Enemy Territory howto

[Necoro]

Portato can't handle the user agreement

Version 0.9.0.2 should handle such "interactive emerges" ... if not, it's a bug

[stevencomerthornley]

I just reinstalled Enemy Territory on my AMD64 system

and this showed at the end of the compile

Code: Select all

ALSA 32-bit emulation enabled in your kernel

so how do I check this??

OK so the

Code: Select all

http://nullkey.ath.cx/~stuff/et-sdl-sound/

hack doesn't work any longer

so the one Wolfden says to use does,

Code: Select all

echo "et.x86 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss

BUT after a short little game, and exiting, didn't work either way when I went back to the game later on, even after a restart.....hmm
BUT THEN I got my audacity to record a little had to set everything to ALSA Defaults for in and out for recording and tried Enemy territory again and then it worked?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

i don't know why, maybe something got reset?


getting punkbuster to work now

to do that I downloaded pbsetup.run from evenbalance.com and

Code: Select all

chmod u+x

on it and ran it and added enemy territory and then updated enemy territory and wallah, done

[stevencomerthornley]

OK, so this morning no sound, not at all

last night it would work and then it wouldn't today it just won't work
3,5 loop2 64 bit

don't know why, very frustrating.
tried the tricks on

http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Quake_III_Arena_/_Enemy_Territory

with no solution

any ideas?

[stevencomerthornley]

so after trying all the tricks to make it run with sound and no sound

I just clicked on the icon to make et-tce run and it ran, but I'd tried that before and it didn't run with sound

sometimes sound works sometimes it doesn't____why?

so I did this

Code: Select all

localhost Desktop # /etc/init.d/esound stop
 * WARNING:  esound has not yet been started.
localhost Desktop #                                       

tried my alsa hack

that didn't work

then I tried to just click on the icon, then I had sound.

But it doesn't always work.

Doesn't seem to work well at ALL with 3.5 L2 R1 64-bit. There is a bug in the cursor movement (which I've been told is xorg), and it supposedly can be fixed by running audacious or kaffiene at the same time as the game, but it really just speeds up your mouse, either making it slightly less noticeable, or if you fractionally move your cursor in-game you spin in circles, both directions.

Has anyone found a fix or workaround for this yet? I've just installed 3.5 L3 R1 64bit and the bug is still messing with things... I tried with the default xorg.conf file and noticed that my my mouse worked fine... it's when I configure xorg.conf to use all the buttons on my MX518 that it goes bad...

The only information I can find on this is in the xorg bugzilla: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12607 but there doesn't seem to be much of a solution there.
