Now a hot switching of video modes from options screen isn't finalized. When you will apply changes in the options screen, the program will shut down. You must manually restart the program. 44 45The executable was created with help of MSVC++ 2010, thus the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package may be needed. You can download it from [Microsoft](http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=a7b7a05e-6de6-4d3a-a423-37bf0912db84&displaylang=en). 46 47The program can't be started (because it can't load resources) if the path to the executable contains cyrillic symbols. 48 49There is a workaround for this problem. Run the program by the command shell script called start.cmd from the root program folder. 50 51LINUX 52----- 53 54Check for violetland package in main repositories of your linux distro. If there is nothing, check related wiki page for [third party packages](https://github.com/ooxi/violetland/wiki/Third-Pary-Packages). 55 56An universal way to play violetland on linux is to build the program with help of the cmake build system. You probably can install it from the main repository of your linux distribution. 57Also your system must have the SDL packages (`SDL`, `SDL_image`, `SDL_ttf`, `SDL_mixer`), the same devel packages and gcc. 58 59 60### NOTE FOR UBUNTU USERS 61You should execute command like `sudo apt-get install cmake libsdl-ttf2.0-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libboost-all-dev` to install required packages (tested with Ubuntu 12.04). 62 63Besides, some additional steps are required. 64 65First download and unpack the distribution package or get files from the repository. 66 67Next go to the root distribution directory and make the program using cmake (the default install prefix is `/usr/local`): 68 69 $ git submodule update 70 $ mkdir build 71 $ cd build 72 $ cmake .. 73 $ sudo make install 74 75Then run the program: 76 77 $ violetland 78 79Instead of installing the program to `/usr/local` you can install it in your home folder or everywhere you want. Then probably the root password to access `/usr/local` will be not necessary. To do that you can use next example: 80 81 $ git submodule init; git submodule update 82 $ mkdir build 83 $ cd build 84 $ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../dist .. 85 $ make install 86 $ cd ../dist/bin/ 87 $ ./violetland 88 89In addition you can install the executable and the game data to the separate directory trees: 90 91 $ git submodule init; git submodule update 92 $ mkdir build 93 $ cd build 94 $ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -DDATA_INSTALL_DIR=/usr/share/games/violetland -DLOCALE_INSTALL_DIR=/usr/share/locale .. 95 $ sudo make install 96 97 98### NOTE FOR FEDORA USERS 99 100In order to build Violetland on Fedora 17, you need to install the following packages 101 102 # yum install boost-devel cmake gcc-c++ SDL-devel SDL_image-devel SDL_mixer-devel SDL_ttf-devel 103 104The rest of the build and installation procedure is identical to Ubuntu. 105 106 107OpenBSD 108------- 109 110[OpenBSD](http://www.openbsd.org/) support was tested with OpenBSD 5.2 111 112 # pkg_add boost sdl sdl-image sdl-mixer sdl-ttf 113 $ git clone https://github.com/ooxi/violetland.git; cd violetland 114 $ git submodule init; git submodule update 115 $ mkdir build; cd build 116 $ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../dist .. 117 $ make install 118 119 120Controls 121-------- 122 123 * `w` - Up 124 * `a` - Left 125 * `s` - Down 126 * `d` - Right 127 * `q` - Enter/leave teleport mode 128 * `space` - Grenade 129 * `f` - Toggle Flashlight 130 * `g` - Toggle laser sight 131 * `c` - Abilities menu pause 132 * `esc` - Main menu pause 133 * `right mouse click` - Fire 134 * `left mouse click` - Reload 135 136
