The only Loki game I have is Descent3, and I do not see a script on the cd's. (the only thing the script points to is a 3.5 MB binary) Why can't you you make it internal on Linux?

That installer sound like a LOT of work. Do you have any idea of the directory structure the installer would look for? (avi's, mods, etc.) I'll restructure my DVD to match. And do you plan on making it possible to run the installer off of one DVD? When you start working on it again, I would like to try to help. (test, bug crunch, misc.; my c++ isn't the greatest, but its passable) Your installer definitely sounds better than what I'm doing now.

Had a feeling you would ask when I wrote that.  :)

Actually it's perfectly doable, but I'm not going to volunteer to do it just yet.  The problem has more to do with the fact that it's more of a chore to do it under Linux that with OS X.  With OS X we always know how it's run (double-click on the APP) and we get the full path already (thanks to Finder and SDL).  With Linux you can run the game with ./fs2_open_r, ../../../usr/blah/fso/fs2_open_r, blah/fso/fs2_open_r, etc.  Those are all relative paths though and we need an absolute path to initialize CFILE properly.  We can figure it out but it's just not something that's been coded, as it can get messy.  It's a lot easier to do if it's non-portable, but I'm not one to inflict pain upon myself like that.

I'm attaching the script from SoF though so you can use that as your base script if you want.  (just be sure to also make a debug version of the script to run a debug build)

Okay, I have edited that script... now I need to test it. (My linux install is fried currently, half waiting for the realease of Fedora Core 5) Is there any naming convention I should follow in nameing the debug script?
No libraries need to be found because they are all linked statically (or will be soon), right?

Descent3 is the only Loki game I really want.

PS. When I finish this and decide to release it, would it be better to post it in the general freespace forum intead of the SCP forum?

Here I go double posting again.
I am editing my windows install to install the main vp's from the original cd's or from a custom dvd. I should have this completed soon and will post a torrent for testing. If someone wants to test it. I will cut the fs_port and inferno for this test release. I will also remove the imcomplete linux setup.

Edit: removed
Edit2: Ignore dumb question. Figured out how to do it with inno scripts.

The test version is released!
It is 711 MB

It includes:
FS2_Open CVS 06/03/06
FS2 Avi Cutscenes
Media VP's 3.6.8 Dealta (with some of the fixes in the Gamma thread)

It will install the main vp's from the original cd's (installshield cab's) or a custom DVD (no cab's, vp's in setup directory).
Info: progress bar is broke. Probably because of my large use of external files.
The 'insert next disc' equivilant error is a slightly changed 'file not found error'. Don't know if I can fix that or not.
If you find other bug, please post them.

Linux setup will come when FC5 is released and the new linux binaries are released.

The torrent requires Azureus, http://azureus.sourceforge.net/, because I do not have a tracker and I use its decentralized tracking network. My max upload is set at 40kb, but I am using the 'autospeed' plugin, so it could end up being less.

Azureus magnet link: magnet:?xt=urn:btih:OVXPOKNM3OJEPJ4PCIIKHCYFCSMMRKL4]magnet:?xt=urn:btih:OVXPOKNM3OJEPJ4PCIIKHCYFCSMMRKL4
Copy and paste into address bar.

PS. Why can't I attach a file? (the torrent file)

True. But MVP Delta is out and Gamma is the new release thread. I believe WMCoolmon said he was following the FS2 wing order (I think: alpha, beta, delta, gamma, epsilon...)

I'm not totally sure I was following FS2_Open's wing order. I think I got them mixed up b/c I figured that D came after B, instead of G coming before D. So I didn't do my homework :p

Not allowed to attach torrent files on this board. Simply rar it and try again.

The attach file option is not even there for me on the SCP Forum. I can attach files in the FSU however.

When was the last time you looked at the HUD?  :v: put the wings in the proper order.

I said 'I think'. I didn't really pay much attention, I was normally too busy trying to stay alive. :D

I uploaded the torrent file to upload2.net, so here it is:
