csdemo comes from the crystalspace package and the data needed for this demo comes from crystalspace-data.
However, crystalspace-data is out of date (0.98) so the csdemo.zip file is out of date if you install it without any further checking.

If you combine these two versions running csdemo with that zip file will create the following error:
$ csdemo /usr/lib/crystalspace/data/demodata.zip

please also package CEL.

Appears to still be an issue in Gutsy. We are up on UVF now though so the data package would need a UVFe.

Also, please file a seperate bug requesting the packaging of CEL so as not to confuse the two tasks.

Thank you!

After looking at this, this package is a mess. There shouldn't even be a seperate data source package and it's the wrong version. Also according to some folks on #crystalspace, csdemo is somewhat deprecated anyway.

Yeah, the problem is still there.

Will this be fixed, or till the next release?

Thanks.

This is still a problem on Hardy.

A. Bram Neijt posted a lot of error messages, but I think most of them come from a misconfiguration of CS's VFS.

I've recently been trying, with limited success, to get CS's wxtest program working under kubuntu gutsy, and came across some similar-looking messages.

Try changing three of the last four lines of /etc/crystalspace/vfs.cfg to read:

VFS.Unix.CS_SHAREDIR = /usr/lib/crystalspace
VFS.Unix.CS_DATADIR = /usr/lib/crystalspace/data
VFS.Unix.CS_CONFIGDIR = /etc/crystalspace
VFS.Unix.CS_MAPDIR = /usr/lib/crystalspace/data/maps

That way, CS should be able to find a lot of its files, and you should get fewer errors.

Regards, Non.

Hm, I confirm that it works. Hope they will correct it in the next package. For now, it's still the same.

This bug was fixed in the package crystalspace - 1.2.1-0ubuntu1
