Excalibur: Morgana's Revenge v3.0

#1 Post by MU »

This is an action adventure.

Download the huge Linux pack from
http://emr.excaliburworld.com/emr3/index.html (240 MB)

Then install the AlephOne gameengine:
http://dotpups.de/dotpups/Games/AlephOn ... e-only.pup
Details on further requirements:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=7974

Now extract the EMR-archive.
It has a Makefile, so you would need the developer-addon to proceed, but you can work around that like this:

Create a folder
/usr/local/emr/share

Create a symlink from the extracted folder, like this:

ln -s /mnt/hda5/downloads/emr-3.0/share-emr /usr/local/emr/share/emr

Replace "/mnt/hda5/downloads/" with the place where you extracted !

Then create such a startfile "/usr/local/bin/emr" and make it executable:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

for emr_option
do
  case $emr_option in
  -h | --help)
    emr_help=yes ;;
  -V | --version)
    emr_version=yes ;;
  esac
done

if test "$emr_help" = "yes"
then cat <<EOF
Usage: $0 [OPTION]...
Run the Aleph One game engine with the Excalibur: Morgana's Revenge scenario.

  -h, --help     display this help and exit
  -V, --version  display version information and exit

Other options are passed to Aleph One.  See \`alephone --help' for details.
You can use the ALEPHONE_DATA environment variable to specify the scenario's
data directory.
EOF
  exit 0
fi

if test "$emr_version" = "yes"
then echo Excalibur: Morgana\'s Revenge 3.0
     exit 0
fi

# Default locations of EMR and Aleph One data files.
test -z "$ALEPHONE_DATA" && ALEPHONE_DATA='/usr/local/emr/share/emr'
export ALEPHONE_DATA

exec /usr/bin/alephone "$@"
Now launch it by typing "emr".
If you have no accellerated grafics, go to the preferences menu first, and set the grafics to "software-renderer".


Here is a screenshot.
It has bad quality, as my Savage graficscard supports no GLX.

Saving games
After the Intro, you reach a level with a pistol.
Take the pistol.
Go back to where you started.
There is a panel on the wall.
Press "A" to activate it, it is a "save" menu.

:oops: Thanks Mark

the problem was me trying to download the php web page address instead of the file (using xwget)

I have taken omega 3, cod liver oil and seaweed supplements in order to increase my Lobsterian capabilities . . . I need all the help I can get. :)

One of my favourite games from Windows days was 'Commanche', mostly because of the low level flying fun. The last game I really enjoyed was 'crazy taxi' played this on the gamecube. For cutting edge games a console or Windows machine is probably best.

There is a great tux game (needs that 3D capability) where he drives a hover car to load supply medicines for Africa.

I think I might set up Descent 3 which I remember you packaged for Puppy and it was rather good.

the 3DCC did not want to install so am downloading this for my nvidia card . . .:

Anyways . . . time to install that game - thanks again :)

You get this message, if the symlinks are not created as described above.
If you did do that, than my method described is not sufficient.
In that case you'd need to run "make && make install" after editing the Makefile (see readme).

I think I did it right. However that is no guarantee . . .

Another tester (preferably with a brain) required :)
