Title: Running error
Post by: zonination on April 11, 2008, 09:36:18 pm: Linux here (Ubuntu 7.10)

Every time I try to execute fs2_open from the terminal (just by typing fs2_open), I get the following error:

ERROR: " Web cursor bitmap not found. This is most likely due to one of three reasons: 1) You're running FreeSpace Open from somewhere other than your FreeSpace 2 folder; 2) You've somehow corrupted your FreeSpace 2 installation; 3) You haven" at graphics/2d.cpp:1526

When I go to the actual fs2_open folder and execute the fs2_open binary, I get to the opening cutscene...
...but the bad news is, when the cutscene ends, the game crashes and my computer goes FUBAR, thus a need to reboot.

I was hoping you guys could help me out here.
If you need any extra info, I'll provide.
Much thanks in advance!

EDIT (Apr 13):
I found the log file for the fs2_open-debug binary. When I launched it, here's the output I get:

Title: Re: Cursor error
Post by: karajorma on April 12, 2008, 03:00:36 pm: On windows the first half of that error would usually be caused by a bad shortcut. i.e the game starts in the directory the shortcut is in rather than the one the game itself is in. I suspect you're seeing a Linux equivalent. The game is finding the executable but not the data, which is why the game will run from folder (partially) but otherwise crashes cause can't find the VPs it needs.

No idea about the second one.
