Arch Linux User Repository

few things to let you know guys:

If you change anything in settings but they are like restoring back. solution:
# chown -R <regular_user>:chown /opt/cs2d/
and now your regular user will be able to edit folder /opt/cs2d without root permissions. necesarry to edit settings.

If you still cannot get sound working. solution:
open terminal as root and choose one of these: alsa, pulse, oss (thanks for carstene1ns)
# export ALSOFT_DRIVERS=<alsa/pulse/oss>

Still no sound? didn't you forget to install: openal, alsa-oss/lib32-alsa-oss?

weird error about saying input/output while launching cs2d from terminal? solution: http://blogs.operationaldynamics.com/paul/opensource/wine-i915-or-i965-intel_do_flush_locked
or in words:
$ LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 ./CounterStrike2D -full -24bit
P.S. you might want to uninstall cs2d aur package, download files from official website, extract dem all and move to /opt/cs2d/, do what I have told you in the first lines of this long comment, then create a file /usr/bin/cs2d, make it executable, paste the following content between these lines
----------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
cd /opt/cs2d/
LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 ./CounterStrike2D -full -24bit
----------------------------------------------------------
save it, run it with command "cs2d" or if you'd like - create a DE .desktop launcher :)

Now I have got it successfully working ;) I am thinking of putting this info into a wiki page about cs2d if it exists or even create one. :P

Adopted and updated... hopefully I didn't screw anything up :)

I have orphaned this now, as I do not really play it.

WARNING: I changed the install location from /usr/share/cs2d to /opt/cs2d. If you have modified any .cfg files, they will be deleted. Make backups, if needed.

Solution for OpenAL audio problems:
Install (lib32-)openal, export ALSOFT_DRIVERS=alsa in your shell ← alsa is the name of the output driver (if you use pulseaudio/OSS use pulse/oss respectively).
Then launch cs2d and select "OpenAL Soft" under Options/Sound and restart game.
If it works, put the export line in your .bashrc so it is set on login.

@zypo: is the case of adding alsa-oss/lib32-alsa-oss dependencies, or it might be prejudicial to some users?

Ok, found it. CS2D apparently wants to use OSS for sounds so if you're using ALSA as system sound driver you need to install OSS compatibility library (alsa-oss/lib32-alsa-oss).
