Installation Instructions
General Information
This section contains installation instructions for the base games as well as various mods. You can follow the steps manually or use one of the provided Lutris installation scripts.
Important
These scripts can be used as-is but I highly recommend adapting them to your liking. Especially in terms of functional mods which add a lot of quality of life features. In some cases I also added texture packs which may not be to your liking so it’s generally a good idea to at least skim through to see what a script does before you use it. All scripts are editable so you can change them and delete stuff or copy in other stuff before savin them to a file on your machine.
To use a script, copy its content into a file with a .yaml file ending. Then open up Lutris, press the button to
add a new game, select Install from a local install script, in the opening window, select Browse... and select
the script you just saved.
Caution
In contrast to Windows, file paths in Linux are case sensitive! Whenever you handle any paths in a script, double-check that all paths are spelled correctly, including capitalization, otherwise you will end up with unexpected results that will probably just looks like whatever you tried to do didn’t work.
Note
The scripts will install German versions of mods, if available, by default. If you prefer a different language you need to provide the respective executable files yourself.
Note
The scripts assume that the GOG version of the game is used. If you don’t have this version, you will need to adapt them accordingly.
Warning
If you link Lutris to your GOG account, the scripts will download the game from GOG by default. It will try to choose a language matching your locale. If this is not what you want (as is the case with me), I recommend you unlink your GOG account from Lutris, download the game version of your choice and provide it to the installer by hand when prompted. If you try this with your GOG account still linked, the installation won’t work for reasons I don’t understand.
