eduke32 freeze on mouse move

Semper 5

@mitu forgive me but i'm totally new to building and svn and all that jazz. I'm frantically googling now :/

@semper-5 Just - temporarily - modify the scriptmodules/ports/eduke32.sh file from the RetroPie-Setup folder and modify the `sources_eduke32 function from

function sources_eduke32() {
    svn checkout http://svn.eduke32.com/eduke32 "$md_build"
}

to

function sources_eduke32() {
    svn checkout -r 6758 http://svn.eduke32.com/eduke32 "$md_build"
}

then re-build again eduke from the RetroPie setup script menu. Revert the change afterwards, since you'll get errors when you will run the update.

thank you so much!!! but it keeps going to the 6789 revision and resulting with the same error :(

I also wanted to add that I found out what caused this error was after I had run an update to ALL installed packages from the setup menu.

Hm, that's the normal way to update, I don't see why it would affect eDuke32 when it's clear that building it from source is not working right now.
As for the checkout command, I don't have a PI right now to test it, but it should work.

you sir are awesome once again!!

my mistake on the edit of the eduke32.sh. it did eventually point to the right revision.
and I tested it after updating ALL the packages that would normally cause the port to freeze. revision 6758 update from source did the trick :)

thank you SO much. time to kick a$$ and chew bubblegum...

@semper-5 Are you playing with a gamepad only ? How's it working ?
EDIT: don't forget to revert the changes to the eduke32.sh file, otherwise you'll get errors when updating the RP script.

@mitu no no, playing with keyboard and mouse. i don't think I could ever play a FPS properly with a gamepad lol

so far so good. I'm going to start scripting up the expansions now.

NOTE: I should add that when adding the expansions and overwriting the demo with full, eduke32 is very picky to which ones you get. I found a great pack of GRPs including some awesome ones I've never seen before (The Gate) but it would not accept it or the other addons. I HAD to use the GRPs and files from my Megaton Edition software.

Thanks, this worked for me too, the only problem is that with this version now the framerate is low :-/

I had this same problem and the solution worked for me, however the music is now somewhat buggy. When starting or switching a level the new track is muted, and I have to go into the options and disable/re-enable music to get the new track to play. Any potential fix for this would be nice, but it's a minor inconvenience at worst.

VincentGR

@finnbro Yes, I managed to solve the framerate issue and noticed the sound bug.
I did the same trick and worked a couple of days ago.

Now that the new release is out, I'll take a look at this. Maybe just roll back the version. Please feel free to open an issue on our GitHub.

Just want to add that the sound issue is still there in the most current update of the package: in the title screen and at the start of each level you only hear effects and you need to turn off / turn on music in the in-game settings which will then play the music fine - until you transition to a new level and the music is gone again.
I would add this to Github as requested but I am unsure which repository would be the correct one?
