No thedarkmod.x86 in darkmod folder

[lemonhead1888]

Its not there I don't know where to go from here. I am on Linux and am fairly new at it so it is probably something really stupid that is causing this problem. Thanks.

Just to confirm, you followed these steps:

 

Install TDM on Linux

1. Since there is no 64 bit version of The Dark Mod, on 64 bit systems you also need the 32 bit compatibility libraries installed. On some distributions like SuSE, these are included in the default installation, but on Kubuntu/Ubuntu you need to install the package called ia32-lib and all its dependencies.
2. Create a folder darkmod in your home directory.
3. Download the Linux version of the TDM Updater and extract it to your darkmod folder (see below for alternate download locations)
4. Make tdm_update.linux executable: chmod +x tdm_update.linux
5. Run the updater, it will connect to our mirrors and download the packages for you.
6. Start The Dark Mod using the thedarkmod.x86 binary in your darkmod folder.

Yes but for number 4 I went into the properties.

Hmm, maybe try extracting it from the full 2.0 package at moddb then run tdm_update again?

I'm currently downloading the 2.02 to 2.03 package to see if the x86 file is in there.

 

Edit: Yep it's in there.

I did not see the Linux file in there?

OK, either your folder view is set to hide it or security measures are preventing it's extraction.

 

This is outside of my expertise at this point.

 

Disable SELinux?

 

1. On the System menu, point to Administration and then click Security Level and Firewall to display the Security Level Configuration dialog box.
2. Click the SELinux tab.
3. In the SELinux Setting select either Disabled , Enforcing or Permissive , and then click OK.

This is getting to point where it is completely outside my expertise as well, especially since i have been trying to figure it out since 9 in the morning so I am just going to have to pass on this one for now. Thank you for the help I appreciate it very much.

Which linux distro and file Explorer are you using?

 

Please Use the terminal to locate the binary in the game folder.

And re-run the updater.

The game randomly fixed itself but now there is no sound. I switched seta s_driver "best" to seta s_driver "oss" and then ran sudo apt-get install alsa-oss in the terminal but I have no idea what he meant by aoss ./thedarkmod.x86 im still noob so Im not sure how to run that in the terminal.

..but I have no idea what he meant by aoss ./thedarkmod.x86 im still noob so Im not sure how to run that in the terminal.

 

to detect the executable, open the terminal and enter the following command.

ls -l ~/darkmod/*.x86

This should output, the files and its permissions.

 

And to navigate to the tdm folder and run the executable with aoss, using the terminal.

Open the terminal and run the following commands:

cd ~/darkmod
aoss ./thedarkmod.x86

or in short "aoss ~/darkmod/thedarkmod.x86"
