Rott

OK, I selected AWE when playing the newly ported SDL game Rise Of The
Triad (rott).

Thanks for the tip; I didn’t know ROTT was available for Linux. I compiled
ok, but when run I get the following:

Rise of the Triad Startup Version 1.4
CD Version
Z_INIT: 8950000 bytes
IN_Startup: Mouse Present
Adding darkwar.wad.
W_Wad: Wad Manager Started NUMLUMPS=3892
RT_DRAW: Tables Initialized
MU_Startup: No SoundBlaster cards available.
SD_SetupFXCard: No SoundBlaster cards available.
SD_Startup: W_GetNumForName: remostrt not found! Episode = 0
Area = 1

My sound card is supposed to be SoundBlaster compatible. And what’s
’remostrt’?
Any ideas about how to fix this?

TIA,
Jeff

I use the shareware data files. It looks like you don’t have them. What
WAD’s are you using? Also, the messages about missing SoundBlaster cards
are bogus. Remember, this code was originally for DOS, and those
messages don’t mean anything.

On another note, the MIDI does work if I use timidity, but not if I use
AWE. That’s why I think the problem is with SDL_mixer.

I purchased ROTT for DOS long ago, so I’ve copied the darkwar.wad into my
Linux machine. Per the README, I made the changes for the registered version
to develop.h before compiling.

On another note, the MIDI does work if I use timidity, but not if I use
AWE. That’s why I think the problem is with SDL_mixer.

Know how to fix the problem with SDL_mixer?

And what’s the meaning of this message?

?SD_Startup: W_GetNumForName: remostrt not found! Episode ? ? ?= 0

Thanks,

I don’t yet have the registered version, so I can’t comment on that.

No, thats the reason I posted a message here in the first place :slight_smile:

And what’s the meaning of this message?

SD_Startup: W_GetNumForName: remostrt not found! Episode = 0

I’m thinking it has something to do with the commercial files, but since I
don’t have them, I don’t know exactly what.

Steven Fuller provided the answer: remote1.rts also has to be in the Linux
directory. Works great now :slight_smile:
