I want this package added too. Is just the best MMORPG for Linux and can't be left out.

Re: [Games] Eternal Lands - Free MMORPG

i have a script for planeshift that i could pkgbuild.. since the installer is dodgy..

i tried it out.. its really bad atm.. eternal lands > planeshift
its interface, gameplay, current dev. level are all behind eternal lands..

the alternate install script is here
bb post:
http://www.planeshift3d.com/wbboard/thr … c8a504c007
direct link:
http://snafu.rabidgeek.com/~malverian/m … ift.tar.gz

im not sure how to package it.. whether the installer runs and packages the planeshift install.. or if i just package the script..

packaging the install means that when you update the game, it will be out of synch with pacman and removing the package wont be 100%..
packaging the script means that you have to manually remove the game.. but is from a technical point of view.. cleaner..

Re: [Games] Eternal Lands - Free MMORPG

could you add a tarball of the build files for eternal lands to the aur?
I think you're missing the .install script.

Re: [Games] Eternal Lands - Free MMORPG

ahhh... i missed that one.. thanks! sorry for any inconvenience

[edit] PKGBUILD updated... i removed the `install=' line, the .install was just making a symlink, i forgot to remove the line because i was already `echo'ing a bash script [/edit]

[edit] Eternal Lands is now in the AUR!
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?d … Packages=0 [/edit]

Md5 sum is wrong, how do I fix it?

If the tar.gz file it the correct one the quickest way is to just to the comment md3sum's line out of the pkgbuild file.

Re: [Games] Eternal Lands - Free MMORPG

Looking at the current PKGBUILD, once the package is installed, u just run "el" (at a command prompt, or as command to run from some launcher, etc.).

Head to the AUR (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=1149) for newer PKGBUILD files of eternal lands.
