A way to install and update loki software on modern linux systems
Note: This has been tested on a x64 bit lubuntu installation on actual hardware
I found this is the only way to install loki software on modern systems. I will be using Simcity 3000 as a example
Just installing
1. Mount your .iso or whatever your program is on
2. Go to setup.data/bin/Linux/x86/ and copy "setup" to the root of the media where "setup.sh" is
3. Run ./setup and install
Done
Updating a game
1. Run "sc3u-2.0a-x86.run --keep" and go into the new directory
2. Go into /bin/Linux/x86 and copy all the files there to the root of the extracted update files
3. Run ./loki_patch patch.dat /usr/local/games/SC3U to update it
Done
The setup.sh scripts on the cds are broken when you try to use them on newer systems.
I get this every single time i try to run it
This installation doesn't support unknown on x86-64
Please contact Loki Technical Support at support@lokigames.com
I also suggest updating the installation instructions because it wants you to run ./setup.sh and ./sc3u-2.0a-x86.run without the --keep arguement
