Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs

Before you play

This port is still WIP. To play the game you will need to modify the files from the original game following these instructions:

• Download and install Autodesk FBX converter. You may need to install Windows on some VM for that.
• Convert all .FBX models in the game directory to Collada format (file extension .dae).
• From the top directory where the game assets are invoke the following command: find . -name "*.ent" -print0 | xargs -0 sed -i.bak 's/\.FBX/\.dae/'.

If you do something wrong you will not see manpigs and children in the beginning of the game.

Readme

This is a port of Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs developed by The Chinese Room and published by Frictional Games to Linux/BSD systems. It's 100% binary blob free (thanks to buzer2020's port). Only few dependencies are bundled with this fork:

• OALWrapper. It's easier to bundle it because it's specific to Frictional Games.
• Newton Dynamics Engine. Finding the sources for this particular version was a pain (again, thanks to buzer2020 here on GitHub).
• AngelScript. There is lang/angelscript port in FreeBSD ports collection, but that version is too new for this game.

Building

Just run

mkdir build && cd build
cmake ../Game/src
make

or, alternatively, if you want your game assets installed system-wide:

mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DSYSTEMWIDE_RESOURCES=ON -DSYSTEMWIDE_RESOURCES_LOCATION="/path/to/game/assets" ../amnesia/src
make

This will produce a single executable, AmnesiaAMFP which you need to run to play the game.

Dependencies

In addition to those ancient bundled dependencies, the game needs a few newer ones:

• OpenGL
• SDL2
• libtheora
• libvorbis
• libvorbisfile
• DevIL
• GLEW

All this libraries can be found in FreeBSD ports.

Additional notes

The original repository has a bunch of additional tools like level and model editors. Because these tools are not suitable for my Wayland environment and require X libraries, I do not build them. The sources are still here, however.
