Egoboo?

I see from other forums that some people have egoboo working... for me, when I install with yum the avatar is missing, alternatively if I compile the latest version it runs at about 1 frame per second... Anyone else having trouble with this/know how to fix it? Thanks -Duncan.

Interesting, thanks for the link, unfortunately this build suffers from the same problem as the ones I built myself...
(they run fast enough with screen size set at 800x600 and anti-aliasing turned off in the .egoboo/setup.txt file),
...but there are no character models, only landscape and shadows...

 

I downloaded the latest stable from egoboo website.
Took a good guess at the libraries (ignore build-essentials)
you need to change some lines because of a separator in makefile.unix.
Basically change spaces in tab. Found instructions on egoboo website.
build as instructed in readme.
gets 1fps, so lower graphics settings and you are in business

 

Hiya, yes that's what you'd think isn't...
With the version where there characters are invisible you just need to set the screen to 800x600 and turn off anti-aliasing.
But with the version you've compiled, nothing I've tried will get the frame rate up...
..unless you discover different? (in which case, please can you post the setup.txt here?)
Thanks, -Duncan.

Many thanks for that, but it still doesn't work for me
Version 2.4.3 - installed from .sh - Invisible Characters
Version 2.7.7 - compiled from source - No HW accleleration
What version of egoboo are you running?

 

Version 2.6.5b
That is the one that is on the first page of egoobo.sourceforge.net
I chose latest stable.
2.7.7 would be development.

Note however that macles wrote that acer has made a build
http://macles.blogspot.com/
Obviously I did not try it.
OK, I saw you already knew that

 

Great - works fine - Many thanks
I attach the fixed game/Makefile for 2.6.5b for anyone who is also trying...
Best -Duncan.
