needed to wait for linux update until today! now need to be working. it was an update just for win shame...

No need to run the game as root. Chown the /opt/hon directory to root.games, and chmod it to 775 (yes 775, not 755). If you are in the "games" group (gpasswd -a <your_name> games), you'll be able to do anything you need inside this directory.

I've been playing on windows lately because sound isnt working in linux... And I'm too lazy to troubleshoot. But, if you're in game, please add me as a friend, I'd love to play with some archlinuxers! in-game name is heleos

You only have to run as root to patch it, after that you can run it as any user you want. Or you can (I think) install it to your user directory. Not sure though...

Wintershade · 2009-08-25 15:52:28

You don't have to run it as root. Here's what I did:

1. install the game from AUR
2. chown the game dir (ex. /opt/hon) to root.games, like this:

chown -hR root.games /opt/hon

3. chmod the /opt/hon to 775 (that's 775, not 755)

chmod -R 775 /opt/hon

now all the users in the "games" group can run the game and do just about anything in that dir, including updating it.

Hope this helps!

On the other hand, I'd like to ask you guys whether there are any good tutorials or articles to read for starters; I'm a complete noob in the game, didn't even play DotA much before (but I like it and would love to learn to play).

P.S. my in-game nick is also Wintershade, so if somebody would like to add me to the friends list...

Barghest · 2009-08-25 16:03:50

I've added you all ;b

My ig-name is also barghest.

I don't have any experiences with dota and I have the felling that I hon is very hard to learn. Nevertheless yesterday I had my first match in that I had more kills than deaths ;b

I'd be happy if I could ask you some things in game or play with you to learn

^^ awesome name

How do I tell which backend I'm using? :\

hBd · 2009-08-26 10:15:44

i use alsa, so in rc.conf daemons row is the alsa daemon, if u use oss u have oss i think

cat /etc/rc.conf | grep DAEMONS
# DAEMONS
# Daemons to start at boot-up (in this order)
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network sshd netfs crond openntpd sensors alsa hal fam)

heleos · 2009-08-26 10:22:12

Well in that case I'm using OSS

I thought I had mentioned that in my first post, but it looks like I didn't! OSSv4 on an m-audio revolution 5.1 (envy24 driver I believe)

try to open the game in terminal, and see what happens there, or there is a linux related topic in heroesofnewerth forum, try to ask there.

heleos · 2009-08-26 10:26:05

I ran from a terminal a few days ago, but didn't get any output related to sound. I'll check out the beta forums tonight, I just wanted to see if anyone here had a similar problem first. It's just weird because it was working a few versions ago

FreakGuard · 2009-08-29 10:12:50

I'm still having some betakeys if anyone needs some

madc0de · 2009-08-29 10:44:44

I'm having a problem, game starts, language bar appears but there is no game screen. Just black screen and language bar. I didn't understand.

hBd · 2009-08-30 08:00:16

heleos · 2009-09-01 13:07:37

Edit: all out for now!

I'd also like to give it a spin. (Let's see if my r500 with radeon driver can handle it )

I'd very much appreciate a beta invite per IM or mail

EDIT: typo

Does anyone have an invite they could send me? I really want to try and test this game.
Thanks!

Karan · 2009-09-02 18:41:13

Hey guys! Just registered to ask for the key, if someone has any left. I got rly excited about such a linux native game, and want to try it on an EEE pc with 512 mb ram and 900mhz with ubuntu installed - linux have been steadily pushing this lil' laptop to perform wonders, running Warcraft III on wine with no slowdown at all! So I figured- what better place to ask for the key than the fellow linux ppl

Thx!

ugkbunb · 2009-09-02 18:52:57

^^^
Switch to arch and I will give you one...

lol jk... if I had an extra one I would send it your way.

Arch Linux
