Install the Warclient for LTXIII
Tue, 07/15/2008 - 12:38 — janq
Hi all,
How can I install warclient for the LTXIII?
The version at http://download.gna.org/freeci... is old, isnt' it?
Both my version
jan@tm2000:~$ civclient --version
Freeciv version 2.0.9 gui-gtk-2.0 Warclient 0.9.11
Plz, how can I install warclient? I preffer a solution with as low download as possible (since I'm out of fast internet). Compilation of a code is impossible here.
Many thanks of an advice.

There are no binary packages
There are no binary packages for the "2.1 warclient", only a branch in svn with some ported features (http://svn.gna.org/svn/freeciv...)... :(
How does one keep his 2.0.9
How does one keep his 2.0.9 and 2.1 config files separate in the best way?
I see no --config-dir commmand :-(

Use the FREECIV_OPT
Use the FREECIV_OPT environment variable, it tells freeciv the path of the civclientrc file.
For example, in my script to start freeciv I have
civclient=path/to/civclient
version=`$civclient --version 2>&1 |perl -nle 'print $1 if /Freeciv\s+version\s+(\d+\.\d+\.\d+)/'`
export FREECIV_OPT=$HOME/.freeciv/civclientrc-$version

If I understand correctly, I
If I understand correctly, I have to install a standard freeciv package freeciv-client-gtk, which will replace my current warclient...
Isn't there any other option (at least let the old warclient survive)?
If you were to compile from
If you were to compile from sources you could just run the client from the directory where you compiled it with the civ script, but since you say you cannot compile, that does not really help you.
How is it that you cannot compile on what looks to me like a linux system?
The problem is, that I have
The problem is, that I have to download many developers packages in order to compile that thing and I have bounded sources here (internet, hd, etc...).
Maybe it could be useful, if the warclient package wouldn't replace civclient... I'll try to contact woods or pepeto as soon as I'll meet them.
thats 2.1 warclient, but
thats 2.1 warclient, but more like 2.1.0 pre, so it wont work with the 2.1.5 server, i have a 2.1.3 warclient, but its kinda outdated too, i did post a .tar.gz for the sources somewhere here, if you can find it :)
warclient 2.1
I'm trying the SVN 2.1 branch, but I get this error:
0: No usable default tileset found, aborting!
I configured and compiled with --prefix=/usr/local2 and --client=warclient. I make installed.
Any clue?

I have no idea, sorry.
I have no idea, sorry. Unless someone else knows how to fix this, you are better off just using freeciv 2.1.5 (or S2_1 svn branch) since I do not have time to investigate the warclient 2.1 codebase at the moment.
LOL man...
lol man, thats 2.1.0, take a look at http://www.longturn.org/forum/...
Your link is another
Your link is another warclient 2.1 implementation...? Why is it not on warclient site...?

because I dont have access
because I dont have access to warclient svn, and i dont think pepeto had access at the time either, and besides that, warclient svn site rarely works...
I've installed the standard
I've installed the standard 2.1 freeciv client right now. From my first view, there are 2 crucial bugs:
I can't distinguish between empty city and a city with units inside.
How to make it back ? Is there no "old_trident" or something?
Now I'm not sure that 2.1 was a good idea :(

You can disable the "better
You can disable the "better fog-of-war drawing" in local options (menu "Game", item "Local Options", tab "Graphics"), although it does not help much.
You can also make it draw the full flag instead of just the shield by unclicking "Draw shield graphics for units" in the same place. Make sure your tileset is "Trident" (for me the city occupied flag appears the same as in 2.0).
By the way you can also speed up the interface (and use less memory) if you select "Raleigh" as your default theme instead of "Freeciv".
Thanks for your advices.
Thanks for your advices. I've forgot to check that settings... (didn't expected it there).
Only the fog of war still isn't according to my dream ...
2.1.x (2.1.3 warclient)
this is basicly a patch from pepeto against 2.1 SVN. works pretty good for me.
i have made some updates to the client, but i need to repackage them sometime.
anyways...
