Troubles with loki installer version of 0.16

Discussion:

I'm using Fedora Core 3 and having issues with quake2 crashing when I
change any of the sound settings. Is anybody else having this issue?

Another issue is the screen is dark running in OpenGL mode even if I
tweak the brightness all the way up. Is there a way to change the gamma
in the game I've tried changing vid_gamma in the config file but it gets
reset to 0.50000. I'm using a GeForce FX 5700 for a graphics card.

I have not played with this version since 0.05 I believe and remember
there were some issue with TNT cards at that time.

Thanks for any help/input anybody can give me.

Regards,
Paul Berger

Do you use quake2 or sdlquake2. The quake2 bin uses oss and sdlquake2
scould alsa if availiable (depends on your SDL).

I launch quake2.sh which looking at it launches sdlquake2 which is what
PS shows.

I think the problem is that I used SDL 1.2.8... I have updated the
installer and included my libSDL but it isn't on liflg.

I'll build a compile box (suse 8.1 or something else) to build such
binaries so it will be more compatible.

For now try

Sorry for the problems...

No problem really ... I'm happy that it's being maintained and that work
is being done to support alsa to keep it compatible with newer distros
and having a nice installer is good also.

After replacing the files with the tarball and putting in place the new
version of sdlquake2 I can change the sound settings without
segfaulting.

Now if I could get it so the screen was not so dark that would be icing.

I found a work-aound I'm using a shell script to use xgamma to change
the gamma and switch it back after I exit out of the game.

That's interesting. I have a GeForce4 here with nVidia module, and have to
use the KDE Monitor applet->Gamma sliders before I start Quake2 to get the
level right.

Can you show the script you use to do this automagically?

Thanks,

Nick

Heh, bloody hell - all this time I farted around with KDE kgamma.

I already start quake2 from a script to get sound etc. working, so this is
great.

Ok, this may be a problem on my end... It crashes at the sound
initialization, as you can see above, so changing the executable to
quake2 plain does run, BUT the sound is HORRIBLE too much static, plus I
get this dump on the console:

Well, apparently it was a problem with SDL, I updated my FC3 to SDL
1.2.8 and that solved the problem, so I'm pretty sure people that don't
have it yet installed will appreciate those links.

I suspect that was my issue as well since the tar included a copy of the
SDL lib. Probably why most the commercial games I see include their own
copy of SDL with them.

I'm running into issues with one that I compiled myself also crashing
after the sound gets initialized. ::SIGH:: probably borked version of
SDL included with FC3.
