[eppskevin]

United Minds Games and Packom Interactive are thrilled to announce that the release of Space Renegades: The Series has been ported to Linux!

Space Renegades: The Series combines ‘Space Renegades 1’ and ‘Space Renegades 2: Ulitmatum’.By packaging these games together United Minds Games offers players hours of gameplay at an amazing low cost! But don’t expect this game to be easy, it offers players 4 levels of difficulty along with tons upgradable weapons, shields, and much more!

In Space Renegades 1, you play as a Space Ranger named Adam. The Space Ranger firm that he worked for recently lost it's credibility and went out of business. He decided to be a self-employed Space Ranger, but at the same time a mob boss named Lord Art puts out a bounty on him dead or alive. Instead of protecting the galaxy he’s protecting himself from wave after wave of bounty hunters.

In Space Renegades 2: Ultimatum, you continue your quest as Adam. Impressed by Adam’s fighter skills, Lord Art wants Adam to join his gang. After refusing to join, Art kidnaps Adam's family with an ultimatum for Adam to either join him or watch his family die. Help save Adam’s family by searching throughout the known galaxy.

hi,

the demo is buggy. Try and run it, and you'll see.

When I change the run.sh to point to srts_demo instead of srts, I get this error:

./srts_demo: error while loading shared libraries: libfmodex.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I'm on a debian machine.

Cheers,

Yeah, someone let me know about that. I'm uploading the correct file as we speak. I'll let you know as soon as it's finished. Sorry about the inconvenience!

[eppskevin]

Ok. The new file is posted now. I'm really sorry about that.

hi,

I just downloaded again, and get the same error with the wrong file name. "srts" instead of srts_demo inside the run.sh.


When I change it, I now get:

./run.sh: line 4: 25522 Floating point exceptionLD_LIBRARY_PATH=lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ./srts_demo


Cheers,

[eppskevin]

Heh,

Maybe I'll officially release this tomorrow. I don't know a lot of people that have a linux box to test the way I would like. I'm updating the file as we speak. I'll let you know when it's up. Thanks for testing this for me!

Just figured out problem!!

Sorry for all the confusion. The problem was with the fmodexp.so not actually being copied over. For some reason, those files were being created as links to the file on my computer instead of it being an actual copy. I've now tested the updated tar file on two different linux machines and it seems to work fine now.

$ ./run.sh
./run.sh: line 4: 11763 Floating point exceptionLD_LIBRARY_PATH=lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ./srts_demo

This error is just after downloading the new tar file. I am also running Debian.

So I looked at the run.sh file, and I see this line:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ./srts_demo

It doesn't seem right to me. I think I normally see that environment variable setup as a new value, and I don't think I have ever seen it used to actually run anything.

It should be fixed now, but I'm working on it with some Linux testers to make sure.
