Ubuntu 8.04 tried TGE1.3, 1.4 and 1.5

I have tried to install these version on 8.04 64bit. I got 1.4 run once. Now it tells me no matter what version I install this is what I get:

dtruesdale@E1705:~/downloads/Torque/TorqueDemoLinux-1.4.2/TorqueDemoLinux-1.4.2$ ./runtorque.sh

It worked and now it does not, any ideas? I would like to get this running so I can test it and possibly purchase it for a project I want to create (an RPG game to replace the old Tribes RPG).

Where did you get the 1.4.2 demo? I have the 1.5 one and it seems to be working on my ubuntu 8.04 x86_64 machine

You could also try running the binary by hand without the shell script:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH='pwd'/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
./torqueDemo.bin

EDIT: That 'pwd' should actually be pwd with backticks [the thing below the tilde on a US keyboard], but GG's forums eat backticks.

I get this:

Still no joy.

Is main.cs pointing to the right folder?

Is this the part your talking about in main.cs:

//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Torque Game Engine
// Copyright (C) GarageGames.com, Inc.
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

$defaultGame = "demo";
$displayHelp = false;


//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Support functions used to manage the mod string

Yup. Does demo exist?
#6

Yes I do

I'll bet that you have "." in your PATH and that you're just running it with "torqueDemo.bin" instead of "./torqueDemo.bin".

Take "." out of your PATH. It should never, ever, ever, be there. The archetypal example being that any user can put a program called "ls" in /tmp. When you log in as root and do "cd /tmp; ls", the malicious user just gave themselves root priveleges.

Oh. And to be sure, run torque with "./torqueDemo.bin", whatever.
"'pwd'/torqueDemo.bin" would also be acceptable [backticks again], but pretty pointless.

Tried that and still won't run.

Can you provide the download link for the version you have?

OK, so...

I just tried 1.4 demo and saw the same symptoms you do. I fixed them by just downloading the 1.5 demo and replacing the libraries in 1.4's lib/ with the ones in the equivalent 1.5 demo dir.

Honestly, you might just do better using 1.5 - the 1.5 demo worked instantly for me without any problems at all.

Did you do a root/sudo install or home directory install?

Home dir is fine.

Ok now I get Failed to open main.cs Failed to open game engine.

Did you check that you're running it with "./torqueDemo.bin" and not just "torqueDemo.bin" ?

When I do that I get the other error. I am not sure what the issue is.
#17
08/12/2008 (4:44 pm)
Did you try 1.5 yet?
#18
08/12/2008 (6:46 pm)
Yes this version 1.5.
#19
08/12/2008 (10:59 pm)
OK, this is somewhat frustrating...

Can you please paste the whole terminal view of everything you type in, and what torque says when you try to run it? Same thing as you did in your first post, but this time for 1.5.2 ?
