Thanks to Martin Erik Werner for doing the work to make this happen. _______________________________________________ games mailing list games&lt; at &gt;lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/games</pre> Bruno Wolff III 2012-05-12T18:00:26 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.games/1309 <pre>Hi all, The wishlist for GAMES SIG in Fedora contemplates Unknown Horizons (UH); I'm a part of upstream UH and I've packaged it in the past for Fedora and openSUSE and served it through a 3rd party repository to both platforms. I know that Simon was working on this since 2009, and it's not my interest to override someone, so if Simon wants to keep on packaging UH, it's cool with me, nevertheless I would like to be involved as well on this so that UH can be updated in time and can be available on Fedora on the release date. My goal is also to provide upstream support to Fedora users, this is why it's important somehow to us that we have some control over UH packages. I have submited a request for UH in Fedora in the past, which I closed later after knowing Simon was working on it; things have changed and we (UH upstream) want to colaborate with the Fedora community to achieve the best solution possible for Fedora users. Another issue comes with FIFE, the engine that powers up UH; I would like to be involved in this package also (Simon's co-maintainer ?), as I also have good relations and would like that upstream FIFE could support officially the Fedora platform and packages. I look forward to get some feedback regarding FIFE and UH and to work with GAMES Sig on Fedora to provide a kick a$$ package of UH!

I'm currently downloading the 3.54GB installer of Fedora. I'm a game developer and used to be doing frameworks/games using DirectX9. Since, I do have knowledge making games using OpenGL and doesn't want to spend a lot of money on buying paid OS, I chose Fedora(after lots of research) to be my development platform. It would be so kind of you to send me an offline installer and a beginner's guide; I would appreciate it very much. I want to master linux for game development. I'm currently doing a prototype of the strategy game we designed(together with 2 artists). Bottom-line, I want to master Fedora, install my needs(Drivers, IDE, OpenGL library, etc), develop the game and release Linux and Windows versions. If some of my words/phrases are somewhat offending or too demanding, I apologize for I'm not that good in English. Respectfully, </pre> Marc Joel Jamero 2012-04-29T17:52:24 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.games/1305 <pre>I see Arx Libertalis made a stable release (1.0). Given the availability of the demo, I think packaging this is within (though as usual for this kind of thing, on the edge) of what's acceptable for Fedora. Anyone interested in working on this? One "problem" is that upstream provides Fedora packages, built on the opensuse build system. That in itself is fine, but the packaging split is a bit weird to me, with a metapackage and some other stuff. Of course those packages don't support autodownloader and don't include some upsteam-provided scripts to operate on the actual game data, so there is some possibility for added value. You can see the upstream packages at https://build.opensuse.org/package/binaries?package=arx-libertatis&amp;project=home%3Adscharrer&amp;repository=Fedora_16 I believe all dependencies are already in place, except for one thing (innoextract) required to unpack the GOG release of the commercial game in the case that someone doesn't want to install wine to run the installer. Everything needed for the code to build and run is already in Fedora. - J&lt; _______________________________________________ games mailing list games&lt; at &gt;lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/games</pre> Jason L Tibbitts III 2012-04-20T20:01:17 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.games/1300 <pre> error: Can't LOVE without HEART I'm using F16 64bit, I've install a myriad of -devel files to get it to work lol Sorry about that. saw an opening. had to take it. won't do it again. </pre> Mangwiro, Errol 2012-03-30T08:41:00 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.games/1286 <pre>Hello, Is there any way to run angry birds under wine in fedora 64 bit?

By the time Fedora 18 comes out it looks good for full or as full as we can legally provide OpenGL 3.0 support for the majority of the available video cards. We just got sumwars. Red Eclipse will likely be in the repos in a week or two. 0 A.D. looks to be a very promising game. With some effort we could have it in Fedora by the time F18 comes out and the game will possibly be changing from Alpha to Beta around that time. _______________________________________________ games mailing list games&lt; at &gt;lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/games</pre> Bruno Wolff III 2012-03-23T15:46:20 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.games/1282 <pre>Thanks to the effort of Martin Preisler sumwars is now packaged in Fedora. It's currently available in rawhide, F16 testing and F17 testing. Martin also worked with upstream to make the game more easily packagable. _______________________________________________ games mailing list games&lt; at &gt;lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/games</pre> Bruno Wolff III 2012-03-21T21:34:43 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.games/1271 <pre>For anyone looking for something to do, 0 A.D. seems to be something worth packaging. It is similar to Age of Empires (which also makes it a bit like Empire Earth, but it is a lot closer to Age of Empires). It is still alpha, but getting it into Fedora might get them some more testing and possibly contributors. With one very small fix to get it to build with gcc 4.7 (which I reported to upstream 0 A.D., though it's really an nvtt issue), I was able to build it. The game includes a few bundled libraries we don't have in Fedora (at least nvtt and spidermonkey) and uses a more recent version of enet than we have. Some of these may only be needed to develop for the game and not to actually play it. I haven't looked to carefully at this. I'll probably do some chipping away at some of the prerequisites, but have other games to work on, so it won't happen very quickly. _______________________________________________ games mailing list games&lt; at &gt;lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/games</pre> Bruno Wolff III 2012-03-11T02:39:51 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.games/1269 <pre>Summoning Wars 0.5.6 was released yesterday and amoung the listed changes is support for system wide installation.

