Screen Resolution Resetting

[Nationalist]

Hello

I installed Tremulous on Linux SuSE 10.1. I set my resolution to 1280x1024. When I restart Tremulous, my resolution is set to 640x480. I reset my resolution multiple times but it goes back to 640x480.

I'm wondering if the command sh tremulous-1.1.0-installer.x86.run instead of sh ./tremulous-1.1.0-installer.x86.run has anything to do with it?

Any ideas?

Do you run that command every time you wanna play???  :eek:
That's the installer, you should run it only once...
Once installed you should be able to start the game with:
/usr/local/bin/tremulous

Those two commands are identical.

I installed Tremulous on Linux SuSE 10.1. I set my resolution to 1280x1024. When I restart Tremulous, my resolution is set to 640x480. I've tried resetting my resolution multiple times but it goes back to 640x480.

Are you saying that your game resolution settings aren't being saved or that when you quit Tremulous your resolution doesn't switch back properly?

There were two tremulous icons in my games menu. I assumed they both did the same thing so I deleted one of them. I launch the game with the remaining icon.

What is your recommendation?

Open ~/.tremulous/base/autogen.cfg in your text editor and search for 'unsafe' without apostrophes. I bet you'll find about 20 lines that read 'seta r_foo "bar" unsafe'. If you do, copy all those lines to ~/.tremulous/base/autoexec.cfg and delete the word 'unsafe'. Problem solved.

I'm not seeing what you're looking for.

Ok, I fixed it.

It turns out that Tremulous executes from usr/local/bin/tremulous.x86 and not usr/local/games/tremulous/tremulous.x86. So, when I deleted one of the two shortcuts created by the installer [thinking one was a duplicate] I deleted the shortcut that results in program settings being saved.

All is well now.

no its not, why on earth did you install trem globally?

[Nationalist]

What's wrong with installing trem globally?

[stahlsau]

nothing afaik. I think it does this by default.
Who cares? Although linux is a perfect multiuser system, not everyone uses it as one. Most people i know running linux use it as singleuser-system, and so they could install it to /var if they like to

Trem is a program not user data so should not be in /home

[rasz_pl]

trem installs globally only when you install it as root (last time i checked)

[David]

only root can install globally. whats wrong with that?

I reinstalled Tremulous to my Home dir and now I have the same problem I had before with my resolution going back to 640x480. Since this is the second time i've had the problem in two installs, I would call it a confirmed bug.

Does anyone know of a workaround?

[rasz_pl]

delete autogen.cfg

[Nationalist]

I deleted autogen.cfg in the base and base2 folders. My resolution still resets back to 640x480. I checked the permission of my .tremulous folder and everything is as it should be.

[rasz_pl]

seta r_mode "6"
seta r_fullscreen "1"

find those in your new autogen adn change to 6 and 1

edit: 1 not 0, my bad

[Nationalist]

Tried it and it didn't work.

I noticed that if I set my resolution to 1024x768, that is the resolution I run at the next time I start Tremulous. It appears that 1280x1024 is the problematic resolution. Also, if I set it to 32bit, it goes back to default when I restart Tremulous.

[rasz_pl]

I know about resetting resolution with mipmap_nearest, but you got linear so its weird ...

[Nationalist]

I just have no idea what to do about this. I can only hope it's a bug that will be fixed.

[Nationalist]

Loandbehold the same problem has manifested itself in Windows XP SP2.

You have a bug !!

[rasz_pl]

Loandbehold the same problem has manifested itself in Windows XP SP2.

You have a bug !!

again, in autogen, do you have
seta r_mode "6"
seta r_fullscreen "1"
??
