What i need to run and play D3BFG in my Debian linux?

Well your PC must be at least Dual core, and a 2Gb RAM amount, the GPU video card must be at least 1G GRAM DDR4 with good opengl support.. basically any computer from 2015 and up will run the games.. Also you will need almost 11 Gigs of space disk on your installation for the game data.

Doom3bfg project is at https://github.com/RobertBeckebans/RBDOOM-3-BFG and mods to use this engine are not just putting data files.. each data file has the logic compiled as shared libraries.. (like quake2 engine and so)

Debian package is found at https://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=names&keywords=rbdoom3bfg

Data files can be obtained from VenenuX Game group at Telegram here: https://t.me/minecraft_linux/894 or here https://t.me/venenux_games/479 .. the game file is at https://t.me/c/1561942995/931 

How to install DOOM3BFG in my debian linux ?

Its easy, of course this article is only for people that dont use our Doom VenenuX packages, that automatically install all the data files.

Of course the package of the engine must be installed as the picture shows:

Then you must download the data files using your prefered way, the DVD original has already the data files but crypted.. so we will not cover that shit here! You have two options: use the VEnenuX Telegram version (As posted in previous section) or use the game-data-packager with the downloaded data files if you already have it. WE will assume you already downloaded the Telegram files:

After download the data files (see previous section) extract it.. with full path using "x" flag command from p´7zip project archiver and extractor

For any question you can request support for Venenux at our VenenuX bot venenux https://t.me/venenux_minetest_bot .. be prepare to use your anydesk id number so our people can connect to your linux that must be Debian only!

This version already has a engine to play.. we will ignore it and will use only the "base" directory created, we must move this to $HOME/.rbdoom3bfg/base (directory must be created using the current user of course) if you only wants this able to use to the current user, or move to /usr/share/games/doom3bfg/base (directory must be createrd and read only by system) if you want the game will be available to all system available users.

I just use a example my desktop, so i use those commands.. but you should use a mv command:

Installing the package is just installing the engine, and we have now all the things to run it.. menu entry is not created cos we used the most manual way to reach the game running.

If you want a more debian way you can use game-data-packager to create all the necesary files and customize the isntallation.
