Solved: Rtskit 1.5.2 For Linux

by Arjan Gelderblom · in RTS Starter Kit · 06/29/2008 (7:04 am) · 5 replies

Hi Everybody,

After a long time being away from both GarageGames.com and the RTSKit I thought it would be fun to pick it up again. So to my big suprise I saw that the RTSKit 1.5.2 was released! Oh yeah! But I can only see downloads for Windows & Mac but not for Linux as that download is still the 1.0 file!

Do I miss something? Or do I have to migrate a one of those other downloads to a Linux version! I don't have access to a Windows installation right now, I hope not to have to install a Windows somewhere just to start developing with the 1.5.2 version of the RTSKit!

Hope someone can help me out!

Thanks in advance,

Arjan Gelderblom

I've got it compiling:

Simply download the files for the MAC and then patch it using this patch below:

Nice.

How is the performance under linux?

Metrics(fps) show me the following framerates:
fps between 35 and 45 and msfps around 30!

Don't know exactly what msfps means, but performance seems to be OK...

Movement of units fails, but that is no problem for me as I'm trying to implement the immersiveAI RTS-port.

I tried this, but it fails when ... apparently its hard coded to work on INTEL and not AMD CPUs.

I'm trying to download the LINUX (.bin) version and see if I can make any sense of all this ... why would it work on AMD CPU (Windows) but not LINUX ??

Of course, this only works under 32 bit linux ... running on a INTEL x86 CPU.

No surprise, but forums suggest 64 bit linux isn't supported -- nor are AMD cpu's without changing the types.gcc.h manually to bypass it.
