Whew. Deicide4u- yes, youre not kidding! Zyli- thank you again. thats a lot of work! I started with the second method and could not get it to play even though it would load fully to the into screen. So I started from scratch again using the 1st method. I had a lot of the dependency files already downloaded but went thru your instructions exactly anyway. I kept getting dependency errors even though a few were fully downloaded and installed. Ken Wood v.23 fully loads and plays. Everything is installed in my working every day version of Mint 22.2 (not 3) Cinnamon. After a great deal of experimentation I was finally able to get all my customized scenarios and skirmishes transferred from the existing working version in Mint 20.3 It works! I would call this successful, but I now do not have the scenario editor. Error message states it failed to load or is not available. Check the logs. Ive checked the logs and see no reason why. Ive used the scenario editor extensively thru the years and even though it has always been buggy, It worked and served its purpose. So I will just go slow and keep trying to fix this next problem. There is a lot of help work and discussion in this thread. I hope it helps others as well and address a lot of these issues. BTW- again this is used in my new build- A Ryzen 9700x in a Asus B850-i, which is wreaking havoc, as usual, in the Mint communities.

Im still fighting with the Debian 11 live install onto another usb thumb drive... I run Linux Mint 22.2 permanently on a great SSD. Yes, please step me thru exactly how you got 0.0.23.1 installed on your Mint 22.3 beta. Cave stultum qui frustra conatur neque silvam propter arbores videre potest

Most of the scenarios and skirmishes are larger than the 5mb u/l limit here.

Zyli- thanks again for all your work. Simply youre saying running 0AD in your Franken version ONLY from a live usb Mint boot?!? The debain wiki link is detailed and and way over my head.. For now, if Im doing this right, Im uploading a few of the skirmishes and scenarios Gonndosalv. Is this what you wanted? They are just mainly edited renamed w/ lots of treasure gaia. 415542089_TwoSeas(6).pmp Two Seas (6).xml

Wow. I most certainly appreciate all the work and responses in this post. Thank you. But I feel like Im back to square 1 (start) and dont know what I should try that will actually work. -The Debian Bullseye is just that isnt it? Using Bullseye to compile and try and get a working .deb that will work in Mint 22.2. But Mint (the cinnamon version I use) is Ubuntu. Why wouldnt you use a Live USB of 22.2 that is Ubuntu based? - I still dont get why I cant get Wildfire to merely state WHERE the original Ken Wood v23 is that was uploaded to the Mint repositories already in a complied .deb format. If I run these commands in the terminal it will install the latest v. 0AD only apt-get update apt-get install 0ad

As feared this is turning into a nightmare fast. Ive tried a wine/proton version before. This is a big difference when playing a windows version thru wine/Crossover etc vs a installed version in Linux. Appimage also. Not good. I have dozens of customized scenarios/skirmishes. Again the compile option(s) ARE too hard and a mess to do. The build instructions in the link start by focusing on all the packages and additional software you need to even consider compiling in Linux, and its ridiculous as the Windows versions are completed in the basic .exe install packages where anything Linux are raw and have to go thru the compile nightmare. Obviously previous Linux (Mint) versions of 0AD pumped into all the Linux Mint repositories were completed in a .deb format, and now are no where to be found. Just for FYI- my current install is in the outdated Mint 20.3. Ive even taken a good image of the entire install, placed on a new SSD on the new PC build, and it, of course will not work as the drivers built in the 20.3 kernels are outdated and do not work with new CPU and chipsets.. Doesnt matter if you 'forcibly' and manually install and try any of the new kernels in 20.3, same result.

I have played this version almost daily for what seems like a decade. My scenarios and skirmishes (single player mode only) are somewhat modified and ONLY work w/ v23 Ken Wood. Have tried many times installing a new or latest version for Linux thru the Mint repositories and moving the maps etc to new version. Never works. I have searched and read here and everywhere else for almost a year merely trying to find the Ken Wood v23 in a Ubuntu .deb package to install on a new PC build. Running Mint 22.2 now the repos and everywhere else only have the latest 0AD versions, or the tar gz versions that I have no idea how to "compile" or install. Even tried a Debian version that of course will not work in Mint 22.2. Finally decided to ask for help and need a good Linux pro. Thanks
