Spring RTS Engine

Hello!

I am currently running Spring 0.79.1.2 under Ubuntu 9.04 with all the latest updates from Spring / Springlobby. When I launch a singleplayer or multiplayer game with BA V6.95, CA 5122, or XTA, the game crashes / hangs indefinitely on the screen Loading LuaRules just before the final screen Loading LuaUI. I have not installed any additional Lua Widgets, this is a recent clean install of Spring. When searching under SpringSettings for the button 'Enable LuaUI' in expert settings, I cannot find the button (I cannot find it under the Windows version of SpringSettings either). However, the games works with BA V6.21 though the continual error message LuaUI failed to load spams the screen, even after the /luaui disable command. I am unsure how to troubleshoot this error, is there a problem with Spring? Or do I need additional Lua packages for Linux?

Thanks in advance,
Gob

V6.21 is very old, it might not work with current release.
Download the latest version from spring.jobjol.nl.
If that fails, then post the infolog.txt from your spring dir.

The game only works with V6.21, not any of the newer versions.

did u find any solution? i have exact same settings and same problem. thanks

hey!

I have the same problem, so I figured out it will be the best place to post. I've installed the newest version avail + some maps and CA mod. Game freezes loading LuaUI stuff.
This is infolog.txt part regarding lua:

[ 0] Loading LuaRules
[ 0] Doesn't count initialized
[ 0] LUARULES-DRAW (GADGETS)
[ 0] Failed to load: unit_self_destruct.lua ([string "LuaRules/actions.lua"]:48: attempt to index field 'ghInfo' (a nil value))
[ 0] Doesn't count initialized

I was really looking forward to get back to spring after one year break (back then I was playing it on windows), so every bit of help will be really appreciated.

PS. full infolog in attachment section

Best regards!

Could be a spring problem. Not sure. Infolog doesn't give further info.

The failed load refers to an disabled gadget and can be safely ignored.

If you play against AIs try Chicken. Afaik no other ais are known to work well in CA.
Or play online.
