Could you add audio quake to this? I have no idea how to manually do it and it seems like the program uses a private wineprefix for everything.

Interesting that Swamp hasn't been working for you. It has been rock solid on multiple systems for me, and most of my friends use it too. The only caveat is if you are missing some of the gstreamer dependencies, you would need to delete the music directory so the game doesn't crackle and eventually crash. With the gstreamer stuff, it works just fine though.

If you are interested in helping with development, I can give you access to the code. Just email me or pm me here with your gitlab username. While more patrons would be a great thing, I'm not all hung up on it lol. If you can help the cause of getting more games in the hands of Linux and Mac users, than that's contribution a plenty.

AudioQuake is a special case. It's supposed to be available natively on all three platforms. In fact, I used to play it around 2008 I think it was, just after when I first started using Linux full time. Then, it stopped working, and I couldn't get it running again, so I haven't touched it since then. I went digging around on the github page and in the downloads, and there are still Linux based downloads and files available, but once again, I didn't have any luck with it.

So, I tried getting it going in wine, and no luck. There's some pretty interesting launcher stuff in there, including a start.pl script and some other things. I'm not to the point of saying it won't work under wine yet, just that I've not had any luck thus far. I get the feeling that if we do end up having to go the wine route it may take some pretty heavy customization to launch it. Fortunately, there's already a framework in place for custom launching because of Sequence Storm.

@156, Keybase is an excellent alternative to dropbox. If you like I can drop into the stormux Mumble server and help you get it set up, but once you store something in your KBFS public directory the link becomes a permalink until the content is removed. I don't see that ever changing (after all you can build websites in there so...).

That sounds cool. I will be connected to the Stormux mumble server today, so if you have time to drop in, that would be awesome. Things are often busy here, so if I don't respond, it just means I'm away from the keyboard helping the kids or something.

I wonder if there are corrupted files in the cache. Maybe try removing the cache, or if you want to keep the cache and just remove the Swamp stuff try something like this:

find ~/.config/storm-games/audiogame-manager/cache/ -name 'Swamp*' -exec rm {} +

The other option may be to try running the .bat file by hand and see if you get more useful output. Something like this should do it.

cd ~/.local/wine/swamp/drive_c/Program\ Files/swamp/
WINEPREFIX=.local/wine/swamp wine cmd.exe /c Windows32bit.bat

Hopefully one of those will help figure out what's going on. If not let me know and I'll see if I can come up with something else to fix it.

Also, feel free to drop by the Stormux mumble server and we can work on it in real time. It is mumble.stormux.org with default port.

Okay this just got more weird.

I decided fine, screw it, I'll start entirely from scratch and went back to run the .bat file by hand...
And...default wine desktop opened, instead of the cmd.exe. I'm running out of ideas, since the only common thread is the customized prefix I'm running since runningit in WINE itself gives a boatload of errors in the terminal. I'm just more confused now as to why Wine's thinking any command for Swamp is to launch the default desktop

Hey guys. Super excited to get this up and running. I'm a bit of a newb so this probably is an easy fix. I'm on a MacBook Air and I've got a fair way along getting this installed but I've hit a snag installing wine.
Got home brew installed I believe successfully then I run
brew tap gcenx/wine

it just puts me back at the download folder so I assume thats worked but when I run the next command "brew cask install --no-quarantine wine-crossover
" it gives me this error
"error, cask unknown command"
Am I missing something here?
I might add I did have crossover installed a while back as I was having a bit of a play around but I've removed that app. not sure if thats at all relevant haha.
Heeeeeeelppp please. God I don't miss command lines haha

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. I had to find someone who knew the answer. Apparently, the order of that last command has changed. The new syntax is:

brew install cask --no-quarantine wine-crossover

If you would be willing to try this, and let me know if it works, I will update the documentation. Oh, and while I have the attention of any Mac users who may be reading through this stuff, I need someone who has the Mac and is familiar with terminal usage and syntax, who is willing to build the mac binary.

Awesome. Thanks for testing that for me. I have updated the wiki.

I think some of the games will not work. I know the last time my friend tried Sequence Storm, it did not work. The list on the wiki is just games that are known to work and doesn't mean that the others will not. If you install a game and it doesn't work, there is the -r flag you can use to remove it, so it won't just sit there taking up valuable disk space.

Have you tried the TDSR screen reader? It may have fewer problems with the terminal.

I am glad you like it. Have fun gaming.

No, just the Mac, because the guy who wrote the article made a list of games that he tested. making a list of games for each distro would be a daunting task, because it's a moving target.

No, honestly I didn't even think about that. I tend to just search on the net if I want to know, or try it. Trying to maintain such a list with descriptions would probably be a project all its own.

Something just added, that may not be obvious to some users, is the documentation button. If you select a game that is installed, then press right arrow twice, you will land on the "Documentation" button. It requires w3m be installed, and if it is, it will then try to find the documentation for the game, so ReadMe or manual. It's not 100%, and some games don't  come with documentation included, but it works for the most part.
