Steps for getting gemrb to work with Baldur's Gate 2

1. Download these depencies

http://bundyo.com/things/libopenal1_...22-1_armel.deb

You could probably copy over to /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads
*Note case sensitive (you guys should know by now)

2. Download gemrb from here
http://bundyo.com/things/gemrb-0.6.0-maemo0.deb
*You may place it at /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads too

3. Grant yourself root access using xterminal using command -> sudo gainroot

4. Install each and every libopenal .deb files by using this command -> dpkg -i libopenal1-dbg_1.10.622-1_armel.deb

5. Install gemrb using the above same command -> dpkg -i gemrb-0.6.0-maemo0.deb

6. Create a bg2 folder/directory by using command -> mkdir /home/user/MyDocs/bg2
*This directory should contain all bg2 source files and folders.

7. Create folder for gemrb.cfg to reside in by using command ->
mkdir /home/user/.gemrb/

8.Download gemrb.cfg from
http://www.4shared.com/file/ZD6jG2_J/configi.html

9. Move gemrb.cfg to /home/user/.gemrb/gemrb.cfg by using command -> mv gemrb.cfg /home/user/.gemrb/
*Take note, you must be at the directory where you first placed gemrb.cfg like e.g. /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads

10. Run gemrb by using two command -> cd /usr/bin
-> gemrb

Just hope I did not make this up too complicated, this should make everything work but I'm sure I did miss out something

I'll continue to keep the post updated should I find out what I missed.

Hope you guys have some fun even though it might not be perfect enough.

Re: GemRb Development Thread
 

Why install the -dev and -dbg packages? Aren't they only needed if you're going to compile against the OpenAL library?

To start gemrb, all you need to do is to write gemrb in an XTerminal. If you do "cd /usr/bin" first, you need to write "./gemrb".

EDIT:
And don't forget to exit from your root shell before starting the application.

Enjoy the biggest adventures on gemrb :)
I suggest Baldur's Gate 1, because it seems less buggy then other infinity engine games.

Re: GemRb Development Thread
 

Thanks everyone for making this possible, The infinity games are my top favorite games ever made and to be able to play them on my phone is pure gold.

At the moment i'm working on getting to run, i just got my n900 so everything goes a bit slow but i think i'l soon have it working.

Thou i a questions:
If i would like to play Icewind Dale or Planescape Torment i just need to change the paths in gemrb.cfg right?

What would have been cool is if you could choose bewteen different games when you loaded Gemrb, so i you can have both Bg2 and IWD on your N900 and when you start GemRB it asks you wich game and then cooses the right config file.

Re: GemRb Development Thread
 

With config files it's pretty easy :)

Put the game files into bg2 folder and in config file you have to change line called "GameType=bg2" to "GameType=icw" or "GameType=pst" for Planescape Torment.

You have to ask it on gemrb forums ;)

Re: GemRb Development Thread
 

Bah this problem is killing me, i have installed GemRB as WhiteIce suggested but i'm having problems getting my bg2 source files over to my N900.
THe only way i know of getting them over is using OpenSSH. I have installed OpenSSH client on my N900 and using WinSCP from my pc but i always get an error halway through the transfer.
Really frustrating, anyone know a bether way?

Re: GemRb Development Thread
 

Connect the USB cable and enter drive mode and copy the files that way?

Re: GemRb Development Thread
 

If I connect with a usb cable and enter mass storage mode i can't access the right folders or is there an other usb mode i dont know about?
