+Although EDuke32 has been released under the GPL, the game data

-Although the Duke Nukem 3D code has been released under the GPL, the game
-data (graphics, sounds, levels, etc) is still proprietary, (c) 3D Realms.
-
-To play the game, you must provide the data files. There are a couple of
-options:
+For Duke Nukem 3D (eduke32), there are a couple of options:
- Buy the game, and copy DUKE3D.GRP and DUKE.RTS file from the game CD to
- /usr/share/games/eduke32/ or your ~/.eduke32 directory.
+ /usr/share/games/eduke32/ or your ~/.config/eduke32 directory.
Note: DUKE3D.GRP should be named "duke3d.grp" (lowercase), but DUKE.RTS
should be uppercase.
-- Use the files from the shareware version, which is still available for
- download from the 3D Realms site. For convenience, you may install the
- eduke32_shareware_data package from slackbuilds.org, which simply creates
- a Slackware package from the files in the shareware Duke3D installer.
+- Or, install the eduke32_shareware_data package from slackbuilds.org. This
+ only gives you the first episode of the game.
+
+For Nam/Napalm (eduke32):
+
+1. copy NAM.GRP or NAPALM.GRP to /usr/share/games/eduke32
+
+2. copy GAME.CON to /usr/share/games/eduke32/NAM.CON (or NAPALM.CON).
+ Do NOT name it GAME.CON, or Duke Nukem 3D will fail to start!
+
+For WW2GI (eduke32):
+
+1. copy WW2GI.GRP ENHANCE.CON, XDEFS.CON, and XUSER.CON to
+ /usr/share/games/eduke32
+
+2. copy GAME.CON to /usr/share/games/eduke32/WW2GI.CON (again, don't
+ name it GAME.CON).
+
+For Shadow Warrior (voidsw):
+
+- Buy the game, and copy SW.GRP to /usr/share/games/eduke32/
+
+- Or, install one or more of these SBo packages:
+
+ jfsw_demo_data (shareware; first 4 levels only)
+ jfsw_registered_data (full game)
+ jfsw_wanton_destruction (expansion pack)
+ jfsw_twin_dragon (expansion pack)
-For information on playing user-created levels or other Build engine games
-(such as Nam), see http://wiki.eduke32.com/ and http://www.eduke32.com/
+ (Yes, voidsw will find the game data in /usr/share/games/jfsw)
-If you want to play the HRP (High Resolution Pack), get the
-eduke32_hires_pack package from slackbuilds.org
+For Ion Fury (fury), presumably you copy the .grp file from the game
+directory to ~/.config/fury. The engine doesn't look anywhere else for
+the data files. I don't own this game, so I can't go into more detail.
+If you do own this game, email me with the details and I'll update
+this documentation.
