[SOLVED] fs2_open-svn. Descent Freespace 2 - Getting it to work

Well... i just installed this AUR package of this great great game http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=21258 and i have the 3 CD's files ripped... now i see that there are a lot of "MediaVPs" enhancements to install... and i don't see any /usr/share folder, so i don't know where i need to put all these files

Re: [SOLVED] fs2_open-svn. Descent Freespace 2 - Getting it to work

well i copy all the files of the 3 cd's into one folder and then this happend...

ERROR: " Web cursor bitmap not found.  This is most likely due to one of three reasons:         1) You're running FreeSpace Open from somewhere other than your FreeSpace 2 folder;        2) You've somehow corrupted your FreeSpace 2 installation, e.g. by modifying or removing the retail VP files;      3) You haven't installed FreeSpace 2 at all.  (Note that installing FreeSpace Open does NOT remove the need for a FreeSpace 2 installation.) Number 1 can be fixed by simply moving the FreeSpace Open executable file to the FreeSpace 2 folder.  Numbers 2 and 3 can be fixed by installing or reinstalling FreeSpace 2." at graphics/2d.cpp:1457

WELL... after a lot of search i found this handy install guide...

http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.ph … inux_Guide

that gently explains the process of getting the retail files out of the cd's and copy them where they need to be (/home/<USER>/fs2/data) but the issue persists...

[aleyscha@aleyscha 4 ~ 20:34]$ start_freespace
