[0.9.9.7|console|Linux] Game won't start: Ubuntu 13.04

<< < (2/2)

Hircon:
That fixed it for console mode thanks!

It still gives the same error if I try to run it without -console though, even with the window resized.

thelaptop:
That is probably related to config.lua.  Look for the line with
Graphics = "TILES"
and change it to
Graphics = "CONSOLE"
and that should make it default to running as a console program, even without the -console flag.

slave:
You really do need a more informative error message for this situation.

thelaptop:
Well, yes and no.  There are three shell scripts that run doomrl using the correct settings (window size 80x25, with the -console flag), but it seems that there are people who don't use those launch scripts to get their version of the game running.  Completely understandable.

Though I think I need to check if the tiles are actually stored in the Linux WADs.  That could be a reason why things are broken.

That's also because Kornel doesn't like to code things to play nice on Linux.  Like that "double-escape" thing that can be fixed with careful choice of terminal control.  >.>
