Author Topic: Build 18 + Linux issue (Read 7172 times)

I just got Ubuntu 7.04 (desktop) installed on my old machine finally (stupid CD-Rom drive) and I put paintball on it. But it doesn't run. I tried both the full and minimal server versions, but the error message was the same:

Quote

nick@ubuntu:~$ /home/nick/paintball2b18_min/paintball2

Paintball 2 -- Version 2.0
Illegal instruction (core dumped)

I got this message before when I tried it with a LiveCD, and thought that it was because I wasn't using a hard drive installed version of Linux. Can someone help me out? Thanks.

I wonder if this is the same problem This guy is having he didn't list an error though.

But I'm not using KDE. I'm using Gnome. Or would that even matter?

Wait for tinman to come by, he's a linux genius.

XD

Try going into the directory and running it?
cd /home/nick/paintball2b18_min/
./paintball2
and try adding some server config for it to execute after that just for kicks?

If that doesn't work then ask Jitspoe for a debug build of b18.

If you're using the min server build, you need to be running it in dedicated mode. You also need to run it from the paintball2 directory.

Still gives me the same error message:

nick@ubuntu:~$ cd /home/nick/paintball2b18_min

Paintball 2 -- Version 2.0

Oh, that, you must have an old CPU that doesn't support mmx or whatever.

Zorchenhimer · « **Reply #10 on:** June 05, 2007, 03:24:24 PM »

Poo!

Its a P2 333Mhz.

y00tz · « **Reply #11 on:** June 05, 2007, 03:59:01 PM »

Eek, paintball2 wouldn't have run very well on it anyway. Put the P2 in the gamecube and revive that.

jitspoe · « **Reply #12 on:** June 05, 2007, 04:11:21 PM »

P2? I thought they had it by then. Must have been P3.

MMX has been around since Pentium.

jitspoe · « **Reply #14 on:** June 05, 2007, 04:18:57 PM »

Maybe it was SSE, then.

y00tz · « **Reply #15 on:** June 05, 2007, 05:42:42 PM »

MMX was PI, SSE was PIII...

Quote from: WikiPedia

SSE (Streaming SIMD Extensions, originally called ISSE, Internet Streaming SIMD Extensions) is a SIMD (Single Instruction, Multiple Data) instruction set designed by Intel and introduced in 1999 in their Pentium III series processors as a reply to AMD's 3DNow!

So MMX was 1996, SSE is 1999, it means it's not SSE and the CPU you have supports MMX. $:-\$

I knew i should have kept my other computer off the basement floor. That one would have easily run it (P3 ~600 mhz). And the GameCube was completely fried. One of the plugs in the back was all black and corroded and such.

So I take it pball won't work on my old computer?

jitspoe · « **Reply #17 on:** June 06, 2007, 02:01:05 AM »

I'd have to do a special no-sse build.

Zorchenhimer · « **Reply #18 on:** June 06, 2007, 10:12:46 AM »

Drat. Well, thanks anyway.

Sorry for the revive, but I got build 19 working on my Linux computer. Only it runs at 2 fps (4 tops) in Wine. So would that mean that my P2 processor has SSE support? Or is that just something that Wine is emulating?
