It looks great! But I can't figure out how to install tar.gz files xD
Any help or tutorial how to install this game. I downloaded and installed zod_engine_installer-2011-07-07.exe and there are maps, sprites, sounds and other files. So tell me, where I should copy them and how to make shortcut to this game?

The screenshots look very promising. I can't figure out how to install it either

1. Download zod_linux-2011-07-07.tar.gz from http://sourceforge.net/projects/zod/...inux_releases/ and my file (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=2HRKTVJX) to MyDocs
2. Run xterm then:
cd MyDocs
tar -xzvf zod_linux-2011-07-07.tar.gz
sudo mkdir /opt/zod
sudo mv zod.tar.gz /opt/zod
cd /opt/zod
sudo tar -xzvf zod.tar.gz
sudo ln -s /home/user/MyDocs/zod_engine/assets .
sudo cp /home/user/MyDocs/zod_engine/*.map .
sudo cp /home/user/MyDocs/zod_engine/*.txt .

You should now be able to run the game from /opt/zod directory.

For a shortcut you would need to create a .desktop file that would run .sh file that would run one of the commands described in previous posts (fullscreen/windowed).

First - Thanks for the steps...

I am struck in "sudo mv zod.tar.gz /opt/zod" step

"zod.tar.gz" No such file or directory

After executing tar -xzvf zod_linux-2011-07-07.tar.gz, I can see one directory zod_engine but cannot fins zod.tar.gz.

Also please let me know how to run the game, I cannot find any sh files.

Please help, thanks in advance!!

If you extract zod.tar.gz to /opt/zod it should already be executable. 'sudo chmod +x zod' in any case and run with:
./zod -l map_list.txt -n zlover -t red -b blue -r 800x480
for fullscreen or
./zod -l map_list.txt -n zlover -t red -b blue -r 800x400 -w
for windowed mode. Removing '-b blue' will start the game with no AI so you can get accustomed to the interface.

yup the permissions where wrong i think... im getting this error now not sure how to solve this.

/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `CXXABI_ARM_1.3.3' not found (required by ./zod)
