Renegade x mac/linux client[version 0.2 is live]

Zeek · March 26, 2014

Well I got as far as loading the intros, but as soon as I get to the main menu(which doesn't appear) I get a new even worse looking error....

I'm thinking this is the beta driver screaming at me....

Absolly · March 26, 2014

yes this definitely looks like something that has yet to be patched, hope someone online made a patch for it

I'm also using a beta version of wine too >_>... So I might install wine1.6 tomorrow and try my luck with that since it's a little more stable as well...

Side note, I found more people with the new error, found a couple more fixes as well.

Edit: If I EVER get this working, I'll probably try and get a PlayOnLinux wrapper(idk what they call it now) setup and post it here so it'll be less of a hassle installing it.

Absolly · March 26, 2014

i wonder what causes the white bg glitch on launcher i have intel hd graphics so i can't use the ati drivers to fix it

also when running the laucher.jar directly from osx i don't get the white bg problem but of course i can't run the game from there

Is this on OSX or Linux? Also, as far as I know, aren't Intel drivers on Linux open-source ones anyways?

Absolly · March 26, 2014

this is on osx

Zeek · March 27, 2014

this is on osx

Can you send me what wine complains about when you load the launcher and I'll compare it with mine, now that it's normal.

Also, with playonlinux, I got it working almost perfectly.... The launcher doesn't work worth crap(I don't think I installed everything for it to work yet). However, I can get into the game, but the size of the window isn't quite right and whatever I change inside the .ini file just changes the size of the game inside the game window instead of making the window bigger... If I try and drag a corner for the game, it works for a second and the game freezes and dies..(no log from POL either..) This was all just before I left work, so I'll get back to that tomorrow and try my luck some more. I'm just glad I got into the game and the FPS was about 30!

Edit: My laptop has an Intel graphics just like yours, I might put Linux on there for a bit and see if I can debug it a bit there as well.

Edit2: After installing a ton of .NET crap...and waiting forever, I got the launcher to appear properly on POL in a VM.. So try doing winetricks dotnet35 dotnet40. Then download .NET 4.5 and install that as well. http://download.microsoft.com/download/ ... 86_x64.exe <--- Link for 4.5. http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... &iId=25478 <-- Instructions on installing 4.5. Don't know about launching the game yet, the VM doesn't seem to like 3D to much, so I'll have to wait till tomorrow.

nvm i seem to have fixed the launcher in my attempt to get the unofficial launcher to run just didn't realize yet

i think dotnet45 fixed it for me

Zeek · March 27, 2014

Just a quick note, make sure you use the latest winetricks version... The one ubuntu provides is fairly old and I didn't realize this and might have lost a few hairs because of it >_>....

For reference, ubuntu provides version 2013#### and the latest is 2014####. If you do not have the 2014 version, dotnet installs will not install properly....

Absolly · March 27, 2014

yea on mac you can just click update winetricks on the bottom left corner of the wineskin window

Zeek · March 27, 2014

Well, I'm throwing in the towel for now, I don't know what I did, but I only got to the menu screen once and haven't been able to get there ever since then... A lot of fingers point at AMD/ATI cards, however, from what I see, it's more a .NET problem... (could be a problem with the version of wine for Ubuntu as well).

So, they said there's a lot of new gaming updates coming in 1.7, so once 1.7 gets streamlined into the stable repo, I'll take another stab at this. There's just to many things going against UT3/AMD at the moment.

One last thing though, for some reason after some point I had to do

 winetricks d3dx11_43

because it said it was missing. I'm not sure what made it want that DX file, but it didn't need it when I started this whole adventure..

Edit: So as it turns out, after wine 1.7 there was a serious regression somewhere and prevented UDK from launching anymore and anything below 1.5 does not allow it to launch either(and if it does it'll utterly fail in the end)... I have gone up to 1.6.2 and it seems to launch and will load. However, it's in windowed mode and refuses to go any bigger without freezing up and dieing(however if you change the settings in the game it trys harder to survive).

Zeek · March 28, 2014

Okay, after reinstalling my FGLRX driver(I uninstalled because it was bugging me and I have the beta version because of my ubuntu version...).

I present a fully working(ish) version on Ubuntu 13.10 with POL and Wine 1.6.2(I will post details in a new post on how I got this far....

Note: I did not install .NET 4.5, it broke a lot more than it fixed, so you'll have to deal with white text on the launcher for now... I'm still looking into what 4.5 is providing that is fixing the white text deal...

Absolly · March 28, 2014

great job on that, now renegade x should be playable on mac and linux!

if you post the details i will put them in the main post so everyone can easily find them

Zeek · March 28, 2014

DO NOT FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS YET, STILL WRITING THEM UP!

