Finalizing linux install

Zorkerz: /* Finalizing installation */

= Finalizing installation =

Now you have Spring installed along with SpringLobby, and some maps. All that is left is to add the data directories and a mod and you're ready to play either online or in single player.

=== Data Directories ===

Do this to create your per-user data directories. You will be downloading maps and mods into these directories later. Paste the following into the terminal:

<code><pre>
mkdir ~/.spring ~/.spring/base ~/.spring/maps ~/.spring/mods
</pre></code>

=== Mods ===

Since Spring itself is only an engine, just like maps, you need to download the mods for it. All of the sites above host mods too, so you can get some from there, and save them under ~/.spring/mods.

==== BA (Balanced Annihilation) ====

A popular mod to get started with is Balanced Annihilation (BA) 6.21. Please note that before you can run it though, you'll need to download the OTA content - read the section below on how to get that.

==== CA (Complete Annihilation) ====

A new mod with better models, graphical effects, and a different take on gameplay is the CA mod - get it [http://trac.caspring.org/wiki/PythonDownloader here].

==== OTA Content ====

If you want to play mods based on Total Annihilation, for example XTA, AA, BA, then you have to do the following:

<code><pre>
wget http://ipxserver.dyndns.org/games/spring/mods/xta/base-ota-content.zip
unzip -d ~/.spring/base base-ota-content.zip
</pre></code>

Note that you need to own a copy of Total Annihilation, to download this file legally.

Mods that do not require this file are at least NanoBlobs and Kernel Panic. The [http://caspring.org CA mod] is also working on phasing out the need for OTA content by re-doing the models.

=== Lobby Client ===

To setup online games, you need a lobby client. There are several options to choose from. On Ubuntu your all set, the SpringLobby was already installed as a dependency of the spring package.

You can also use a lobby client to setup single player matches against the AI. TODO more information about setting up tasclient to play against AI.

Recommended lobby client for linux is either SpringLobby or AFLobby. You can use them in windows and mac too.

==== [http://springlobby.info SpringLobby] ====

SpringLobby is for (at least) Windows, Linux and Mac. It's now in a usable state and has a feature set close to that of TASClient for windows. Try it out! Bug reports and feature requests are very much welcome.

If you're on Ubuntu, then you have installed it already. Otherwise, visit http://springlobby.info for download information and all things SpringLobby.

==== AFLobby ====

This project is very promising, and is usable for online multi player. Its the oldest lobby still actively maintained.

Official webpage for the project is http://www.darkstars.co.uk which should always have the latest release for download.

=== Maps ===
There are many maps not found in the repository that can be downloaded from several easy to use websites - here are some:
*[http://spring.jobjol.nl/subcategory.php?id=1 SpringFiles]
*[http://spring-portal.com/ Spring-Portal]
*[http://www.darkstars.co.uk/downloads/index.php?dir=spring Darkstars]

Pick any of those sites, download a map, and save it under ~/.spring/maps/ (if the folder doesn't exist - see the Data Directories section above on how to make one). Don't unpack the file in any way though, just download and save it.

Hint: If you know the map name you want, there is a Search function provided in those websites. Just write a part of the name, like one word, and you'll easily find the map you were looking for - this is helpful later on.

''' That's it! You're now good to play Spring. Launch SpringLobby to either play single player vs AI's, or online at the lobby server. '''

We now have a maintained and up to date APT repository for Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy) and 8.04 (Hardy). If you have some older version of ubuntu, you can easily upgrade with these instructions: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading.

The components necessary for a fully playable spring game are the spring engine, a lobby client (already installed in Ubuntu), a mod and at least one map. Currently the repository contains everything except mods.

= Installation =

To install the engine, lobby client and maps follow the instructions for either the GUI or CLI installation method below.

