[opensuse] Descent 3 on OpenSUSE 13.2 x64?
Yesterday I found the descent 3 (linux version) install disk languishing among my music collection and i have managed to install and patch the game to v1.4b. When I attempt to execute /usr/local/bin/descent3 I receive the error "Descent 3 Message(Error: Illegal font file: lohud.fnt. ) System Error" I have searched the web for solutions but the only suggested resolution is a reinstall and that was for the Microsoft Windows version - never the less I did try reinstalling and tried running the game with no patches applied but received the same error message Has anyone on this list run the game on OpenSUSE 13.2 (or a recent linux distro), and has anyone ever come across a font file with the name "lohud.fnt"? I thought it might be fun to play the game over the weekend but it looks as though I could spend the time trying to fix this issue rather than playing the game...I'd appreciate any advice as I'm stumped for a solution. regards Phil Vossler "......sooner or later that day comes and you can't hide from the things that you've done anymore."

Hi Philip, sorry, reading the list only now and then... Did you get it to work? Philip Vossler wrote:

Yes, it's running fine here. On the system, there is no lohud.fnt file, which means it must be in the .hog files of the game. Here's an ls -l of the game directory - maybe you can compare and see if the sizes differ? snoopy:descent3% l total 213936 drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 554 Nov 28 2012 ./ drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 54 Nov 28 2012 ../ drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 54 Apr 21 2010 custom/ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 194030423 Apr 21 2010 d3.hog -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11749941 Nov 28 2012 d3-linux.hog -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 290 Apr 21 2010 Dedicated.cfg drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 32 Apr 21 2010 demo/ -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3427284 Nov 28 2012 descent3* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2890856 Nov 28 2012 descent3.dynamic* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 278329 Apr 21 2010 extra13.hog -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 476566 Apr 21 2010 extra.hog -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7839 Apr 21 2010 FAQ.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6966 Apr 21 2010 icon.bmp -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8930 Apr 21 2010 icon.xpm -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 201246 Apr 21 2010 imd.bmp -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 264781 Nov 28 2012 libsmpeg-0.4.so.0.1.3* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 288540 Nov 28 2012 libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so* drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 38 Nov 28 2012 .manifest/ drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 180 Apr 21 2010 missions/ drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 212 Nov 28 2012 netgames/ -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 41524 Apr 21 2010 nettest* drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 72 Apr 21 2010 online/ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5611278 Apr 21 2010 ppics.hog lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Nov 28 2012 PPics.Hog -> ppics.hog -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7172 Apr 21 2010 README -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5832 Nov 28 2012 README-1.4.0b -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3055 Apr 21 2010 README.mercenary drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 72 Apr 21 2010 tmp_movies/ -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 664 Nov 28 2012 uninstall*

Good luck! But somehow I always liked 1+2 better anyhow ;^> Pit -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
