![]() This is the command I used, which launched the installer properly: I actually am installing the game with a loki cd disc commercially purchased. Try `dirname -help' for more information.Ĭouldn't run Soldier of Fortune (sof-bin). ![]() When I ran it with the command sof in the shell it gave me these messages: I tried this morning finally it installed the program. Sorry I did not get back with you yesterday. If that yeilds no results post a question to the forum. If you still cant get it to run, do a forum search. So running a relevant Google search is your best friend. Thing is, most people have already had the same problems as you. #5) If you game does not load or quits with an error the first step you should follow is doing a google search with the error message. () I have some info on installing games a bit easier for games that a bit terse to install(neverwinter nights install info included). You can also check the Uber GNU/Linux games list. Doing a Google search can really help this proccess. #4.2) Some games such as Neverwinter Nights require you to do some craziness to install them. whatever-installer.sh" to begin installation. If you see any game installer end in "*.sh" you can type "sh. the "sh" command before the "linux-installer.sh". For instance if you are installing Unreal Tournament 2004, put in the CD and from console type the following:īasically you went to the cdrom directory and called the install script. #4.1) Remember you must correctly run the installer script to get things to install correctly. Its even better to run free games in universe, and you would be surprised how many great 3D games are included. Realize that it is better to run native compiled GNU/Linux games such as Unreal Tournament 2004 or Neverwinter Nights than using Winex/Cedega. #4) Now you can install your favoriate GNU/Linux game. You can also check out the Uber GNU/Linux games list. Some good ones to try are "tuxkart" or "neverball". #3) You can now begin 3D gaming, personally I like to download a game from universe to test things out. check for high performance option settings per video card. If you are getting lower FPS you either have a low end video card or something is configured incorrectly. If you are getting > 1000 FPS(frames per second) you should be good to go for most 3D games on GNU/Linux. Open a console and type the following at the command line: #2) Now we need to test 3D to see if everything is working correctly. #1.1) If you are having problems with your Nvidia card, check this official wiki site for more information. If your video card is an Intel integrated, check this guide here: I personally recommend Nvidia cards(I have one, it rocks). (**Just install the drivers as the guide states, apt-get can do it all for you if you have Nvidia or ATI, you do not need to download any other packages!!!**) if you are using ANY other brand of video card do a google search for "linux drivers" that should be a good start for you. If your video card is Nvidia or ATI follow the Ubuntu Guide to getting your 3D drivers installed: #1) Figure out what kind of video card you have. * If your card is not supported I recommend filing a bug report * Want to know if your card is support in Ubuntu? () If someone does not seem to have a basic handle on getting 3D working or a game installed, have them come here first. Game-data-not-found.png (9.96 KiB) Viewed 2070 times broken_sword_ui.png (80.I decided to create this guide because it seems people new to GNU/Linux and Ubuntu are having problems getting some basic things done before getting game X to work. ![]() So my question is: did I overlook something? Am I doing something wrong when adding BS1 and BS2? These are the only two games that have this issue, all other games I have added do not have this problem and are playable even with a restart of the ScummVM app. I don’t think it is related since a specific folder structure is not required with BS2 and I am having this issue with the successor as well. I have seen the note in the Wiki for BS1 (“ Since ScummVM 2.7.0 the folder structure from the original media needs to be preserved”), but even with the subdirectories, this error occurs. All required files for that game are in a single gamedir, the game is detected after adding, is playable after that and after the next exit and relaunch, it is also greyed out in the UI and cannot be started with the same error as BS1. The exact same thing happens with Broken Sword 2. However, when I exit the game, quit ScummVM and with the next launch of ScummVM, BS1 is greyed out in the UI list and when trying to launch the game, I get an error pop-up with “ Error running game: game data not found”. When adding the gamedir for BS1, the game is properly detected and I am able to start the game.
