Diablo 1 ported to PI

I feel like I'm so close to getting this correct.

I did the ./install-extras.sh

It takes me to the menu prompts and I find my way to devilutionx but greeted with that last screenshot.

I really thought I got your instructions right.

I can't think of the error I made.

Even did a reboot.

Press Space to "select" one or more scripts before you press Enter to copy all of the selections.

Using PuTTY on PC, the SPACE bar functions the same as an Enter key.

No difference was seen doing that.

@Addison you still have a old install script
I know this because you I see '''CharisSILB.ttf''' in your log
That script was changed over a year ago

That file is no longer needed now and even when I was using version 1.3.0 it was not needed

I don't know what to tell you here. I'm not familiar with PuTTY. Using Termius on iOS, or with a keyboard plugged in the RPi itself, Space selects and de-selects an option:

...and then Enter acts upon the selected options:

...

cp: cannot stat '/home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/devilutionx/CharisSILB.ttf': No such file or directory

This still looks like the old deleted scriptmodule version. You will either need to work out how to select the module(s) to be installed, or you can use the -a option with the new installer script to add all of the Extra modules at once:

./install-extras.sh -a

This post is deleted!

I followed Mitu's suggestion:

cd
mv RetroPie-Setup RetroPie-Setup.old
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup.git

"You can then follow the installation instructions for @ExarKunIv's extra repository."

So.....

./install-extras.sh

This time I was in the menu system for Retropie Extras and not Retropie Setup.

From there, the SPACE key worked correctly. :)

Left that menu and went back to Retropie Setup and it's currently building from source.

Joy!

Sorry for being so difficult.

Addison

Last question though.

Can I change the save file location?

On my Pi 4s I have everything stored in /home/pi/RetroPie/saves

I use Rclone to sync these with my many devices.

Would be nice if I could do that as well with Diablo.

The Diablo.ini file only seems to be used for custom commands in chat.

ExarKunIv

@Addison

the saves are in /opt/retropie/configs/ports/devilutionx

but you can edit the emulators.cfg file in

/opt/retropie/configs/ports/devilutionx

and just change where the save goes since thats how i told it to save in the config folder

the Diablo.ini is the config file for devilutionX
there you can do a bunch of things,

Adding on to this: if you merely alter the devilutionx entry that's already there, you risk it being overwritten and reverted back if you ever update or reinstall the port.

Instead, I would make a duplicate devilutionx-custom entry, and set the default line to use that also. Then the "regular" version can get overwritten all you want, and it won't matter at all.

Addison

Thank you!
