Need help with installing on Ubuntu
Re: Need help with installing on Ubuntu
That got solved by installing those ia32-libs. So the game runs but there were some great graphics issues. I couldn't see half of the objects and what I could see were all covered in blue and red pixels. Like back in the day with amiga So I went ahead and tried to install nvidia drivers for my macbook pro. Something went wrong and now the bloody ubuntu won't boot up. I'm a little bummed because I was hoping for linux to actually work. I guess I have to aquire windows 7. Atleast until that ahmm mac port

Run it from a terminal window so you can see the error messages.

Re: Need help with installing on Ubuntu
I dont get an error message. When i run it and select "Run in Terminal", it opens a terminal then closes quickly. Then nothing happens, or atleast nothing pops up. all three files are extracted into the same folder.

I mean you should start a terminal, type "cd /where/you/unpacked/mxsim" (obviously, not literally), and type "./mx".

Re: Need help with installing on Ubuntu
"Can't find game data" means you're missing the zzz?.saf files. They need to be in the folder with mx and mxbin. On the native Linux client the personal data is in "~/.mxsimulator", which is the same as "/home/<username>/.mxsimulator".

Re: Need help with installing on Ubuntu
You don't need to worry about that yet. Your install folder needs these files in it:
mx
mxbin
zzzu.saf
zzzv.saf
zzzw.saf
zzzx.saf
zzzy.saf
zzzz.saf
Doesn't matter where you put it. It just needs all of those files.
mx
mxbin
zzzu.saf
zzzv.saf
zzzw.saf
zzzx.saf
zzzy.saf

Re: Need help with installing on Ubuntu
Ok where can i get those files, All i have at the moment is the mxbin, mx, and the read me. Those files are in the folder that i extracted the download to. However they arent in the folder ./mxsimulator because i dont know where that folder is, but i found it in the terminal by navigating to it in home folder.

Re: Need help with installing on Ubuntu
You could move them over from your windows installation. If it's easier for you, I sent you a full Linux tarball via PM.

Re: Need help with installing on Ubuntu
The tarball will make a folder named "mxsimulator-1_7". That's your install folder. You can put all read only stuff in there.
When you run the game, it will create "/home/<username>/.mxsimulator". That's your personal folder. Put stuff in there if you want MX Sim to be able to write to it. E.g. a track you're working on with the editor.
Most unix software will expand "~" to "/home/<username>". So if you see someone write "~" it means your home directory.
