Steam Deck installation?
Closed this issue · 8 comments
Has anyone tried to install this into a Steam Deck? I've been trying for a while now and I'm not successful. I'm following the Linux installation guide but nothing happens when I execute the rp-install.sh
No idea. What's it run? Some custom Linux distro?
Yup, it's Valve's Linux distro SteamOS
Run script with bash -x and see where it stops.
OK, it seems partially the problem is in my Linux illiteracy. I was supposed to run "sh rpu-install.sh" command apparently. Double clicking on the file in Dolphin didn't do anything (or at least didn't provide any response like a popup with error or something like that).
After running the "sh rpu-install.sh" in the terminal, I got the "recursive lower case" error, which I guess can be fixed with some terminal command.
This comment has some more detailed instructions that I guess should work (they did for a few people in the comments). I guess unzipping with -LL is a good way to fix the lower case issue.
Maybe you can add this section (possibly making it a bit more specific and precise) as a new section for Steam Deck enthusiasts? Note that a lot of us are Linux noobs :D

- Download rpu_v*.zip from the latest release page. (Current one is https://github.com/BGforgeNet/Fallout2_Restoration_Project/releases/tag/v26 )
- Download Fallout 2 on steam (Under "Compatibility" I have it checked to force a specific version which I set to Proton 6.3-8
- Run Fallout 2 then close out of the game once you get to the title screen.
- Open rpu_v* and dump the files into the Fallout 2 game folder, when prompted select "Replace All" (mine is /home/jak/HDD1/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Fallout 2) (Or right click Fallout 2 on steam, properties, local files, browse and that is the folder)
- Back out once so you're in the ../steamapps/common folder and right click the Fallout 2 folder, select compress, and make it a .zip file.
- Delete the Fallout 2 folder so that the only Fallout 2 in the folder is the .zip file.
- Right click in the ../steamapps/common folder and open in terminal.
- Type "unzip -LL Fallout\ 2.zip" (with no quotes)
- When prompted to replace the fallout 2/f2_res_config.exe type no and press enter.
- Now inside the newly unzipped fallout 2 folder right click and open in terminal, type "./rpu-install.sh" (without the quotes)
- In ../common/fallout 2 right click on the ddraw.ini and open with a text editor.
Find the DamageFormula= line and change it to =1, =2, or =5 to apply the AP ammo fix depending on which version you want.
This isn't needed but the official mod page suggests it. I play with DamageFormula=1 - On steam right click Fallout 2 and go to general and under launch options and paste WINEDLLOVERRIDES="ddraw.dll=n" %command%
- Launch Fallout 2 and pray to God that everything works.
This was done on Manjaro. I haven't tested it on the steam deck but it should be similar enough because they're both arch based. Good luck my friend!
-LL does nothing, the packages doesn't have uppercased files anyway.
It it has wine, you should be able to just run the exe with wine.
Yeah, but original game had uppercased files, right? The suggestion is to zip entire game folder and unpack it with -LL.
Oh, I see. I guess it's one way to that.
I don't think this is a place for general OS education, though, so probably not going to include this longish guide.
I would accept a script to lowercase stuff, but it'd have to be crossplatform enough.
