Yeah, please send me a directory listing of the CDRom content. Does uncab list the content of the archives? If yes, send me that too, I might then be able to write an installation script.

I have the datafiles from JA2 Gold Pack unpacked to a directory, and I have unpacked the OS4 binary into same directory. Now, when I try to launch the game either from icon or from shell, the game won't start. The same happens in both Window and Full Screen mode. I can see the game trying to open a screen/window but failing and returning to OS4. No error messages or GR's appear.

Am I missing some .so file or is there something else blocking the game?

Here's listing of my 'SOBJ:' directory:

@GrumpyOldMan

If it were one of the so files then ELF.library would complain. I suspect there might be an installation problem.

Make sure that the directory where you have the "ja2" binary and the "ja2.ini" file also contains a directory called "Data" with all the data files.

If that is the case, try running Snoopy to see what it is missing.

@Rogue

I bought the Windows version but installed the Linux one (that I downloaded from torrent since the Linux version is unavailable in any shop I looked around).

The Linux version works flawlessly here. I don't have much money right now but when I have some cash, I'll gladly give some money to you (and many others I have thought of from a long time ).

Anyway, would a french port be fastidious or can it be realized without too much trouble?

@K-L

I'll see what I can do.

Linuxversion is available here:

@ZeroG

Thanks for the link, I'll put it on Amiga-NG.org for french users

@Rogue

Hm, I must have misunderstood the installation instructions then - in the 'ReadMeFirst' file that comes with the OS4 binary there is a line (I quote):

"...your Jagged Alliance 2 directory should not contain a directory called "Data"."

Maybe the 'not' should actually be 'now'?

AW, I created the 'Data' directory, moved the data files into it and now the game starts properly. Many thanks for your help and for the OS4 version of the game
