Got any advice?

Screenshot? Log? Anything?

For me it's working fine, so I can't tell what's wrong.

Hi etamPL, I really thank you for making that repo. Although I do have some doubts. The levelhead site suggests we should compile ARtoolkit, ART plus, osg etc. should we do that?
(Im not able to initialize the webcam, coz i have not yet installed the drivers). I have installed all packages of v4l but not gstreamer. The snapshots are from my desktop. Is that what i should get for a successful install? (apart from webcam not working)

[etamPL]

Compiling ARtoolkit, ART plus, osg etc. is already done. They are in my repo and are required by levelhead.

If you have this window with "place red cube ..." it means that levelhead had installed successfully.

Ok, but what are you supposed to do to get past this screen. I've added your repository for 11.2, installed the game and I get the white screen asking me to "put the red cube inside square to begin playing", but there is no red cube, nor is there a square to put it in. All I see are three pink "+" marks, and the screen doesn't respond to any keyboard or mouse input.

I apologize for the double post, but I ran the command from command line and logged the error output. Here's the log, hope it helps.

Hope you don't mind downloading from MediaFire, but the file was pretty big.

1) Which version of levelhead have you installed (v4l or gst)?
2) Do you have working camera?
3) If you answered yes to 2 do you have /dev/video device?
4) If you don't have /dev/video, but /dev/video0 edit the .levelhead file (in your home directory)
5) And finally: Do you have cubes like those? http://selectparks.net/~julian/level...es-hll_sml.jpg (if not go to /usr/lib64/levelhead/Data/images)

1. I have the v4l version installed.
2. I have a working camera (verified by testing it with skype)
3. I have a /dev/video0 device
4. I changed the setting in the .levelhead configuration file to use /dev/video0. After I did this, I ran the game from command line. Instead of saying "error: cannot find device /dev/video", it now says it found the device, but it cannot open the channel(0).
5. I reprinted the cubes. I was running out of color ink so my originals were pretty faded. Since the game doesn't seem to be able to use my camera, though, I doubt the cubes have any bearing on my current problem.

Thanks for the quick response. I would appreciate any more help you can provide.

Edit: The specific error message regarding the video device is:

video open....
Using config string from environment [-dev=/dev/video0].
error: acquireing channel(0) info
CHECK 1,2,3... IS THIS THING ON?

[etamPL]

Edit .levelhead file:
ARTOOLKIT_CONFIG="-dev=/dev/video0 -debug"

then from command line run
levelhead | tee levelhead_log.txt

Paste contents of levelhead_log.txt file to pastebin - collaborative debugging tool (or something else if you like)

[srschifano]

Here's the debug output:
pastebin - collaborative debugging tool

Let me know if you need anything else. I've been watching the video of the game, and I can't wait to start playing.

[etamPL]

Sorry. I can't help you. The only thing I can say it's ARToolKit fault, but I don't know why.
