Savage: Free gaming goodness
I spent most of yesterday ‘testing’ Savage: The Battle For Newerth.
I am not here to tell you about the game, I am here to get you playing it.
Firstly, you will have to download and install the game as shown in this forum post.
You will then have to install your distrobutions copy of gtk1.2.
Next up is editing the scripts to make it run. Open up /usr/sbin/savage in your choice of editor, e.g.
sudo gedit /usr/sbin/savage
You must replace savage.bin with silverback.bin. Here is an example of my file
#!/bin/sh
# Needed to make symlinks/shortcuts work.
# the binaries must run with correct working directory
cd /home/george/games/Savage
#LD_LIBRARY_PATH=libs:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ./savage.bin /home/george/games/Savage
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=libs:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ./silverback.bin
exit 0
And now savage *should* run! Happy hunting!

Well, there’s only one problem, this thing solves one error(unknown command), but silverback still doesn’t find the libraries.

Have you included this line “cd /home/george/games/Savage” and if so is it pointing to your home directory e.g. “/home/USERNAME/games/Savage”?
