[FreeBSD] Java script error

[JBERT]

Hello,

I'm trying to use 0ad on a FreeBSD workstation (diskless, i7-4470, 16 GB, intel GPU).

pythagore:[~] > uname -a
FreeBSD pythagore 13.0-RELEASE-p4 FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE-p4 #0: Tue Aug 24 07:33:27 UTC 2021     root@amd64-builder.daemonology.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/amd64.amd64/sys/GENERIC  amd64

0ad crashes in maps initialization with a segfault (and a lot of Javascript errors):

Of course, I have checked that I only have one javascript engine on this system:

root@pythagore:~ # pkg info | grep spider
spidermonkey78-78.9.0_4        Standalone JavaScript based from Mozilla 78-esr
root@pythagore:~ # pkg info | grep 0ad
0ad-0.0.25b_5                  Real-time strategy (RTS) game of ancient warfare
root@pythagore:~ # 

If I remember, old 0ad releases ran like a charm. I suppose I have done a mistake somewhere. Help will be welcome.

Regards,

JB

The file Damage.js is not in  the release version.

This file removed 5 years ago
Probably installed old mods? Try run with default mods:
 

0ad '-conf=mod.enabledmods:mod public'

or check $PATH (probably old binary file)
 

$ 0ad -version
Pyrogenesis 0.0.25

What nwtour said, also welcome and thanks for trying the game on FreeBSD

@JBERT https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/tree/games/0ad/Makefile
Look like package build doesn't clean old files
Clean ${STAGEDIR}${DATADIR}/mods/public and ${STAGEDIR}${DATADIR}/mods/mod

and re-unpack data from http://releases.wildfiregames.com/0ad-0.0.25b-alpha-unix-data.tar.xz

Thanks a lot for your answers. I have deleted 0ad package and some files were not delete in share/0ad. Now, I have purged these files and I'm trying to reinstall 0ad (but with my 4 Mbps internet connection, it takes a while ;-) ).

OK. I have reinstalled 0ad and it runs as expected. Next problem, it runs without sound. On Linux side, it seems to use alsa. On my FreeBSD, I use pulseaudio (as motherboard has two integrated sound adapters) but alsa-plugin is not loaded when 0ad is launched.

No. 0 A.D. uses OpenAL

Try create ~/.config/alsoft.conf with content

[JBERT]

FreeBSD provides alsoft, but without pulseaudio support. I have rebuilt alsoft from sources with pulseaudio support and 0ad runs now as expected. Thanks a lot.

Best regards,
