Bloomin' 'eck - where did this come from?
Well Done Hans-Joerg, have one on me

Hans-Joerg

I don't wish to be seen as ungrateful, but I believe you and your brother are responsible for me playing Freespace - The Great war over and over again on my A1. (I have lost count of the amount of times I have played the game through) - I am Totally Addicted!

Any chance you and him will ever release version 2?
(Please? Pretty Please!)

Well, if you don't ask!!!!

@Rudei

There's a donation link on his website, give it a whirl ;)

Just did. I can't afford more than that at the mo.
But will donate again in July.

Good stuff, keep up the good work! I was the first to donate ;)

Oh no you weren't!!!

Well Done Hans-Joerg. Keep up the good work and bring Freespace 2 tooooooo. Great games.

@walkero

The more donations, the bigger the incentive
- Well, its worth a try!

@Orgin

Done, 20Euro on the way!

Rude!

@Mikey_C

I asked him personally if I was the first to donate, he checked and said yes, so it looks like I beat you to it :P

Bah!

Some people have no respect for their elders!

C'mon people, donate and say "Thanks"

Thanx for this port..

The docs say 'double click on the icon and play.' Just one question: how does one play on a black screen?

Right, a bit more information would be helpful

First, make sure you have the binary in the right directory, i.e. it must be able to find the DESCENT2.HOG file in the same directory. Secondly, try to launch the game with the "-debug -verbose" option and capture the output (either serial or with DumpDebugbuffer if you have memory buffers on) and look for clues in there. If in doubt, sent me the log file.

nevermind.
thanx for the port!

@Rogue

Well done, excellent game.

I get DSI error after finishing first level on the demo version.

Sorry can send you crash log, computer crashed after exiting game.

Quote:

Might be a demo version issue. There had been some problems with missing resources. According to my saved game statistic, I have been playing for almost 2 hours total, have gotten to level 9 or so, and I only had one crash so far.

If you get a crashlog, send me that, I might be able to fix the problem.

@Valiant
Are you sure you have the required screen mode (320x240) available? I got a black screen too but after adding the screenmode to Radeon monitor icon tooltypes game started ok.

@GrumpyOldMan

Thanks, that's probably the problem. I've added that screen mode and will try again.

On my Amiga One I can't launch the game.
What's the problem?
I have tried the Tooltypes and added the Picasso96 settings too.

Quote:

Er.. exactly.. what is the problem? Can you be a bit more specific as to what exactly does or does not happen?

Anything on the debug output?
Anything reported missing by Snoopy?
Tried to launch it from a shell? What did it say?
Does it hang? Does it open a screen?

A bit of information goes a long way to me helping you with your problem.

@MamePPCA1

Have you copied the 'libphysfs.so' (included in the d2x archive) to SOBJS: and rebooted AmigaOne after that?

Quote:

You don't really need a reboot when copying a .so library.

@tfrieden

Is this true also when you update an older .so library to a newer one?

For the moment, yes. The shared objects aren't really (shared, that is) - they are loaded for each program that opens them. Real sharing is planned, in that case, they will start to behave like the old libraries.

@Rogue

Understood - thanks for the explanation!

Great work
