| tomreyn | hi, i'd like to give freeorion a try. i'm on ubuntu 11.04. what's the easiest way to get a working copy? | 19:16 |
|---|---|---|
| tomreyn | I read http://www.freeorion.org/index.php/Compile_In_Linux which, in parts, looks somewhat outdated, is the general process still correct? | 19:17 |
| tpb | <http://ln-s.net/2hix> (at www.freeorion.org) | 19:17 |
| tomreyn | i'm a little worried about having to compile for an hour. are you aware of any static builds of 0.4? | 19:18 |
| tomreyn | well, not worried, but i'd like to skip this if possible | 19:19 |
| tomreyn | SWAT: based on your hostmask you might know where to get a current linux build? | 19:20 |
| GeofftheMedio | tomreyn: not much should have changed re: compiling v0.4 | 19:21 |
| GeofftheMedio | there are no static builds available after v0.3.15 | 19:22 |
| tomreyn | thanks GeofftheMedio. is the game robust stable enough to be playable? | 19:22 |
| GeofftheMedio | people on the forums have been posting about how they've enjoyed it and played over 1000 turns | 19:23 |
| GeofftheMedio | I don't think of it as a complete game yet, though | 19:23 |
| GeofftheMedio | YMMV | 19:23 |
| tomreyn | how long would a turn take, roughly? | 19:23 |
| GeofftheMedio | at first, a few seconds | 19:24 |
| tomreyn | later some minutes? | 19:24 |
| GeofftheMedio | later, I'm not sure... possibly 20 seconds? maybe longer if you have a huge galaxy / lots of AIs... | 19:24 |
| GeofftheMedio | minutes / turn after hundreds of turns is plausible, but I haven't tried it | 19:25 |
| tomreyn | so several hours of are enjoyable gameplay possible, good. :) | 19:25 |
| GeofftheMedio | I suspect those players just enjoy exploring the galaxy and colonizing, and aren't looking for an actual strategy game or challenge | 19:26 |
| tomreyn | that'd be good enough to get me started, too :) | 19:27 |
| tomreyn | i guess i'll have a compile fest then | 19:27 |
| tomreyn | GeofftheMedio: one more question, should i go with the release or use head? is head usually stable? | 19:28 |
| GeofftheMedio | the latest SVN is usually buildable and playable, but might have some bugs. presently the latest SVN is almost the same as the v0.4 build, so you might as well use the latest | 19:29 |
| *** welterde has joined #freeorion | 20:08 | |
| tomreyn | thanks | 20:14 |
| tmass | somebody should do a small Let's Play with commentary | 20:21 |
| tmass | so people would understand what's supposed to be going on | 20:21 |
| SWAT | tomreyn: unfortunately not | 20:52 |
| SWAT | tomreyn: when I have some spare time left, I'll be looking into freeorion | 20:52 |
| *** bookwar has joined #freeorion | 21:38 | |
| tomreyn | thanks swat. i realize there's also (outdated) packages on playdeb. maybe you could team up with them... | 21:47 |
| tomreyn | well for now a 0.5.0 build would be great to have. after re-reading the compile guide i realized that i'm too lazy to compile all of this just to give the game a try (and I assume this may be similar for other people). | 21:49 |
