I have a problem with RtCW on Mandriva 2007.
I can launch the game, but when I try to play it crashes:
Code: Select all
LOADING... - game media done
LOADING... flamechunks
LOADING... clients
LOADING... WolfPlayer
UI menu load time = 5 milli seconds
Received signal 11, exiting...
Shutdown tty console
bash-3.1$
Any idea?
Please help the poor frenchie ...

Signal 11 usually means memory corruption of some kind (dereferencing NULL or out-of-bound pointers, for example). What version of RtCW are you running and where did you get it from?

I run wolf-linux-1.4-full.x86.run found on
http://returntocastlewolfenstein.filefront.com. The .pk3 files are from an original PC CD I've buyed.
But when I launch the game with the +set developer 1 option I have (last lines only):
Code: Select all

I'm downloading the 1.41 patch; perhaps ....

Open up /usr/local/bin/wolfsp. I suspect the path to the game data is not where it actually resides.

It seems that the path is OK; but where on your install are the models/players/*? in which .pk3 file? I don't see them on mine ... perhaps the file is corrupted, but RtCW is running on my other PC with Windows ...

Models, skins, etc. live in the PK3 files. Try md5sum'ing them and compare them to their Windows counterparts; if they differ, they're corrupted.
Have you tried installing the latest patch yet?

Yes, I tried the patch but still doesn't work.
I'll md5 the files; can you tell me wich one have the missing (to me) files?

You're right !
My sp_pack1.pk3 have not the right md5sum. The others .pk3 files are OK.
But even on the Windows install, which run great, the sum is not the same as in the INSTALL file ...
Maybe it's because it's an installation in french ?
Could anybody send me his sp_pak1.pk3 file?

Forget that !! I've restarted my PC, and now, the game is running without sig 11 .... but without sound too
Code: Select all
------- sound initialization -------
not initializing.
------------------------------------
Sound memory manager started
Sys_LoadDll(/usr/local/games/wolfenstein/main/uii386.so)... ok
Sys_LoadDll(ui) found **vmMain** at 0xb0587778
Sys_LoadDll(ui) succeeded!
I run Mandriva 2007 with esd but "esdctl stop" doesn't work:
Code: Select all
[root@localhost wolfenstein]# ps aux | grep esd
root 5751 0.0 0.1 3012 752 pts/1 R+ 21:13 0:00 grep --color esd
[root@localhost wolfenstein]# esdctl stop
[root@localhost wolfenstein]# ps aux | grep esd
root 5754 0.0 0.1 2088 620 ? Ss 21:13 0:00 /usr/bin/esd -terminate -nobeeps -as 2 -spawnfd 6
root 5756 0.0 0.1 3012 752 pts/1 R+ 21:13 0:00 grep --color esd
Any idea ?

ESD is a major pain in the behind[1]; you're probably better off using ALSA or OSS.
[1] I've seen the code. It's not bad per se - it's just something you don't want to actually use. Trust me on this...
Solved !!

It's OK now, here is the solution:
Code: Select all
echo "wolfsp.x86 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss
It was running only with the "+set s_initsound 0" option ... so without sound !!
after playing, I have to:
Code: Select all
echo "wolfsp.x86 0 0 disable" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss
That's all !!
