Add antichamber, an humble (indie!) bundle game #14

This game uses 32bit libs.
Nixos users, do not forget to enable hardware.opengl.driSupport32Bit

Profpatsch · 2017-03-11T16:32:45Z

On my machine it builds, but doesn’t run:

@Profpatsch I got the same error. This is not an error actually. This means that the application failed before printing its last error (killed with non-emtpy error buffers). I solved it by enabling hardware.opengl.driSupport32Bit

I solved it by enabling hardware.opengl.driSupport32Bit

It’s enabled here, doesn’t work.

Update: Ah, it starts with a black screen, after a while that screen closes but the music starts. So the game is running, but no image.

+  '';
+
+  meta.platforms = lib.platforms.linux32;


So the package only works on i686-linux but doesn't work on x86_64-linux?

It's indeed a mistake.

Could you please drop this then?

+    # Unpack binaries and data into $dest
+    mkdir -p "$dest"
+    ${unzip}/bin/unzip $src "data/*" -d $dest && [ $? -le 2 ]


What about unpackCmd = "${unzip}/bin/unzip -d \"$name\" \"$curSrc\" 'data/*'"; instead of throwing everything into installPhase?

Even better: just unzip the data folder, so no -d is needed.

It's an habit I started with archlinux & AUR. I want to unzip in $dest because it is in the nix store partition, while $CWD will be on a temporary partition. For big binary/data archives, this is faster because it remains on the same partition, and mv operations are mostly immediate.

This could however go in the unpackPhase, but the generic build script requires the unpack phase to unpack into the temporary directory used for the build.
It is truly an install phase, unpack is only needed for sources before compilation. There is no such thing here.

Okay, fair enough, for very large files this would take ages.

+    cd $dest/Binaries/Linux/
+    exec ./UDKGame-Linux "$@"


Where does this game place its save files or similar state? I've found that most games are trying to use the current directory as the base directory. In this case it's a store path, which will be read-only on NixOS.

It uses $HOME, probably via XDG. Setting $CWD is recquired for the game to find data files with a relative path.

+    mkdir -p "$dest"
+    ${unzip}/bin/unzip $src "data/*" -d $dest && [ $? -le 2 ]
+    mv $dest/data/*/* $dest


I'd assume here that data/* is just a single directory, right? If yes, see the above comment about unzip, which in this case would make even more sense to pass that subdirectory to unzip.

No, it's directories + files, but I only want the directories (no readme and installer stuffs)

Apparently this was merged as-is in 1fcecd0 by @Profpatsch (with wrong attribution to @aszlig). Forget all the comments here then.

@Profpatsch If you still have issues with this game, you should definitely try to start it on its own Xephyr instance. This is often sufficient for me to access the menu and disable fullscreen. Then I can start is normally. I used to think it was related to i3. Wath is your window manager ?

@layus

This reverts commit 1fcecd0. It was written by @layus and the code came from PR #14.

Profpatsch · 2017-07-24T12:10:58Z

Ah, right. I still had it lying in my working directory and thought it was an old code snippet from @aszlig.
I reverted the commit in b44d56e, so we can merge this.

aszlig

Okay, was going to merge this, but I found a few issues left. Can you please address them? Thanks in advance :-)

Why are you using stdenv_32bit here? You're already using callPackage_i686 which already passes pkgsi686Linux function arguments. Thus stdenv_32bit is equal to stdenv (if no callPackage_i686 was used, it would use multilib).

What is the correct way to handle this then ? What is the purpose of "callPackage_i686" ?
Is multilib not what we want on 64bit arch ?

Please add these dependencies to the package function arguments explicitly.

@aszlig Updated, thanks :-)

@layus

Pull request is from @layus and I haven't tested the game, because I don't own it myself, but apparently @Profpatsch seems to got it working to the point of having a black screen, but that could be a rendering issue. So I'm merging this anyway, because even if only one person (@layus) is going to play it, it won't hurt and if multiple people using the expressions we probably get bug reports :-)
