Upgrade to nexuiz 2.0 with yum on fc5.x86_64
Tue Aug 22, 2006 2:31 pm

  • I downloaded nexuiz some months ago, so firstly let me just say how cool I think this game is.. IT ROCKS!! Seriously, it had everything I love about quake DM and then so much more!

    After installing nexuiz with yum, I couldn't seem to connect to any of the servers because my version was out of date. I was happy enough playing with bots at the time. Then I grew impatient to see what 2.0 had to offer and made a rash decision to update with:
    Code: Select all
    # yum update nexuiz


    And now it does not work.

    More precisely, nexuiz-sdl toggles my screen as if preparing to load. It locks up indefinetly at this black screen and does not respond to ctrl+z, ctrl+c - I must kill -9 it.

    I have more luck with nexuiz-glx. It loads to menu, it's very quick, sound is working; almost too good to be true. Start a game and it crashes, but this time it releases my console straight away. The output is too long to post in it's entirety, this appears to be the important parts:
    Code: Select all
        ...
    ^7Draw_CachePic: failed to load gfx/crosshair7c
    ^7Draw_CachePic: failed to load gfx/crosshair8
    ^7Draw_CachePic: failed to load gfx/crosshair9
    ^7Draw_CachePic: failed to load gfx/crosshair10
        ...

    ^7Received signal 11, exiting...
    ^7Client "NexPlayer" dropped
    ^7Client "Danger" dropped
    ^7Client "Sensible" dropped
    ^7OpenGL Backend shutting down


    I am assuming that all this means that I missing part of the whole of the data. But I do not know what I am missing. Here is a list of my currently installed packages
    Code: Select all
    libglade.x86_64      1:0.17-16.2.1
    SDL.x86_64           1.2.9-5.2.1
    glx-utils.x86_64     6.4.2-6
    kmod-fglrx.x86_64    8.26.18-1.2.6.17_1.213
    nexuiz-data.noarch       2.0-2             
    nexuiz-server.x86_64     2.0-2.fc5
    nexuiz.x86_64            2.0-2.fc5


    Please help get nexuiz working again *sobs* I need my gaming fix.

  • Try to move ~/.nexuiz/data/config.cfg to a save place. This file contains your Nexuiz settings and most probably still has some old settings that conflict with the new version.
    ^7g_maplist: Map 'rune_nexdm12' not found in database - ignored
    ^7g_maplist: Map 'tdm_nexdmextra2' not found in database - ignored
    ^7g_maplist: Map 'tdm_nexdmextra1' not found in database - ignored

    Those are the old mapnames.. Have you tried 'instant action'? Does it work? Also 'join' should work despite old settings.

    If that does not help you can also try to download the official version from http://www.alientrap.org/nexuiz/index.p ... =downloads. Its just a zip file that you have to extract somewere and then start the nexuiz-linux.sh. (Hmm note that this script uses the -sdl version so if it gives you problems you might have to edit the script to use -glx instead. The next version will ship with two scripts for the two versions :) )

    No, instant action does not work, same result as campaign.

    Attempting to join is interesting, the mouse staggers and the sound stalls as if hit by a very slow framerate. No other menu items respond like this one does.

  • Try moving your current .nexuiz directory away (mv ~/.nexuiz ~/.nexuiz-orig) and try again. I just tested it on a freshly installed FC5-x86_64 and it worked.

    However, if that doesn't work, try getting the official Nexuiz package from http://www.alientrap.org/nexuiz/
    1. Open Notepad
    2. Paste: ÿþMSMSMS
    3. Save
    4. Open the file in Notepad again

    You can vary the number of "MS", so you can clearly see it's MS which is causing it.

  • Code: Select all
    mv  ~/.nexuiz/ ~/nexuiz.old
    cd ~; ls -a


    Removed the directory like you asked. Re-ran nexuiz-glx. Exact same result and I could not find any difference in the way that it failed. After the first run, this ~/.nexuiz direcory had returned with the exact same files, no diff.

    I began to have doubts that using 'yum update' was such a good idea; for one thing it did not take as long as to download as it should have.

    To cut a boring story short, I did this:

    Code: Select all
    yum remove nexuiz.x86_64 nexuiz-data.noarch nexuiz-server.x86_64
    rm -rf /etc/skel/.nexuiz/
    rm -rf /home/username/.nexuiz/
    rm -rf /root/.nexuiz/
    echo "Yes, yes, I know. I ran nexuiz as root this one time ...  frag me root."
    yum -y install nexuiz.x86_64 nexuiz-data.noarch nexuiz-server.x86_64


    It took a while on my connection. When it finished, I ran nexiuz-glx.

    Would you believe it; crashes in the exact same way.

    No wait! There is a difference. Now nexiuz-sdl works as well .. right up till the exact same point that nexiuz-glx crashes.

    I'll download nexuiz-20.zip from sourceforge. In the meantime, is there anything else that I can try.

    For example, this file:
    Code: Select all
    ^7Draw_CachePic: failed to load gfx/crosshair7

    does not exist on my filesystem:
    Code: Select all
    #locate gfx/
    # find / -type f -name crosshair*


    So my guess is that my ~/.nexuiz directory is not up to date. Mine doesn't have much in it .. just a config.cfg file with some key binds. What else do I need in here?

