Re: wormux on n900
 

Wormux is already available for n900 and is waiting to be accepted to extras repository http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...0.8.4-0maemo5/

Re: wormux on n900
 

meaning no disrespect to the author of wormux, a game i have played and enjoyed, but i would like to see hedgewars on the n900 as well. :)

Re: wormux on n900
 

Hedgewars is written in Free Pascal and I'm not sure they have armel target yet (yes, I tried getting the compiler running in SDK with no luck).

Re: wormux on n900
 

yes! hedgewars is sooo much playable :)

wormux is nice, and does have nice graphics, but the gameplay is a little bit off.

Re: wormux on n900
 

Yeah, Hedgewars is much better than Wormux in my eyes so it would be nice if there would be a port...

Re: wormux on n900
 

please update to version 0.8.5 I can't play online with this version 0.8.4

Re: wormux on n900
 

Wormux isn't playable on n900. I only achieve 1-2 fps and it's really laggy.

Re: wormux on n900
 

Then you have some problems with your N900. Try rebooting first. Disabling music makes it faster too.

Re: wormux on n900
 

I found that when I first started it up originally it would be laggy. But after I stopped it and tried again it plays perfectly. The only time it lags is when I blow up someone with a full bakooza blast and they go flying. The game can't keep track of where they are so it jumps from the blast to them dropping into the ocean lol.

Re: wormux on n900
 

such a simple game should run flawlesly on device this powerfull.
But thanks for the tip. I'll try it out and see what happens.
I am doubtfull cos I haven't experienced any performance issues in other applications like openarena.

Re: wormux on n900
 

yes, Wormux is not very efficient. But 1-2 fps is not normal. OpenArena is not very good comparison because it uses powervr for graphics.

Re: wormux on n900
 

I noticed that Wormux got little faster after i disabled Calendar widget.

Re: wormux on n900
 

is this game like 'worms'

is it as feature rich?

Re: wormux on n900
 

It is not exactly like Worms but it comes close. I think Hedgewars is the better game if you want to have a "Worms feeling". You can test both games also on your PC: http://www.wormux.org/ http://www.hedgewars.org/

Re: wormux on n900
 

i've posted a video about wormux on the n900

Re: wormux on n900
 

The Hedgewars developers are creating a port for the iPhone and I have already asked them for a N900 version. It would be nice if you could do the same (so it gains more importance): http://www.hedgewars.org/node/1946

Re: wormux on n900
 

I see that now wormux is 0.9.0-0maemo1
anyone knows about the changelog ?

Re: wormux on n900
 

* Artificial Intelligence!!! No more hidden feature AI-stupid. The new AI is smart.
* Improved quality of network games
* Two new teams: Postfix and Hexley
* Add 3 new maps. Delete 3 old ones.
* Some display and gameplay improvements
* A lot of other improvements and bug fixes

and it runs ALOT faster.
New video coming soon...

Re: wormux on n900
 

seems to be great, maybe this is the moment to download it :)
waiting for the video :)

Re: wormux on n900
 

Weird, mine crashes after the update(when trying to open the application).

Re: wormux on n900
 

yes, mine too. a reinstall fixed that...

Re: wormux on n900
 

mine crashed too before the game lauched... trying to reinstall now

Re: wormux on n900
 

It writes me the cpp cant open the /opt/maemo/usr/games/wormux/menu/background.png file

My /usr/share/games/wormux-data directory is a symbolic linked directory that is on the internal large storage, not on the rootfs, maybe the app cant handle symbolic linked directories.

It could be great if the app files wont be installed into the rootfs in the future.

Re: wormux on n900
 

oh I love this!
were multilayer maps available in the old version?
I think not....
this gets better and better.
can't wait to come home to make the new video. comparing it also with the old one.
the startup time and level-load time is also MUCH faster...
amazing.
i would love to be able to scroll using the mini map....

Re: wormux on n900
 

after I reinstalled it it's still crashing... hope the bug could be fixe
unplayabe :(

Re: wormux on n900
 

thats really strage.
try to uninstall,
reboot
update program manager
install.

because here it works perfectly...

Re: wormux on n900
 

What fixed it for me:

Uninstall,
Re-install the 50MB version
Then check for updates and download the ~73MB version(update)

Re: wormux on n900
 

-0maemo1 version doesn't work when updating from old version, it was available only from extras-devel.

-0maemo2 should work with updates ( I didn't actually test it yet) and it's available from extras-testing

Re: wormux on n900
 

i updated from 0maemo1 to 0maemo2 , it doesn't change a thing.
i desinstall and reinstall the 0maemo2 , still the same... mmmmh any solution, am I the onlyone ?

Re: wormux on n900
 

I uploaded a new video! Check it out, while it's hot! -- maemo Games: Wormux Update for N900 http://youtu.be/ZyA1-AQieaI

Re: wormux on n900
 

Not sure why - but recent updates have really killed the speed on wormux. I am lucky to get 3 - 10 frames a second now, down from 20+

Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

Re: wormux on n900
 

Try rebooting.


And since there seems to be more than 2 testers, please vote on the package QA page. See instructions from http://wiki.maemo.org/Extras-testing

Re: wormux on n900
 

I will give that a shot - though I have rebooted several times since installing the software.

That did it - wonder WHY it did it.

Re: wormux on n900
 

is the new 0.9 version of Wormux more playable fps wise?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

and many thanks to the wormux developer for porting the latest version of wormux to the n900. :)

Re: wormux on n900
 

pls add some screen shot...i can only see 1 shot that not clear...

Re: wormux on n900
 

goto www.wormux.org to see more screenshots. Or just download and play it yourself?

Re: wormux on n900
 

I've made a comparison some time ago:

Re: wormux on n900-Jetpack, antigravity, etc
 

Do the non-weapons items in Wormux function? I selected the jetpack, then tried antigravity, but couldn't figure out how to use these things.

Re: wormux on n900
 

what is FPS of this game? still slow?
