UFO:ALIEN INVASION

I think this great game deserve its own thread.
Here is how I got it installed and functioning with the latest stable release 2.2.1
first get the install file, http://superb-east.dl.sourceforge.net/s ... -linux.run
then find the file where ever you downloaded it, these are tempfiles for the install

Code:

sh ufoai-2.2.1-linux.run --target /media/disk/ufoinstall

then follow the installer instructions

you can delete the temp files, the downloaded file and the temp dirextory

Code:

cd /media/disk
rm -rf ufoinstall

then edit the config.cfg file

Code:

mousepad /home/user/.ufoai/2.2.1/base/config.cfg 

find those lines and modify them, "(thanks to Charly)
set vid_mode "-1" (makes the game ignore it's preset resolutions and use the one you give)
set vid_height "600" (duh)
set vid_width "1024" (duh)
set vid_fullscreen "1" (makes the game run fullscreen)"

You might also need to do that if you get this error : ./ufo: error while loading shared libraries: libcurl-gnutls.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Code:

cd /usr/lib
ln -s libcurl.so.4 libcurl-gnutls.so.4

then by typing ufoai from alt-f2 should start the game,
since the video card is kinda weak I suggest you turn everything off in the graphics options.

 

where do you write these commands? sorry am new to linpus or linux whatever you call it and this all to hard for me, all the help would be great thanks. [email protected]

 

Please state that the file /home/user/.ufoai/2.2.1/base/config.cfg does not exist, unless you run the game for one time.

@ smokeogizmo you need to press: alt & f2 buttons, type terminal. You will have to type these commands on the window that has just opened
