Configuring GtkRadiant

[C.Brutail]

Svn is a system, that developers use to constantly contribute to a project, with rollbacking ability (that means if somebody breaks something with a commit, they can move back to a previous version, to be able to fix).

You need an svn client, like Tortoise SVN to be able to download the content (this tool is for Windows, for linux, you'll need another client).[/url]

I haven't had much luck in getting Radiant to work on Ubuntu 6.10. 1.5 installs, but the interface is weird (for example, in the preview window, I can't use the direction keys to fly around; I'm stuck stationary). 1.4 doesn't seem to want to run at all. I can't really find any tutorials around to get 1.4 to work, they all say to use 1.5, but I know that's not as Nex-friendly. Any suggestions?

Why is 1.5 not as Nex Friendly? There are game-packs for 1.5 and one of them is for Nexuiz..

also available via svn..

Maybe saying that it's not Nex friendly is based on a claim from a long time ago. Regardless, being unable to move freely in the preview window is a pretty big problem still. Any ideas on what the problem might be?

mabie capslock/numlock is on?

Oh 1.5 is nex friendly, its just the small matter of it sucking worse then a industrial vacum on steroids ;P Well the latest svn version was better then the last 1.5 i tried (a year ago or so). still the ui is preddy messed up, and its so different in many things one has to wonder why the hell they dident make it sensible instead of making a new different-from-the-old-but-still-equally-strange(tm) interface.

I havent had any luck getting radiant 1.4 to run on ubu 6.10 either. It installs fine and executes etc, but some of the install process must be br0ked since a shellscript, "radiant, of unknown function (that would be used to launch radiant) just contain this phunkhey info :

#!/bin/sh
echo If you read this then there was a bug during setup. Report the bug and try running radiant.x86 directly from it's installation directory.

I feel so dumb now x.x Apparently I just needed to turn num lock off. Must be a linux-specific thing, I never had that problem in Windows. Oh well, it works. Thanks.

edit: The problem I run into with 1.4 is that it thinks that the editor binary is outdated for some reason and it won't start. The error message links to a FAQ thread on the radiant site that just returns some code that I'm assuming is an error in their FAQ system.

oh man, who called it?

anyway, yeah I think that has to do with Xserver. Not quite sure why it does that either, but I noticed that one day...

Hey, any ideas how to get GTKRadiant to run (natively) under Ubuntu Feisty Fawn 64-bit edition? I tried the .rpm, but as usually it throws a lot of error messages about dependencies that I actually already have installed. I also tried converting it into .deb but no success there either.
Thanks.