    Those errors are not critical. There are only 6 different crosshairs, but the engine supports up to 32 crosshairs (so ppl can use custom crosshairs without overwriting the default ones).
    And even if those files were there, you wouldn't see them for 2 reasons: all textures, models, maps, etc. are in data20060614.pk3 (which is a ordinary zip file) and the existing crosshairs are hardcoded in the engine binary ;)

  • I've downloaded nexuiz-20.zip from sourceforge. It's still crashing. nexiuz-linux.sh ends like this:
    Code: Select all
    Fatal signal: Segmentation Fault (SDL Parachute Deployed)



    The other binaries end like so:
    Code: Select all
    ^7Received signal 11, exiting...
    ^7Client "Player" dropped
    ^7Client "Paranoia" dropped
    ^7Client "Resurrection" dropped
    ^7OpenGL Backend shutting down



    I've updated fglrx and the kernel. No dice.

    yum install libXxf86dga-devel

    BTW, you should rather compile cl-nexuiz or sdl-nexuiz so you don't need to rename the binary at the end.
    1. Open Notepad
    2. Paste: ÿþMSMSMS
    3. Save

  • That's both a good and a bad message... the good one is that it isn't the fault of Nexuiz and that you should try asking ATI, as the crash happens inside their driver. BTW, on the (gdb) prompt, type the command "bt" and post its output, this is the full backtrace.

    The bad one is that we can't help you much with this. I have a test system, FC5 x86 with a Radeon 9600 mobile and it works there, apart from one option which is known to cause a driver crash (it is r_glsl_offsetmapping_reliefmapping and disabled by default).

    However, try this:

    echo "exec low.cfg" > ~/.nexuiz/data/autoexec.cfg

    and try again.
    1. Open Notepad
    2. Paste: ÿþMSMSMS
    3. Save
    4. Open the file in Notepad again

    You can vary the number of "MS", so you can clearly see it's MS which is causing it.

  • Strange, on your system the OpenGL shaders ALONE cause a crash? Can you give us more details about your system so we can include this into the FAQ? Please post here the exact graphics card you have, the version of the ATI driver you are using and the output of the following commands (as root):

    Code: Select all
    uname -a
    find /lib/modules -name fglrx.ko -exec md5sum {} \;
    lspci -v | perl -ne 'print if /ATI/../^$/'
    perl -ne 'print if /Section.*"Device"/i../EndSection/i' /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    rpm -qa | grep ^xorg


    Such a problem IS known, but only for Mac OS X, which is why this option is forced off there (until now, no single OS X system is known where that feature works).

    Still, it sounds like something that could be added to the nexuiz-linux...sh files... and we are just about to release 2.0.1, but it would be nice if a workaround can enter that version.
    1. Open Notepad
    2. Paste: ÿþMSMSMS
    3. Save
    4. Open the file in Notepad again

    I am missing out on some of the visuals, but it's not really an issue. It's the gameplay that keeps me entertained; visuals add aesthetic value true, but that doesn't mean much if you grow tired of the action.

  • divVerent wrote:Can you give us more details about your system so we can include this into the FAQ? Please post here the exact graphics card you have, the version of the ATI driver you are using and the [..]


    The graphics card is a Raedon X700Super 512mb DDR2 PCI-Express (pci-e). Motherboard is an ASUS A8N-SLI, socket939 AMD x86_64, 2gb of DDR2, 2xSATA2 WD300 in RAID.

    As for the graphics card driver, I got the instructions from http://www.fedorafaq.org/#radeon, so this is all that I know about the drivers:
    Code: Select all
    $ yum info kmod-fglrx
    Name   : kmod-fglrx
    Arch   : x86_64
    Version: 8.28.8
    Release: 1.2.6.17_1.2174_FC5
    Size   : 811 k
    Repo   : installed
    Summary: fglrx kernel module(s)

    Description:
    This package provides the fglrx kernel modules built for the Linux
    kernel 2.6.17-1.2174_FC5 for the x86_64 family of processors.


    Code: Select all
    $ /sbin/lsmod | grep fglrx
    fglrx                 503668  8



    There is some documentation under /usr/share/doc/xorg-x11-drv-fglrx-8.28.8 . I could tar it up and mail it to you, but the only good you will get out of it is a laugh, honestly it's a joke.

    Apart from this, you will need to be very specific about any more information you need; I have been in over my head since you said 'perl'.

  • I think that should be all I need... however, I am using an older version of fglrx on my test system (namely, 8.25.18 ). Will try the one you are using soon.
    1. Open Notepad
    2. Paste: ÿþMSMSMS
    3. Save
    4. Open the file in Notepad again

    You can vary the number of "MS", so you can clearly see it's MS which is causing it.

  • I am having the exact same problem as described above. The menus load fine, I can change any settings I wish, but the game stutters and crashes as soon as I actually try to play. I will try changing the shaders as soon as I get home.

    My video card is a genuine ATI X800XL AGP, using the latest ATI drivers (8.28.8). No other OpenGL app crashes like this, with the exception of UT2004, which seems to randomly crash after a few hours.
