I think I know what the problem is then. I have the latest bleeding-edge version of cmake, not the repository version. I'm trying to see if I can get rid of it, but no luck yet. If I can't get rid of it, my last resort it I'm going to backup and format. I compiled from source code, and then used sudo make install. Not sure how to undo it yet.

Actually, that doesn't seem to be the issue. I just did the same commands as Dasho using the new --preset method of building, and it compiled just fine with CMake 3.22.2 (which is the latest stable version).

Commands for reference:

> cmake --preset dist

If you still have the source, do they have a 'make uninstall' type of target?

[roundtree]

Yes they do but I deleted my old source folder. So I unzipped my backup, re-installed it and ran sudo make uninstall. It seemed to work fine, but then I installed the repo version and tried to go through the exact steps you listed. It is giving me an error saying the dist folder does not exist. At this point, I'm going to backup everything important (my os is only a couple months old) and reinstall. After I reinstall, I'll just install the default dependencies straight from the repo. I modified g++, gcc, clang, and cmake, so I'm not doing that this time. Not always a smart move to install from source either. Backup should only take me an hour, and I'm going to reinstall linux mint 20.3. It's not the first time I've messed it up before.

After I get my new os, I'll try everything again right away and let you know how it goes.

I just reinstalled my Linux Mint 20.3 from scratch and followed 100% of your instructions on page 6. Worked perfectly! Thank you for all your help also! I'm going to go make some megawads now. I've been excited about the new changes Obsidian has. I really want to see the new prefabs. Thanks again!

This "dist folder does not exist" error is actually one we encountered as well. It has to do with the fact that the recently-updated build instructions only apply to CMake 3.19 or newer, but the repo version is 3.16. I'll have to update them to reflect the possibility that the "nice way" isn't supported on more stable distros.

If I didn't say this earlier in the thread..

It's great to see this getting more attention, given having evolved from ObAddon to Obsidian..

I'm just still glad I started over, because I had changed way too many things around in my build environment. Not the first or last time I screw up my os! And what you said proves to me you guys know a LOT more about Linux than I do. I've been trying to learn for a long time, but there is a lot I have yet to learn. I was still scared of source code 2 years ago but not anymore. I want to learn to code bad. If I do, I'm going to try to make a doom mod.

[roundtree]

dasho: I just wanted to say thanks again! You took time of your day yesterday, walked me through everything, and even set up a virtual machine, doing everything from scratch. You didn't have to do all that for me, but you did anyway, and I appreciate it! I'm going to make a new video about Obsidian, showing everything step-by-step, but I'm giving you credit for the instructions. It would not be possible with you.

[dasho]

Well, happy to help...the Linux landscape has enough -isms that it's difficult to have one set of instructions for all situations. If you're on Discord, feel free to drop into the server (https://discord.gg/dfqCt9v) if you have any other questions.

The content from what was formerly ObAddon has been merged into the mainline releases of Obsidian. Not only will attempting to load it actually bring back outdated content, but it's very likely that the ObAddon scripts won't be compatible as we have also transitioned from Lua 5.1 to Lua 5.4. Downloading the releases themselves should be sufficient, but if you want to find absolute bleeding-edge content, there is MsrSgtShooterPerson's repo at https://github.com/GTD-Carthage/Obsidian-Content

[Kappes Buur]

Thank you for the explanation.
Duly noted.

[Kinsie]

Been getting this a bunch lately.



It's not always MAP04, I've seen it with MAP07.

[dasho]

Basically, this will occur when the Lua definition for a prefab refers to a map marker that isn't present in its corresponding WAD file. That will be hard to track down from the error message alone, but if you are able to generate a log with debugging info enabled (from the File->Options menu), it may be possible to see which fab had been selected at the time.
