Hello there!
As you're porting my favorite PC shooter... thanks a lot!!!!
I have some doubts about OpenTyrian, not clarified in the README file:
Will it be compatible with OpenTyrian 2000 data files?
Will it be compatible with 64 bits (linux) systems?

Will it be compatible with OpenTyrian 2000 data files? We hope so. We don't have the 2000 source, so it'll take a bit more work than being compatible with 2.x data files.  Will it be compatible with 64 bits (linux) systems? I can't think of any reason that it wouldn't. |

Great!
About the 64 bits part, it doesn't seems to be compatible now (ubuntu amd64).
The first intro screen is corrupted and the game crashes after showing it. It doesn't happens on my other PC (debian i386).

Perhaps you could compile with debugging info and post a backtrace... however, the IRC channel would be best for that. If not, I'll have to kill my Windows partition and install a 64-bit distro.  |

Firstly: Questions end in a ?
Second: It isn't done yet.

Third: Go on our website and checkout a copy.
Fourth: It will work on the enchanched port. Right now the code only works on 32-bit little-endian processors/OSes.

Mindless, here you have a backtrace. As I said, the program breaks just after the fade out effect.
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

The ?? frames last forever. Looks like something broke the stack . Well, after reading the Fourth Rule I supose that I should wait for the enchanched version . I understand your choice, believe me. Please, drop me a line if you want some help with 64bits testing/debugging/coding/whatever sometime. |

The classic port mostly only works on little endian 32-bit becuase the original Tyrian only worked on little endian 32-bit. =P

Mindless, here you have a backtrace. As I said, the program breaks just after the fade out effect. Any chance you could hop onto the IRC channel some time? (#tyrian on irc.freenode.net) I think you may have bad data files, since I don't understand how it can crash there. (You need the files from version 2.x) However, it *could* just be that I don't understand differences in programming for 32- and 64-bit processors. Also, how is the first screen corrupted? Is it at all recognizeable? A screenshot could be most helpful. Edit: Actually, checkout the source again, rebuild, and see if it works correctly now that we're using SDL's types. |

SDL types did the work. Now it reaches the same point than the 32 bits binary. Nice job!
