Doom Editing on Linux

Post by Theo »

Since SLADE3 no longer supports Linux/Unix natively, what programs shall be used instead?

Huh? What do you mean "no longer supports Linux natively"? I don't see anything saying that on the SLADE site, the forum thread here, or the Github repository.

Recent releases of Slade have AppImage packages, try them.

To run an AppImage, do this in console, in the directory where you put the downloaded AppImage:

Code: Select all

chmod a+x SLADE.AppImage

Code: Select all

./SLADE.AppImage

If you're OK with the command line and package manager, you can also get SLADE from DRDTeam; they build nightly builds from SLADE's GitHub and also offer a release repository.

Yeah you know what may be helpful - Explain what you did. Just saying it doesn't work after previously saying SLADE isn't under Linux anymore (Which is blatantly false) doesn't help people who want to help. So please, what did you do?
