Germán Diago

Hello. I'm trying to compile the game and I was successful. But the problem is that I can't run it because of a locale problem. My machine runs a 64-bit linux 10.04. I get this exact problem: ../../../source/pch/test/../../../source/ps/XML/tests/test_Xeromyces.h:41: Error: Test failed: locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid test_dbg: /usr/include/boost/smart_ptr/shared_ptr.hpp:418: T* boost::shared_ptr< <template-parameter-1-1> >::operator->() const [with T = RealDirectory]: Assertion `px != 0' failed. It's a locale problem I think. The locale is not valid. Any workaround? I need to run the game in order to create code for it!

Thanks. I'll see what I can find there.

Can anyone guide me a little on what would be useful to do? I've been looking a little at the source code to get familiar with it, but don't know what would be useful.

Looking for open source games in linux . I saw an entry in wikipedia. But I couldn't believe it was an open source game!

Hello everyone. Let me introduce myself. My name is Germán Diago, I'm a student from Spain, and I'm finishing my 5-year Computer Science degree this year, in UJI University (Castellón, near Valencia) I'm 26. I've seen the game and it looks... great! to say the least. I couldn't believe this game was free software! Congratulations for your work. I'm a skilled programmer in C++, with no problem in writing code in that language. I know the standard library quite well and boost as well. I'm no OpenGL expert, so I think I can't help more than the people who are working on that there, who look quite expert. But I can offer myself to program AI and Gameplay pieces of the game if you want. Things like path finding maybe, or gameplay state. But for now I don't know how much spare time I have. The thing is that I want to try to help inside my possibilites, since I must finish my degree. Maybe in summer I will be able to help more than I can until June. I won't have any problem in learning Javascript if necessary. It's an easy language for what I saw. So if you want something from me tell me and I can tell you which tasks I can do. An explanation of the source code would be very welcome, besides the candidate tasks you would like me to code. I'm usually an ubuntu linux user, but if I must use windows 7, vista or xp, there's no problem. Thanks.
