| === LuaUI Crash Ingame === | | === Slow Mouse === |
| | |
| This issue is caused by a memory corruption bug in spring. It will be fixed in version after 0.76b1. Ubuntu packages include the fix. '''Workaround: disable ground decals.'''
| |
| | |
| LuaUI can crash during game, because some lua script you use has a bug. 0.75 should be resistant to this problem, but 0.74b3 is not. After crash, you won't see the bottom left tooltip box and top right resource bar anymore. Fear not, help is near:
| |
| | |
| <code><pre>
| |
| /resbar 1
| |
| /tooltip 1
| |
| </pre></code>
| |
| | |
| These might not be necessary in 0.75 anymore at all.
| |
| | |
| Also, you won't be able to change the build menu page with mouse anymore, but keys , and . do the trick.
| |
| | |
| LuaUI can also be restarted after it crashed. Often this does the trick and it works fine the rest of the game:
| |
| | |
| <code><pre>
| |
| /luaui reload
| |
| </pre></code>
| |

| === Map is White ===
| |
| | |
| If the whole map is only shades of white and grey, there is a problem with your display driver. Maybe your gpu is very old and does not support some needed opengl feature. For example I had this problem with matrox g550 but not with some very old geforce.
| |
| | |
| === Sound is Choppy ===
| |
| | |
| If the engine sound is very broken or choppy sounding, and you hear some noise or crackling, you need to tell OpenAL to try to use a different sound backend. If you don't have an ~/.openalrc file, create it with these contents, or modify your current one to look like this: | |
| | |
| <code>
| |
| (define devices '(native alsa sdl arts esd null))
| |
| (define alsa-device "dsp0")
| |
| (define speaker-num 2)
| |
| ;(define sampling-rate 22050)
| |
| </code>
| |
| | |
| The important line here is the "define devices" line, OpenAL attempts to use each of those sound output methods in order. It uses the first one that works; in some cases native will work best, in other cases perhaps alsa. If Gnome is running its sound daemon, esd would be the best choice, while KDE usually uses artsd.
| |

| == Startup ==
| |
| | |
| === Missing Default Cursor ===
| |
| | |
| This or any similar error of not being able to find a specific file are usually because the mod you are using needs ota content, download & install as explained [[SetupGuide#OTA_Content|earlier in this document]].
| |
| | |
| === could not open file: gamedata/defs.lua ===
| |
| | |
| Make sure your ~/.spring does not contain an outdated version of base/springcontent.sdz because a new version of this file is distributed with spring.
| |
| If you do, just remove it.
| |
| | |
| === sounds/button9.wav "cant find wav file" ===
| |
| | |
| Same problem as above.
| |
|
| |
|
| === Couldnt find matching GLX visual === | | === Problems with Audio === |
|
| |
|
| Reduce anti aliasing.
| | The engine needs at least OpenAL Soft 1.6 for its sound. If you still have the old openal-0.0.8 installed, you should update it. |
|
| |
|
| === GL_ARB_texture_compression not found ===
| | Additionally, ''pulseaudio'' causes lots of issues, so try to disable it for spring if you have sound problems. |
|
| |
|
| This can be an issue with your gpu drivers. The drivers you are using do not support a feature that is required to run spring. You might have better luck with the closed source official drivers of nvidia or amd cards. If your gpu itself is really old, this might not help.
| | == Desync in game == |
|
| |
|
| If you use the fglrx ati-graphics driver and you are getting this error there might be a chance that still spring work (I use this with ubuntu gusty). | | Spring only send the commands and not the result over the network, so it needs to run all math in a repeatable manner, so all other clients in a multiplayer match get the same results. So some CPU specific features have to enabled/disabled. If you desync, you either have a CPU that is not SSE1 capable, or you set the wrong -march/-mtune compiler flags. If you compile Spring via CMake, remove ''CMakeCache.txt'', and leave the march flag at the default. |
| At first we must check that fglrx is installed correctly:
| |
|
| |
|
| <code><pre>
| | = See also = |
| ~$ fglrxinfo
| | * [[IRC]] |
| display: :0.0 screen: 0
| |
| OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
| |
| OpenGL renderer string: ATI Mobility Radeon X1400
| |
| OpenGL version string: 2.0.6747 (8.40.4)
| |
| </pre></code>
| |
| | |
| Then lets check the glx-extention.
| |
| | |
| <code><pre>
| |
| ~$ glxinfo | grep direct
| |
| Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":1.0".
| |
| direct rendering: No
| |
| </pre></code>
| |
| | |
| If you get this message, notice that glxinfo releates to display ':1' and fglrxinfo to display ':0'!! Lets check the glx-extention on display :0 now.
| |
| | |
| <code><pre>
| |
| ~$ DISPLAY=:0 glxinfo | grep direct
| |
| direct rendering: Yes
| |
| </pre></code>
| |
| | |
| This message mean that you can start spring by typing (in a terminal)
| |
| | |
| <code><pre>
| |
| ~$ DISPLAY=:0 spring
| |
| </pre></code>
| |
| | |
| If you use the TASclient with wine and the native linux spring. Start the whole TASclient-start-script by typing.
| |
| | |
| <code><pre>
| |
| DISPLAY=:0 TASCLIENT-start-script
| |
| </pre></code>
| |
| | |
| But Notice under circumstances is no windowmanager running on screen :0! This means there are NO windowframes at the TASClient window! You can't move it or close it by clicking the closebutton (unless you click at the close button on the terminal-window in witch you startet TAS). You can although close TAS with the keys ALT-F4
| |
| | |
| === OpenAL Segfault ===
| |
| | |
| If spring crashes with this output:
| |
| | |
| <code><pre>
| |
| OpenAL: ALC_EXT_capture AL_EXT_capture AL_EXT_vorbis AL_EXT_MP3
| |
| AL_LOKI_quadriphonic AL_LOKI_play_position AL_LOKI_WAVE_format
| |
| AL_LOKI_IMA_ADPCM_format AL_LOKI_buffer_data_callback ALC_LOKI_audio_channel
| |
| Segmentation fault (core dumped)
| |
| </pre></code>
| |
| | |
| Look into this thread on the forums for a fix: http://spring.clan-sy.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=12568
| |
| | |
| Then bug nemo in #taspring to finish this troubleshooting entry. He knows how to fix it.
| |
| | |
| This is mod-related, ie. it only happens on some mods. Please list here the mod versions that give this error for you.
| |
| | |
| - Star Wars mod, unknown version, by user report
| |
| | |
| The problematic mod contains a sound file that crashes openal. You can try to unzip the mod file that crashed for you, and play each sound file. Please report any sound files that fail to play right, just list them here.
| |
| | |
| - unknown file

