Game won't start!

Post by Arca »

I had sound problems a while ago, managed to sort it, then my computer decided to stop working so I got it fixed and had to reinstall FC4. I downloaded the same OpenTTD (0.4.0.1) but now it doesn't work. I've tried compiling it but the same thing happens.

Code: Select all

[liam@localhost openttd-0.4.0.1]$ ./openttd

[liam@localhost openttd-0.4.0.1]$
It just freezes. I've left it for 5 minutes and it just doesn't do anything... Here are my files, just in case I'm missing anything:

Code: Select all

[liam@localhost openttd-0.4.0.1]$ ls
changelog.txt  data            lang     readme.txt  scenario
COPYING        known-bugs.txt  openttd  save        strgen

[liam@localhost data]$ ls
autorail.grf  openttd.grf   signalsw.grf  trghr.grf  trkfoundw.grf
canalsw.grf   opntitle.dat  trg1r.grf     trgir.grf
dosdummy.grf  sample.cat    trgcr.grf     trgtr.gr

[liam@localhost lang]$ ls
american.lng              english.txt    italian.lng     romanian.lng
brazilian_portuguese.lng  finnish.lng    latvian.lng     slovak.lng
catalan.lng               french.lng     lithuanian.lng  spanish.lng
czech.lng                 galician.lng   norwegian.lng   swedish.lng
danish.lng                german.lng     origveh.lng
dutch.lng                 hungarian.lng  polish.lng
english.lng               icelandic.lng  portuguese.lng

[liam@localhost save]$ ls
autosave

[liam@localhost autosave]$ ls

[liam@localhost scenario]$ ls
Linkgame Islands 2004.scn  Mountain Pass.scn  Volcano City.scn
There are no hidden files.

I've checked bugs and there are no "known bugs", I've looked through the readme, &c. &c. Does anyone know how to fix this? I want a game :cry:

EDIT: BBCode tags are rebelling

Can you fork the output of running with the line paremeters -d 9 to a file, and then upload it?

Also do other SDL apps work?

Well seeing as the last line is "dbg: Loading drivers..." I guess it is a problem there. Try running with -m null -s null, and if that doesn't work SDL is probably broken, so try some other SDL apps to see if they work.

Great work luca!

Weird though cause OTTD should crash (0.4.0.1) with an error message if it can't find any soundcards/drivers.
