A complete installation guide without installing from discs including the music missing from the OpenRA Dune mod
If you have any of the original discs or have disc images, there is
a guide here on how to install
the assets manually, although selecting Use CD
when you install
the mods should automatically use the disc contents.
There is also a complete manual install guide here.
- Most of the game files (other than movies) can be downloaded straight from within OpenRA itself, so you'd want to install OpenRA first:
- http://www.openra.net/download
- Once that has installed, go to the content manager for all 3 mods and click all the download buttons (click Manage Content then choose Download).
The music for the Dune2K mod was removed from the download mirrors because of licensing concerns (see this PR).
You can still get the zip containing the music from this repo.
This archive needs to be extracted to the d2k
mod folder
(see folder paths section), so that the *.AUD
files end up in the Music
folder.
If you download this repo, you can use the scripts in Install-D2K-Music to extract d2k-music.zip
to the right place:
- Windows: run
install.bat
from the Install-D2K-Music folder - Linux: run
bash install.sh
from the Install-D2K-Music folder - Mac: Double-click on
d2k-music.zip
in Finder, then drag the resultingMusic
folder to theMac-Drag-Here
alias
The path for the OpenRA folder differs per operating system, but they are always (unless a portable installation is used) contained in a user data folder, not system-wide.
Windows:
%APPDATA%\OpenRA
(or%USERPROFILE%\My Documents\OpenRA
if an old installation)
Linux:
~/.config/openra
(or~/.openra
if an old installation)
Mac OSX:
~/Library/Application Support/OpenRA
In a portable installation (Windows), the folder path will be
%ProgramFiles%\OpenRA
with a Support
subfolder instead of Content
.
The folder you will want when installing assets is the Content
subfolder,
this has a folder for each mod (cnc
, d2k
, ra
) with the mod assets
contained (ra
and d2k
folders additionally have a v2
folder within).
Also, please note that the scripts in this repo use the new Content folder location. If you have an old installation path, move/symlink the OpenRA folder, or move the files after running a script.
