Hello!
This game is awesome. 10 of 10 for sure.
But I have one small question - how to save single player game ?
When I play I often see messages "Game saved" but when I quit game & start it again - there in no saves. Why ?
I think the last saved game appears immediately when you start the game. Hit escape in the menu and you're straight back in the last saved action. I have not tested this, but I believe that it is so ... maybe ..
Not sure, but everytime i enter the game from the menu i'm back on that damn brigde that i'm unable to cross :-)
When you launch RWR, it just starts a default quick battle behind the menu; this match isn't actually loadable in the recent games.
To get a proper match going on that actually gets saved and can later be found in recent games, go through the start new game menu.
Have you tried the standalone demo? You'd launch it with launch_game -script.
With launch_game i have these error :
rwr_config: error while loading shared libraries: libwx_gtk2u_richtext-2.8.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Same here. Any solution ahead ?
What distro are you guys using?
Did you try the ldconfig command to update the library cache?
openSuse 12.2, THe Board told me to install libwxgtk2.8-0. But sadly, this is not available on Suse and i cant find anything similar :-(
OpenSuse + wxWidgets is clearly becoming a problem now.
There's a hacky workaround, you'd use this Modulaatio.com edit it manually according to your needs, and with demo, place it in rwr folder in a subfolder called "data", or with the latest game, place it in your home folder in a subfolder called ".running_with_rifles".
That's it. Thank you.^^
