| To play online, you must have the same version as everyone else in the game.
| |
|
| |
|
| Most people should get the current release, version 0.74b3. There are usually
| |
| between 100 and 200 people online in the lobby, and if you want to play with
| |
| them, you need this.
| |
|
| |
|
| Older versions should only be interesting to software archeologists.

|
| If you want to see the bleeding edge, you can checkout svn head of spring, but
| | |{{Template:LinuxSetupGuideButton|name=From Source|link=Build_from_source|icon=Git.png}} |
| it can not be used to play with people who have the release, so you are
| |
| practically limited to playing against nemo. This is mainly interesting for
| |
| people who want to contribute to the project, for testing, finding bugs and
| |
| fixing them, and implementing new features. Head can be seriously broken from
| |
| time to time, or not even compile.

|
| === Installing With Package Managers On Various Distributions === | | |{{Template:LinuxSetupGuideButton|name=Snaps|link=Snaps_install }} |
|
| |
|
| If there is a package for your distributions preferred package manager, it is
| | |{{Template:LinuxSetupGuideButton|name=Ubuntu|link=Ubuntu_install|icon=Distributions-ubuntu.png}} |
| recommended to use it instead of compiling the program yourself from sources.
| |
|
| |
|
| ==== 0.74b3 For Etch (Debian 4.0 Stable) With APT ==== | | |{{Template:LinuxSetupGuideButton|name=Gentoo|link=Gentoo_install|icon=Distributions-gentoo.png}} |
|
| |
|
| <code><pre>
| | |- |
| echo "deb http://www.osrts.info/~tvo/deb etch spring" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
| |
| aptitude update
| |
| aptitude install spring spring-data
| |
| </pre></code>
| |
|
| |
|
| Your paths are: Spring executable in <code>/usr/games/spring </code> and
| | |{{Template:LinuxSetupGuideButton|name=Slackware|link=Slackware12_install|icon=Distributions-slackware.png}} |
| read-only data in <code>/usr/share/games/spring</code>.
| |
|
| |
|
| ==== 0.74b3 For Sid (Debian Unstable) With APT ==== | | |{{Template:LinuxSetupGuideButton|name=Debian|link=Debian_install|icon=Distributions-debian.png}} |
|
| |
|
| The current .deb for Sid is broken, because it depends on some boost packages
| | |{{Template:LinuxSetupGuideButton|name=Mandriva|link=Mandriva_install|icon=Distributions-mandriva_linux.png}} |
| of version 1.33 that are not installable on sid, which has only 1.34. A
| |
| slightly more complex way to install is necessary:
| |
|
| |
|
| <code><pre>
| | |- |
| echo "deb http://www.osrts.info/~tvo/deb sid spring" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
| |
| echo "deb-src http://www.osrts.info/~tvo/deb sid spring" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
| |
| aptitude update
| |
| aptitude install dpkg-dev devscripts
| |
| apt-get source spring
| |
| apt-get build-dep spring
| |
| cd spring-0.74~b3/
| |
| debuild -us -uc
| |
| debi
| |
| </pre></code>
| |
|
| |
|
| Your paths are: Spring executable in <code>/usr/games/spring </code> and
| | |{{Template:LinuxSetupGuideButton|name=openSUSE|link=openSUSE_install|icon=Distributions-opensuse_linux.png}} |
| read-only data in <code> /usr/share/games/spring</code>.
| |
|
| |
|
| ==== 0.74b3 For Ubuntu (any version) With APT ==== | | |{{Template:LinuxSetupGuideButton|name=Fedora|extlink=http://projects.springlobby.info/projects/springlobby/wiki/Install#Fedora-10|icon=Distributions-fedora.png}} |
|
| |
|
| If you have boost 1.33, then all you need is:
| | |{{Template:LinuxSetupGuideButton|name=FreeBSD|link=FreeBSD_install|icon=Distributions-freebsd.png}} |
| | |} |
|
| |
|
| <code><pre>
| |
| echo "deb http://www.osrts.info/~tvo/deb edgy spring" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
| |
| aptitude update
| |
| aptitude install spring spring-data
| |
| </pre></code>
| |
|
| |
|
| If you have boost 1.34, you have to do it the same way as debian unstable:
| | <span style="float:right">[[Linux:Packaging | Package Maintainers]]</span> |
|
| |
|
| <code><pre>
| | [[Category:Linux]] |
| echo "deb http://www.osrts.info/~tvo/deb edgy spring" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
| |
| echo "deb-src http://www.osrts.info/~tvo/deb edgy spring" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
| |
| aptitude update
| |
| aptitude install dpkg-dev devscripts
| |
| apt-get source spring
| |
| apt-get build-dep spring
| |
| cd spring-0.74~b3/
| |
| debuild -us -uc
| |
| debi
| |
| </pre></code>
| |
| | |
| Your paths are: Spring executable in <code>/usr/games/spring</code> and
| |
| read-only data in <code>/usr/share/games/spring</code>.
