Diablo 1 ported to PI

@roslof Uh, yeah, about that, sorry! It was late yesterday evening and I typed from mind. it is of course /usr/share/fonts/truetype/and not /usr/share/fonts/ttf/ I just quickly checked that on my retropie.

Glad, it works for you now.

Disclaimer: noob trying to get this to work.

My thought was that if I copied the .sh file to my Ports Scriptmodule directory, then Retropie-Setup would see it and then when I looked into the details in that menu, that would direct me as to where to put the Diablo game files before running this.

RetroPie-Setup won't even load if I put the .sh file in the directory, so that isn't the way forward. How do I run the .sh? Sorry for asking questions that may appear obvious.

Everything you need to know is on the front page of the repo. If you are having problems with RetroPie-Setup, it's not caused by my .sh file which is working fine here with RetroPie-Setup.

I am not criticising your .sh at all! I am sure this is my fault. I've had a look at the repo but I still don't really know what I'm doing (although I see it tells me where to put the data file).

I get the following:

/home/pi/Retropie-Setup/scriptmodules/ports/devilutionx.sh: line 6: syntax error near unexpected token "newline"
/home/pi/Retropie-Setup/scriptmodules/ports/devilutionx.sh: line 6: '<DOCTYPE.html>'

You need to follow the instructions on the front page of the repository.

Once I worked out where the front page was this wasn't too bad, your instructions are very clear and I can see why you get frustrated.

I also had to perform the font steps mentioned above, but now it runs perfectly. Thank you, and apologies again!

zerojay · 9 Jun 2021, 11:07

I'll add the font stuff in. Obviously there must be something different between our machines causing this, but if it won't harm things on my end, I'll add it in to make things more convenient for everyone. Likely will update tonight.

rsaurer · 9 Oct 2020, 21:30

does it work with your script on pi 3b+?
what steps for install after install standard retropie?

many thanks!

I build and test each release on a pi 3b+. I don't know anything about retropi though so can't help with that part. I would have expected it to be able to find installed application so if you install via the .deb it might work with out you haveing to do anything special.

We just released a new verison 6 days ago with widescreen support amonst many other improvments.

Have fun.

pjmcphizzle · 23 Mar 2021, 20:55

Sorry if this topic is too old, but I feel like it would be more tidy to keep things in one topic rather than create a new one.

I'm having an issue installing this on my Pi 4. RetroPie-Setup script says version 4.7.11, last commit 2 days ago, so I'm nice and updated.

Anyways, here is the end portion of the log file after compiling fails:

Thanks in advance to anyone that can help me out.

ExarKunIv · 23 Mar 2021, 21:20

@pjmcphizzle i was just messing with that this moring

the install script is now wrong. the devs for the diablo port changed things up.

i updated mine after doing some tests
give it a shot and let me know

https://pastebin.com/6XZjdtg4

you will need to go in and replace all that it is in the install script thats on your pie with what is in the link.

if you dont know how. ill make a link on my Git page to install it tomorrow

pjmcphizzle · 23 Mar 2021, 21:57

@exarkuniv Thanks for the quick reply!

I was able to replace the script, and even made a slight change to rp_module_help just to make sure that I replaced the correct file, but I'm still not getting past 45%.

I may try again with a fresh image, but for now, I am defeated.

ExarKunIv · 24 Mar 2021, 12:52

@pjmcphizzle Sorry about that, i thought i got it.
im messing with it now. ill post a update once/if i get it.

UPDATE
i do see what is going on with the script. Now how to get it to play nice is something different, but they say knowing is half the battle. Guess we will see

UPDATE UPDATE
im asking one of the Devs for devilutionXfor somehelp on this as i still cant figure it out.
if you run the commands by hand it compiles just fine.
use the script and it fails. which has the same commands

~~so for now you can use the wiki page that show how to install it and what not~~

~~https://github.com/diasurgical/devilutionX/wiki/Retropie-Guide~~

~~this time i did test it and the guide works~~

ExarKunIv · 24 Mar 2021, 17:53

@pjmcphizzle try this

https://pastebin.com/0xu9d4K4

i have it working for me now

Riverstorm · 25 Mar 2021, 19:05

@exarkuniv - Thanks for updating the script for such a classic game. I've been following along and decided to try and install Diablo with your latest script on an old stretch build in case things went south.

This is the error I receive during the build step, if it helps. I had to change the cmake_minimum_version from 3.13 to 3.7.2 or it would fail immediately or do I need a specific version for this to work?

@exarkuniv - Sorry, the Pi 3 is a mess of issues to get it working. I hooked up my Pi 4 and it worked on the first go. I also tested Hellfire and it seems to work fine too. The widescreen patch filled out the monitor and looks good. Thanks a bunch for the update!

ExarKunIv · 27 Mar 2021, 05:00

@riverstorm glad that you got it to work. I only have my Pi4 hooked so that's all I can play with. So I did not think about messing with my pi3

I think the pi3 could work but you would have to manually install a higher version of cmake.

It can be done. I have done it when I was trying to get the duke nukem 2 port to work.

pjmcphizzle · 29 Mar 2021, 21:43

@exarkuniv Thanks so much! I finally got it to compile! I ended up having the font issue others had, but once I moved the font to the truetype folder, all is good :D

ecto · 9 Jun 2021, 11:07

@zerojay Hi, I just wanted to report, that your scriptmodule isn't working anymore (for me at last). I searched around a little and I was able to compile again when I changed-DBINARY_RELEASE=ON to -DVERSION_NUM=1.2.0 in the cmake options of your scriptmodule.
The problem is described here and probably an easy fix.

I think it would be best to compile the masterbranch, but so far I coudn't figure out, how ^_^;

ExarKunIv · 9 Jun 2021, 12:52

@ecto so it changed again, lol. yes getting it to use master would be better, but even when i ask them on github a few months back i was told to do it the same way you found.
just at the time it was a version 1.1.0.

i think for now this is what we need to do.
