Ok I was really addicted to freelancer and this game looks like it could be promising can someone tell me if there are install directions to get this on opensuse 11.0 64 bit edition
maybe this will help
Webpin
hmm when I do either the data install or music install it gets to the point where it looks for the dependencies and says
"nothing provides vegastrike >= 0.5.0 needed by vegastrike-data-0.5.0-3.4.noarch
conflict resolution:
*do not install vegastrike-data-0.5.0-3.4.noarch
I click cancel and the package manager is open it shows Java-1_5_sun-plugin 1.5.0_update16-1.1 I have 1.5.0_update16-1.1
Suse fr file is fine it matches with what i have installed…any suggestions on what I do?
add this repo to your list
Index of /repositories/home:/etrash:/games/openSUSE_11.0
when that is done
use software management to add the package
I got the same response as before. I am going to try and download the file and see if I can just run the rpms from there what do you think is causing the problem? also what file is it that you wanted me to download?
alright here is what the people on vega strike said…
Vega Strike Forums • View topic - opensuse 11.0 and vega strike
it seems I am supposed poke the opensuse package maintainer about his incomplete package…just what someone told me to do…
No no, I got it working fine under 64bit SUSE 11.0, don’t bother with the auto installers. Just download the tar file, untar it. Then open up Konqueror as super user, move it into the usr/share/games folder. It should work. Then use terminal to navigate to that directory. All the executibles are under /vegastrike/bin
to untar a file just type:
tar -xf (filename)
to navigate in terminal use cd to go to a directory, cd… to go back, dir for directory listing.
Make sure to run vegastrike-64 to play the game and run the vssetup-64 first before you run the game! It runs well, lots of fun but some odd crashes occur at times. I need to contact the Vegastrike forums now that you mention it as well.
Don’t forget, type in su and login into root before doing any of this from terminal! Also, to run an exe file in Linux, here is how you do it. Let say you have run.exe
In windows you just type run.exe but it doesn’t work like that in Linux since it doesn’t recognize file extensions in the same way. Here you would need to type the following:
./run.exe
Almost forgot, to run konqueror as root, just open terminal, su for super user, then after you login to route, type konqueror and it will pop it up. Then delete the address bar and just type in /usr/share/games to navigate there and move the untarred Vegastrike folder there.
