hi,
i’m having difficulties with SpringLobby. it’s able to connect to a server, but is unable to detect any mods. it doesn’t matter if i download them through springlobby or copy them myself to $HOME/.spring/mods .
anyone know what i could do?
Hello brian_j,
We’re missing a lot of information.
Can you tell us which version of openSUSE you have?
And which version of Spring/SpringLobby?
I tried it out myself and the directory
$HOME/.spring/mods/<MOD>
works for me.
You can also try to put the mod in:
/usr/share/games/spring/mods
And can you give us the output of springlobby.
Just run this command in the terminal:
springlobby
Best of luck!
versions are all the latest from the suse repo just like the Suse 11.2 i’m running.
here is an strace of springlobby, apparently it’s reading the mods and maps: (see 3+4. line, strange paths)

still they are not showing in the battlelist nor the singleplayer tab.
running springlobby in a terminal shows some errors:

Hello brian_j,
I think the problem is that springlobby is looking in the wrong directory.
Using read-only data directory: /usr/lib64/spring/
This must be:
/usr/share/games/spring/
Assuming that you can see the main window of springlobby, try changing the data directory in the preference window.
Edit->Preferences->Spring->Change Datadir path
Good luck!
that did it! thx!!
Hi there,
I am having the same problem on openSUSE 11.3 freshly installed.
Here’s my unitsync.log
LogOutput initialized.

I attempted the same fix above but it did not work.
Thanks for your help
I solved, partially, the problem by adding the repository:
Index of /repositories/home:/accAgon/openSUSE_11.3
and downloading spring-content.
Maps and mods are now shown.
The second error remains:
Content error: could not find 'gamedata/parse_tdf.lua' code
Hello savedario,
Sorry for the late response.
I don’t have spring installed on a openSUSE 11.3 computer at the moment so I can’t test it.
You could try to rename your ~/.spring/ folder and try it again.
Also make sure you’ve got both spring and springLobby from the same repository.
I’ll see if I can recreate the error.
Best of luck!
