| | How to start the game - pax'n'stuff... | | Yess... here you've got me :)
Please make sure that the game could be run after you've installed it! If not, send me an email along with some information:
- The name and version of your linux distro.
- Something about your cpu, gfx-board and soundcard.
- The output which was created while compiling and starting the game.
- What you have done and seen - clearly explained.
Note: When sending me emails please put the term gemhun into the subject-line. I'm getting too many spammails so I'm not gonna read every mail of senders I don't know about. Putting the word gemhun in the subject-line will help me filtering out important messages :) Thank you.
Now that we have this, we have to get a pax. A pax is a package which contains background gfx and data. Here we store the complete level-design. The alternative titlescreen is a special package which will be hidden automatically. Now decide whether you would like to download a binary or source package.
Binary installation:
- Go to my download page and locate a pax which you would like to download. As an example download the fairylands-bin-20031016.tar.gz file.
- Go either in your ~/.gemhun/pax or GemHunters-data/pax directory.
- Unpack the package with
tar -xzf /path/to/download/directory/fairylands-bin-20031016.tar.gz - Start the game and have fun! :)
Source installation:
- I asume that you've already installed kyra and it's tools.
- Go to my download page and locate a pax which you would like to download. As an example download the fairylands-src-20031221.tar.gz file.
- Go into a temporary directory where you would like to build it.
- Unpack the tar.gz file with
tar -xzvf /path/to/download/directory/fairylands-src-20031221.tar.gz - Go into the newly created directory and run make.
- On success run make install - otherwise create a bug report - sorry.
- Start the game and have fun! :)
If anything went wrong and the game won't start, create a bug report just as mentioned above - thank you.
Now proceed to the next section in order to learn how to play this game.
