[Phantom Hoover]

After two years, the lost knowledge of how to build and package Knossos for distribution has been rediscovered. This allows us to finally deploy some small but significant fixes, and potentially more in the future.

Current build is here — 2022.08.29

I don't have a formal changelog but here are the notable changes I'm aware of:

• Kiloku fixed some sort of issue with joystick setup. I don't know the details but it sounds annoying if you use joysticks.
• ngld fixed the 'install from GoG installer' so it actually works against the latest GoG installer. This also means it doesn't work against older GoG installer files, though.
• EatThePath made the 'FSO settings' window slightly bigger, so you don't have to scroll down to see the 'save' button
• I changed the timer for reloading the master mod list from once an hour to once a day, because it was wasting a ton of everyone's time. Remember to use the manual reload button if you know there are updates you want to see.
• EatThePath expanded the error messages on mod dependency resolution to be considerably more informative.

Source code for these changes can be found at https://github.com/PhantomHoover/old-knossos

I don't use Windows, how do I get these new builds?

Depends on what you're using instead:

"I use Arch, btw" — take the PKGBUILD from the AUR and apply the following patch (paste it into a file in the same directory called 'fix.patch' and run 'patch PKGBUILD fix.patch'):

"I use Ubuntu, or some other Linux distribution" — you're kind of on your own here, I can walk you through how to run Knossos in 'dev mode' directly but packaging it all up with all of its dependencies is beyond my current means.

"I use MacOS" — you're on your own here. God have mercy on you. (It should be fairly straightforward but I just don't have Mac hardware to test on.)

[Galemp]

Oh yay! Knossos is being maintained again!

I don't suppose this is the right place for feature requests?

[wookieejedi]

Alas probably not. As a community we still don't have easy capabilities to change things in Knossos, and with ngld (the dev) tied up with RL the chance of any larger changes is relatively low.

[EatThePath]

honestly, speaking as someone who is foolish enough to tinker, I think it's useful to know what people need out of it, and what their problems are, especially if they can be specific. There's a few headline things we'd like to fix or change, but a lot of it has gotten murky in the haze of people just learning to live with the problems.

[Galemp]

Mostly I'd like a way to tag mods, and sort and search them. That would be the best way to handle a LOT of stuff, like which ones are voice acted and which are just modpacks.

[Phantom Hoover]

The tags would have to be stored server-side, and making and deploying changes to the Nebula server software is still a bit further down the line (although there are changes we'd definitely like to make).

[Phantom Hoover]

New update for ETP's dependency resolution error message changes.

"I use Ubuntu, or some other Linux distribution" — you're kind of on your own here, I can walk you through how to run Knossos in 'dev mode' directly but packaging it all up with all of its dependencies is beyond my current means.

Here's a Bash script that should get Knossos working for you if you're on Ubuntu/Kubuntu 20.04

Code: [Select]

#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Set up and run Knossos
# You need: Python 3.8, pipenv, yarn, and ninja
# NOTE: Run this script in the directory where you cloned the Knossos
# repository to, or set the KNOSSOS_DIR environment variable.

# In case setting up Knossos fails for some reason, like unexpected network
# changes, etc.
function cleanupvenv() {
    venvfiles=(lib lib64 bin share include pyvenv.cfg)
    for fname in $venvfiles; do
        rm -rf $fname
    done
}

if [[ ! -f pyvenv.cfg ]]; then
# Create a virtual environment in the Knossos directory
python3 -m venv ${KNOSSOS_DIR:-.}

# Activate it
source ./bin/activate

# Install Python/Javascript dependencies
pipenv install || { cleanupvenv; exit 1; }
yarn install || { cleanupvenv; exit 1; }

# Set up
pipenv run python configure.py || { cleanupvenv; exit 1; }

# Leave virtual environment
deactivate
fi  # end if

# Enter virtual environment
source ./bin/activate

# Run Knossos
ninja run

I already posted on discord, but in case someone has an idea here.   

I've been having a time of it trying to get this to work on Fedora (currently v36 though I had the issue in v35 as well).  I also had this same exact issue when I worked around all the little python obsolecenses in 14.3.  So it can't be anything unique Phantom Hoover did.   I've also tried the build script above and same result.

For me the app build builds correctly, no real error to speak.  But then when it launches, I will get just a grey box with the header. No buttons except the top window controls.



If it helps here is the output of the buildscript above:

A similar issue on a long-running arch system could be solved by removing bad mime type data, see here my comment on the AUR page for knossos:

The whitescreen bug mentioned by Bloodaxe, davvil and others can be fully fixed by deleting the files

~/.local/share/mime/packages/user-extension-(htm|html|shtml|xht|xhtml).xml

as well as

~/.local/share/mime/application/x-extension-(htm|html|shtml|xht|xhtml).xml

and then regenerating the mime database. No old packages need to be used after that.

Paths to the offending files may differ per distribution.

[Darklord42]

None of the mime type data those locations matched your description with (htm|html|shtml|xht|xhtml).  Just a bunch of wine extensions.  Never the less I tried removing them and redoing the database with

update-mime-database '~/.local/share/mime/'

No change. 

[EDIT]

nothing htm or html in /usr/local/share/mime or /usr/share/mime as well

Indeed I've had it running before on ubuntu mate cerca 20.04.  The issue is getting this to run on modern Fedora. 

[Darklord42]

Oh thank heaven....  After installing fedora 37, i tried building it again on a whim.  Now it works.  Lord knows why but I'll take it!

I did have to run export NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider npm run watch  (The first time that is)
before running ninja run.

[dr_costas]

thank you all! After a hiatus away from the forums for like 15 years, and the game for 5 years, I found your guide how to install Knossos on my linux machine! Had to extract that node thingy, too.
And I managed to finish my first training mission. WTF this is a whole new game from what I remember even a few years ago! Thank you for the instructions!

[TrashMan]

MEGA keeps giving errors. Any alternate downlaod locations?

[TrashMan]

Ok, Re-installed Knossos 1.4.3 in a new folder, detects all my installs but can't start ANY campaign/module. Starting FSO flashes for a second, then ... Nothing happens.

Downloaded 1.5.0., installed in new folder, get dll erros on (api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1-0.dll ) start? Fugg.. Yeah, on Win7

EDIT: Found the file on the internet, plopped it into the folder... Knossoss still doesnt' start. No errors this time. Just... nothing.

This build of Knossos doesn't seem to want to allow me to download AVX builds of RC releases.  0.14.3 did.

This build of Knossos doesn't seem to want to allow me to download AVX builds of RC releases.  0.14.3 did.

This isn't a big deal: AVX doesn't offer much of an improvement over SSE2 (it might actually be slower under certain circumstances).
