        @exarkuniv yes I was able to run it with pretty good performance using XINIT like we did for some of the other ports.

          Next, change directories to the OpenRA directory where the source files are and run:

          make dependencies
          

          Then run:

          make all
          

          thats great to hear. i did try but i got a little lost at this part.

          so do you mean just the OpenRA folder or do i need to go a little deeper then that. i did try it at OpenRA and it just gave me a error about not finding dependencies

            @exarkuniv you should just have to navigate to where the openra source files are and run those two commands. It's been a while since I've done it though so I'm not 100% sure.

                @quicksilver ok i got it working. i think some dependencies did not install the first time i tried

                so my question is for making the .sh scripts

                what part of what you have listed do i need to change to launch the games?

                i dont know what part of your scripts is the path to the game files
                sorry

                        @retropi19 in game there should be resolution settings. May have to set it to windowed mode or something too. I can't remember off the top of my head what the ideal settings are. When I have a chance I can boot up the game and see what settings I was using.
