Hi knights of the web :P

Yesterday after doing a routine "emerge world", where nothing apparently
related to opengl was download, I end up with a strange problem. I can't
run amyops for the following reason:

"hddv@gentoo hddv $ armyops
Could not load OpenGL library

History:

Exiting due to error"

well then I've launched xdpyinfo and if I have GLX and NV-GLX present,
NVIDIA-GLX is missing. I also checked my xorg.conf everything is fine (I
have launch "glx" and Driver "nvidia" correctly setup) Then I also emerge
nvidia-kernel nvidia-glx and glibc but it's still impossible to have the
game starting again.

Still, I don't know if the problem is relate to the
game or opengl. How can u test if opengl is working fine? (btw
doing glxgears is ok)

Thanks for any advice

I would suggest renaming/deleting the dir's .armyops200 and/or
..armyops210 then try again.

Well I pity you cause I am running the AA on my Linux box and it rocks.
I get my arse kicked every time I play but I am having so much fun that
I don't care.

For those of you that aren't playing Americas Army, well, I pity you too.

k, hopefully I have a windows partition on this computer....well it's not
exactly the kind of fix that I was expecting but anyway... it's working,
appart from the critical errors that piss me off on bridge SE...

The strange thing is that AA was working great on my Gentoo box for about
a year now. The last thing I did was an emerge world and I mostly get
gnome 2.6.2 stuffs. Opengl seems to work ok. here's my glxinfo output:

hddv@gentoo hddv $ glxinfo
name of display: :0.0
display: :0 screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
server glx version string: 1.3
server glx extensions:
.....

plz help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry I couldn't help more.

The critical errors are not restricted to Bridge SE, they are related to
viewing your team mates on Windows in third person mode. Hit E to view
in first person mode and they won't happen.

You can always tell the people that get a CE, you see the messages:

Caltrap666 has left the server.
Caltrap666 was shot by Bl@ster.

I tried AA on Linux and all the graphics were all funny, I had lines
coming from the weapon sights in a ray pattern. Since I upgraded to the
latest nVidia drivers it works perfectly. Alot smoother than when doing
it on the same machine on Win98, and I can spectate third person with
out crashs.

So you got Gnome updates huh, have you tried running AA using KDE? Did
you get the same errors? Did you try and remove and re-install AA? Since
AA is a binary install maybe it has some sort of environment detection
and expects the old Gnome stuff to be there. Have you searched and/or
asked on the AA forums?

BTW My favourite map is Bridge SE, what userID are you? Mine is hazza96,
I have only been playing for a couple of weeks so I only have 18 honor.

Try preload opengl library with command:
"LD_PRELOAD=/usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1 /your/path/to/armyoops" (wthout ")
If not work, try LD_PRELOAD with full path to libGL library
(/usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/.....)

Yeah it's only happening with the M82 in 3rd person mode but anyway
despite of knowing it I still crash the game all the time because of
that CE (by my fault :S)

in the console of the game type "stat fps" if you want to conpare the fps
under linux and windows (stat fps again to remove the indications)

18 honors and having a tracker account already :P
I love bridge se too and I play this map quite often.
I change my id quite often but right now it's ++_La_ 7eme-T4$$!N_++ it's
from one of the character of a french cult funny movie: "La septieme
compagnie" but I might change any day. (ridht now i have 54 honors)

Well hope to see you soon on that map!!!!!!!

Well just to know: is there a way to get the game back to normal and don't
have to start it by preloading the opengl library???
