Linux v6 beta test

[Loriel]

• The font used by the game, like for chat and nicknames, is apparently not available for me, so I get an ugly oversized default font that flows out of buttons and everything. I have a bunch of "File download: blah.ttf not found" messages for tahoma, bitstream vera sans, bitstream vera sansbd in the log.
• I cannot use shift and alt for keybindings.
• I cannot paste into any controls by middleclicking.
• Especially in the presence of the window manager using sloppy focus, it would be very handy if the game pretended I released all keys when the main window loses focus.

Edit: I guess it found tahoma on login2, that did not seem to do anything though.

Yes it's doing that in the new version, which will be released in a few days.

It might make sense to include libfmod-3.75.so in the client, as that version does not appear to be available through the fmod website anymore (nor any Ubuntu packages that include the name 'fmod').

• When I use < as a key binding, < is not actually shown in the list of keys, and it is also not remembered on the next startup of Graal. When I click below the last entry in the list of keys, I get prompted to enter a key for function "0" which promptly disappears again when I comply.
• Graal will not play sound if something else is playing sound while I start Graal. If I start Graal with nothing else playing any sounds, Graal will not let anything else play any sounds anymore until I close it again.

Gentoo amd64 on a dell vostro 1500, using alsa for sound and proprietary nvidia drivers, openbox and xcompmgr, for the record.

Does this happen when you play a video and music in two different apps at the same time, not just Graal?

Nope.

Clicking any link in the Events News window appears to open firefox instead of the default browser.

[Umat]

That's weird. Do you have multiple sound-mixers installed or just alsa? I used to have this problem because my soundcard didn't support hardware sound-mixing so I had to fix this software-wise. I think I had to switch to ESD or something.

Though, some apps had to run OSS which made it impossible for any other app to play any sound while any of those apps were running.

[Loriel]

I am pretty sure I just have alsa running. I am guessing fmod does something funny with OSS, meh.

My v6 is in my home folder. When I create a link to it on my desktop, it looks like the picture. It doesn't display guiblue files either.

By the home folder do you mean it's in ~/ or ~/.graal/graal4/? I believe it has to be in your graal root directory to work but I could be wrong.

Edit: Nevermind, It works fine for me out of the graal root directly.

Edit2: Does the launcher look anything like this?

How are you making the "link"?

[Zeke_iPhoneGP]

I just right clicked on the .exe file and hit 'create link' for version 6...

Right click on the desktop and click on Create Launcher then browse for the executable and see if that works instead.

Edit: If that fails you could try and create a shell script on the desktop to execute the V6 Client.

PHP Code:

#!/bin/sh

 cd ~/.graal/graal4/

 exec ~/.graal/graal4/Graal 


[Zeke_iPhoneGP]

Yep, that worked. I thought I tried that before though... ... Creating the launcher did.