| |
| | |
| ==== 0.74b3 For Gentoo With Portage ====
| |
| | |
| Make an overlay for portage, download the ebuilds, and extract to populate the overlay:
| |
| | |
| <code><pre>
| |
| mkdir -p /usr/local/portage
| |
| echo 'PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage"' >> /etc/make.conf
| |
| wget http://download.berlios.de/taspring-linux/spring-ebuilds-0.74-r3.tar.bz2 ||
| |
| wget http://download2.berlios.de/taspring-linux/spring-ebuilds-0.74-r3.tar.bz2
| |
| tar xjf spring-ebuilds-0.74-r3.tar.bz2 -C /usr/local/portage/
| |
| </pre></code>
| |
| | |
| If you are not running unstable (~x86), do the following:
| |
| | |
| <code><pre>
| |
| echo "games-strategy/spring ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
| |
| echo "games-strategy/spring-base-ota ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
| |
| echo "games-strategy/spring-mod-xta ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
| |
| echo "games-strategy/spring-mod-gundamrts ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
| |
| echo "games-strategy/spring-mod-nanoblobs ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
| |
| </pre></code>
| |
| | |
| Some packages need to be built with certain use flags set, this makes sure it happens:
| |
| | |
| <code><pre>
| |
| echo "media-libs/libsdl X opengl" >> /etc/portage/package.use
| |
| echo "dev-libs/boost threads" >> /etc/portage/package.use
| |
| emerge media-libs/libsdl dev-libs/boost
| |
| </pre></code>
| |
| | |
| Add yourself to the group <code>games</code>. Don't do this as root, do this as
| |
| the user you normally use to play (you have to relogin afterwards to make it
| |
| work):
| |
| | |
| <code><pre>
| |
| gpasswd -a $(whoami) games
| |
| </pre></code>
| |
| | |
| And finally emerge spring itself, along with some datafile packages (ignore the
| |
| use flags for spring ebuild):
| |
| | |
| <code><pre>
| |
| emerge unzip spring spring-base-ota spring-mod-xta spring-mod-gundamrts
| |
| emerge spring-mod-nanoblobs
| |
| etc-update
| |
| </pre></code>
| |
| | |
| Your paths are: Spring executable in <code>/usr/games/bin/spring</code> and
| |
| read-only data in <code>/usr/share/games/spring</code>.
| |
| | |
| === Installing 0.74b3 From Source ===
| |
| | |
| If there is no package tailored for your distribution, you have to install from sources manually. Doing this for distributions where packages are available is not recommended.
| |
| | |
| ==== Getting The Source ====
| |
| | |
| You can either download the source as a 4.7MB tarball (recommended) or get it
| |
| from the subversion repository. Either way, the result is the same for 0.74b3.
| |
| | |
| ===== Downloading A Tarball =====
| |
| | |
| <code><pre>
| |
| cd /tmp
| |
| wget http://download.berlios.de/taspring-linux/spring_0.74b3_src.tar.bz2 ||
| |
| wget http://download2.berlios.de/taspring-linux/spring_0.74b3_src.tar.bz2
| |
| tar xjf spring_0.74b3_src.tar.bz2
| |
| cd spring_0.74b3
| |
| </pre></code>
| |
| | |
| ===== Checking Out From Subversion =====
| |
| | |
| <code><pre>
| |
| aptitude install subversion # if you are not on debian, figure it out
| |
| svn co https://taspring.clan-sy.com/svn/spring/tags/taspring_0.74b3 /tmp/spring_0.74b3
| |
| cd /tmp/spring_0.74b3
| |
| </pre></code>
| |
| | |
| ==== Getting The Dependencies ====
| |
| | |
| For Etch (debian 4.0 stable) and Sid (debian unstable), I've confirmed the
| |
| following to be the minimal set that is necessary to get. I have not tested
| |
| with any version of Ubuntu, but the line is probably almost identical if not
| |
| the same.
| |
| | |
| <code><pre>
| |
| aptitude install scons build-essential zlib1g-dev libfreetype6-dev
| |
| aptitude install libsdl1.2-dev libopenal-dev libglew-dev libboost-dev
| |
| aptitude install libboost-thread-dev libboost-regex-dev libdevil-dev
| |
| aptitude install python2.4-dev zip
| |
| </pre></code>
| |
| | |
| This has been tested to work with a clean install of gentoo 2007.0:
| |
| | |
| <code><pre>
| |
| emerge dev-util/scons \>=media-libs/freetype-2.0.0 \>=media-libs/libsdl-1.2.0
| |
| emerge media-libs/openal =dev-lang/python-2.4\* media-libs/glew dev-libs/boost
| |
| emerge media-libs/devil app-arch/zip
| |
| </pre></code>
| |
| | |
| Users of other distributions should be able to figure out the correct package
| |
| names from this. The scons configure will whine if you forget something, but it
| |
| does not check if you remembered to install zip, even though you still need it.
