Release Cannonball - The Enhanced C++ Outrun Engine

[Linux-SWAT]

Probably.

I removed the lib folder from my pnd btw.

 

[ptitSeb]

Yes, sure, lib/ in PND will be most of the time useless on Slackware.

And, just curious, can you just lauch the cannonball program from my PND, but without the lib/ folder, to see if it's a lib that cause the Segfault ?

 

[Linux-SWAT]

It works without the libs.

If you have the will to find a trick to bypass them, Slack can be easily identified with the /etc/slackware-version file.

If not, just put the sources in the pnd ^^.

 

[ptitSeb]

Oh, that look easy enough, I'll check for the existance of "/etc/slackware-version". If not present, I declare LD_LIBRARY_PATH as usual. If present, I skip this part... I'll make a test PND later and post it here.

 

[Linux-SWAT]

No hurry, i have three CB pnds on my card ^^.

BTW, wouldn't it be better to identify Zaxxon instead ?

So any non-zaxxon distro should not have the bug.

New build on the repo, in synch with the PC version. Grab-it and try some Time Trial !!!

0.1.5.10

• Now with Time Trial Mode, a guenine new Play Mode for Outrun !
• Fixed crash under slackware (hopefully)

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Yeeees !!! Thx !

 

[Linux-SWAT]

The trick doesn't work :/

I recreated a test .pnd without the lib folder, and it works.

I'm interested in the pnd_out of the PND, maybe there is a typo in the "if" I added...

BTW i previously mounted somewhere else, that's why it's not unmounting.

That's strange, the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable is not set, so I don't understand why it still crash.

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Something hardcoded ?

 

[ptitSeb]

I double checked the runscript... It seems that even if I don't export LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the lib/ folder, it by itself go fetch its libs in the "almost standard" lib/...

Hum, next release, I'll rename lib/ to libs/ , and hope it'll work (or I'll make a test PND later and post-it here, as it is a small one).

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Made a .pnd with this "trick": It worked.

 

[ptitSeb]

Ok, thanks for testing. I'll integrate that for next release ...

 

[kamui_kun]

Awesome work ^^ Works perfectly on my 1.2 GHZ Pandora. Looking forward for analog steering and highres

By the way, I've released only one week ago a live wallpaper for Android, inspired by these kind of racers (more like Super Hang-On, actually) : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agyZTwlrXHw

Doesn't work on Pandora, as the Pandora Android don't support live wallpapers it seems...

Hello,

I just thought I'd say that the LD_LIBRARY_PATH problem is because of the pnd_run.sh script - it sets PATH to $MNTPOINT/bin and LD_LIBRARY_PATH to $MNTPOINT/lib and XDG_DATA_DIRS to $MNTPOINT/share, so that's why the trick of using a directory that's not called 'lib' works.

New build on the repo !

Now with a New HiRes mode (be sure to fall back to 30fps, or you will get a choppy experience).

Also, the Beta/Test Track (1st level) is selectable. It's some kind of demo track that show everithing Outrun engine can do... More info on the cannonball site !

A screenshot in HiRes: 

0.1.6.11

• New HiRes mode. Graphics are crisper. You should not enable both HiRes and 60fps, that's too much for the Pandora for now.
• Proprer fix so it should run under Slackware

Grab-it while it's hot 

 

[Linux-SWAT]

O M G !

I will call you grandSeb from now on.
