OpenMW 0.40.0

[Ace (SWE)]

Also currently waiting on word on the Linux and Windows binaries.

Well, several people have verified the 64-bit binary, haven't heard anyone mention the 32-bit one.

Anyone?

Seems fine for me. I can start OpenMW, the CS, the wizard and the launcher. I went in-game for a little bit in OpenMW and everything seemed fine.

The problem with OSG-3.4 on the Ubuntu PPA has been worked around. We don't need to add anything to the release notes. It should be solved as people do `apt update`. Thanks to Shnatsel for that.

@Ace thanks for the confirmation, sorry for the trouble.

Thanks Shnatsel, psi29a, regarding the packages. Now just waiting to hear from K1ll about the Linux binaries.

Ehm, I think scrawl meant "Fixed constant effects not to be put on hold when resting".

Sometimes I don't know how I even make it through life. Thanks scrawl, Atahualpa. Updated: https://gist.github.com/mickeylyle/602e ... /revisions

Perhaps this is something to note in the release notes for Ubuntu PPA users that they need to first uninstall everything having to do openscenegraph first before install openmw-0.40?

NOOOOOOO

It's a bug in the Debian packaging! Here's a hotfix, add this to your debian/control for the "libopenscenegraph-3.4-130" binary package:

Code: Select all

Conflicts: libopenscenegraph-123
Replaces: libopenscenegraph-123

How do I do this? Not quite Linux literate enough to know where debian/control is.

If you're not making the .deb packages, you don't. The people handling the PPA will do it (and it sounds like it's already done; you just need to update).

Yep, there was an update to libopenscenegraph-3.4-130 today. Can't verify that it fixes the brokenpackage state, tho, as I already fixed it by removing -123 and re-installing openmw.

My system is broken, I can't update anything.

edit: nevermind, I purged openmw* and then reinstalled!

@Ace thanks for the confirmation, sorry for the trouble.

IIRC I'm intentionally leaving out libpng because there was a problem with the system Qt4 picking up the bundled libpng library even though it depends on the systems libpng version. Means neither the launcher nor openmw-cs were able to run even though Qt4 was available. Most distros (including Fedora) have a separate libpng12 Package and after installing that the binaries do run fine.

Also OSG does print errors to the console when it can't load a module because of a missing dependency so there is an indication that something went wrong and how to fix it. Anyway maybe we should add to the release notes that Qt4 and libpng12 are required to use the targz package binaries.

Greetings,

Are there specific reasons that you are building against libpng 1.2 and Qt4? I'm a Fedora user and in OM V0.39, and now in V0.40, I used Qt5 and libpng 1.6 when building the binaries. Everything seemed to work OK, but maybe I just didn't realize there were issues. Is there code that requires these older packages, or can the new versions of Qt and libpng be used without issues?

I'm wondering if I should rebuild using the older packages?

Thanks!
