OpenCity's FAQ
=====================================================================
Last modified: $Id: FAQ.txt 50 2006-09-26 22:28:18Z neoneurone $
Performance
=====================================================================
Q: OpenCity runs very slowly on my machine, what can I do ?
A: OpenCity is a 3D game, that's why you probably need a 3D video
card ;) OpenCity is also known to be "fill-limited". It means that you can
have better graphic performance if you reduce the game window's size.
You can also disable the grid with the "g" key and/or run OpenCity in
fullscreen mode.
Q: When I launch OpenCity, a window shows up then disappears, what's wrong ?
A: Please check the content of the files "stderr.txt" and "stdout.txt".
Often it's because OpenCity couldn't find its data. You can use the
command-line option "--homedir" to specify the right path to OpenCity.
Please refer to the README file for more information concerning the
command-line options.
Q: I have some compilation troubles, can someone help me ?
A: If you are not a developer who is familar with Linux application compilation
process then the answer is _NO_. Otherwise, you must be able to help yourself.
SDL, SDL_mixer, SDL_image, SDL_net errors:
=====================================================================
Please download and install the lastest SDL libraries from
http://www.libsdl.org
If you compile OpenCity from sources, you will need the development
packages of those libraries. They contain the header files which
are necessary for the compilation process.
If you have those libraries intalled already somewhere on you system,
then try to indicate the correct path to those libraries to the linker.
Q: I have this error: "/usr/include/SDL/SDL_net.h:416: error: extra ';'"
A: It's a known issue with SDL_net.h 1.2.5. Remove that extra ';' or
download and install the latest SDL_net development library.
