Steam Deck installation? #297

Closed SPavuna closed 2 weeks ago

SPavuna commented 2 weeks ago

Has anyone tried to install this into a Steam Deck? I've been trying for a while now and I'm not successful. I'm following the Linux installation guide but nothing happens when I execute the rp-install.sh

burner1024 commented 2 weeks ago

No idea. What's it run? Some custom Linux distro?

SPavuna commented 2 weeks ago

Yup, it's Valve's Linux distro SteamOS

burner1024 commented 2 weeks ago

Run script with bash -x and see where it stops.

SPavuna commented 2 weeks ago

OK, it seems partially the problem is in my Linux illiteracy. I was supposed to run "sh rpu-install.sh" command apparently. Double clicking on the file in Dolphin didn't do anything (or at least didn't provide any response like a popup with error or something like that).

After running the "sh rpu-install.sh" in the terminal, I got the "recursive lower case" error, which I guess can be fixed with some terminal command.

This comment has some more detailed instructions that I guess should work (they did for a few people in the comments). I guess unzipping with -LL is a good way to fix the lower case issue.

Maybe you can add this section (possibly making it a bit more specific and precise) as a new section for Steam Deck enthusiasts? Note that a lot of us are Linux noobs :D

  1. Download rpu_v*.zip from the latest release page. (Current one is https://github.com/BGforgeNet/Fallout2_Restoration_Project/releases/tag/v26 )
  2. Download Fallout 2 on steam (Under "Compatibility" I have it checked to force a specific version which I set to Proton 6.3-8
  3. Run Fallout 2 then close out of the game once you get to the title screen.
  4. Open rpu_v* and dump the files into the Fallout 2 game folder, when prompted select "Replace All" (mine is /home/jak/HDD1/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Fallout 2) (Or right click Fallout 2 on steam, properties, local files, browse and that is the folder)
  5. Back out once so you're in the ../steamapps/common folder and right click the Fallout 2 folder, select compress, and make it a .zip file.
  6. Delete the Fallout 2 folder so that the only Fallout 2 in the folder is the .zip file.
  7. Right click in the ../steamapps/common folder and open in terminal.
  8. Type "unzip -LL Fallout\ 2.zip" (with no quotes)
  9. When prompted to replace the fallout 2/f2_res_config.exe type no and press enter.
  10. Now inside the newly unzipped fallout 2 folder right click and open in terminal, type "./rpu-install.sh" (without the quotes)
  11. In ../common/fallout 2 right click on the ddraw.ini and open with a text editor. Find the DamageFormula= line and change it to =1, =2, or =5 to apply the AP ammo fix depending on which version you want. This isn't needed but the official mod page suggests it. I play with DamageFormula=1
  12. On steam right click Fallout 2 and go to general and under launch options and paste WINEDLLOVERRIDES="ddraw.dll=n" %command%
  13. Launch Fallout 2 and pray to God that everything works. This was done on Manjaro. I haven't tested it on the steam deck but it should be similar enough because they're both arch based. Good luck my friend!

-LL does nothing, the packages doesn't have uppercased files anyway. It it has wine, you should be able to just run the exe with wine.

SPavuna commented 2 weeks ago

Yeah, but original game had uppercased files, right? The suggestion is to zip entire game folder and unpack it with -LL.

burner1024 commented 2 weeks ago

Oh, I see. I guess it's one way to that. I don't think this is a place for general OS education, though, so probably not going to include this longish guide. I would accept a script to lowercase stuff, but it'd have to be crossplatform enough.
