I have tried to survive with only 1 live and got one shot by some goat. Only after I clicked on "Delete World" I realized that I could save the world seed as it was pretty nice. grasslands with bees like in 100 blocks of spawn and a nice ruin.

Can I still recover the world seed somehow?

hello!

i would like to run this game on Linux:

* OS: KDE Neon (based on Ubuntu)
* Propriatery Nvidia driver is installed
* I installed the packages "mono-complete" and "mono-runtime"

I ran the game successfully on a few different distros over the years and cannot remember having this problem.

When I try to run the game (using "mono ./Vintagestory.exe") I get the following warning:

15:29:21 [Client Warning] Client side assembly resolver did not find the assembly in the binary path, the lib path or the mods path. Tested for the following paths:

I was not able to locate this missing .dll file online. The rest of the output is quite long, but I will post it if it helps.

so you play with sound? i found them by listening for the buzzing noise they make.

its working now. thanks!

here are the logs.

Logs.tar.gz

sorry to bring you bad news again, but this version is not working on linux (i did not check the previous ones as i was busy). i know what it means to develop something and i can only imagine what a pain it must be to develop for a shitty operating system like windows. just thinking about it makes me queasy. so you really have my respect.

i had to change the music file "Night to Day.ogg" to lowercase to start the game.

after i clicked "create" to create a new world i got the following output in the terminal:

(to make sure there were no path issues i even used the install script.)

nice pictures.

sadly, the naming problems on linux still exist.

• the music file "night to day.ogg".
• all the star textures in the enviroment directory like "starsbk.png".
• all the painting textures like "acitasluna.png".

all the files listed should be lowercase. by the way: is windows case insensitive?

i already wanted to give further feedback on the whole install script thing so i might as well do it here now. i find it very odd how some things are done and as i don't know how familiar you are with linux i will give further explanations on how things are usually done. linux users are very "special" in the sense that they get annoyed by seemingly insignificant shit, but i know them very well, as i am one of them :-D.

i would just scrap the install.sh file, but would still like to know how it came to be as it does some very unusual things:

• in my home directory 2 directories are created:
  • ApplicationData: the game files are moved here. it might sound like a typical directory where application data is stored, but i have never seen it before and only after checking the script i knew the game could be found there. games are usually stored in /usr/games  or /usr/share/games.
  • .fonts: contains some fonts. directories that start with a dot "." and placed in the home directory usually contain user specific data for an application. like .firefox or .thunderbird. if i would backup by files by hand i would go through them and pick the ones where i would like to keep my settings and so on. like the bookmarks in firefox.
    now if i would go through the home directory and stumble upon one called ".fonts" with no indication to where they belong i would have no idea what to do with them. this is really odd as the fonts are not needed to run the game. at least in my case.
• it creates a desktop icon what is very unusual for linux.
• the script itself cannot be run as the line termination used is not the linux ones.

i wouldn't create any .dpkg as this would only make things more complicated (also i haven't seen those in ages. .deb is used now). if you would offer a .deb then some will ask for a .rpm and then for a .got-knows-what. there are a lot of different package formats for different linux distributions. just offer the .tar.gz and be done with it.

i think the best solution is to just offer the game in a .tar.gz and allow the game to be run from there without any installation. this is normal for games in development and simplifies the whole thing. just place a script there with a name that suggests that the user has to run it like "run.sh" or "VintageStory.sh". in this file you only need the line: "mono VintageStory.exe". you could also store that in a binary, but linux users should be accustomed to running script files to start games. also a file called "README" would not hurt that tells the user to run the .sh file and not the .exe one.

EDIT:

i just noticed, that the fonts are actually used. if they are not present the font looks slightly different. maybe it would be possible to include them in way a separate .fonts directory is not needed.

thanks for the info. i will still report new problems here as they seem to be pretty insignificant and i do not want to spam the tracker.

a few other files had the same problem:

• the music file "night to day.ogg".
• the star textures in the enviroment directory (like "starsbk.png"). after 2 files caused a crash i just renamed them all.
• the flint texture.
• the painting textures like "acitasluna.png". agian, after 2 caused a chrash i renamed them all.

after fixing the file names i could start a game and run around. after picking up a stone the following error occurred:

22:06:41 [Client Fatal] 16.09.2017 22:06:41> Critical Error: Unable to read beyond the end of the stream.

i saw that other files had similar names to the ones i fixed, so this might still be related to the naming issue.

EDIT:

i managed to fix it.

i renamed all the .ogg music files and the fonts to lowercase. after that it still crashed so i ran the install.sh script. this did not really work as the files in the ApplicationData directory did not change (there was still an older version of the game), but it works nonetheless (maybe it has something to do with the .fonts directory that is created.).

the newest version of game is now in my downloads directory and i run it simply by calling "mono Vintagestory.exe".

hi,

the update looks cool, but when i try to run the game on linux (mint) i get the following error (from the terminal):

09:31:15 [Client Error] Couldn't write to log file, failed formatting 16.09.2017 09:31:15> Critical Error: Requested asset {game:shaderincludes/perlinnoise.vsh} could not be found
 (FormatException)

btw: is there a better way of submitting bugs? i was not able to add something to the tracker. or am i too retarded?
