moon-lander looks as though muggins has fixed it, no more crash's.




Edit: Moon Lander updated with new patchs

[normal user]

hello all,

muggins used a patch i supplied in a Suse-Forum, but the solution
had a mistake: the game tries to load a "." ".." and
a ".Directory" as a jpg. the first version i posted, i only
solved the problem with the "." and the ".." and NOT the
".Directory" . But i posted a better solution in the forum.
Hello muggins, please use my latest patch! or have you
managed the problem i mentioned above?

have lot of fun

Here are a couple of LEM images that can be used to replace the existing moon lander ship for that authentic look

@normal user,

whoops...must have been half asleep...never thought to look at original thread link posted by geoffrey. Anyway, my .pet didn't include your latest patch...will need to recompile & will upload again.

thanks

Moon lander has been updated with a new patch so that the game doesn't try to load a "." ".." and ".Directory" as a jpg.

Download new pet from first post.

Thank you muggins

Hi All

Should this work in 5.2? Does not work from menu. If run in a terminal it appears to be looking for libSDL_mixer-1.2.so.0. "No such file or directory". If I search for this file in my system it does appear to be missing. If I search for missing dependences I get "no missing dependences". Do I have to install something else to get this working in 5.2?

Regards,

Ken.

Hello Ken,

yes it needs libSDL-1.2.so.0, libSDL_image-1.2.so.0 & libSDL_mixer-1.2.so.0. I'm not
sure where I downloaded these from on my system, but I just tested moon-lader, with a full SDL pet provided by Dingo here , and it works fine.

Hi Muggins

I downloaded the SDL package from your link. It downloaded as a .gz file. However, I read in another thread that this can be a browser issue and so I renamed it as a .pet and it seemed to install OK. (I searched for the appropriate files and they were now on my system). Now the game starts from the menu and plays a short demo but if I press enter and start to play the game it crashes after a perhaps five seconds of play leaving nothing on the screen but the normal desktop. If I run from a terminal the game starts as above but again crashes. I think the significant parts of the terminal output are
" cannot open file for reading: /root/.moon_lander -loading defaults" and lastly
"fatal signal: segmentation fault (SDL Parachute Deployed)"
On checking there is no .moon_lander file (I know this is a hidden file and so I have not missed it by not looking for these). Any help you can give me would be much appreciated.

Regards,

Ken.

I found this libSDL-1.2.tar.gz compiled in Lucid Puppy Linux 5.2, it contains libSDL-1.2, libSDL_ttf, libSDL_net, libSDL_image, libSDL_mixer.

can be downloaded here http://code.google.com/p/wesnoth-sfs/downloads/detail?name=libSDL-1.2.tar.gz&can=2&q=

I've made a pet from it that can be downloaded Here

Geoffrey & Keniv,

Normal User has sent me an additional patch, so I'll recompile it, and add a link, within an hour. Hopefully this will resolve Keniv's problem.

(Oddly, running on lupu520, if I delete /root/.moon_lander, it seems to work OK for me?)

Edit: Actually will take longer as I'm feeling a bit patchy myself, trying to ascertain which patches are required. I sent a pm to Normal User for clarification.

Hi All

Thank you for all the help and work you are putting into this. I did try an install of another SDL (SDL 1.2.13) I found on the forum but this did not work either. I have just downloaded and installed Geoffreys SDL pet. I find it odd that I don't have .moon_lander in my install when you both appear to have it and so I will reinstall the moon-lander pet. If I still cant get it to work I will wait for the new patched version from muggins.

Thanks again,

Ken.

Ken,

while you're waiting for a patched version, you can try creating the config file, /root/.moon_lander, with just this content:
