I actually had my Keyboard sensitivity turned to max even before i got involved in this project. I will add it to the BeOS instructions with the 0.3 release.

input is fine

I imagine your suffering from one of two possible things...
turn up the keyboard input in your keyboard preferences & also
in your bios... then try it.... plays great here & the input
is just as it was back in the day.

Not so playable yet.

This is the kind of game I really like. Very nice. I have to say it the 'playability' is very crap yet, the ship hardly turns, it turns very slowly at each keyboard input. I didn't even win a fight yet, very hard to turn the ship. Hope the input becomes better soon.

yes, F10 to escape out of melee game

It's actually quite intuitive.. If you played many games in the 90's, or if you played Star Control I and II ;) As far as I can remember, many games in the early 90s (and some applications) used "F10" to exit.

Network stuff after 1.0

 Current version when comment was posted: 0.2 Alpha
It won't be till after 1.0 im affraid, so it will be a little wait, were still rebuilding large parts of the game to shake the DOS and 3DO legacy out, the next major release should include a new resource system for handling the content files and the out takes and intro should be in.

Cool

Thanks,
I'm actualy gonna go play it right now as I just got some work done. BREAK TIME!!! Do you know if network play will be incorperated at some time?

I just did some confering, to exit melee to the main menu
press F10 then space, its Clunky and not intuitive, because i did not know about it untill now, but i will get it fixed up for the next version.

yup melee

like if I play melee & want to go back to play the full game there is no escape but you say that might not be added yet.

Stuckness,

Where exactly are you getting, what menu or place in the game?

If your floating around in a solar system, pressing space brings up your option menu, and pressing space gets out of it.

if you are at a planet, going to the Navigate option will get you back to a solar system,

if you are sitting on a planet Left Shift will lift you from the surface,

If you went to Melee i don't think there is a way to get back to the main menu yet,

I tried it
 By Jess - Posted on March 8, 2003 - 23:15:30   (#6286)
 Current version when comment was posted: 0.2 Alpha
I tried the space bar both ctrl buttons both alt both shift.
nothing seems to go back. I noticed in esc has a bind in the
key config but it does not seem to do anything as well there
is a blank bind of "" but no comment to say what each bind
slot does.

try spacebar to escape
 By narmox - Posted on March 8, 2003 - 18:12:14   (#6282)
 Current version when comment was posted: 0.2 Alpha
When you're in a screen and want to go back to where you were before you selected that menu item, press spacebar. It's all in the manual I think ;) Or perhaps it's just very similar to the actual SC2 I played in the early 90s ;)

No thank you

 Current version when comment was posted: 0.2 Alpha
I finnaly got to play it & it's cool other then a few problems. Menus are all that understandable with the keys & I cant find a way to escape things other then to quit & relaunch. Also you have a mouse pointer but nothing accepts mouse input :) just wierd stuff really but Thanks for the update this is cool. I used to play Star Control on the Genesis (dont remeber what version it was) but I loved it & now I can play similar in Be. We need more break time pleasures :)

Thanks jess

It looks like the music wasn't uploaded, but the "required" content was uploaded in place of it.

Just wanted to let you know.

Please enjoy

This will work a lot better on slower hardware. and is a smaller download, there are still some critical bugs, but
were working on them for 0.3, if you find any bugs please report them to the Bug Zilla database at

http://uqm.stack.nl/cgi-bin/bugs/index.cgi

0.2 will be comming soon

Unfotunetly the game has an extrodinary amount of bugs

 By narmox - Posted on December 3, 2002 - 18:24:28   (#4572)
 Current version when comment was posted: 0.1 Alpha
in the full game (not melee), once I get to earth, offload the minerals, and beat the Ilwrath ship, my ship gets repaired and all, and then the game freezes....

I did have SDL-mixer 1.2.5
 By narmox - Posted on December 1, 2002 - 10:06:11   (#4517)

As I said in my initial post.

However, the one from the link you provided worked, and not the one I had previously.

thanks

Mix Linked Version Failed
 By Intelinside - Posted on December 1, 2002 - 01:05:26   (#4505)
 Current version when comment was posted: 0.1 Alpha
That is because you do not have SDL_mixer 1.2.5 you have an older SDL_mixer its not compatible with older SDL_mixer versions, you are not up to date

Go to this link http://www.bebits.com/app/3152
take one SDL_mixer 1.2.5 and call me in the morning

Thankyou Rene Gollent

Might get around to this today

I'll try to see if I can test this today as I'm still ungodly busy. Alas this is all just for curiosity as my system will not run this game any where near playable from what the reccomended system requirments are.

here's what syslog has to say

Re: Missing Symbols
 By Rene Gollent - Posted on November 30, 2002 - 04:13:45   (#4488)
 Current version when comment was posted: 0.1 Alpha
Try the following: make sure you have system logging active (config/settings/kernel/drivers/kernel for the necessary settings)

Open a Terminal and run 'tail -f /var/log/syslog'

Then launch uqm and see what tail spits out...should give you a better idea as to where the problem lies.

I am not using BONE so then why do I have missing symbol errors?

Library Hell
 By Doxtur - Posted on November 30, 2002 - 00:06:04   (#4480)
 Current version when comment was posted: 0.1 Alpha
Please, when you port game, put all libs in <app>/lib dir and people will not have to DL all those libs. It's a game, not a library guest ;)

Absolutely
 By brian68 - Posted on November 29, 2002 - 19:12:47   (#4473)
 Current version when comment was posted: 0.1 Alpha
You'll notice about 5 messages back that he did not compile it for bone or dano. The differences in system libraries explains the "missing symbol" errors you are receiving. Your best bet is to DL the sources and cook up a specialized version. You will most likely also need the developer version of the SDL libs so you have the necessary headers.

have them all
 By narmox - Posted on November 29, 2002 - 19:00:54   (#4472)
 Current version when comment was posted: 0.1 Alpha
I notice you list libnet.so as a required lib. AFAIK, this is a net_server lib.

As I mentioned in my original post, I use BONE.

Do you think this could affect it?

Yup
 By Jess - Posted on November 29, 2002 - 18:55:52   (#4471)
 Current version when comment was posted: 0.1 Alpha
Again I have to say I have all the required libs & files. I play SDL games al the time & my files are up to date.

all the libs it needs
 By Intelinside - Posted on November 29, 2002 - 13:37:21   (#4468)
 Current version when comment was posted: 0.1 Alpha
this is what libs you need to run uqm

_init_c_library_
libSDL.so
libSDL_image.so
libGL.so
libSDL_mixer.so
libnet.so
libroot.so

and of course the content directory

I have those libs too
 By narmox - Posted on November 29, 2002 - 11:58:55   (#4467)

Especially since in my previous message I did mention I had SDL and SDL mixer 1.2.5. :) I also have libjpeg.so

I DO have those

Missing Librarys
 By Intelinside - Posted on November 29, 2002 - 01:04:08   (#4460)
 Current version when comment was posted: 0.1 Alpha
Please Download SDL_mixer 1.2.5
and SDL 1.2.5
and make sure you have libjpeg.so in /boot/home/config/lib

I did not compile this on Dano or bone

same problem
 By Jess - Posted on November 28, 2002 - 23:10:39   (#4459)
 Current version when comment was posted: 0.1 Alpha
I have the same problem I figured it was cuz it was compiled on a 5.1 system or possibly is anti k6-2 compiled for specific Intel flags

Can't run the game
 By narmox - Posted on November 28, 2002 - 21:29:49   (#4456)
 Current version when comment was posted: 0.1 Alpha
I've just installed SDL 1.2.5 and SDL_mixer 1.2.5, tried to run the game

--(Thu Nov 28)--(patrix@gondor)
--(/boot/apps/uqm) $ ./Launcher
./Launcher: /boot/apps/uqm/uqm: Symbol not found
./Launcher: /boot/apps/uqm/uqm: Symbol not found

What's wrong?

I have beos R5 + BONE.

More Stuff

I understand some people do not like where the game installs.
I promise that won't be a problem in the second major release
but for now, You can easily move the uqm directory to where ever suits you best, and change the Launcher script to
uqm -n=launcher/ I apoligize for any inconvience.

Patches for the UQM are avalible on BeShare at the moment
search for uqm-patch and get the most recent date avalible.
I will be updateing patches as soon as new code is released.

As for a PPC version, this is unlikely at this time due to high system requirements currently needed. Also the source
code has big endian issues, When a Mac OS/X and OS 8 and 9 ports are ready, I will try and compile a BeOS PPC release

This is one of the best games EVER

I am so excited to see this game getting back into the hands of gamers, new and old. This is a classic example of a game that rocks without needing 3D first person shooting, or 3D anything, really.

I suspect there are a lot of gamers who didn't grow up with the classic "thinking" games of the DOS and Amiga era, so this game will either be a pile of junk to them ("What?? No 3D??") or a really wonderful discovery of epic proportions.

If you're playing the game for the first time ever, I recommend that you wait until an optimized and stable release comes out so that you get the best experience possible (it's no fun to get pulled out of the dream by a crash or a bug).

Babylon 5 may actually be less complex than this story...

Some stuff
 By Intelinside - Posted on November 26, 2002 - 16:49:35   (#4420)

this game is early in development I will release patches frequently as they are avalible. Make sure you have SDL and SDL_mixer installed, anymore problems running the game post here :) and Check out the Ur Quan Masters Website
