A simple guide to play Jagged Alliance 2 on OpenBSD.
Applications: - Jagged Alliance 2 is a tactical role-playing game. You need the game because: "data files from the original game are still required and will be used by JA2-Stracciatella", take a look at GOG.com for example. I use the game from GOG for this guide. - Jagged Alliance 2 Stracciatella, "an improved, cross-platform, stable Jagged Alliance 2 runtime". - Innoextract. "Inno Setup is a tool to create installers for Microsoft Windows applications. innoextract allows to extract such installers under non-windows systems without running the actual installer using Wine". 1) Install, use root # pkg_add ja2-stracciatella # pkg_add innoextract 2) Get data files for Jagged Alliance 2 a) Download the game from your gog account. Extract the setup: $ mkdir jagged_alliance_2 $ mv setup_jagged_alliance_2.exe jagged_alliance_2/ $ cd jagged_alliance_2 $ innoextract setup_jagged_alliance_2.exe b) You installed the game under Windows? Copy the folder to you home. c) You have the CDs? At the moment I do not know how to extract the data files. 3) "Start the launcher and use it to configure the game. It will automatically create the configuration file": $ ja2 $ cd /home/YOUR_USER/.ja2 Edit ja2.ini: $ vim ja2.ini or $ leafpad ja2.ini or whatever you have to edit a file. data_dir = /home/YOUR_USER/jagged_alliance_2/app As the documentation said: "You have to select the directory that contains the directory called “Data”. Do not select the “Data” directory." 4) Launch the game: $ ja2 -res 1024x768 -fullscreen A resolution of 1024x768 and in fullscreen. Jagged Alliance 2 is one of my prefer games, I still play it since I bought the CDs in 2005. It deserves a look if you like those genre. N.B. : I am talking about Jagged Alliance 2 not Jagged Alliance 2: Wildfire and not Jagged Alliance 2: Unfinished business. In Gold pack I do not know if it possible.
