Daedalos 11 years ago Not sure where to start for Zero-K as the installer is for Ubuntu. The SlackBuilds version of Spring is 95 http://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.1/games/spring/ Now that I have found out that ZeroK is not using 95 I am thankful that I waited to install it. Could someone give me some advice on how to install. Thanks! +0 / -0
Dessard 11 years ago You will need to install Spring 91, which should have builds on the Spring main site and also has source here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/springrts/files/springrts/spring-91.0/spring_91.0_src.tar.gz/download Then use Springlobby to download ZK by joining any ZK room. Alternately, you could use NotaLobby, which handles multiple engines and is generally pretty nice, but is closed-source if that's a problem. +0 / -0
TheSponge 11 years ago Go to the download page and read the alternate linux instructions. Try downloading one of those static builds and putting it in ~/.spring/engine/91.0. There is a problem with that static build and it will not start, but this is because the spring executable does not have permission to run as a program. Once you set it to have permission to execute (-x with chmod) it should work fine. If you get the font error ask in #zk, someone will know how to fix it. If all that does not work you could try the compile instructions, obviously replacing things like apt-get with whatever is used in Slackware (I wrote it for ubuntu). +1 / -0
[DDAM]aiphee 11 years ago (edited 11 years ago) You are using one of most hardcore distributions and you dont have a time to search through forum? :-D Just place static build from http://springweblobby.googlecode.com/files/spring_91.0_portable_linux_amd64.zip in ~/.spring/engine(s) And run Zero-k lobby, (prettier)NOTA Lobby or weblobby +0 / -0
Daedalos 11 years ago :D Slackware is awesome. Been with it quite a long time, and would not choose anything over it. I did search the forum, and found a few posts regarding Suse, and Ubuntu. Also to be honest... I posted this at work when I was unable to do anything with my machine :D Thanks for all of the help I will see if I can get things rolling. As far as the Zero-K lobby... Either I am going to have to build it from Source or build one of the others from source. Guess I will see how it goes. +0 / -0
[DDAM]aiphee 11 years ago You dont need to build anything if Slackware have mono binaries, you just run the exe. Or download NOTALobby which is also precompiled and written in C++ and QT. +0 / -0
