It also +requires 3D accelerated video drivers but runs quite well on the open-source +Intel drivers. + +Please be advised that the main game zip file, oa070.zip, is about 250MB. +Additionally, one must download the following patch: + http://oxygen4.free.fr/dl/oa071-patch.zip + md5sum 5fa31998009f8241ad3ded93eb81e701 +which is about 12MB, and place it in the directory with the SlackBuild and +the main game zip file. The SlackBuild will patch the original source and +install version 0.7.1 of OpenArena. + +Note: this SlackBuild sets things up for i386, but 64 bit binaries are also +copied into the game directory, so with minor edits to the doinst.sh and the +two *.desktop files this script could be used with 64 bit systems, but this +is untested. |
