Patch Upgrade Question

[disturbedite]

i'm using kubuntu linux (6.10) and nexuiz 2.0 from the ubuntu repos thanks to Fuddl. i have downloaded the 2.0.1 patch upgrade and extracted the folder.

what is the proper way to "upgrade" nexuiz 2.0 to 2.0.1?

i know its a noob question but thanks

The debian (and so the (k)ubuntu are slightly changed compared to the plain nexuiz zip file that is availalbe to download. (File structure and such kind of things have been changed) So i can't really tell you HOW to do it but its for sure possible. Fuddl also has a 2.1 paket ready that just needs to get uploaded by some debian developer.. maybe he can make it available to you.

The problem is that the Debian package also changed parts of the engine so it looks in other parts. However, you can use "apt-get source" to download the Debian-patched engine sources and apply the same changes to 2.1, but you need some development skills to do that.

However, if you just want to play on remote servers, you can stick to 2.0 for now and live with that sometimes occurring crash after download - and if you want to run a dedicated server, just use our package instead of the Debian package.

Fuddl didn't change anything to the engine, except for backporting the screenshot crash fix & using 2.1 gcc options. Everything else is done with a wrapper shellscript and symlinks.

Yes but one can't just extract the patch somewere to make it work with the debian 2.0 package. The files need to be put into the right places..

thanks for that confirmation. thats what i thought based on the file structure in the patch. very confusing for a first time nexuiz user. or at least tedious to track down all the dirs to put stuff in. i guess i'll just wait for fuddl to release the new version since i have to ship my modem back to qwest to get a replacement anyways.

Where can one find Fuddls 2.1 package?

The last info i have is 'its ready since the day it was released but its waiting to be uploaded by a debian dev' .. not sure if anything has changed by now.

any advice on appling the patch to nexuis3.0 on my fc5 install from the extras reposs data is in /usr/share/nexius/data with the binariies at /usr/bin/ . i am also haveing a problem with hard frezzes with the glx binary and some randon frezzes with the sdl version as well but it is very playable when it does

Enjoy the Choice

I have no idea how things are changed for FC. But i guess its enough to copy the new pk3 file into the same dir as the old ones and to copy the new binaries over the old ones. For debian this is a bit more complicated as they also softlink the pk3 and have a custom startup script so that Nexuiz does find all those pk3 files. I never really looked into the debian packages although i installed them at some point. Its just i use the official package or build the current development sources by hand..
