Powerslave EX Linux

Quick-and-dirty build system to get Linux binaries out of the old Powerslave EX source code. Since Angelscript and FFmpeg broke their API in the meantime, this will get and build old source releases of these libraries as well.

Building

You will need the following development packages:

• SDL2
• OpenAL
• libvorbis
• libogg
• libpng
• zlib

Old versions of Angelscript and FFmpeg must be compiled like this: (you do not need to install them, they will be used locally without issue)

make lib

Then simply build the game:

make

Game files

Since the original project seems to have attracted some copyright holder asshole the required game files are not officially distributed by its creator anymore. Copy them to a game_data folder at the root of this repo before compiling, or simply add them to the bin folder afterwards to be able to play. You will need:

• the game.kpf file (required)
• the movies folder (optional/recommended)
• the music folder (optional/recommended)
• the addons folder (optional/mods)

Running

make run
