Installing Diablo on IRIX using remote RPMs

diablo_install.txt

Here are some directions to install Diablo (devilutionX) on your SGI running IRIX.

- THANKS to Onre, HAL, Unxmaal, jenna16bit, mach-kernal of SGI UG! They did this.
- tested on 6.5.30, with RSE 0.0.7 on a Fuel and base Octane 1. Sound just works
- this is using SDL2, so many more games are in the pipeline!
- all packages were built on my Fuel with RSE 0.0.7 and patches and help from the gang above
- the dandyum repo host is mine and running on Digital Ocean droplet
- many hours of hacking, building packages and staging so you can install with one command... enjoy
- join us and help at http://sgi.sh/

Directions
- you should have RSE 0.0.7 installed on your SGI

Install Diablo using the above repo:
-------------------------------------
$ sudo microdnf install devilutionX

Pull down the data file and ini file to run diablo:
--------------------------------------------------

Get game files from GOG:
https://www.gog.com/game/diablo

Get a working ini:

$ wget http://dandyum2.irix.fun/diablo/diablo.ini

> make the dir for datafiles

$ mkdir -p ~/.local/share/diasurgical/devilution

> copy files into place:

cp diablo.ini ~/.local/share/diasurgical/devilution
cp diabdat.mpq ~/.local/share/diasurgical/devilution


Start the game:
----------------
/usr/sgug/bin/devilutionX


* Put speakers on your SGI to enjoy the sound

* Troubleshooting:
if game starts full screen edit diablo.ini and ensure that:

Fullscreen=0
Upscale=0

Sometimes the game resets them when it first starts up.
