Bug#1065102: RFS: serioussam/1.10.6d+dfsg-1 [ITP] -- open source first person shooter developed by Croteam

[Alexander Pavlov]

Dear mentors.

I rewrote Debian patches to support the content of the demo version of
the game. The engine now supports the content of the demo version of
the game. When the game starts, the engine determines the installed
game content, and if it finds content from the demo version,
it turns on the mode for using the demo version of the content.


This allows games to be tested by anyone who does not have a copy
of the original game. A demo version of the game can be obtained
from many places.The most convenient way is to download using the
wget from the WebArchive. To install content from the demo version
of the game, open a terminal and run the following commands:

sudo apt install p7zip

wget https://archive.org/download/SeriousSamDemo/SeriousSamDemo.exe
wget
https://archive.org/download/SeriousSamPatches/serioussampatch105_usa.exe
7z x SeriousSamDemo.exe
7z x -y serioussampatch105_usa.exe
mkdir ~/.serioussam
cp -ax Disk1/* ~/.serioussam
rm -fr Disk1

wget https://archive.org/download/serioussamsedemo/SeriousSamSEDemo.exe
wget
https://archive.org/download/SeriousSamPatches/secondencounterpatch107_usa.exe
7z x SeriousSamSEDemo.exe
7z x -y secondencounterpatch107_usa.exe
mkdir ~/.serioussamse
cp -ax Disk1/* ~/.serioussamse
rm -fr Disk1

When you first launch the game, goto Menu -> Options -> Execute Addons
and select the default option. The demo version uses old settings scripts.
New ones you can take here: https://github.com/tx00100xt/SeriousSamClassic
Just rewrite the Scripts directory replacing the files.

I also added how to install the content of the demo version of the game
in README.Debian, README.source and manpages.

Best Regards,
Alexander Pavlov.

This package alone isn't of any use; it only contains the game engine,
an engine that has no Free data and therefore is in contrib.
You will need a copy of the original game for this package to be
useful.
