I have puppy 1.0.4 with a #2 hard drive install and barrage works fine, but voom does not work, the layout is different than other dot pup, there is no apprun in voom and when I link voom to the desktop it still does not work right. I'am an end user , if you look below you will see what I did to put barrage in the icewm menu. Also same problem in other desktops. I linked icon to /usr/share/mini-icon.

Good Luck, Duke

Interesting, Barrage works in Puppy 1.0.3 from the Ice menu without a wrapper script, but it refuses to work in 1.0.4 with or without a wrapper script.

I've tested Barrage in 1.0.3 AND 1.0.4 and it works with both (either from the roxapps folder or from the Ice menu), with option 1 install.

And by 'refuses to work' what's shown on your screen? Any error message?

Edit:
I also can't get klhrevolutionist's dotpups to work from Icewm menu either. All of his games work by clicking on the gear thou.

Btw, you can check out my other dotpup games (besides Barrage, I've also made 3 other games) here:

It sounds like they work from the menu if Puppy is installed on the hard drive. I'll have to do more testing to verify that. I could just be a coincident, but duke, puppian, and myself can get them to work from the menu when we all have Puppy installed as an option 1 or 2 HD install. I will boot Puppy 1.0.3 and 1.0.4 off of the live CDs with new “fresh” pup001 files and give it a shot. Who knows, it may still be that my pup001 file is messed up somewhere.

See my previous post. The game starts and instantly quits. There are error messages generated in /tmp/xerrs.txt which read
Code:

System init Ok.
Entering game...
can't read from file


Again, these programs all work fine unless they are started from the Ice menu.

I think it's great that you found those games and thank you. But, finding out that they don't link out of the folder to any where is just a minor thing. Just hoping someone here might know how to do it for convenience. Sorry if you feel attacked, just stating what happened, reread posts no rudeness found or intended. Learning is what its about.
Thank You, duke
