linux spring with wine lobby, spring crashes when I use AI

[phoenixz]

Hi there,

I just downloaded, compiled and installed the latest spring (0.74b2) on linux. Spring works great, but there are no enemies to fight.. So I installed spring 0.74b2 for windows under wine, modified the lobby program as follows:

removed the mods, maps AI dirs
removed spring.exe
moved scripts.txt to the data dir of the linux install (that is /usr/share/games/spring)

symlinked the windows mods, maps and AI directories to the linux installation (/usr/share/games/spring again)

suymlinked the windows spring.exe to the linux spring executable ( /usr/share/games/spring/spring)

I added the basic content files, a number of mods (balanced anihilation 4.5, AA 2.2.3, XTA) and downloaded a bunch of maps. All of these, latest versions

With this configuration, spring will start, I can select the maps, mods, etc. The lobby program can start.and when I host a battle, it will actually correctly start the linux spring. So far, great! only still no ai's..

so I wanted to select AI's in the lobby program but it only shows me .dll files. So I symlinked the .so AI files to .dll, to make the lobby think that the AI files are available. That works too, it shows me the AI's now.

I host again a battle, BA, 2 lakes map, I add an AAI bot, and start spring.. I can select a starting point, ready! 3...2...1... boom, and Im back in the lobby..

I have tried EVERY combination, different mods with different maps with different AI's.. nothing works, I always crash back into the lobby program

I can not find any log information. If spring makes log data, does anybody know where I can find it?

and, who can tell me what I did wrong here? Are there any AI problems or that only certain combinations work? I would appreciate any help.

If more info is needed, please let me know

can you try putting the contents of infolog.txt here? And any AAI logs there are you can find in /AI/AAI/logs/, it may be in a similair folder.

running with mod XTA 8.1 and 1 bot with AAI

There are no log files in spring/AI/AAI/log, which was the only log directory I could find...

[AF]

Thats because you appear to be running KAI not AAI

[phoenixz]

Shit, sorry, my bad..

I tried it first with AAI then with KAI.. These are the results from the 2nd attempt..

The first attempt with AAI gave these results:

AAI crashes if it cannot find its datafiles, check if cache/, cfg/, learn/, and log/ directories are present under AI/AAI.

KAIcurrent is broken for now, try 0.11 from here.

[phoenixz]

Checked, all directories are available.. Below is a listing of the AAI dir an all its sub dirs. To me it looks like all is ok here

More then that, its not just only AAI that fails.. ALL AI's fail, while the rest of the game works perfectly. I have tried KAICurrent, KAI0.11, AAI, and lots of other AI's, all crash, complain about config files missing, so that they cant be initialized, etc..

I have done some multiplayer games yesterday though, and although I can't host (probably firewall issue) I can join and play.. its cool!! :)

I'd just also like to practice sometimes against bots, and NONE of the bots are working. If I join a game with bots, BOOM, I get kicked out as well even..

Anybody else a good suggestion?

Im having a similar problem. Not a single ai is working, independent of the map.

[Kloot]

For XTA, you need to rename xtape.cfg to XTAPE.cfg in AI/AAI/cfg/mod/ (though it shouldn't cause a crash if you don't, only the absence of one or more of those directories does).

I do not know why AAI crashes with other mods, or why your other AI's seem to... what does infolog.txt say if you run KAI 0.11 with BA or XTA?

Edit: did you create a symlink from /usr/share/games/spring/script.txt to where you have installed /wine/Spring/script.txt? (The script generated by TASClient textually references the dll's, not the so's, but should work regardless.)

[manored]

Try using the ai KAI-011-mingw-32.dll (name of the file). From the four ais I have now (incluiding another kai) this the only one working. It does some stupid things (makes deep charge launchers in maps winhout water), but also does intelligent things. I my opinion its more challenging than aai.

[hollowsoul]

just to let peep know.
above problem was due to lack of write permissions to where spring was setup

or alternatively multiple datadirs setup via
/etc/spring/datadir

i.e

Code: Select all

$HOME/.spring
/usr/share/games/spring

note:- u may run into problems setting up TASClient & Wine -- Multiple Datadirs, since TASClient doesnt support them. So am require some extra symlinks
