Create Debian packages of Unity Engine games

u2deb: Package a Unity game in two steps. First run u2deb prepare <gamedir> and follow the instructions. The game files will be copied into a temporary directory and Debian packaging files will be generated. You can manually edit those files. Then run u2deb build to create the package. To delete the temporary files run u2deb clean. You can get a full list of options and environment variables with u2deb --help.

copyunityengine: This script will download and install GNU/Linux binaries of a Unity engine game and delete all previously installed binary files. Usage is copyunityengine <gamedir>. You can use this script to create native GNU/Linux versions of games that were released only for Windows and/or OSX (this may not work with Unity 5 games). You can also create native 64 bit versions if a GNU/Linux build was originally released only as 32 bit version, or you can also use it to install the screenselector plugin if the original build came without it.

u2mojo: This script helps you to create portable MojoSetup installers for any GNU/Linux distribution.

Examples:

You can use the builds from here to test the scripts.

Build 32 and 64 bit packages of a native game and store the platform independent files in a separate "-data" package:

./u2deb prepare example-game-linux --data
./u2deb build

Build a 64 bit package from a 32 bit native game:

./copyunityengine example-game-linux-x86
./u2deb prepare example-game-linux-x86 --no-x86
./u2deb build

Build packages from a Windows-only game:

./copyunityengine example-game-win32
rm -f example-game-win32/*.exe example-game-win32/*.pdb example-game-win32/*_Data/Mono/mono.dll
./u2deb prepare example-game-win32
./u2deb build

Build packages from an OS X .app bundle:

./copyunityengine example-game.app
./u2deb prepare example-game-linux
./u2deb build

Build a MojoSetup installer and export variables:

echo "This is a simple Unity 3D test project." > /tmp/example-game-description
echo "Homepage: http://www.unity3d.com/" >> /tmp/example-game-description

export FULLNAME="Test project"
export SHORTNAME=example-game
export VENDOR="djcj"
export VERSION=1.0
./u2mojo --readme=/tmp/example-game-description example-game
