I can not get old square view to work

[ivar]

Hi!

I was trying to pick freeciv to play with again, and can only get a isometric view.

I have tried to unselect Isometric and Hexagonal, and all the Ruleset is setting one or booth of them.

I tried 'Client Settings' in main window and there set 'Tileset(square)' to anything else without success, all I get is a message about Tileset Trident problem is probably incompatible with the ruleset: Couldn't load gfx file "flags/abkhazia" for sprite...

So any tips on how I can get this animal to show the old classic freeciv with the squares and not isometric view ?

I am running this on a Linux-Gentoo Ryzen computer, with plenty of ram. The installation is done by Gentoo package handler. And it gives me: Latest version installed: 3.1.2

I am prepared to do manual installation if I can get my old view back if that is whats needed, but I don't now what flags I have to kick to make it happend.

Please advice!

Try

Game -> Interface options -> Graphics

Trident is the overhead tileset you want, but this message sounds like there's something wrong in your installation which makes trident to fail.

Which might be a freeciv bug. Gentoo packaging of freeciv seems to be using the experimental meson build, and it might have trident broken. I keep on investigating.

A manual installation solved the problem, now it works as I remember it.
