% hit running this.
18. Fixed the particle beam setting bug.
19. Replaced the old q2 style fonts.
20. Added moveable transparent brushes.
21. Changed the team join options - now, <fire> auto selects the team, based on which has the fewest players, <crouch> selects red, and <jump> selects blue.
22. Changed the defaults for Bloom to be more sane.
23. Added dm-obisidian2, plus a few new textures.
24. Added option in menu to start dedicated servers.
25. Fixed long standing bugs with chaingun animations(smooth now). Note, this will only look totally right on 6.02 servers.
26. Added security fixes to thwart speed hackers.
27. When map resets after warmup, all map items now reset too.
28. Increased power of disruptor from 35 to 50 hit points.
29. Added support for secondary master server.
30. Added automatic updating in Galaxy. This will update both the server and |

yyyymmdd format causes the least confusion: 20061216 
yyyymmdd is also the only date format that makes sense for version control, since it's in numerical order, so updates are numerically larger. |

Ah, makes sense - I'll remember that next release. |

It looks like you guys got compiling from source with GCC 4.1 under control. I'll give it a try!
Stopped playing AA for a while, time to revisit  |

The game starts here but if I try to change resolution it crashes (sig11).
How can I manually set the correct resolution in config.cfg file?

Ok I solved changing gl_mode in the config file, but every time I use "apply changes" in the video menu the game crashes

| Yes, I've confirmed that bug does occur on some systems, though it's unclear why. One way around it, without shutting the game down and restarting is, just in the console manually setting the mode (set gl_mode 1, etc), then typing "vid_restart". |

Compiles fine (I used the non-bin version) and starts up fine, but that's where is ceases to function properly. The mouse is mirrored (left is right, right is left), when I apply changes to video options it goes into console mode(the changes take, but I have to restart), and when I try to start an actual game it crashes:

Umm.... yeah. That's kind of like handing an infant a calculator and a tax return, then telling them to give it a shot. Don't let the "Guru" under my username fool you. I'm still learning and my programming skills are pathetic. This patch I'm assuming needs to get unpacked into the work directory replacing the same files from the original source. After looking at the ebuild for about an hour and trying to put my extremely limited ebuild writing skills to work I decided I could probably figure it out eventually, but I don't really want to play the game that bad. Maybe in the future I'll go back and and try to modify the ebuild, but I don't have time for it right now. |

| All you need to do is drop that .zip into your main Alien Arena dir, unzip it and it will put everything where it needs to go and just recompile the binaries. |

Yeah, I understand what needs to be done, but I want to do it through portage (the Gentoo way). Anyway I got it to work (sort of). I modified the ebuild as such:

[SOLVED]The problem is that I don't know how to make the unpack function extract into a different directory than ${WORKDIR} (namely ${WORKDIR}/alienarena2007) and the "patch" has a different directory structure than the original source. My soultion was to modify the "patch" archive to have the same directory structure as the original source (i.e. alienarena2007/source/linux/<foo.c> instead of source/linux/<foo.c>), drop it into my distfiles folder, then re-digest the ebuild. So this ebuild won't work for anyone else unless they too modify the archive accordingly.[SOLVED - above ebuild works now]
Anyway the game starts correctly now and I can "play" it, but the mouse is still fucked up.

| unpack will unpack into the current directory, so just use cd first if you want to change the directory. |
