Re: [Trisquel-users] Project: Starfighter
Version 1.4: https://savannah.nongnu.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=8295 This is a fairly big one because it features updated character portraits.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Project: Starfighter
Here's to hoping this one gets ported to Android (I'd love to see this on F-Droid :)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Project: Starfighter
if possible a android 1.5 OM port as-well!
Re: [Trisquel-users] Project: Starfighter
Another new release: https://savannah.nongnu.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=8275 Significantly, ships now turn red like they're supposed to, finally.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Project: Starfighter
New bugfix release: https://savannah.nongnu.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=8253
Re: [Trisquel-users] Project: Starfighter
As soon as it starts, I should clarify. It's normal for the cutscenes to be silent.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Project: Starfighter
No. The title screen music starts out quietly, but you should hear the music of the first level as soon as you start, unless you turned the music off?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Project: Starfighter
I suppose you have an Nvidia card? A quick search suggests the warning you posted would be related to that, though I didn't see any answers as to what it actually means.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Project: Starfighter
For some reason I assumed the SDL2 source included that. I installed those libraries and successfully compiled Starfighter. After running it I get odd warnings in the terminal, such as: nvfx_screen_get_param:95 - Warning: unknown PIPE_CAP 30 A window titled Starfighter appears, but it is completely black except for the top title bar. I know that my laptop has poor OpenGL support with the free drivers, but I wasn't aware of any SDL issues.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Project: Starfighter
It's a Nvidia card. I'll try installing the program on my Mac Mini with Intel GMA and Trisquel 7.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Project: Starfighter
UPDATE: I installed it on my desktop computer and it works fine. I was surprised that I didn't hear any sound until after I started a new game and fired the first shot. Is this normal?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Project: Starfighter
That's not right. It uses SDL2 now. The packages you need are libsdl2-dev, libsdl2-image-dev, and libsdl2-mixer-dev.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Project: Starfighter
Sorry about the cryptic errors and lack of documentation. One of my goals is to replace the current hand-made Makefile with either Autoconf or CMake scripts; that should help with that. Anyway, as I said in the other post, the packages needed are libsdl2, libsdl2-image, and libsdl2-mixer.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Project: Starfighter
These would seem like good candidates libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev
Re: [Trisquel-users] Project: Starfighter
It looks like this software may be Trisquel 7 only. A search in Synaptic for libsdl2 returns no results.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Project: Starfighter
Hm... what does this command return? pkg-config --cflags sdl2 SDL2_image SDL2_mixer This command is used by the makefile, and it generates the -I flag. If it's returning something incorrect, that would be causing the problem. (I imagine make install would have put your installation into /usr/local.) If that's the problem, you can replace this command in the makefile with the correct -I command. Another thought: you need the SDL2 header files. Does the configure make make install procedure install these, or does it just install the library itself?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Project: Starfighter
The -I flag sets an include directory.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Project: Starfighter
Ah, OK. You might still be able to get it working by compiling SDL2 yourself, though: http://libsdl.org
Re: [Trisquel-users] Project: Starfighter
I compiled SDL2 according to the instructions (./configure; make; make install, the last one as root) and it apparently compiled correctly, but the compilation of Starfighter returns the same error.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Project: Starfighter
Is there a /usr/local/share/pkgconfig or /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig directory? If so, try adding it to your PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Project: Starfighter
I tried these two commands and I got the same error after running make: PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig export PKG_CONFIG_PATH
Re: [Trisquel-users] Project: Starfighter
Done. :) (Renaming it to Project Starfighter isn't really necessary, in my opinion; Starfighter is a legitimate short name for the game.)

Whoops, accidentally posted this to the Troll Hole. Re-posting here... Remember this old game? I've started to maintain it. :) http://starfighter.nongnu.org And I've made a new release, 1.3. You'll notice that this version, unlike the original, has libre graphics, sound, and music. (Most of the work was done by the folks at http://sourceforge.net/projects/pr-starfighter/; I just completed it by adding music and replacing one set of graphics that weren't properly licensed.) Another thing you'll notice is a lot of gameplay improvements. The release announcement explains what has changed in greater detail: https://savannah.nongnu.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=8249 Please give it a try and let me know what you like and dislike. :)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Project: Starfighter
Congratulations onpon4, I know you've been learning about 2d game development and I'm very happy you took the step to maintain a project like that :) I will try it eventually. Thank you
Re: [Trisquel-users] Project: Starfighter
Oh, I learned 2-D game development years ago, and I've made other games before. (See from my homepage: Senso, Karate Kat, Pacewar. I've also been contributing quite a bit to Naev; the recent 0.6.0 release includes several of my contributions.) Also, this game was made in 2003 by Parallel Realities, then further developed in 2012 by various people, mainly Guus Sliepen. I'm just picking it up and maintaining it. :)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Project: Starfighter
That's great! :D Onpon continues 4's legacy.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Project: Starfighter
Nice! I guess somebody should update (and perhaps rename) this https://libregamewiki.org/Starfighter
