(DEPRECATED) Install Tactical Ops: Assault on Terror Ubuntu Linux

new version new

Probado en Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver, 20.04 Focal Fossa y Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish)

Requisitos: Download

• Imagen ISO del juego Tactical Ops v3.1.9
• Tactical Ops AoT v3.4.0 Linux.zip

Dependencias

Debido a que el juego corre en 32 bits, se necesitan algunas dependencias:

$ sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install libx11-6:i386 libxext6:i386 libc6:i386 libxpm4:i386

Instalar los siguiente para que el audio funcione:

$ sudo apt install osspd osspd-pulseaudio
$ sudo systemctl start osspd.service

• Ahora necesitamos descargar el instalador creado por Loki: 'Tactical Ops AoT v3.4.0 Linux.zip':

Tactical Ops AoT v3.4.0 Linux

También necesitamos el instalador para actualizar a la v3.5.0
Existen otras versiones de esta actualización, pero esta es la que me funciono a mi:

$ wget 'https://icculus.org/~ravage/tacticalops/do_not_link_to_these_files/tacticalops-3.5.0-x86.run'

Deberíamos tener los siguiente en nuestra carpeta de Descargas:

Descomprimir el archivo:

$ unzip Tactical\ Ops\ AoT\ v3.4.0\ Linux.zip -d Tactical_Ops_v3.4.0

Debemos remover TacticalOps.ini y User.ini.
Ir a la carpeta de la instalación anterior que es encuentra en el Escritorio.
Recomiendo abrir una nueva ventana de la terminal para no cerrar la ventana anterior:

$ cd ~/Desktop/tacticalops/System/
$ rm -r TacticalOps.ini
$ rm -r User.ini

Ahora volvemos a la otra terminal, como ya borramos estos dos archivos, continuamos... :

Configuración

Antes de ejecutar el juego debemos realizar algunas modificaciones al archivo TacticalOps.ini.
Como los PC de ultima genración son muy rapidaspuede usar SDLSoftDrv.SDLSoftwareRenderDevice como render.
En mi caso usaré "vim" pero puede ocupar cualquier otro editor texto como: nano, vs code, atom, etc.

Buscar [Engine.Engine] y agregar la siguiente línea. SDLSoftDrv.SDLSoftwareRenderDevice:

$ vim TacticalOps.ini
[Engine.Engine]
GameRenderDevice=SDLSoftDrv.SDLSoftwareRenderDevice
RenderDevice=SDLSoftDrv.SDLSoftwareRenderDevice
WindowedRenderDevice=SDLSoftDrv.SDLSoftwareRenderDevice

Cambiar el motor de audio:

[Engine.Engine]
AudioDevice=Audio.GenericAudioSubsystem
...
[Audio.GenericAudioSubsystem]
UseSurround=True

Ejecutar el juego.

$ cd ~/Escritorio/tacticalops/
$ ./tacticalops

I get this error message when trying to run ./tacticalops

./to-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libXpm.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

hi b3wii.... remember that if you have installed a version of linux in 64bits you must add the architecture in 32bits.
you need:
$ dpkg --add-architecture i386
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get install libxpm4:i386

Hi, I run the tactical-ops.eu website and some changes been made to the TO:AoT pack downloadable over there.
Thanks to the UT99 v469c patch there is now an update zip on the site that includes all required files to run TO client/server native on linux.
There are both x86 and x64 files, the x64 version is said to run "ok" on Debian and CentOS. For servers its recommended to use the x86 files or the ACE server addon doesn't work correctly.

amazing tactical-ops-eu

I saw your post in the TO Community Discord, thanks for testing the files and proving they work.
