The Last Outpost RPG-X EF Clean-up Project

This repository was forked from the UBerGames rpgxEF repository located here: https://github.com/UberGames/rpgxEF.

Installing Instructions

For Beginners

• Make sure you are running on a computer or Virtual Machine (VM) with Linux Ubuntu 64-bits (or variants such as Xubuntu). For more information on how to run a VM under Windows, follow any of these guides (or just google "setting up a virtual machine"):
  • http://www.wikihow.com/Install-Ubuntu-on-VirtualBox
  • http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/virtualbox

We are running a Xubuntu 64-bits install because it is more lightweight so more suitable for running as a VM. You can download a Xubuntu iso image here: http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/16.04/release/ Then chose the xubuntu-xx.yy-desktop-amd64.iso image (where xx.yy is 16.04 at the time of writing)

• Run your VM
• Download the install_full.sh file or copy its contents into a new .sh file somewhere on your VM
• Open a terminal window in the location where you downloaded the install_full.sh file (For Xubuntu, go to the directory using the File Manager, then right click and select "Open Terminal Here").
• Type: sudo ./install_full.sh
• When prompted for a "root password",. insert the password you chose for your user account while installing Linux on your VM
• The script automatcially downloads the RPG-X EF Repository from GitHub and puts it in /home//Projects/rpgxef (obviously, is the username of your Linux user account)
• It also automatically downloads all development dependencies needed for building the source code
• In the terminal, navigate to the rpgxef repository directory which was just created: cd /home//Projects/rpgxef

Building for Linux

• In the terminal, type: make
• The source code will now be build for Linux 64-bits and the output files will be present in the build/release-linux-x86_64 directory.

Building for Windows

• To build for windows, run: ./cross-make-mingw.sh (for 32 bits) or ./cross-make-mingw64.sh (for 64-bits) this will produce the required .dll files and .exe files

• Put the .dll and .exe files from the build/ directory into your RPG-X EF install. The easyest way to test this is to get the RPG-X Standard Edition from TLO: http://www.last-outpost.net/rpgx/ and then copying the following files from your VM onto your computer:

  • Copy build/release-mingw32-x64/rpgxEF.x64.exe and build/release-mingw32-x64/renderer_opengl1_x64.dll to the base install directory of RPG-X (where the current .exe is located, overwrite if asked)
  • Copy build/release-mingw32-x64/rpgxEF/uix64.dll, build/release-mingw32-x64/rpgxEF/qagamex64.dll, build/release-mingw32-x64/rpgxEF/cgamex64.dll to the RPG-X2 directory located in your RPG-X install directory

• Be sure to run the game with the following cvars: +set vm_game 0 +set vm_ui 0 +set vm_cgame 0 +set fs_game RPG-X2 In order to do this, make a shortcut on your desktop to the rpgxEF.x64.exe, right click it, selecte properties, and in the "Target:" window, it should read something like this: "C:\Program Files\The Last Outpost RPG-X Standard Edition\rpgxEF.x64.exe" Append the cvars, so it now reads something like: "C:\Program Files\The Last Outpost RPG-X Standard Edition\rpgxEF.x64.exe" +set vm_game 0 +set vm_ui 0 +set vm_cgame 0 +set fs_game RPG-X2 Then press Apply and OK and start the game via the shortcut

For Advanced Users

• Git Pull this repository onto a Ubuntu flavoured Linux machine or VM

• Terminal to the repository directory and run: ./install_deps.sh. This will install all development dependencies for running make

• Run make to build for Linux 64 bits, find the output files in the build directory

  • Run ./make-i386.sh for building the Linux 32 bits variant
  • Run ./cross-make-mingw.sh for building the Windows 32 bits variant
  • Run ./cross-make-mingw64.sh for building the Windows 64 bits variant

• Install a fresh copy of the RPG-X Standard Edition from TLO: http://www.last-outpost.net/rpgx/ and put the build files in the correct directory as described below, then run executable file to launch RPG-X EF

  • Copy the following files to the base install directory of RPG-X (where the current binary is located, overwrite if asked):

    • build/release-PLATFORM-ARCH/rpgxEF.ARCH
    • build/release-PLATFORM-ARCH/renderer_opengl1_ARCH (.so for Linux, .dll for Windows)

  • Copy the following files (.so for Linux, .dll for Windows) to the RPG-X2 directory located in your RPG-X install directory:

    • build/release-PLATFORM-ARCH/rpgxEF/uiARCH,
    • build/release-PLATFORM-ARCH/rpgxEF/qagameARCH
    • build/release-PLATFORM-ARCH/rpgxEF/cgameARCH

• Be sure to run the game with the following cvars: +set vm_game 0 +set vm_ui 0 +set vm_cgame 0 +set fs_game RPG-X2 UPDATE: cvars should no longer be required.
