Worms Armageddon working in Haiku

Forum thread started by CypressTwist on Sat, 2014-06-28 12:50

Here's how to get Worms Armageddon working in Haiku. Tested with the latest nighly build.

Download the beta of Worms Armageddon from here:

http://pulkomandy.tk/~beosarchive/unsorted/ftp.beos.hu/ftp.beos.hu/beos/...

Extract it somewhere. Now download this fix:

http://tim32.org/~muzer/WA-fix.tar.bz2

Extract the archive and move the WA-fix folder into the WA folder.
Open up a Terminal windo and cd to /WA/WA-fix and run 

./fix.sh

From the same Terminal window 

cd ..

and 

./PlayWorms.sh

The game has no sound since the fix stops the Media Server in order for the game to work. The audio files in the game cannot be played by Haiku's Media Server. Also there's no fullscreen mode since the game will crash if you try to make it fullscreen using the in-game options menu. Other than that it's playable.

Minetest and Minecraft on Haiku?

Forum thread started by Linuxgamer94 on Sun, 2014-01-26 09:51

I was woundering if anyone out there was working on a port of the Minecraft clone Minetest? I looked on Haikuware and it seems like there is no port and no world of Haiku even on the forums. Is this just becuase no one has attemped it yet or just becuase Hiaku does not have many games. Minetest is written in C so I would not think it should be hard to port over? I also looked and there is no port of jdk on haikuware ether and I know there was a port arround some weare. does minecraft run on Haiku any more? I know Windows has its own version and now OSX has its own as whell and Linux uses the .jar file.

Want to make a bitcoin donation

Forum thread started by Christian_uy on Sun, 2014-01-05 15:08

Hi everyone! I love this proyect I have been following it since a while now and I want to make a bitcoin donation. I have to do this from Bitstamp where I have an account. But I see that the wallet has changed from last time I checked is that normal ? now it is 1D3MxjWT7xKTNEz17TFeMa6q9p7vjwo9Ap is that correct ? Also I see that the amount must be 0.01 ("Send exactly 0.01 BTC (plus miner fee) to:") I want to know if there is any problem if the amount is different.
I think I am missing something here because normally I only need a destination wallet and the amount can be any.
Sorry if this question is too stupid. Thanks. Christian

Hmm. Isn't this generally how BeOS/Haiku have worked all along? Not multi-process of course, but the general concept of spreading the work among multiple CPUs...

How many years has it been? And some of the rest of the world is only now starting to catch on?

Adding another WLAN router to the network

Forum thread started by humdinger on Mon, 2013-11-18 16:14

Hello everyone!

As I don't have much experience with networks, I hope someone here can help me with my question. I want to add another WLAN router to my network. I have a Fritz WLAN-box as my router connecting me to my ISP. To that router connect a desktop in the basement and a TV in the living room via LAN. Also via LAN the Fritz is connected to the WAN-port of an old US Robotics WLAN-router on the first floor. (Unfortunately the WLAN of the Fritz is too weak to reach the upper floor...)
At the US Robotics hang via LAN a TV, AV receiver, media player and a NAS (which will be moved to the basement and connect to the Fritz eventually).

Currently, the US Robotics creates its own "subnet" (?) handing out IPs through its DHCP server. Probably a braindead setup, but it has worked for me so far and things always went pear-shaped. However, now that the NAS should be available in the whole home network, it's time to sanitize things...

Unfortunately I have only a vague idea who deals IPs to whom, if any mysterious subnetmasks, forwarding and what have you gets involved.
This is my understanding of how it might work:

Fritz box:
IP: 192.168.178.1
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
DHCP on: 192.168.178.100 to 192.168.178.200

That would leave me 192.168.178.2 to 192.168.178.99 for static IPs for some devices, right?

US Robotics:
IP: 192.168.178.2
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
DHCP off

Now, the devices connected to either the Fritz or the US Robotics (via LAN or WLAN) will all get either their IPs dynamically (100-200) or can choose static IPs (3-99).

Is this correct?
Is it correct to connect the US Robotics' WAN to a Fritz' LAN plug, or does it maybe have to be LAN instead?

Regards,
Humdinger
