Savage on 8.04

[filip102]

I installed Savage on Ubuntu 8.04 but when I run it, it dont show anything and I can stop it only with killall savage or gnome-terminal.... or X restart :mad:... so how I must install it? Maybe it have something with graphic card, I have Radeon A9250 (I know, old :KS)

On Vista, I can run it..

First check if you have direct rendering, run:
glxinfo | grep "direct rendering"
Otherwise read: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver

Then try to install libtxc-dxtn0; see https://launchpad.net/~madman2k/+archive

Other solution is to install proprietary driver, but I am not shure if it is supported by your card. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI

Ubuntu 8.10? Blame yourself if something doesn't work then

[filip102]

Sorry... I instaled it now... I mean 8.04 :lolflag:

[Tux0r]

:lolflag: ok! I get it

[eragon100]

Well it's working perfectly for me on 8.04

Then again I have:

Intel core 2 duo e6300 @ 1.86 Ghz

1 GB of RAM

512 MB GeForce 7 7500 LE video card

So nothing to spectucalar, but way better than your video card :lolflag:

Anyway, I don't know how to solve it :(

You could try running the windows version under wine, it seems to run great there :)

Okay - Ubuntu noob here in need of (and grateful for) help getting this to run. I followed the instructions here (http://www.newerth.com/wiki/index.php/S1_Installing) which are:

1. Download THIS file which contains the standalone Savage package and extract it to a suitable location.

2. Download THIS file which contains the SFE* patch and extract it over the files you extracted in part 1.

3. After installing the above file start savage with the script "./Savage"

4. For the manual to savage download THIS file.


SO I extracted the first tar.gz and then I extracted the second tar.gz so that its contents replaced some files from the first file. Now I don't understand what it means by script "./Savage". I've tried cd-ing to the dir where it all is and typing that into the terminal, I've tried clicking a file called savage.sh, I even looked at that file in a text editor and saw something about changing a line so it pointed to the directory where a .bin file was and I did that but all the things I've tried haven't worked. Am I missing a step? When it says in step 3 "After installing the above..." I've assumed that downloading and extracting is the installation or is there more to it than that? Or am I just doing the script ./Savage bit wrong?

Ta in advance for...

Here's a 64-bit guide: http://gaming.gwos.org/doku.php/guides:64bit:savage_1

If you're using 32-bit, ignore
sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade
sudo aptitude install ia32-libs

there is a problem with incompatible libpng bundled with the patch. to get Savage to run on Hardy, I had to get and old libpng version from here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/i386/libpng12-0/download and unpack the libraries (.so files) into savage/libs folder.

[guildofghostwriters]

Nice one ta very much - those two steps combined did the trick.

[filip102]

Lol... I run it but I have old graphic card... so i must upgrade.. bt thx 4help :guitar:

Found the solution, all you have to do is get Savage rid of SDL library. I went to Savages "libs" folder and deleted the SDL lib file, which I don't remember the name but it's pretty obvious.

I am using Ubuntu 8.04.1 32bit and this method does not work for me. I still get the error:- "PNG header and library versions do not match". This is after downloading the linked file above and extracting the .so files in the correct place.

Any advice? I really do like this game and play it every day in Windows. I would really like it to work in Ubuntu again. Works fine for me in Sidux.

I think you might need to set a variable before launching the game, so that it uses the copied libraries
