*** What is Slune???
Slune is a 3D game! It includes racing, car-crashing, and lots of
action! In addition, a multiplayer mode is available (see below).
Slune has been made for personal RESEARCH. The goals were to reply to
the questions:
* Is it possible to realize a 3D game with "correct" graphism fully
in a script language (like Python) ?
* Is it possible to realize a game that, without being an educative
game in the common sens of it, is a "civic / documentary game" that
can spread a message, more intelligent than the ones of most of
commercial games.
The answer to both questions is "yes" ;-)
*** Help needed !
We espescially search for graphists and translators.
We also search people for porting Slune to other OS, and for
maintaining the windows version.
*** How to translate Slune ?
* cd Slune-with-deps-XXX/slune # go into the Slune directory
* ./localeextract $TRANSLATE_TO $TRANSLATE_FROM
where $TRANSLATE_TO is the language you want to translate to (e.g. nb)
and $TRANSLATE_FROM the language you want to translate from (defaults
to en and then fr).
The script will output some GNU GetText code. Add this code to file:
./locale/$TRANSLATE_TO/LC_MESSAGES/slune.po
(create the file if it does not exist yet).
Then, in this code, translate all text following "msgstr". Don't touch
"msgid"!
*** Requirement
* Python 2.2.x (the latest is the best; tested on 2.3.4)
INCLUDING the files for compiling python modules in C,
e.g. , on Linux Mandrake, you need to install the package :
'libpython2.3-devel-2.3.3-2mdk' (version numbers may change)
* Linux (any architecture; other OS may be supported but have not
been tested at all)
* OpenGL (tested with Radeon DRI and NVidia dirvers; hardware
acceleration is heavily advised, though not strictly required)
* SDL (http://libsdl.org/)
* OpenAL (www.openal.org), PyOgg and PyVorbis (www.xiph.org) for
sound support.
* Cal3D (cal3d.sourceforge.net)
The Slune tarball comes with all other dependencies (including Soya3D).
*** Installation
tar -xvzf Slune-XXX.tar.gz
cd Slune-XXX
* Do:
python ./setup.py build
* Do AS ROOT:
su
python ./setup.py install
You may get the following warning:
warning: install: modules installed to '/usr/share/',
which is not in Python's module search path (sys.path)
-- you'll have to change the search path yourself
You can safely ignore the warning !
You can play without installing by running ./run_without_install;
you STILL need to do the build step !!!
*** How to launch Slune?
Just type "slune" on a console !
There's also a command line interface, see "slune --help" for more
information.
*** How to play?
Mouse position / cursor key : left / right to turn; top to go faster;
down to go slower
Left click / Ctrl : long jump
Middle click / Shift: high jump
Right click / Alt : nitro
When jumping: Roll up-down / Ctrl-shift: look up / down (for
looping,...)
q, escape: quit
*** About multiplayer mode
WARNING: The network engine does NOT pass through firewalls!
To play with a firewall, you MUST let the Slune TCP port opened (by
default, 36079).
The multiplayer mode has only been tested with 2 players with 100MB
Ethernet.
*** Known bugs
* Sound problems : OpenAL may not support your sound card (e.g.
sound quality is poor, and you get some error printed on the
console, about "native_blitbuffer: Assertion `0' failed" or "fcntl:
Invalid argument"). Some people has obtained good result by forcing
the use of esd. For that, edit ~/.openalrc, and write in it :
(define devices '(esd))
* ImportError: libGL.so.1: cannot handle TLS data
This problem occurs typically on Debian with NVidia cards.
Just install the "nvidia-glx" Debian package.
