unable to get opentryian running in Debian.

Hi all,
First of all there doesn't seem to be any notes on compiling or any info. on what dependencies in the hg clone.

I was able to compile the game but while running I see this :-


$ ./opentyrian

I did download the Tyrian 2.1 data files and downloaded them and installed them in a tyrian directory.

None of the files asked above are in the data files nor are they in the google-code hg repo.

Looking forward to some clarification.

"tyrian.cfg", "opentyrian.conf", and "tyrian.sav" are expected to be missing the first time you run OpenTyrian, so that's no matter.

The names of the Tyrian 2.1 files must be lowercase. They may be in the working directory, in the "data/" directory, or in the "/usr/share/opentyrian/data/" directory.

"palette.dat" should be included with Tyrian 2.1 -- if not, you may need grab the copy of Tyrian 2.1 listed on the project page.

used this worked out okish :-




Linux

Debian/Debian based distros

sudo apt-get install build-essential mercurial libsdl1.2debian libsdl-net1.2 libsdl1.2-dev libsdl-net1.2-dev

hg clone https://code.google.com/p/opentyrian/

cd opentyrian/

make release

wget -c http://sites.google.com/a/camanis.net/opentyrian/tyrian/tyrian21.zip

unzip -j tyrian21.zip -d data

./opentyrian


The above is the comment shared on the Downloads page code.google.com/p/opentyrian/wiki/Downloads

Anyways, I was disappointed that it did only two resolutions either 640x480 or full screen, nothing in-between.

Anyways, here's the bunch of warnings I wanted to share yesterday :-

It supports more resolution if you change the scaling mode: 320x200, 640x400, 960x600, 1280x800 (for 1x, 2x, 3x and 4x, respectively.)

You could also try out the SDL2 branch in mercurial. It needs SDL2 (obviously) but allows arbitrary resolutions (uses the desktop resolution for fullscreen), scaling the game screen to fill the window. It's not heavily tested at the moment but it worked fine for the most part for me.
