  • Retroblaster problem

    I wanted to play Retroblazer a new game for Darkplaces (Official site and [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AglgcwMj_RY]Gameplay video[/ame]).

    I downloaded the version without darkplaces as I have it already.
    I moved away the existing ~/.darkplaces directory and created a new one with
    the zip file unpacked in ~/.darkplaces/id1.
    I finally started darkplaces...

    This is the result:
    How the game starts,
    Menu.

    The music and sounds seems fine however, what can I try?
    Contradiction is truth. Fear is freedom. Rights are privileges. Job is a commodity. Ignorance is strength.

    Brand new installation folder ; I use one for every "Mod" I try, like Real Weapons Mod.I have like 4-5 quake installs, one for multiplayer,and tons of darkplaces installs :/ , even a FTE/Quakeworld folder.


    Mixing and Matching your folders is just setting yourself up for headache.

      last time I tried, retroblazer seemed to have some dp-version-specific requirements. You'll need to use the older retroblazer exe instead of a more recent generic dp build.
      You may also want to use the -nohome commandline argument, if you're paranoid like mindzy. A few people have complained about that not being default in the past, specifically in relation to retroblazer.

        I moved away the existing ~/.darkplaces, the installation is as new.

        I will try the included darkplaces instead of the one I have installed. Is there a complete list of command line options? In lordhavoc page there is no mention of -nohome, what is does?

          -nohome basically stops it from using ~/.darkplaces without having to rename/delete it before/after.