Just an fyi, just link to this post in the main thread instead of copying it there, that way it won't make the main thread to long .

Installing Renegade X

Prerquisites:

Latest version of the linux distro version you are using or at least within a couple major versions.

Proprietary Video Drivers (nVidia people might be okay with opensource, but it you get weird coloring and a ton of errors, you probably need to install them). Intel people, this game may or may not work for you, if you have a i5-i7, you'll probably be okay.

Latest PlayOnLinux (Latest as of this post is 4.2.2) - Use your distro's way to install it.

Must meet the Mininum Requirements for playing UT3 (if not the recommended ones)

Now that you got playonlinux ready to go, now we can get to business.
Open up POL and click configure
Once in there, hit New
Then name it whatever.
Now in the main post it says to install some things with winetricks, I have my own list to give you, refer to the list below this.

Components

dxfullsetup
Microsoft Core Fonts
msxml3
All the vcrun200#

Zeek · March 29, 2014

If someone who has Playonlinux/Playonmac(I think this is the same as POL) could you guys test this script out? I've also included the config file that I am using on my laptop at the moment.

Copy the config file to drive_c/Program Files/Renegade X/UDKGame/Config/. Do this before you launch Renegade.

I had a few bugs in a previous version, please make sure you get the latest version of this script.

Thanks!

Edit: Here is a screenshot of a game on my laptop, runs about 20-25fps. Which is pretty average since on windows that's about the same I get for another UT3 engine game I have. In all, the intel display driver handles UT3 a lot better than the radeon driver. AKA, I can resize the window and nothing crashes most of the time.

I don't understand how to install on my mac, please help!

Absolly · March 29, 2014

I don't understand how to install on my mac, please help!

first you download the game normally - link in main post

then you download my wrapper -link in main post

extract the Renegade X 0.2.7z

then right click on the extracted wrapper and click "show package contents"

open wineskin

click "install software"

select the renegade x setup EXE

follow the install normally

afterwards go into advanced in wineskin

and in windows EXE insert or browse to: /Program Files/Renegade X/Renegade X.exe

to fix the white text glitch in the launcher, go to the tools tab and click winetricks

search for: fontsmooth=rgb

check the box and click run

when it says "winetricks commands finished!!"

click close

now you can start the app and the renegade launcher will show up

Got the program to open! The text is fixed!

Keep getting stuck on the "powered by unreal technology thing"

Can't get a crash report. I tried on 1.6.2 ... no luck

make sure the launcher is closed so wine can see the program has quit then you should get a log

post the log here so i can see what is going on

I have a feeling you get the same problem that I was experiencing on linux, it probably doesn't like starting in FullScreen.

(Absolly could tell you where to find drive_c, I don't use Mac, so I can't say for sure where wineskin puts it.)

Go to drive_c/Program Files/Renegade X/UDKGame/Config/ and edit the UDKSystemSettings.ini with any text editor. Search for FullScreen, should be in the top 20-30 lines or so. Change the value to false and then try starting the game again.

Renegade X 0.2 can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Never mind, under system settings>>Security

arnyswart · March 31, 2014

These error messages crop up. It works by renaming the initial movie file to get rid of the intro movie at the beginning of the game but you need to go ok to each of these messages to get in game.

Any fix for that?

As far as the error msg goes, it'll just keep popping up at big events(going into a new game or going to the main menu). I had the same thing as well. You can just press the enter key as soon as it pops up and it'll go away till you go back to the menu or change a major screen. Not sure what's causing it as I saw nothing wrong in the logs and it doesn't affect the gameplay at all.

THANKS SO MUCH DUDE THIS WORKED =D

Ropemaker · April 29, 2014

Hey, I'm a noob at installing ports, and I can see you're very busy, but I get stuck in the instructions where it says "select renegade x" after "Install Software". I only get a "choose executable" option, and when I hit that, then the .exe I got from the main site, It says it has to be in the C:/ drive. So I copied it into the C drive, that I got to from the shortcut within the extracted .app… but then I can't find it? It only gives me the option to select a .exe from anywhere on my mac except the renegade.app package???

How do I into renegade?

Thanks for all your help!

it doesn't have to be inside the c drive, you might have accedentely pressed browse instead of install that is all i can think off

So I've tried downloading the wrapper, however every time i do, the Wineskin won't function.

It's very annoying, and i have tried replacing it with a fresh one, however everything seems to be going wrong, as i've not been able to get past the launch menu, i can view servers, but i can't join any or go to the in game menu, and i'm pretty it's because of the wineskin.

Anyone else having this problem?
