What about this one to port? GRIDWARS!

retropi19

here are building instructions
https://github.com/mmatyas/GridWars

cyperghost

@retropi19 I think you did not read the thread I've posted ;) I know how to run this but it's a choppy build. So maybe you both can make it work?

retropi19

@cyperghost install xorg and run it with eg startx gridwars or whatever the name is

also try gridwars --help to get the list of available commands
and reduce resolution/graphics quality dont run it at full hd res
as i see from your post the game is a pain to make it work good luck
what raspberry pi do you have 2 or 3?

Trying to make an assault cube server but im trying to do it from source and not from the downloaded files since the files are dated from 2013 and the source from 2018
are there any instructions about?
all the info i can find online is only by build from the download files :

AssaultCube_v1.2.0.2.source.tar.bz2
AssaultCube_v1.2.0.2.tar.bz2

@retropi19 I usually just use cmake and make and if the source ports has building instructions for linux/source, i just follow that instead.

Some source ports relies directly on OpenGL and can therefore not be run on a Raspberry Pi. Take for example GZDoom which is the OpenGL version of ZDoom.

Let me look into Captain Claw and see if i can find out what i did.

@tpo1990 thanks do i follow the original info to build the server from here for example after i git clone the repository or i change something?
since i get the files with git and not with wget

Nevermind i will make the server normal too much mind breaking

thanks for claw

@retropi19 said in Suggestions for ports:

this scripts are made for retropie if and when they become available you will have the change to install them from there, now if you want a specific port i can give it to you

Did you mean chance to install them? Do you have plans to push them into the official retropie repo?

retropi19

tpo1990 can push them for me since i dont know the way,any specific port you want?

@retropi19 the best way it will be to send the install scripts to @tpo1990 and he will know what to do😁

I might have an idea on how to do it since i did need to learn it the hard way on how to use github and how to make a pull request from RetroPie setup git repository that i forked from. I did it first for Hexen 2 and now all that is left is to merge my pull request into the RetroPie setup git repository, so that it will be an official part of RetroPie ;-)

My big surprise is now ready. Return to Castle Wolfenstein is ready for the RetroPie community to try out. See in the other topic: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/22554/return-to-castle-wolfenstein-iortcw-source-port
