Mods dont work. serious sam tfe complains about missing .so files

[LethalManBoob]

it wants some .so files in /usr/lib/serioussam/ ive also noticed mods in that file and they cant be loaded now

[tx00100xt]

I rewrote all PKGBUIDs so that they are located according to the standard. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2102727#p2102727

Here is a detailed description of how all files should be located https://github.com/tx00100xt/SeriousSamClassic-VK/wiki/How-to-building-a-package-for-Debian-or-Ubuntu.md

Need to update both game and mods. After rebuilding, you need to delete the old game config. ~/.local/share/Serious-Engine/serioussam/SeriousSam.cfg ~/.local/share/Serious-Engine/serioussamse/SeriousSam.cfg amd moving game data: /usr/share/serioussam/SamTFE -> /usr/share/serioussam /usr/share/serioussam/SamTSE -> /usr/share/serioussamse

And it is better to give more detailed information. Attach game log.

SeriousSam.log uninstalled, deleted everything, install from scratch, got this

[tx00100xt]

Here with the log we can immediately see all the problems. 1st problem:

Assumed mods library directory: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/serioussam/

I thought that x86_64-linux-gnu directory is not used in arch linux. 2nd problem: The game itself found the game data in: Assumed engine data directory: /home/joseph/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Serious Sam Classic The First >Encounter/

and set it as the default directory. And mod data is located in /usr/share/serioussan/Mods. Will have to think again.

[tx00100xt]

Everything works for me on Arch Linux, because this directory does not exist

//usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

I came up with a solution - will update soon

[tx00100xt]

Ready https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/log/?h=serioussam https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/log/?h=serioussam-vk

Installation order

1. Delete directories (if they exist):

   /usr/share/serioussam/SamTFE /usr/share/serioussam/SamTSE

2. You need to install a new version of the game 1.10.4-8
3. Then install mods.
4. Delete files (if they exist):

   ~/.local/share/Serious-Engine/serioussam/SeriousSam.cfg ~/.local/share/Serious-Engine/serioussamse/SeriousSam.cfg

5. Copy:
   • Help (folder)
   • Levels (folder)
   • 1_00_ExtraTools.gro
   • 1_00_music.gro
   • 1_00c.gro
   • 1_00c_scripts.gro
   • 1_04_patch.gro from /home/joseph/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Serious Sam Classic The First Encounter/ to /usr/share/serioussam/
6. Copy:
   • Help (folder)
   • SE1_00.gro
   • SE1_00_Extra.gro
   • SE1_00_ExtraTools.gro
   • SE1_00_Levels.gro
   • SE1_00.gro
   • SE1_00_Music.gro
   • 1_04_patch.gro
   • 1_07_patch.gro from /home/joseph/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Serious Sam Classic The Second Encounter/ to /usr/share/serioussamse/
7. Now you can start the game

Everything should work now

[LethalManBoob]

serious sam launches now but mods dont show up

[tx00100xt]

serious sam launches now but mods dont show up

You need to delete these files:

~/.local/share/Serious-Engine/serioussam/SeriousSam.cfg ~/.local/share/Serious-Engine/serioussamse/SeriousSam.cfg

These files contain the found path to the data. Just remove them before starting the game.

I think this line is in the log again

Assumed engine data directory: /home/joseph/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Serious Sam Classic The First >Encounter/

Please attach the game log.

Should be like this

It's because you didn't delete the file:

SeriousSam.cfg

Open the console and run the commands: rm -vf /home/joseph/.local/share/Serious-Engine/serioussam/SeriousSam.cfg rm -vf /home/joseph/.local/share/Serious-Engine/serioussamse/SeriousSam.cfg

After that, start the game again. Mods should appear in the menu. The log should change to look like this:

[LethalManBoob]

yes i have the symlink lib64 to lib. Deleted files and rebooted. SeriousSam.log

[tx00100xt]

in log:

Running 64-bit version Testing file: 1_00_music.gro Testing system path: /usr/share/serioussam/1_00_music.gro Testing local path: /home/joseph/.local/share/Serious-Engine/serioussam/1_00_music.gro No game files were found in /usr/share/serioussam/ or /home/joseph/.local/share/Serious-Engine/serioussam/ The home directory will be searched.

You forgot to copy the game data to the directories: /usr/share/serioussam/ /usr/share/serioussamse/

Open the console and run the commands (again): rm -vf /home/joseph/.local/share/Serious-Engine/serioussam/SeriousSam.cfg rm -vf /home/joseph/.local/share/Serious-Engine/serioussamse/SeriousSam.cfg And copy the game files to these directories: Copy:

• Help (folder)

• 1_00_music.gro

[LethalManBoob]

it works now ;v

[tx00100xt]

Great. You can also delete the old data location. Open the console and run the commands: sudo rm -vfr /usr/share/serioussam/SamTFE sudo rm -vfr /usr/share/serioussam/SamTSE

[tx00100xt]

Since not everyone needs modifications, I removed the XPLUS modification from packages serioussam and serioussam-vk. Now there is a separate package https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/serioussam-xplus for this modification. I think this will be correct. Now the build time for packages serioussam and serioussam-vk has been reduced, and the size of the packages received for installation has also been reduced.

[tx00100xt]

it works now ;v

Since everything works and the problem is solved, I think the issue can be closed.
