Where can I find appropriate game assets?

[shamazmazum]

Hello. Can I or can I not use data files downloaded from Steam with these sources? I have installed the game from FreeBSD port (version 1.002.22). The game starts and crashes after a few seconds (showing some startup cinematic). I suspect that the assets are from another version.

Do you maintain the game on Steam? Can you tell is there any difference?

Steam, gog, humble, ambrosia, whatever version based on 1.1 will work. Some files were updated later but those are included in the repo. (The very first windows-only 1.0 release comes with packaged data, but this version is long obsolete.)

Crash is weird. It checks some data files directly at startup before even opening the window, so if it passes that then something else is up. Paste your debug.log plz.

Seems like a packaging issue, maybe @jbeich can help?

Do you maintain the game on Steam?

No, and i doubt it'll ever receive an update. I have no idea who maintains the steam version.

Can you tell is there any difference?

Difference between what? Don't understand the question.

I've only tested game data from HIB version for Linux (see pkg-message). Still works fine here: played on FreeBSD 13.0 amd64 and within 11.3 i386 jail for a few minutes.

Some news. The game is crashing because I have ru_RU.UTF-8 locale set and override/locales/ru/data/stringbank.txt is definitely is NOT unicode. This is something FTGL cannot handle correctly. After setting english locale I have this (white boxes follow the mouse pointer):

Sadly, I am not acquainted with legacy OpenGL, so I cannot help here. Seems like textures are not bound while rendering or something like that. BTW, I use amdgpu driver + mesa 19.0.8 + sway + SDL2

I have received the following letter on my email:

    I use amdgpu driver + mesa 19.0.8 + sway + SDL2

    SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland should work fine but may not respect keyboard layout set in Sway
    graphics/mesa-devel can be installed (in addition to mesa-dri) to check for OpenGL driver bugs (unlikely)

    My log:

Looks incomplete. After Init Input Library Aquaria should start loading game assets. Try removing ~/.Aquaria.

Strange, I do not see the same reply here. Maybe it was removed for some reason. Firstly, other games work fine, ergo SDL is fine. Secondly, I have just checked aquaria on another computer that runs X. Sadly, result is the same. Can you show me a correct log? Would be a nice starting point for searching for bugs. I still suspect game assets)

White boxes means it doesn't find textures. Pretty sure it's not a driver problem on your end; that's just what the game does. Ok, so this means some data files are found but textures are not. weird. Try compiling the code yourself and drop the resulting binary next to the windows Aquaria.exe, and don't forget to update script files with those from the repo. If that doesn't work i dunno. Bonus points if you can get me the file+line where it crashes with your locale problem.

debug.log (LANG unset)

I can reproduce. It crashes after intro movies in main menu. uchardet says WINDOWS-1251 but using LANG=ru_RU.CP1251 doesn't make a difference.

Hurra, it works! The game is not fool-proof enough. I thought I need only data directory from the original game and skipped gfx, vox etc. Hence the absence of textures. I fixed that and also removed override/locales to avoid crashes.

Thanks for helping me. Also do you thing re-encoding translations to UTF-8 is a good idea? I think UTF-8 is now mainstream on UNIX-like OSes, but Windows is stuck somewhere in y2k regarding unicode support. Also I don't know if FTGL has a support for Unicode.

[fgenesis]

Aquaria does not understand utf-8 at all. Don't do it.

Neither the game itself does (path handling just happens to work, or not, i have no idea), nor the external libs (fonts, most notably).

Duh. Ok, will improve the README for the next version update (still got a few things to merge first)...

That's bad, but not critical. OK, I close the issue as the problem is solved. Thanks!
