Orange Pi 5 Build

[ferrellsl]

I was able to create a successful build on the Orange Pi 5 running Ubuntu (https://github.com/Joshua-Riek/ubuntu-orange-pi5) with the following workflow.

1. Install the prerequisites as identified at: https://github.com/nillerusr/source-engine/wiki/Source-Engine-(EN)
2. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/nillerusr/source-engine --recursive --depth 1
3. Move to the source-engine folder: cd source-engine
4. Start the WAF configuration tool: python3 waf configure -T release --64bits
5. If the tool identifies any unmet dependencies that you've missed, install them and re-run the WAF configuration tool until they're all met.
6. Run the WAF compilation tool: python3 waf
7. Install the binaries: sudo python3 waf install

I copied the contents of my Steam hl2 folder into /usr/local/hl2 and then I run the launcher. I'm getting audio and video but no user interface to start/stop/configure the game. I suspect it's due to my gameinfo.txt file not being quite correct but as I'm new to the source-engine, I'm not really sure. If anyone could advise me, I'd appreciate it.

Here are the contents of my gameinfo.txt file:

---

"GameInfo" { game "HALF-LIFE 2" title "HALF-LIFE'" type singleplayer_only supportsvr 1

FileSystem
{
    SteamAppId              220     // This will mount all the GCFs we need (240=CS:S, 220=HL2).

    //
    // The code that loads this file automatically does a few things here:
    //
    // 1. For each "Game" search path, it adds a "GameBin" path, in <dir>\bin
    // 2. For each "Game" search path, it adds another "Game" path in front of it with _<langage> at the end.
    //    For example: c:\hl2\cstrike on a french machine would get a c:\hl2\cstrike_french path added to it.
    // 3. For the first "Game" search path, it adds a search path called "MOD".
    // 4. For the first "Game" search path, it adds a search path called "DEFAULT_WRITE_PATH".
    //

    //
    // Search paths are relative to the base directory, which is where hl2.exe is found.
    //
    // |gameinfo_path| points at the directory where gameinfo.txt is.
    // We always want to mount that directory relative to gameinfo.txt, so
    // people can mount stuff in c:\mymod, and the main game resources are in
    // someplace like c:\program files\valve\steam\steamapps\half-life 2.
    //
    SearchPaths
    {
        // First, mount all user customizations.  This will search for VPKs and subfolders
        // and mount them in alphabetical order.  The easiest way to distribute a mod is to
        // pack up the custom content into a VPK.  To "install" a mod, just drop it in this
        // folder.
        //
        // Note that this folder is scanned only when the game is booted.
        game+mod            hl2/custom/*

        // We search VPK files before ordinary folders, because most files will be found in
        // VPK and we can avoid making thousands of file system calls to attempt to open files
        // in folders where they don't exist.  (Searching a VPK is much faster than making an operating
        // system call.)
        game_lv             /usr/local/hl2/hl2_lv.vpk
        game+mod            /usr/local/hl2/hl2_sound_vo_english.vpk
        game+mod            /usr/local/hl2/hl2_pak.vpk
        game                |all_source_engine_paths|/usr/local/hl2/hl2_textures.vpk
        game                |all_source_engine_paths|/usr/local/hl2/hl2_sound_misc.vpk
        game                |all_source_engine_paths|/usr/local/hl2/hl2_misc.vpk
        platform            |all_source_engine_paths|/usr/local/platform/platform_misc.vpk

        // Now search loose files.  We'll set the directory containing the gameinfo.txt file
        // as the first "mod" search path (after any user customizations).  This is also the one
        // that's used when writing to the "mod" path.
        mod+mod_write+default_write_path        |gameinfo_path|.

        // Add the HL2 directory as a game search path.  This is also where where writes
        // to the "game" path go.
        game+game_write     /usr/local/hl2

        // Where the game's binaries are
        gamebin             /usr/local/hl2/bin

        // Last, mount in shared HL2 loose files
        game                |all_source_engine_paths|hl2
        platform            |all_source_engine_paths|platform
    }
}

}

And some screenshots from my Pi 5 after running the launcher

Made a bit more progress. I edited my gameinfo.txt file and changed this line:

game+mod hl2/custom/*

to this:

game+mod /usr/local/hl2/custom/*

I can launch a game now by playing with the arrow keys and pressing Enter, but the user interface is messed up. See below.

And here are some shots of in-game play:

OK, solved the issue. I just needed to copy the other folders from my Steam/HalfLife2 folder over to /usr/local

The missing folders were platform, steam-input, and the sub-folders: filters, motionmappertemplates, and the various other files from the Steam hl2/bin folder, minus the x86 DLL's and EXE files.

I'm getting between 35 and 45 fps as shown in the upper right corner of this screenshot. Sorry the text is so small.

Go ahead and close this issue as everything is working fine now.

nah, u forget to copy platform :trollface: and use --prefix=/path/ instead of /usr/local/