| |
| | |
| ==== Building And Installing ====
| |
| | |
| The build will spew out warnings like the following, which you can safely ignore:
| |
| | |
| <code><pre>
| |
| warning: division by zero
| |
| warning: 'q' may be used uninitialized in this function
| |
| </pre></code>
| |
| | |
| Configure, build and install:
| |
| | |
| <code><pre>
| |
| scons configure
| |
| scons
| |
| scons install
| |
| mkdir -p /etc/spring/datadir
| |
| echo '$HOME/.spring' > /etc/spring/datadir
| |
| </pre></code>
| |
| | |
| Your paths are: Spring executable in <code>/usr/local/games/spring</code> and
| |
| read-only data in <code>/usr/local/share/games/spring</code>.
| |
| | |
| == Finalizing installation ==
| |
| | |
| Now all the things you needed to run as root have been done. Some stuff needs to be done by the user who is going to play spring.
| |
| | |
| I'm assuming bash here, but you can use anything you like to do it of course.
| |
| | |
| === Making Data Directories ===
| |
| | |
| <code><pre>
| |
| mkdir -p ~/.spring/{base,maps,mods}
| |
| </pre></code>
| |
| | |
| === Getting Maps ===
| |
| | |
| You need at least one map to succesfully run spring.
| |
| | |
| Go to [http://spring.unknown-files.net/category/13/Maps/ Unknown Files, Map Section] and download at least one map. Save it under ~/.spring/maps/ without unpacking the file in any way.
| |
| | |
| Hint: If you know the map name you want, there is a Quick Search in the top right corner of the page. Just write a part of the name, like one word, and you'll easily find what you were looking for.
| |
| | |
| === Getting Mods ===
| |
| | |
| You need at least one mod to successfully run spring.
| |
| | |
| Go to [http://spring.unknown-files.net/category/14/Mods/ Unknown Files, Mod Section] and download at least one mod. Save it under ~/.spring/mods/ without unpacking the file in any way.
| |
| | |
| Hint: If you know the mod name you want, there is a Quick Search in the top right corner of the page. Just write a part of the name, like one word, and you'll easily find what you were looking for.
| |
| | |
| If you want to play mods based on Total Annihilation, for example XTA, AA, BA, then you have to do the following:
| |
| | |
| <code><pre>
| |
| wget http://ipxserver.dyndns.org/games/spring/mods/xta/base-ota-content.zip
| |
| unzip -d ~/.spring/base base-ota-content.zip
| |
| </pre></code>
| |
| | |
| Note that you need to own a copy of Total Annihilation, to download this file legally.
| |
| | |
| === Editing Settings ===
| |
| the .springrc file is difficult to edit by hand, and the windows settings editor won't change your settings, so use Kloot's [http://members.chello.nl/mjtobi/Settings++.tar.gz Settings++]. untar it anywhere and open it by typing "./Settings++" and edit away.
| |
| | |
| === Installing Lobby Client ===
| |
| | |
| To setup online games, you need a lobby client. There are several options to choose from.
| |
| | |
| ==== Omni ====
| |
| | |
| This project has been abandoned, and you should not use it.
| |
| | |
| ==== UnityLobby ====
| |
| | |
| This project has been abandoned, and you should not use it.
| |
| | |
| ==== SpringLobby ====
| |
| | |
| This project is very promising, but not yet ready enough for production use.
| |
| | |
| ==== AFLobby ====
| |
| | |
| This project is very promising, but not yet ready enough for production use.
| |
| | |
| ==== TASClient ====
| |
| | |
| This is a windows program, but it works just fine under wine in linux, and can be used together with native linux spring. I use it myself and recommend to use this temporarily until we all can migrate to SpringLobby or AFLobby.
| |
| | |
| Download the installer of Spring for Windows, and run it in wine:
| |
| | |
| <code><pre>
| |
| wget http://spring.clan-sy.com/dl/spring_0.74b3.exe
| |
| wine spring_0.74b3.exe
| |
| </pre></code>
| |
| | |
| No configuration of wine should be needed, if your distribution is sane.
| |
| | |
| Complete the install, and let it install to the default location, which is Program Files\\Spring.
| |
| | |

| | |
| Tips:
| |
| | |
| * If spring hangs/crashes while in full screen mode, you can press ctrl+alt+backspace to restart X, so no need for a reboot.
| |
| | |
| * Spring uses OpenAL for sound, Config your sound output i.e esd / arts / oss / alsa by editing /etc/openalrc or ~/.openalrc, example: ("'(" is not a typo)<br><br><code>(define devices '(alsa))<br>(define speaker-num 2)<br><br>(define alsa-out-device "hw:0,0")<br>(define alsa-in-device "hw:0,0")</code><br><br>Adventurous people with an emu10k1 based card (sblive) can try the accelerated openal version. http://www.lost.org.uk/openal.html , don't submit audiobugs if you do.
| |
| | |
| * If you really can't figure out how to get spring compiled, or you think there's a bug in the code or the buildsystem...
| |
| :* Just poke any developer on IRC:
| |
| ::* channel <code>#taspring</code> on [http://freenode.net/ FreeNode]
| |
| ::* or channel <code>#sy</code> on [http://www.quakenet.org/ QuakeNet]
| |
| :* Post it on [http://taspring.clan-sy.com/phpbb/ the forum]
