Stalker Call of Pripyat is easy to run on Linux. This is due to the new OpenXray engine available for Windows and Linux. I managed to finally build this on Ubuntu 18.04 with gcc-8.
Firstly, download and install the required source code.
4.4 Wed Aug 28 jason@Yog-Sothoth 0: $ git clone https://github.com/OpenXRay/xray-16.git --recurse-submodules |
Then cd into the xray-16 folder and create a folder “bin”. Then cd into the bin folder and run this command to build the source.
4.4 Wed Aug 28 jason@Yog-Sothoth 0: $ cmake -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=gcc-8 -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=g++-8 .. |
Then the source code will be built successfully on Linux.
Once this has completed, run this command to build a deb package to install on your system. This will take a while, so be patient.
4.4 Wed Aug 28 jason@Yog-Sothoth 0: $ make package |
This package may then be installed easily.
4.4 Wed Aug 28 jason@Yog-Sothoth 0: $ sudo dpkg -i openxray_1.6.02_amd64.deb |
I tried to run Clear Sky with this binary, and it did not work, so stick with Call of Pripyat for Linux Stalking action.
Put all game files in the ~/.local/share/GSC/SCOP/ folder to allow the game to run. Once this is installed, run the xr_3da command to start the game. Ensure that your version of Call of Pripyat is version: 1.6.02. This will run as stable as possible. The only annoyance is that screenshots are not saved with save games. But as long as the game works, it is fine. I am not sure if Misery would work with this engine. Only know if you try.
Decompile stalker maps.
