Blake Stone - BStone source port

RussellB

@ExarKuniv Thanks. Unfortunately my Linux development skills are not the same as my Windows development skills so reviewing the code I'm a bit lost. Is ther a pre-compiled binary for RPI3/4 1.1.6 somewhere available for download?

Ok, now learned how to cmake and make under Linux. :-)

Just confirming that compiling 1.1.16 and using that works on the RPI4 for Both Aliens of Gold and Planet Strike.

@RussellB nice, you are on the way on having more fun.

go here.
there is a bunch of different ports that you can install now that you know cmake and make.

i will be updating my post with how to get the latest version going. i just have been a little lazy the past week or so

@ExarKunIv If he has updated his port to a newer version it might break the compatibility with the Pi since the scriptmodule pulls/clones straight from his git repository. Let me see if I get the same result and if the latest version doens't work, then I will look into building a solution.

@RussellB Nice, that's how I started out with Linux and Raspberry Pi since I wanted to see what other ports could be run a single board computer such as the Pi. Just keep on learning and eventually you will get there like me. Thanks :-)

@tpo1990 the newest version still works on the pi3 just fine. but the auto select for the video drivers is broken for the Pi.

so you need to make a config file called bstone_config.txt

and have this in it

vid_renderer "software"

and you have to drop it into /home/pi/.local/share/bibendovsky/bstone

once there is will start just fine.

i know i should of updated a while ago, i just got a little lazy. sorry

Testing that out and will let you know. Whoo hoo. I already have a bstone_config.txt file that says at the top WARNING! This is auto-generated file. Still ok to modify?

I got Hurrican working nicely on the RPI4!

Ouch... recompiled from source and broke the current version and when I reverted back to 1.1.16 it is now broken. Apogee splash screen comes up, then bus error. Debug time.

Never saw this before and it was working!

ALSA lib pcm.c:8424:(snd_pcm_recover) underrun occurred

RussellB

Got 1.2.8 working! Added "vid_renderer" line to a now empty bstone_config.txt and it works... I was able to go into settings and change it to full screen!

RussellB

FYI... 1.2.8 vs. 1.1.16 requires UPPER CASE for the game files. 1.1.16 was case in-sensitive. I can confirm both work now in 1.2.8.
