Urban Terror

[hongleong]

Am using Hardy 8.04. Downloaded UrT 4.1.

The graphics is ok but there is no sound. The UrT log says:

------ Initializing Sound ------
Initializing SDL audio driver...
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:874:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
SDL audio driver is "(UNKNOWN)".
SDL_OpenAudio() failed: No available audio device
Sound initialization failed.
--------------------------------

Amarok and VLC are all churning out sound alright.

Any idea what could be the cause? Thanks...

I found a workaround solution from twright in another thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...t=urban+terror

From the menu, goto System > Preferences > Sound. For 'Sound Events::Sound playback', change it from 'Autodetect' to 'ALSA - Advanced Linux Sound Architecture'. Restart the computer.

This works for me. :)

Just thought I'd say I've been playing for about 3 months now on a x64 Hardy Ubuntu and it worked straight out of the box and I JUST CAN'T STOP PLAYING (and I really should be doing much more important things)

Shoot you later.

Downloaded it and installed.
It worked fine for about 2 mins (I checked I could start it) so I then tried to tweak the graphics etc.

Anyway, I lost mouse and general functionality.

I've deleted the original install. There have been several reboots of the machine since then (dual boot and about a week of normal use).

After reinstalling, I've made the ioUrbanTerror.i386 file executable.

The game starts, but I can't change any of the setup options, and I still have no mouse.

It feels like there's some residual setup stuff buggering the install - is there some sort of purge to make sure??

Any help appreciated, I'd really like to get this up & going.

There should be no problem, all you have to do is unzip it

I have been playing this for about 3 months and its one of the most addicting games ever.

I also have a clan that I founded:

I'm having the EXACT same problem. The game opens, sound, gfx are all alright (though somewhere in between fullscreen and windowed), and there is no mouse. Any thoughts are appreciated. x64 Hardy.

I have played UT for a few days now.

Last weekend I played with my cousing on a server from my home.

We have managed to play on same teams from my local network/isp on a nearby server on the internet. It was really fun.

Now I am at his house with our computers, but it seens that we can't do this at his house. We can play in DIFFERENT servers simultaneously but not on the SAME one like we did from my house...

I think it's a router/modem/isp glitch...

I have placed one computer on the DMZ and the other on port forwarding... disabled automatic port forwarding on the adsl modem and the router.... but everytime we trie to connect on the same server one gets disconected.... any clues??? I have tried everything I know... and I am starting to think its a problem with the modem/router.....

I have a DSL-500B modem (D-Link) and a Linksys wrt54g router...

Any idea/help is apreciated.

Thanks!

its simple on one of the PC you need to change your net_port too 2961

so while the game is launch drop down the console by press the ~ key that is below ESC and type this.


Code:



/seta net_port "2961"



The reason this occor is that you both use the same medium to connect to the internet so both your machines are giving the same External IP address so the server cannot differ the 2 connection and it drops one. setting one to use a different ports allows the server to recognise two different connections being made

To those of you who lose your mouse after launching UT: Make sure that you turn off Compiz before running it. I use Alt+F2 to run metacity --replace before launching UT and compiz --replace after I'm done. Works like a charm.

Just a little bump.

I currently have Ultimate Edition 2.0 Gamers installed, which has Urban terror pre-installed.

But is Urban Terror In the ubuntu repositories, or is that exclusively the case in Ultimate Edition?

Cheers,
