Doom Legacy

I downloaded Doom Legacy the other day, and I'm a bit embarassed here! I don't know how to install from a "tar.bz2" file! I looked all over the site, and found no text files or pages to explain how to do it, and I found none inside the archive either. I may well have missed something. Is there anyone here that can tell me how? (I have the pwads...) Confused

BTW, it is not a source file, according to the web site, but binaries, and hopefully, I didn't get the Winduhs version... Embarassed

I don't know about doom legacy, but LSDLdoom is fine, and is just as good (they all share code with one another)
There's plenty of docs with this one:
http://firehead.org/~jessh/lsdldoom/

hmm, I was sure it was part of the http://lgames.sf.net thing :confused:

SDL is an API for C/C++ which gives you some low level multimedia commands - Blitting, framebufer access, sound buffers, input etc.
Kind of like DirectX for windows, but without Direct3D. The graphics subsystem is similar in some respects to DirectDraw, but there's also a few differences - enough to make porting more than a little effort.

BTW, to uncompress a tar.bz2 file, use
tar xvjf
instead of
tar xvzf.

There's no need for the "v", it slows it down as the teminal has a specified scrollrate attached. Hence with big files you notice it stalling occasionally.

True. For anyone who doesn't know, "v" is for verbose, so it spews output to the screen.

No! It's

or
tar xjf legacy_linux_141.tar.bz2

For those that don't know, the "j" makes it unbzip2 it first, saves you piping it in or doing it in two stages. Its roughly equivalent to:

for the one I downloaded, I did not need to use the command line interpretor "J"
