After compile with Linux? #20

Closed sosproduction closed 5 years ago

sosproduction commented 5 years ago

Hello All. I have set up this amazing project on my ubuntu machine and after configuring all the SDL packages I have a good compile. But when I compile... of course it says I need to specify a basepath.... my question is (and the project might not be this far along)... but I am a bit confused about how to run the game.

I have a purchased copy, and of course can download the client from Blizzard for Mac or Windows, but how does this help me with Ubuntu? Do you have to get the files onto a windows/mac machine and then copy them over to a linux directory? i.e. .mpq files and all the files from the install for things to work?

Thanks!

It's explained in the README, you have to provide the path to the game install in the command line +basepath="..."

You cannot install Diablo2 on Linux. It's a windows/mac program. Correct? How do you set a basepath on Ubuntu to a codebase that is windows/mac only?

You can use Wine or Play On Linux

Excellent. Yes, I thought that it would be a situation where I had to get the files into Linux in some manner. Much appreciated. :)
