Yeah so I thought it would be cool to see if there's more then just me playing on linux platform.

I'll be editing this first post with the bugs/error messages I get while playing.

1. When installed from the repository on https://redmoonstudios.org/~aszlig/toribash/debian/ , the game makes a neat shortcut under gnome menu, but the launcher doesn't do anything, you have to run the game from terminal.

2. THIS IS FIXED IN THE LATEST BUILD, DON'T FOLLOW THIS ANYMORE! the auto-updater doesn't work, new mods aren't installed in the right place. There's a temporary fix for this. Run this command, it removes all symlinks from ~/.toribash:

for i in ~/.toribash/*; do [ -L "$i" ] && unlink "$i"; done;

3. settings arent saved between session, so restarting your game means reset settings.
ALSO FIXED IN THE LATEST BUILD, FOUND IN http://linux.toribash.com/apt.html

I've always found it easier, to install the package to get all the dependencies...

then get the files separately and shove them in a folder somewhere and play it from there, everything works fine then.

but yeah, the current deb package kind of sucks... but hell, at least we got it right

Wut?
Installing the .deb -package from a repository automagically installs the dependecies, doesn't it? What I mean with the auto-updater, is that I have for some reason ~/custom and ~/data, AND ~/.toribash/custom and ~/.toribash/data , which isn't the way it should be afaik.

EDIT: and I don't think the .deb package sucks, it rocks and you guys are doing a good job in there! \o/

I have two problems, and I bet they are related. The first probably has to do with the auto-updater not getting mods, but even when I download the mods myself and put them in the right place (with the correct credentials, I am fairly sure) they don't show up in the game anyway.

The second is that my config file doesn't save between sessions, right now I have to go in and set shaders to 1 every single time I open the game, it's somewhat annoying.

Should be noted I've gotten the game from the repositories.

Yeah I have the problem with settings too, and fwiffo (the linux-version maintainer) knows about it too.

How about the mod problems? I can't play dualpistols.

Yeah it's a known bug, but I heard it should've been fixed already, all you have to do is to wait for toribash to download the updates. I'm not sure "where" you should wait, in the lobby or in the server that has the desired mod enabled or what though... Have you updated already to the latest version in the repository?

Update your stuff. http://linux.toribash.com

Will do as soon as I get back home from work.
I guess a simple dist-upgrade will do the trick.

EDIT: well there's no update since yesterday, when I last updated.

Alright, so the problem with the mods can be solved without an update.
The problem is that there are symbolic links to wrong places in the directory, and they need to be removed. Fwiffo gave me a nice script for this yesterday, and I'll post it here as soon as I get home.

For those who know how to do it, simply remove _all_ symbolic links from ~/.toribash and you'll get your mods working.
