Star Wars KOTOR fails: swkotor.ini and swkotor.exe missing #79

Closed gjost closed 3 years ago

gjost commented 3 years ago

I purchased Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic from GOG and downloaded the installer files:

setup_star_wars_-_knights_of_the_old_republic_1.03_(29871).exe
setup_star_wars_-_knights_of_the_old_republic_1.03_(29871)-1.bin

I ran the Lutris installer but it quit with this message:

Source does not exist: /home/gjost/games/star-wars-knights-of-the-old-republic/drive_c/GOG Games/Star Wars - KotOR/__support/app/swkotor.ini

I was able to find a swkotor.ini file on the Internet. I created the directory structure and placed the file.

mkdir -p "/home/gjost/games/star-wars-knights-of-the-old-republic/drive_c/GOG Games/Star Wars - KotOR/__support/app/"
cp /tmp/swkotor.ini "/home/gjost/games/star-wars-knights-of-the-old-republic/drive_c/GOG Games/Star Wars - KotOR/__support/app/"

This time the installer ran to completion, but when I tried to launch the game I got the message No file provided. Looking in Config > Game Options > Executable I see that the executable is supposed to be here...

/home/gjost/games/star-wars-knights-of-the-old-republic/drive_c/GOG Games/Star Wars - KotOR/swkotor.exe

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for making all these install scripts available to the Lutris community!

Hello I just updated swkotor Lutris script. Could you try it and tell me if yo still have this issue?

If issue persist, please follow this steps:

1) Open terminal 2) launch Lutris with this command: lutris -d>lutris.log 3) reinstall game and try to launch it 4) upload lutris.log file here

It turns out this was a case of operator error. I renamed the setup_star_wars_-_knights_of_the_old_republic_1.03_(29871)-1.bin because I thought the -1 suffix was Firefox marking a duplicate file. When I downloaded it again the install worked. Thanks for tipping me off on the lutris -d switch - I'll definitely use that before reporting any more bugs.