=== Graphically GUI ===

Go to System Ã¢â€ â€™ Administration Ã¢â€ â€™ Software Sources, and click on the Third-Party Software tab. Then, click the Ã¯Â¹Â¢Add button, and paste one of the two lines corresponding to your Ubuntu release (7.10 or 8.04). Finally click the +Add button again and add the second line:

'''Ubuntu 7.10 "Gutsy Gibbon"''':
<code><pre>
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/spring/ubuntu gutsy main
</pre></code>
<code><pre>
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/spring/ubuntu gutsy main
</pre></code
IF the above do not work, read the following forum post regarding downloading Spring using the Synaptic Package Manager (GUI).
[http://spring.clan-sy.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=262539#p262539 Download using Synaptic Package Manager]>

'''Ubuntu 8.04 "Hardy Heron"''':
<code><pre>
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/spring/ubuntu hardy main
</pre></code>
<code><pre>
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/spring/ubuntu hardy main
</pre></code>

Then click Close, and Reload. After that's done, head to System Ã¢â€ â€™ Administration Ã¢â€ â€™ Synaptic Package Manager, and search for ''spring''. For the bare essentials, you'll need to install the spring and spring-maps-default packages. Other maps are available there, so check them off if you'd like to get them. After you're done, click on Apply, and Spring will be downloaded & installed.

Spring lobby can be found in Applications Ã¢â€ â€™ Games. (Please note that you also need mods to play, and they aren't yet available in the repository. Scroll down to the Mods section of this page on how to get those).

=== Or in the terminal CLI ===

Press alt-F2 to run a command. Enter:
<code><pre>
gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/springproject.list
</pre></code>

Copy and paste the following into the file:

Ubuntu 7.10:
<code><pre>
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/spring/ubuntu gutsy main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/spring/ubuntu gutsy main
</pre></code>

Ubuntu 8.04:
<code><pre>
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/spring/ubuntu hardy main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/spring/ubuntu hardy main
</pre></code>

Save the file. You can then either use the graphical package manager Synaptic (System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager) and search for spring related packages, or just install spring from a terminal using:
<code><pre>
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install spring spring-maps-default
</pre></code>

Many other map packages are also available in the repository. To add them in a terminal enter.
<code><pre>
sudo apt-get install spring-maps-1v1 spring-maps-deltasiege spring-maps-hunterw
spring-maps-kernelpanic spring-maps-smallsupreme and spring-maps-teamplay
</pre></code>

=== Other information ===
The webpage for the repository is here - you can browse other spring packages there as well: https://edge.launchpad.net/~spring/+archive

For configuring the lobbies, you can note that the package installs the Spring executable at <code>/usr/games/spring</code> and
read-only data in <code>/usr/share/games/spring</code>.

We now have a maintained and up to date APT repository for Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy) and 8.04 (Hardy). If you have some older version of ubuntu, you can easily upgrade with these instructions: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading.

The components necessary for a fully playable spring game are the spring engine, a lobby client (already installed in Ubuntu), a mod and at least one map.

To install the spring engine follow the instructions for either the GUI or CLI installation method.

= Graphically GUI =

Go to System Ã¢â€ â€™ Administration Ã¢â€ â€™ Software Sources, and click on the Third-Party Software tab. Then, click the Ã¯Â¹Â¢Add button, and paste one of the two lines corresponding to your Ubuntu release (7.10 or 8.04). Finally click the +Add button again and add the second line:

<code><pre>
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/spring/ubuntu gutsy main
</pre></code>
<code><pre>
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/spring/ubuntu gutsy main
</pre></code
IF the above do not work, read the following forum post regarding downloading Spring using the Synaptic Package Manager (GUI).

</pre></code>
<code><pre>
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/spring/ubuntu hardy main
</pre></code>

Then click Close, and Reload. After that's done, head to System Ã¢â€ â€™ Administration Ã¢â€ â€™ Synaptic Package Manager, and search for ''spring''. For the bare essentials, you'll need to install the spring. Maps are available there, so check them off if you'd like to get them. A good start is spring-maps-default After you're done, click on Apply, and Spring will be downloaded & installed.

Spring lobby can be found in Applications Ã¢â€ â€™ Games. (Please note that you also need mods to play, and they aren't yet available in the repository. Scroll down to the Mods section of this page on how to get those).

= Or in the terminal CLI =

Many maps packages are also available in the repository. To get the defaults enter the following into a terminal.
<code><pre>

= Other information =
There are maps packages that can be added from the repository including spring-maps-1v1 spring-maps-default spring-maps-deltasiege spring-maps-hunterw spring-maps-kernelpanic spring-maps-smallsupreme and spring-maps-teamplay.
