The Flare game strangely works.

​http://clintbellanger.net/rpg/ ​http://poorcoding.com/art/pub/haiku/arfonzo-flare-0.15-git-20121605.tar.xz - port for Haiku.

When you run Haiku can load a saved game. But as you exit the game, turn it again, it can not load the game( be suspended). You have to start over again Haiku( restart). Arfonzo says, that after five minutes it possible to load a saved game.

When you run the game in full screen, the cursor disappears.

On Windows, it works well.

Did you build this yourself or did you download a prebuilt package somewhere? This appears to make us of SDL and various related libraries. Where did you get your libraries from? Did you install them using installoptionalpackage or did you download them somewhere or build them yourself? Also was it built with gcc2 or gcc4? Here's the list of dependencies: ​https://github.com/clintbellanger/flare

I downloaded the game from - ​http://poorcoding.com/art/haiku.html

I downloaded libraries from - ​http://haiku-files.org/files/optional-packages/

My Haiku is hrev44149 gcc4h.

Just a warning, which may not matter in this particular case: not everything on ​http://haiku-files.org/files/optional-packages is good or compatible (we leave old packages out there for backward compatibility with older versions of Haiku). They're not really meant to be downloaded and installed manually.

I would recommend either including them when you build your Haiku image manually, or using the installoptionalpackage script to install SDL (and other libs) - as it tries to choose the "appropriate" version based on the rev of Haiku you're using.

OK. But the internet does not work in my Haiku, so first I download in the Windows and then copy to Haiku.

And this script does not download from there which I gave a link?

The script uses your revision of Haiku to go to to the SCM, checkout all the optional package jamfiles, and parse them to determine which specific package versions (and installation steps) go with your revision of Haiku.

So, as long as you're downloading the same packages that you find in these files and installing them with the same steps and all relevant dependencies, you should be fine:

​http://cgit.haiku-os.org/haiku/tree/build/jam/OptionalPackages ​http://cgit.haiku-os.org/haiku/tree/build/jam/OptionalLibPackages ​http://cgit.haiku-os.org/haiku/tree/build/jam/OptionalPackageDependencies

Version 0.16 - ​http://wiki.poorcoding.com/Haiku.arfonzo.ashx#F_3

Problem with loading save game, probably no longer occurs. But still there is no cursor in full screen mode. It appears as you press ctrl + alt + del.

Hi all,

I'm also not seeing any more issues in loading characters. The issue with full screen is the same for me, as Premislaus described it--I am unsure whether this is an issue with Flare, or SDL for Haiku. I have noticed SDL bugs on Haiku such as changing screen resolutions on Quit (with many apps, not only Flare).

I have added a GCI task for a recipe for this, in order to make testing easier.

[pulkomandy]

The recipe is now available. Please test and report :)

What the ticket describes all works now. Full screen doesn't over here, everythings distorted. But that's the intel extreme driver acting up...
