Error when installing freespace demo?

[carvedeye]

Hi whenever i try to install the demo i get an error which says "interpreter: Executing non-function in line 9". Has anyone got any ideas as to why? Im running AmigaOS 4.1 on a sam440ep.

TIA

With older systems it usually popped up when having an old version of installer.

But this is a fresh install of amigaos 4.1 with update 1 & 2?

[carvedeye]

So do i need a new installer?

[carvedeye]

So what is the best way around this for me to get the installer to work? I really want to play this game.

If you remove the lines that cause the problem, the installer works. But like I said, I don't think the game will work for you even if you install it.

An update for the full game will be out soon. I don't know if a new demo will be published.

How do i remove the lines ? sorry im a total noob with the amiga OS

[carvedeye]

And what lines do i remove? sorry im still pretty new to all this

[carvedeye]

Well since i was having problems with quite a few games i decided to do a clean installation of the OS with update 1 and the game is now installing will let you all know how it plays

Well the game starts but when i try to enter a name on the first menu it says there is not enough space ? and then it will crash to workbench?

[carvedeye]

Could it be because i need warp3d? or could it be becuase im using an adaptor for the internal onboard display (i have a vga adaptor that plugs on the sam internaly) or is it becuase i just have not got a clue what im doing with amiga's as all my games either dont install or just simply crash?

[carvedeye]

Or god forbid, you could simply use a PC or a Mac to run it. Not like the universe is going to implode.

Yes i could but why would i want to do that when i can play it on a miggy. its not just that game its all games they install or wont install and when they are installed they either play then crash or dont play at all.

[carvedeye]

It more likely because it was compiled for WarpOS many years ago with an ancient compiler, and used dirty tricks to get decent speed out of the old PowerUP hardware.

A new build of the full game for OS4.1 will be out soon, though.

look forward to it

[carvedeye]

well i have managed to get one game working and thats heretic II (demo) not a bad game

[carvedeye]
