Must have XXIII(23) Ken Wood Linux only

[NewWorldHero]

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

The easiest would probably be using the windows binary with wine / proton. You might see a warning at the start tho as wine doesn't support numa and as such the hardware detection will fail. Just click continue in that case.

How many scenarios do you have?

Hello, you mentioned that you don't know how to compile, but that may be the only option if you want Linux native older 0 A. D. And it's not too hard to do. 

First, get the a23b tar source and data archives from this link:

https://releases.wildfiregames.com/

Then, follow the build instructions for Linux on this page:

https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/wiki/BuildInstructions

Obviously, instead of the latest source and data archives, you would use the a23b ones.

Good backup practices apply before compiling any large software from source.

There is an A23b appimage that might work too.
