Title: Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS (How Do I Run Game?)
Post by: AMCK2023 on February 09, 2023, 09:21:03 pm
Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS

How do I run this game on this version of Ubuntu?  What are the terminal commands to get the game to install and run on my computer?  Is there a AUTO launch file that will install commands and launch the game?

High there, I was able to make a launcher icon for it by doing the following.

Using Menulibre (https://github.com/bluesabre/menulibre (https://github.com/bluesabre/menulibre), but I got it from the store)

I went to the games category, click on the "+" in the top left. Choose "Add Launcher"

Starting from the top.

That should do it. You should see an icon in your app launcher, move it to where you want it. 

Hope that helps.

There is no need to install the game. Just download it from the webpage (https://www.planeshift.it/Download) and save the file to a directory in your home directory. I put it in ~/PS
Create a subfolder for the current version (I put it in ~/PS/psunreal):

[fire up a terminal]
# mkdir -p PS/psunreal
# cd PS
# wget https://psu.linuxgamepanel.com/public/download/PSUnreal-Linux-0.7.30.tar.bz2
# cd psunreal
# tar -xjvf ../PSUnreal-Linux-0.7.30.tar.bz2

Now you can start the game from the commandline:

# ~/PS/psunreal/PSLauncher.ps

Hope this helps,
Haviland

Everything worked (loaded) BUT the line:

~/PS/psunreal/PSLauncher.ps    will not run.

On Plasma from KDE within file manager Dolphin I can also just click on the shell script PSUnrealClient.sh.
