Usually the ones I see in the crackhouse etc are "crackheads", but I'm fairly sure I just saw a "Crack Head" in the CCS. And yes, it seems to exist in the source as well...

From creaturetypes.cpp, line 1610 onwards...

Code: [Select]

      case CREATURE_CRACKHEAD:
         strcpy(cr.name,"Crack Head");
         GIVE_WEAPON_CIVILIAN;
         if(!LCSrandom(5))
         {
            Weapon w=Weapon(*weapontype[getweapontype("WEAPON_KNIFE")]);
            cr.give_weapon(w,NULL);
         }
         armor=new Armor(*armortype[getarmortype("ARMOR_CLOTHES")]);
         cr.give_armor(*armor,NULL);
         cr.money=LCSrandom(31)+20;
         cr.juice=-20;
         if(cr.align==-1)
            cr.align=LCSrandom(2);
         cr.age=AGE_YOUNGADULT;

         attcap[ATTRIBUTE_INTELLIGENCE]=1;
         attcap[ATTRIBUTE_HEALTH]=1+LCSrandom(5);
         attnum-=10;
         break;

I've been trying to get LCS to run on my Mac using the latest version and Wine. When I try to run crimesquad.exe in the terminal, I get this:

LINES value must be >= 2 and <= -4096: got -1
initscr(): Unable to create SP

What should I do?

I have never seen this before ever! I have no idea. :0

Maybe it's just a Wine error.

[MicroclineHat]

Thanks all the same. I'll see what I can figure out.

I had a couple issues when I installed wine, so that's probably it.

I've been watching the let's play of this and I want to try it SOOOO HARRRRD. It looks like a ton of fun.

[Kay12]

I know that feel bro =(

Stuff you could try:
Switch backends. There are at least three different ways of running LCS on Wine (at least on *NIX) and all yielded different results for me when I last checked.
http://www.winehq.org/docs/wineusr-guide/cui-programs

If that won't work, you could try to switch to another version of Wine. If that still won't work, if I recall correctly someone managed to get LCS to run on DOS, so you could try on DosBox using the HX DOS Extender (http://www.japheth.de/HX.html). I'm not sure on the last one though. I'd appreciate if someone who has actually done that stuff would appear here and explain how to do it in detail.

[MicroclineHat]

Well, I looked around for a bit, and whatever it is, initscr() is part of curses and SP according to PDCurses ( http://pdcurses.sourceforge.net/doc/PDCurses.txt ) is one of the defined variables:

SP      pointer to the current SCREEN struct

Also, I'm getting a lot of really weird looking stuff in my pdcurses.dll. Is stuff like this normal?

Thanks Kay12, I'm going to go check out those options.

[MicroclineHat]

... I am a total idiot. I got it to work. I was trying to type in

wine crimesquad.exe

when I should have typed in

wineconsole crimesquad.exe

Thanks, Kay12. That cleared things up perfectly. Starting my first game!

And thanks everyone for being so accommodating of my horrid noobishness.

[Kay12]

No problem. Remember to enjoy the game! =)

I just talked to a guard dog at C+ Animal Rights. He agreed not to rat me out. I've...never seen that before.

Nope. C+. I also recruited him as a sleeper Canine Hero. That's why it's notable.
