depends_i686 is incompatible with AUR helpers

Hey, so for people who can not use etlegacy (punkbuster or etpro) and want to play with sound:

After some experiements and reading stuff online:

Use official installation for game: https://cdn.splashdamage.com/downloads/games/wet/et260b.x86_full.zip

et-sdl-sound from here: https://web.archive.org/web/20170819003443/http.kernwaffe.de/et/ET-Installer/et-sdl-sound

Install multilib SDL 1.2 (DOES NOT WORK WITH SDL2.x or with 64bit SDL 1.2) https://www.archlinux.org/packages/multilib/x86_64/lib32-sdl/

Good luck!

niezniszczalny Hmm wierd for me its still work... did you install lib32-sdl ?? (opsie i guess i forgot say about this one :) ) Do you edit et-sdl-sound (GAME_DIR='/usr/local/games/enemy-territory/') then run script ./et-sdl-sound Try download game from https://cdn.splashdamage.com/downloads/games/wet/et260b.x86_full.zip

Sound doesn't work for me ...

------- sound initialization ------- /dev/dsp: No such file or directory Could not open /dev/dsp

I did everything mentioned on ET archwiki, I also did everything mentioned on ALSA archwiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Advanced_Linux_Sound_Architecture#OSS_compatibility)
I also did what @tazz mentioned in last comment.

Still no sound ;/ Anybody?

No sound ? No problem wget http://wolfet.pl/downloads/et-sdl-sound chmod a+x et-sdl-sound edit GAME_DIR .. it work for me. 2019 still ppl play it Lol..I know there is ET:Legacy mod that fix many bugs include sound "but the mod is so bugy" and you can't play Etpro mod. I am wondering what somehow to merge this file from the binaries

cookiengineer You can use this page to generate a valid Etkey too: http://etkey.org/

The etkey binary is broken, it's a legacy shell script that doesn't run anymore. The requirements for this keygen are the "ntp" package and awk. Also, you have to "touch /var/db/ntp-kod" via root, otherwise the keygen will fail and do some shit you ain't want it to.

I refactored the keygen so it doesn't require a "dialog" binary anymore and just generates a new key without bothering the user too much: https://gist.github.com/cookiengineer/862e986b861b6700cb0cd7d4dcec364b

omfg what is wrong with u people.. where is the rage?

how can u play without sound

this doesent work either https://wiki.libsdl.org/Installation

cuz i get error : can't locate libSDL.so

and btw im wondering why et-sdl-sound is optional when its absolutely needed, is there really anyone who plays without sound? ;/

also i have problem with vsync

i see like every half second it goes from max fps to 60 fps and constantly the same, well i dont know where is setting in game for that or if there any at all

but i tried to put (all at once) in ~/.nvidia-settings-rc

SyncToVBlank=0 and

0/SyncToVBlank=0 and also

__GL_SYNC_TO_VBLANK=0

yet nothing works

EDIT: ok vsync problem no longer true because after nvidia update yesterday (12.08.2018) i have max fps what i specified in config and it doesent drop at all

but sound problem still remains so i cant play

makepkg is running strip on the installed binaries. Although there isn't anything to strip, it still changes a handful of bytes in the file. This changes the checksum of the file, which in turn breaks et-sdl-sound, which uses checksums to map binaries to specific versions of games.
