The Humble Indie Pack: pay what you want

rapkasta · 2010-05-10 05:09:29

Oh, thank you... My a4tech mouse has been detected as mouse+joystick....

dcc24 · 2010-05-10 08:27:09

The average Linux user contribution just passed $14!

On other news, Mac user contribution is approaching $10 and Windows users, as expected, are complete cheap skates with an average contribution around $7.

I don't know how to disable detecting mouse as joustick, but you can disable use of joystick in keyboard-config in game

Great initiative, I discover nice games

Does anyone succeed to run the demo of Penumbra on arch64 ?

$ ./penumbrademo
X Error of failed request:  BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length error)
  Major opcode of failed request:  135 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  1 (X_GLXRender)
  Serial number of failed request:  406
  Current serial number in output stream:  406
Penumbra: Overture exited unexpectedly, please check
/home/mart/.frictionalgames/Penumbra/Overture/hpl.log
for any error messages
Also try running
ulimit -c unlimited
And re-running Penumbra and try and recreate the error
then submit the generated core file or stack trace

I didn't see any error in hpl.log

Sounds like driver issues. Which card do you have? People have reported issues with open drivers. Make sure you've installed the related lib32.

i've had to replace the default aquaria openal library, otherwise i got mono and poor audio.

You are forgetting how many windows users there are...

Example:
If 1 linux user is very very generous and donates $500 it could raise the average by ~$1.
If the same happened on windows, it may not even raise the average by $0.10.

PS. I contributed to all 3 Operating Systems.

Aquaria works well here from chrooted 32bit environment, but as usual I had to disable joystick, since my mouse for some reason always is recognized as a joystick and a mouse at the same time.
How did you disable the joystick? I had to disable the joystick in Gish because I kept moving left even though I was not pressing anything. However, even if I set all the joystick controls to 0 in Aquaria, I still keep moving left, and cannot keep still.

I've been away some days on work and hence I didn't see your question. If you haven't found any answer, then you need to manually edit ~/.Aquaria/preferences/usersettings.xml and set it to <JoystickEnabled on="0" />.

I had the same problem that settings wasn't saved from a running game.

Runiq · 2010-05-10 21:43:23

Okay, I did it – payed them $25. Hope everything runs well.

PhenomenJan · 2010-05-11 02:06:10

If you're having problems with aquaria, check to see if you're running cairo-compmgr. I had to kill it before I could get aquaria to run properly.

Artificial Intelligence · 2010-05-11 13:07:31

The source code of Penumbra, gish and Lugaru will be open (and released), if they reach $1 mill.

Looks like they've made the million mark!

Aye and Wolfire jave just announced that Lugaru is now Open Source.

True. I wish I had more to say

I got it "gifted" by a friend (who I will pay it back of course ).

Because noone mentioned it explicitely:
Some of the games (haven't looked at all) have a libopenal.so.1 in their directory. If you don't have sound, just delete or rename this file. Then the game will use /usr/lib/libopenal.so.1 I guess. This should work better.

Question regarding Lugaru: It starts and works - but only until I get into the first fight with the rabbit right next to the "village" standing on a hill. I say "hi" to him, then he starts a fight and then the game segfaults. Occured in the demo and in the humble pack version.

Runiq · 2010-05-11 22:02:06

All games are going to be opensourced. Looking forward to some cool Aquaria extensions. Also, the bundle can be bought for four more days.

Cdh · 2010-05-11 22:21:10

World of goo is not... or is it?

Whoops, you're right. Sorry for that!

Thank you it works if I installed the package lib32-nvidia-utils

Great news for the opensource games

If anybody was having compositing issues with KWin and Aquaria as I was, I've made a small executable script which I've placed in /usr/bin/

#!/bin/bash
# Small script to disable compositing before starting Aquaria

# Check to see if compositing is active
if [ "$(qdbus org.kde.kwin /KWin compositingActive)" == "true" ];
then
    # Active, so deactivating
    qdbus org.kde.kwin /KWin toggleCompositing
   
    # Running Aquaria
    /<PATH_TO_ACQUARIA>/aquaria

    # Reactivating
    qdbus org.kde.kwin /KWin toggleCompositing           
else
    # Not active, so only running Aquaria
    /<PATH_TO_ACQUARIA>/aquaria
fi

I'm running Arch 64bit... World of Goo worked perfectly... But when I tried Aquaria it crashed after completing the first stage... I took the dive and created a 32bit chroot and I have at least run all the games. Lugaru seemed to have no sound... I only played the tutorial for a few mins. I'll look into that later. World of Goo, Aquaria and Gish are the only ones that look like fun. Good buy I'd say... and bravo Linuxers for putting your money where your mouth is! Next stop... Steam!

quantumphaze · 2010-05-13 14:00:57

Current statistics:
Win: $8.06
Mac: $10.22
Lin: $14.56

I think Windows went up and Mac went down, each by a few cents. Linux is almost at $15 and increasing.

Also I can't wait for native 64 bit builds of the open sourced games and completely new games made from the Aquaria 2D engine (looks like you could do a lot with such an engine, only limited by your imagination)

IsSuE · 2010-05-14 09:23:11

Does anybody know if there is a way to get the World of Goo cursor onto my desktop? Tried googling, but with no results

Daenyth · 2010-05-14 13:34:27

Just letting people know that Arch-Games plans to host all the open source ones as soon as there's good PKGBUILDs for them

I think I never said so publicly, but I'm really glad the arch-games repo is there.

Edit: Penumbra Overture has its github repo up: http://github.com/FrictionalGames