| | |
| === Desync in game ===
| |
| | |
| If you start a network game with other players, and you get sync error messages in game, your lobby version may be too old. It does not support the new protocol so it does not set the options on spring correctly, and desyncs at game start.
| |
| | |
| == Compiletime ==
| |
| | |
| === invalid use of ILvoid / ALCvoid ===
| |
| | |
| During compiling, if you get a lot of the following errors:
| |
| | |
| <code><pre>
| |
| /usr/include/IL/il.h:497: error: '<anonymous>' has incomplete type
| |
| /usr/include/IL/il.h:497: error: invalid use of 'ILvoid'
| |
| </pre></code>
| |
| | |
| This happens because the version of libdevil-dev you have installed is not compatible with gcc version 4.2 and newer.
| |
| | |
| You should upgrade your libdevil-dev to fix this issue. However, in some distributions (at least gentoo), the fixed package has the SAME version number as the older unfixed package, so you might actually need to remove your current libdevil-dev package completely and reinstall it.
| |
| | |
| this is an issue that can be better hacked [http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9278 there]. while the packages aren't fixed for their maintainers, you will need to do nasty things, like that:
| |
| | |
| <code><pre>
| |
| //typedef void ALCvoid;
| |
| #define ALCvoid void
| |
| </pre></code>
| |
| | |
| == Network Setup ==
| |
| | |
| Usually you don't need to do any network setup whatsoever, because the lobbies take care of nat traversal with firewall hole punching, but if you need to know the topology, it goes like this:
| |
| | |
| Host needs to enable incoming udp to port 8452, and outgoing replies to those.
| |
| Non-host players need to enable outgoing udp, and incoming replies to those.
| |
| So basically only non-host players initiate "connections", and only the server listens on a well-known port.
| |
| | |
| == If You Still Have Problems ==
| |
| | |
| Join to #taspring on Freenode or #sy on QuakeNet and try your luck.
| |
| | |
| However, generic linux problems not really related to installing this should be asked elsewhere.
| |
| | |
| Prepare to list your distribution, which installation method you used, and what exactly is the error. Don't ask if people are around or not, just go straight to business and tell all details, for maximizing your chances of getting help.
| |
| | |
| == IRC ==
| |
| | |
| # #taspring @ FreeNode
| |
| # #sy @ QuakeNet
| |
| | |
| == Asking For Help ==
| |
| | |
| Ok so you need human help. This is how '''NOT''' to do it:
| |
| | |
| <code><pre>
| |
| 15:54 -!- **** [n=****@*] has joined #taspring
| |
| 15:54 < ****> Hi, i have a problem with compiling spring on debian
| |
| 15:54 < ****> can anyone help me?
| |
| 15:57 -!- **** [n=****@*] has quit [Client Quit]
| |
| </pre></code>
| |
|
| |
|
| Don't ask to ask, instead go straight to business by stating the exact problem you have, and giving all necessary information. What you were trying to achieve, how did you try to do it, what happened and what did you expect to happen.
| |
|
| |
|
| Then WAIT for someone to notice you.

Linux specific Troubleshooting
Ingame
Slow Mouse
Run:
echo '# Slow fullscreen cursor fix for Spring' >> ~/.xsessionrc
echo 'SDL_MOUSE_RELATIVE=0' >> ~/.xsessionrc
echo 'export SDL_MOUSE_RELATIVE' >> ~/.xsessionrc
And log out and log in again.
The mouse should now be as fast as in windowed mode.
Rotating Buildings
You can rotate a building before you give the build order, but the keys that do this do not work in Linux by default for some users. Issue the following commands in the beginning of the game:
/bind keycodex buildfacing inc
/bind keycodey buildfacing dec
Keycodex and keycodey above are just placeholders. What you want to write depends on which key you want to use. To see what keycodes any keys have, do:
/keydebug yes
And then hit the keys you want to use, and spring prints the keycodes in the message buffer.
If you want to save these keys you have to edit the uikeys.txt.
Problems with Audio
The engine needs at least OpenAL Soft 1.6 for its sound. If you still have the old openal-0.0.8 installed, you should update it.
Additionally, pulseaudio causes lots of issues, so try to disable it for spring if you have sound problems.
Desync in game
Spring only send the commands and not the result over the network, so it needs to run all math in a repeatable manner, so all other clients in a multiplayer match get the same results. So some CPU specific features have to enabled/disabled. If you desync, you either have a CPU that is not SSE1 capable, or you set the wrong -march/-mtune compiler flags. If you compile Spring via CMake, remove CMakeCache.txt, and leave the march flag at the default.
