# add the i386 architecture
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

# do update to fetch i386 librairies
sudo apt-get update

# install the 32 bits compatible librairies
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs (mint)
sudo apt-get install lib32z1 (ubuntu)

# after the installation the following lib must be present
sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2debian:i386

Installation

NOTE : The installation has been tested on Ubuntu/Mint 20.04

Create the main folders

# as root
mkdir -p /usr/local/games/enemy-territory
chown 1000 /usr/local/games/enemy-territory && chmod 775 /usr/local/games/enemy-territory

mkdir -p /opt/games/enemy-territory
chown 1000 /opt/games/enemy-territory && chmod 775 /opt/games/enemy-territory

# as main user
cp -r base/* /usr/local/games/enemy-territory
cp -r server /opt/games/enemy-territory

Launch the game

cd /usr/local/games/enemy-territory
./et-sdl-sound

Enjoy !

NOTE : Some librairies may be missing, you need to install it one by one (test to launch ./et.x86 and see missing libs)

Create a systemd service (server creation ONLY)

In order to launch the server properly, a systemd service is a right solution instead of the serverctl sh script. Todo so :

put the wolfenstein-et.service file in /etc/systemd/system directory (must be root)
replace <linux_user> and <path_to> placeholder with your configuration
enable the service (on reboot the service will autostart)

# as root
systemctl enable wolfenstein-et

put the launch_server.bash wherever you want (do not forget exec rights for your <linux_user>)
start the service

service wolfenstein-et start

check the service status

service wolfenstein-et status

Settings

Set screen size in **1920*1080**

Open the player configuration file:

vi $HOME/.etwolf/etmain/profiles/<username>/etconfig.cfg

Override this settings

seta r_mode          -1      // -1 mean we are using a custom screen resolution
seta r_customwidth   1920    // monitor's width
seta r_customheight  1080    // monitor's height

Common errors

SDL driver error

On Ubuntu 20.04 :

------- sound initialization -------
SDL audio driver initializing...
ALSA lib conf.c:3722:(snd_config_hooks_call) Cannot open shared library libasound_module_conf_pulse.so (/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/alsa-lib/libasound_module_conf_pulse.so: libasound_module_conf_pulse.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
ALSA lib pcm.c:2642:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default
SDL_AudioDriverName() = NULL
------------------------------------

You must install the corresponding 32 bits library :

sudo apt-get install libasound2-plugins:i386

Keyboard inputs does not work

Try moving to Xorg instead of Wayland... To do so, on Ubuntu, logout, click on the Settings icon and select Xorg.
