@1Feanor can you please provide a full dir (or ls on linux?) of your share folder?

1Feanor commented 1 year ago

I know I have doubled folders, but I was trying to make it work. sorry for the mess this is the flatpak loading folder

distro is POP os

not sure how it works on linux - on windows this is the saved games folder and not where the game files are (e.g. where the s25client is located and the RTTR folder(s)).

If this is the correct folder on linux, you have to copy the DATA and GFX folders there, not an s2 folder

1Feanor commented 1 year ago

I have reading a lot about the this because it looks to be a problem that keeps appearing in several folders that some people claim that is fixed with an update from time to time. so not sure what is causing the problem

also from the path of the error Failed to load "/home/ao/.s25rttr/S2/GFX/PALETTE/PAL5.BBM" I can use explorer or terminal to access the file no problem the game loader cannot

1Feanor commented 1 year ago

Managed to get to load the game finally.

flatpak installation from POP os app store does not work under any circumstance.

A fresh installation managed to resolve the issue but requires that the S2 folder is put in 2 places.

one in the root folder of the game and another inside ./share/S25rttr

@Flow86 @Flamefire any Ideas? I got none :s

Flamefire commented 1 year ago

Failed to load "/home/ao/.s25rttr/S2/GFX/PALETTE/PAL5.BBM" I can use explorer or terminal to access the file no problem the game loader cannot

Then it looks like a permission issue.

This hints that whoever build your RttR made a mistake. I can't see how this can happen with the "normal" builds.

Also there seems to be 2 errors as you wrote:

Failed to load "/home/ao/s25rttr_20220922/share/s25rttr/S2/GFX/PALETTE/PAL5.BBM"

and

Failed to load "/home/ao/.s25rttr/S2/GFX/PALETTE/PAL5.BBM"

Maybe you are mixing up different installations.

1Feanor commented 1 year ago

you are correct I had a mix up. I was trying several installations in tandem I will try the flatpak again and change the permission settings and run it again just to confirm. At first I tough flatpak was not installing the correct loading libraries so I have been trying several solutions

Spikeone commented 1 year ago

@1Feanor so, this issue can be closed, can it?

Spikeone commented 6 months ago

Closing since there has been no response since over a year.
