| Q |
What are the system requirements for this installer? |
| A |
Linux 2.2 kernel or higher glibc-2.1 or higher ISO 9660 CDROM file system support Microsoft Joilet CDROM extensions Your Tactical Ops: Assault on Terror CDROM. |
| Q |
How do I install Tactical Ops: Assault on Terror? |
| A |
Download the installer for your
CD. For the USA version, get tacticalops-3.5.0-install-x86.run. For the European version, get tacticalops-3.1.9-install-x86.run, tacticalops-3.3.2-euro-x86.run, tacticalops-3.4.0-x86.run and tacticalops-3.5.0-x86.run Open a shell and run ./tacticalops-3.5.0-install-x86.run (or./tacticalops-3.1.9-install-x86.run) When the install has finished, run the 3.3.2 patch, then the 3.4.0 patch and finally the 3.5.0 patch. |
| Q | How
do I know what Tactical Ops CD I have? |
| A |
If you have played in Windows,
the USA version would install as 3.1.0 and the European as 3.1.9. |
| The contents of the USA cdrom
should look like this. |
|
| The contents of the European
cdrom should look like this. |
|
| Q |
Running ./tacticalops-3.5.0-install-x86.run doesn't do anything. |
| A |
Run chmod +x tacticalops-3.5.0-install-x86.run first. |
| Q | How
come there are more files to download for the European version? |
| A | I updated the USA installer
recently to install the game and patch up to 3.5.0 at the same
time. My European CD has read errors so I cannot update it. |
| Q |
The installer keeps asking for the Tactical Ops: Assault on Terror CDROM. I have it mounted in my cdrom drive. |
| A |
If you have supermount
installed, disable it and mount your cdrom drive manually. |
| A |
Make sure you have Joilet and ISO 9660 CDROM file system support installed. |
| A |
If the installer still can't find your cdrom, then run export SETUP_CDROM=/mnt/cdrom before you run the installer from the same shell. Replace /mnt/cdrom with your cdrom's mount point. |
| Q |
I
mount my CDROM in some really obscure place. |
| A |
These are the mount points that
will work without doing anything: /mnt /mnt/cdrecorder /mnt/cdrom /mnt/dvd /media/cdrecorder /media/cdrom /media/dvd /cdrom If it is not listed here, you will have to set SETUP_CDROM before you run the installer. eg. If you mount your CDROM under /mnt/cdrom0 then open a shell and type export SETUP_CDROM=/mnt/cdrom0 ./tacticalops-3.5.0-install-x86.run |
| Q |
During installation, I get
some error in my shell and then this: Unable to find file 'System' Unable to find file 'Textures' Unable to find file 'TacticalOps' Unable to find file 'Web' |
| A |
If you're using the updated
3.5.0 USA installer, then install unshield
and run the installer again. You will have to uninstall Tactical
Ops first by running the uninstall script in the installation directory. |
| A |
This currently applies to the
European installer only, or the old USA installer. You will have
to install wine
from here or here. If
you have wine, winex or cedega installed, it will be used instead of
the binaries I
include with the installer. Once you have installed either wine,
winex or cedega, you should be able to run the installer sucessfully. |
| Q |
When I run
'tacticalops', I get this error: Failed to load 'Engine': Can't find file for package 'Engine' |
| A |
See the above answer. This
is a result of wine failing to run on your system. |
| Q |
Why
do I need wine or unshield? |
| A |
The updated USA installer uses unshield to extract the files from the CD. The old USA installer and current European installer use wine. |
| Q |
Can
I specify where wine is installed on my system? |
| A |
Yes, run export
WINE_EXEC=/path/to/bin/wine before you run the installer. eg. export WINE_EXEC=/opt/wine/bin/wine ./tacticalops-3.1.9-install-x86.run |
| Q |
Tactical
Ops crashes when choosing a map to play on or when entering the main
menu. |
| A |
Check the underside of your CD.
Is it scratched/dirty? |
| Q |
How
do I play in French/German/Italian/etc? |
| A |
Install the latest patch. Edit ~/.TacticalOps/System/TacticalOps.ini (or /usr/local/games/tacticalops/System/TacticalOps.ini if you haven't run the game yet) Change Language=int to Language=frt for French Language=det for German Language=est for Spanish Language=itt for Italian |
| Q |
OpenGL
performance isn't that great. |
| A |
Try the old OpenGLDrv.so file. Extract to your
tacticalops/System directory. |
| Q |
How
do I uninstall Tactical Ops? |
| A |
Run the script named uninstall
in the installation directory. |
