Excalibur Morganas Revenge (SOLVED)

http://sourceforge.net/projects/emr3/files/complete-scenario4%20%28linux%29/EMR%203.0%202007-06-02%20%28Linux%29/emr-3.0-0602.tgz/download

Have been wanting to try this game out for a while now, but have never been able to accomplish it.
Has any one managed this, if so any chance of a step by step. :?

Thanks in advance

*EDIT*
Well i found this pagehttp://xzcallaway.synthasite.com/rpg.php
and so was able to install Aleph One by downloading this deb http://xzcallaway.synthasite.com/resources/alephone_20090909-1_i386.deb 32bit only so ran it by sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture alephone_20090909-1_i386.deb
Then I changed directory in terminal to excaliburs folder make then sudo make install
Which installed it but when I try to run it i get the following error in terminal
/usr/local/bin/alephone: error while loading shared libraries: libspeex.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

SIGH! :evil:

I would search in google and synaptic for libspeex.

Have it working nicely in Wine though, would rather have it running natively

Re: Excalibur Morganas Revenge (any ideas?)

I pulled up alacarte to get the command that the excalibur launcher was using to launch game which was loadmarathonexcalibur
I then punched it into terminal to get the proper error message
rustybolts@rustybolts-laptop:~$ loadmarathonexcalibur
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/loadmarathonexcalibur", line 11, in <module>

An old thread of yours which may help -> Someone was trying to compile it by the sounds of it.

After some more searching, looks like wx refers to wxPythonGTK "python-wxgtk2.8" try installing that.

Yeah that got me over that hurdle.
But now after running launcher again (see screenshot) despite installing Aleph One via 32bit deb

Re: Excalibur Morganas Revenge (any ideas?)

So i know i have Aleph one installed. So i went back to first step of making excalibur file and got the following error


[ -x /usr/local/bin/alephone ] || ( echo /usr/local/bin/alephone is not executable && false)
/usr/local/bin/alephone is not executable



The poster on the thread
[url="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1440940"]http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1440940[/url] he said
keyword is "alephone" googled it and the game aleph one came up, so I downloaded it as well and cd'd to the folder and did a ./config and ...

The writing in red what the hell is he on about because thats how he fixed the problem. :(

Re: Excalibur Morganas Revenge (any ideas?)

Now Works

Well I searched for Alephone file it was actually located in /usr/bin/alephone so i sudo nautilus i copied and pasted into /usr/local/bin.
It now works but not in the orthodox fashion the menu launcher still doesn't work but i can change this.
The file "emr" if set to run as executable starts the game (file is contained in original zip of EMR).

Now to clean up my menus. :D

Re: Excalibur Morganas Revenge (SOLVED)

Well you should be able to just point your menu item to the file you moved, good job!
