Barony test thread

@kas1e

I will try it tomorrow an get back to you. Game is really cool.

@kas1e
I deleted "models.cache" and started the game again without any problems. I dont know why it didnt work first time.

@joeled
You mean that now there was counting (from 0 till 696) after you delete models.cache ?

@kas1e
Yes, now the counting started rightaway after deleting the cache.

@joeled
Aha thanks.

And you not os4 beta-tester ? You just have plain amigaos fe update 1 for x5000, right ?

@kas1e

1. Bought the original game PC on GOG.
2. Downloaded Barony_OS4 from os4depot.
3. Unpacked Barony_OS4 to RAM:
4. I copied the date from GOG to Barony_OS4 RAM:
(books, images, Items, maps, models, music, sound)
5. Run from RAM: Barony_OS4 ... game created a cache file and ... Barony_OS4 it starts without any problems ... :)


PS.
Barony_OS4 does NOT WORK with SFS v 1.293, I can run only with RAM:

After copying Barons_OS4 from RAM: to HDD: ... I get a failure:

@amig_os
On what hardware you test it ? Also did you use beta or public os ?

@kas1e
Thank you for your reply.
I use the Blessed edition and use the land files from the archive on OS4Depot. I also tried to change my locale to English and rebuild the models.cache, by removing it first and run again the game.
My system is a beta one and I bought the game from Hmble Bundle, using the linux version of the files.

When I run the game and I get the first item, the book on the table, it gives a wrong name and then I get the following crash. If I ignore it, the game continues just fine.


By checking the lang/en.txt file, the message that makes it crash must be a compination of the following lines


As you can see the name of the item is not included. So it might be given with wrong characters by the engine itself. I would like to mention that this doesn't happen with all the items.

@Walkero
I remember having this kind of issue when use wrong datafiles. I will check the sizes of my datafiles, and bring it here, so we can compare

And by the way, tell plz what version of newlib.library you use

@kas1e
I use OS4 beta. AmigaOne X1000. Radeon R9 280x.

@kas1e
newlib.library 53.49

@walkero
There is my data sizes of dirs (size get via dopus4 "getsize" button):

books: 52.626
images: 2.214.891
items: 715.247
lang: 159.535
maps: 1.377.474
models: 2.089.023
music: 180.341.137
sound: 25.547.097

Check plz carefull if it the same for you, and if not, which one are different.

@kas1e
I think I found a solution. The problem accured when I used the Linux version of the files. The Linux versionis 64bit, but I am not sure if that's the problem.

I just tried with Windows 32bit version of the files and they seem to work just fine. I will play a little bit more with the game to see if there are other issues.

@walkero
Data files should be the same for 32 and 64 bits, i think or you mess (still) with lang files, or there was some forgotten files copied, or just wrong ones.

For sake of interest you can extract both of them and compare by sizes. If they different then that it, just different versions.

But goot to know it is work for you.

Now i need to understand why it works on beta setups (and seems on x5k public ones), and didn't on other ones.

@Spectre

Tested from the public aos4 few update1 released with x5k , where i only copy ogles2.library v1.22 , warp3dnova.library 1.58, and radeonHD3.6. Installed Barony to NGFS parition.

The version of libs we have on public x5k release are:

dos.library 53.158
newlib.library 53.36
ngfs 54.34

So, newlib is ahead of your version on 6 revisions..

I may try to downgrade newlib.library to 53.30 for tests (dunno if it will works on x5k through)..

@Spectre
Damn, downgrade to newlib.library 53.30 didn't help: it still works on x5k fe1 :(

Some more news: its confirmed that crashed on sfs, but not on ngfs. Will try to install sfs for tests

@kas1e

Tested:

AmigaOne X1000 - NGFilesystem - Barony OK
AmigaOne X5000/40 - NGFilesystem - Barony OK

@amig_os
Thanks.
So it crashes on sfs (will try to install it for tests), and for some ppls crashes even when run from ram:. Also for Huno it crashes on jxfs too..

@Spectre
Can you confirm that on your setup Barony _crashes_ when you run it from ram (not just black window) ?

@kas1e

It crashes when run from ram .
this is on a Sam460ex .
