BlobbyVolley for OpenSUSE 11.0


Finally I packaged Blobby for the distribution (after applying some small fixes, like adding the
#include <algorithm>
statement).
For those who do not know Blobby:

BlobbyVolley is the head-to-head multiplayer volleyball game. It is one of the best games to be played between some ego-shooters (like Unreal Tournament or Quake) at LAN-partys :-)

At least to play you need to change:



  • create in your home directory (e.g. mkdir /home/pkirsch/.blobby) the ".blobby" directory.
  • copy from /usr/share/games/blobbyvolley/ the data directory in your freshly created .blobby directory
  • Why? some config files are needed to start BlobbyVolley
  • If you have problems with starting the game in your OpenSUSE then change in your config.xml (located in your .blobby directory)


    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

    <userconfig>
    <var name="device" value="SDL"/>
    <var name="fullscreen" value="false"/>
    <var name="left_blobby_color_r" value="0"/>
    <var name="left_blobby_color_g" value="0"/>
    <var name="left_blobby_color_b" value="255"/>
    <var name="left_blobby_oscillate" value="false"/>
    <var name="right_blobby_color_r" value="255"/>
    <var name="right_blobby_color_g" value="0"/>
    <var name="right_blobby_color_b" value="0"/>
    <var name="right_blobby_oscillate" value="false"/>
    <var name="left_script_name" value="dumbjump.lua"/>
    <var name="right_script_name" value="simbel.lua"/>
    <var name="left_player_human" value="true"/>
    <var name="right_player_human" value="true"/>
    <var name="left_player_name" value="Left Player"/>
    <var name="right_player_name" value="Right Player"/>
    <var name="gamefps" value="75"/>
    <var name="global_volume" value="0.960000"/>
    <var name="mute" value="false"/>
    <var name="scoretowin" value="15"/>
    <var name="showfps" value="false"/>
    <var name="blood" value="false"/>
    <var name="background" value="strand1.bmp"/>
    <var name="network_side" value="0"/>
    <var name="network_last_server" value="blobby.openanno.org"/>
    </userconfig>

    change the string "OpenGL" to "SDL" and it should work (otherwise open me a bug at Novell's Bugzilla)
  • Some hint: Some libraries are needed: SDL physfs boost but they should all installable with zypper in SDL physfs boost
