no textures

[zonker (The Thing)]

Im running nexuiz 2.3 under debian. On some maps i have no textures at all; i run around in an utterly black environment where i can see other players and weaponry on the whole map as the walls dont render and hence don't limit my view. This is nice enough, but it's prety hard to play maps i dont know in this way and even if i know them its quite a challenge.
To fix it I tried:
1)reinstalling the game
2)reinstalling the graphics driver (nvidia 7600 card, uses nevest driver)
3)2 and then 1
but it doesn't fix anythingt. I dont see any error messages anywhere. Does anyone has a suggestion/ solution to this?
Libcurl is installed.

you're missing maps, and the server does not have the URLs to the maps set right. Normally the client will grab the URL from the server and download it, but that's not happening. If you don't remember seeing it download the maps you're having problems with, that's what's wrong.

Try opening the console (shift+esc) and typing 'map runningman', and see if that has the same effect. If it doesn't, you're just missing maps. If it does, then you have a problem. Also I'd try playing those same maps on a different server.

Also make shure you have libcurl installed, without it Nexuiz will run, but is unable do download custom maps.

[zonker (The Thing)]

hmm, you seem to have directed me right to the core of the problem.
Using the console (never seen that before ) i see some errors when connecting to servers using maps i dont already have
missing libcurl.dll - (but thats a windoze library isnt it?) AND libcurl IS installed...
modules not found
maps not found

when just typing the name of a map i have allready in cache it works fine, i get to play that map single player...

Is there a way to start the game with an output of error messages, -debug mode? would make it more simple to find the errors than scolling through the console as new things show up there all the time

[KadaverJack]

missing libcurl.dll - (but thats a windoze library isnt it?) AND libcurl IS installed...

Uhm... why does it search for libcurl.dll?! it should search for libcurl.so.4, libcurl.so.3 & libcurl.so...
Are you shure you didn't start the windoze *.exe through wine?

Is there a way to start the game with an output of error messages, -debug mode? would make it more simple to find the errors than scolling through the console as new things show up there all the time

-condebug will save everything to ~/.nexuiz/data/qconsole.log (and -developer will enable _lots_ of spammy debug messages )

[zonker (The Thing)]

Im 100% sure i dont run this through wine. I installed the game through apt-get and i start it through the console.
whow! that debug file got 4.5 mb in 1 minute of game-run!
most (99%) of the debug message contains only this line (repeated zillion times):

It just strikes me, im running debian testing, and so i have libcurl4 installed, containg not libcurl.so.3 but libcurl.so.4, is this the reason?
If this really is the culprit, can you ppl tell me what command i give apt-get to downgrade it to stable version?

The important thing is:

Are you sure you have Nexuiz 2.3? The old version 2.2.3 did not work with libcurl4 as it was not released back then iirc!
But i think the new 2.3 binaries are not yet in debian unstable, while the game content already is. That was the last time i looked..

[KadaverJack]

Most likely yes. It seems to be a packaging bug, since nexuiz depends on libcurl4 (on unstable), but the binary tries to load libcurl3.so...
So you can either install libcurl3 (it's still in testing afaik) or get Nexuiz 2.3 from http://www.alientrap.org/nexuiz/index.p ... =downloads (the debian package is 2.2.3, not 2.3 btw...)

[zonker (The Thing)]

Heck.... Im sorry. I wasted your time for nothing...
Only nexuiz-data and nexuiz-music is ver. 2.3, nexuiz is still ver 2.2-3
Pm me and ill give you my adress so you can come by and kick my butt really bad...

I was happy for an hour there....

Why the heck do they do that anyway? -upgrade two of 3 needed packages for something to work...

I NEED my nexuiz!

Well, but the end result is i learned something new, and thats exactly what makes linux interesting. Sory i took your time

[SavageX]

You're welcome.
