Instead of SDL1.2 development files you can also use SDL2, but so far it
|
||||
seems like no distributions has packages for it yet, so you may have to
|
||||
compile and install SDL2 yourself.
|
||||
(There may be inofficial repositories like Ubuntu PPAs)
|
||||
|
||||
SDL2 has better input support (especially in the console) and better
|
||||
support for multiple displays (especially in fullscreen mode).

7) GETTING THE GAMEDATA, RUNNING THE GAME
|
||||
__________________________________________
|
||||
|
||||
To play the game, you need the game data from a legal copy of the game, which
|
||||
unfortunately requires Steam for Windows - Steam for Linux or OSX won't do, because
|
||||
(at least currently) the Doom3 BFG game is only installable on Steam for Windows.
|
||||
Even the DVD version of Doom3 BFG only contains encrytped data that is decoded
|
||||
by Steam on install.
|
||||
|
||||
Fortunately, you can run Steam in Wine to install Doom3 BFG and afterwards copy the
|
||||
game data somewhere else to use it with native executables.
|
||||
Winetricks ( http://winetricks.org/ ) makes installing Windows Steam on Linux really easy.
|
||||
|
||||
Anyway:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Install Doom3 BFG in Steam (Windows version), make sure it's getting
|
||||
updated/patched.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Create your own doom3bfg directory, e.g. /path/to/Doom3BFG/
|
||||
|
||||
3. Copy the game-data's base dir from Steam to that directory
|
||||
(e.g. /path/to/Doom3BFG/), it's in
|
||||
/your/path/to/Steam/steamapps/common/DOOM 3 BFG Edition/base/
|
||||
|
||||
4. Copy your RBDoom3BFG executable that you created in 5) or 6) to your own
|
||||
doom3bfg directory (/path/to/Doom3BFG).
|
||||
|
||||
Your own doom3bfg directory now should look like:
|
||||
/path/to/Doom3BFG/
|
||||
-> RBDoom3BFG (or RBDoom3BFG.exe on Windows)
|
||||
-> base/
|
||||
-> classicmusic/
|
||||
-> _common.crc
|
||||
-> (etc)
|
||||
|
||||
5. Run the game by executing the RBDoom3BFG executable.
|
||||
|
||||
6. Enjoy
|
||||
