Dune 2000 requires Mono 4.2 or greater and the cert-sync utility.
Please install Mono using your system package manager.

AppImages must come bundled with everything that cannot reasonably be expected to be "there" on each target system (distribution) in the default installation.

Yep, sadly the AppImages so far have been lacking Mono. Version 4.2 and later of Mono is pretty ubiquitous though, so it should be no big drama to get it on most distros. But, I am pleased to say, the next playtest and releases will have Mono bundled with them (thanks to OpenRA/OpenRA#16316), partly because they kind of have to as they're increasing the minimum Mono version required to 5.12.x (that PR I referenced included 5.10.x, but it was found that was insufficient, so a later PR bumped the included Mono to 5.20.x), which is absent from the repos of many of the more conservative distros.

I have my own fork that builds the Mono-inclusive AppImages from the latest commits: https://github.com/fusion809/OpenRA/releases, if you feel like testing them out. The only thing I've changed in my fork is the .travis.yml file (if you want to confirm this feel free to look at: OpenRA/OpenRA@bleed...fusion809:bleed), so I can get the packages/installers/AppImages built for the latest commits uploaded to the releases page.

This looks much better. But on my test machine there is no sound card (headless server). Hence getting

AL lib: alsa_open_playback: Could not open playback device 'default': No such file or directory
Renderer initialization failed. Check graphics.log for details.
Exception of type `System.InvalidOperationException`: Failed to initialize platform-integration library. Check graphics.log for details.
  at OpenRA.Game.Initialize (OpenRA.Arguments args) [0x00156] in <ef93451137954f4d8f0e54cab002e841>:0 
  at OpenRA.Game.InitializeAndRun (System.String[] args) [0x00006] in <ef93451137954f4d8f0e54cab002e841>:0 
  at OpenRA.Program.Main (System.String[] args) [0x00044] in <ef93451137954f4d8f0e54cab002e841>:0

So seems we are blocked by travis-ci/travis-ci#1754 as far as this test goes.

Any help appreciated on how to run this on a soundcard-less server.

I noticed that you auto-generated scripts pick the first in alphabetical order. You may want to change this to

Maybe even omit the version to keep this timeless.

Doesn't really matter as the releases are synchronized.

I am not sure if the audio crash is resolved, but I assume this will crash then as no OpenGL is present on a headless server. You may want to harvest screenshots from https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRAWeb/tree/master/content/images/screenshots instead.

Thanks @Mailaender for your review. However, all the information is pulled out of the contents of the AppImage automatically and must not be edited here by hand. The only input to this repo is the link to the AppImage, everything else is extracted from there.

I have changed the link to the AppImage to the URL you posted.

If you would like to get your other changes applied, then please work with the https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/ team to get them into the AppImage. Thanks for your understanding, and please reply here in case something I wrote should not be clear.

Seemingly we are unable to take a screenshot automatically, do you have any idea why that might be?

Ah, right. Thing is, the way this repo is set up it must pass the test (which includes taking a screenshot) before it can be merged, because otherwise when I merge it will still not show up on the website which kinda defeats the purpose. So it looks like we need to find some way to get OpenGL running without the headless server having a certain type of GPU. Unfortunately I don't know where to even start...

There is https://www.mesa3d.org/osmesa.html but I doubt it works.