I just wanted to give you a heads up on the status at the moment, since pretty much all of the issues (mostly legal) discussed then (and several discovered since) are now resolved, AND, the project is currently gearing up for a 1.2 release (delayed from a planned pre-holidays one), which may be an excellent time for packaging it, *hint ;) Also to note, issues with files which are windows/osx-specific are NOT resolved (other than that I've requested them to be purged from the *nix release), but I presume you also practice removing unnecessary bits and repacking tarballs, so it's merely an inconvenience. I have makefile-target style scripts for removing these bits (and splitting to multiple sources for packages) in my current Debian packaging[2], which might be of interest for reference. I have created and suggested a more standard *install* target (named "system-install" in this case)[3], which I presume would make packaging the game for most distributions (Including Fedora) quite a bit more convenient ;) [0] http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-games/2011/03/msg00020.html [1] http://www.redeclipse.net/ https://sourceforge.net/projects/redeclipse/ [2] http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-games/redeclipse.git;a=summary http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-games/redeclipse-data.git;a=summary http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-games/cube2font.git;a=summary (cube2font is somewhat excessively separated out) [3] https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/redeclipse/ticket/95 Happy new year! </pre> Martin Erik Werner 2012-01-01T19:47:53 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.games/1256 <pre>Hello, everyone, I want to present you the new game which could be added to the Fedora repos. Three weeks ago I packaged it and filed a Review Request, which unfortunately didn't get any noticeable reaction. So I want to promote it a little bit. Hope this is not considered as spamming :) Minetest, as you can guess from the title, is the game where you need to mine and build. The specific features of the game are: - code, written in С++ and released under GPLv2+ license - growing extremely fast community of developers and players - very low system requirements - server-side scripting and texturing possibilities. (Server can send the textures to the client) - almost infinite world in all directions - crazy map generator which produces great landscapes with flying islands and magical ruins - public servers, in-game chat - flowing water and lava, growing trees, spawning rats - and don't forget about Dungeon Masters spawning in the dark and shooting fireballs towards the careless miner The official site of the project is here: http://c55.me/minetest/ There are Forum, Wiki, IRC-channel and several public servers. Screenshots thread http://celeron.55.lt/~celeron55/minetest/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=2105#p2105 And the package waiting for review and sponsorship is here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=753513 Any help regarding the review process is highly appreciated. </pre> Aleksandra Bookwar 2011-12-01T21:53:51 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.games/1254 <pre>I just want to run fedora games spin live on my laptop using USB flash disk.

Xonotic is a Nexuiz fork or really the continuation of the original name under a name name http://www.xonotic.org/the-game/faq/ The game is now under a playable stage with many improvements http://www.xonotic.org/2011/09/xonotic-0-5-release/ It bundles the Dark places engine and it is probably better to unbundle it similar to what happened with OpenArena and ioquake but that might require additional effort. I intend to take a look at this later but if anyone wants to get involved, that would be great Rahul </pre> Rahul Sundaram 2011-09-08T09:03:35 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.games/1238 <pre>Hi I have built and pushed the updated for Rawhide and Fedora 16 https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/freedoom-0.7-1.fc16 https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/freedoom-freedm-0.7-1.fc16 I couldn't get the latest snapshot to build under Koji.

I have recently packaged a alternative Doom engine called Chocolate Doom [2] which is a more conservative port that aims to be more compatible with mods. I could package other Doom engines out there including odamex[2], some of them unique. It doesn't make much sense to duplicate the autodownloader related files. Debian has some guidelines [3] What would be the best way to handle this?

Yesterday it came to my attention that monkey-bubble also contains at least 1 sound sample which we should not be re-distributing, as well as various sound samples from unclear origin. This has helped me make up my mind, and unless someone else jumps in to take it over (and fix the sound sample situation) I'm going to orphan it. So anyone want to take over monkey-bubble?

A bug has been filed (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=707165), but I am wondering of vegastrike is working for anyone in either F15 or rawhide.

Fixing the FTBFS shouldn't be a big deal, but if there is a new upstream location, I'd like to point to it. </pre> Bruno Wolff III 2011-06-23T13:03:47 Search the mailing list at Gmane query http://search.gmane.org/?group=$group=gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.games
