[ SOLVED ] 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?

The first command in my post makes the downloaded file launchable. The second command launches it. Try the second command too.

It indicates you didn't press enter or any button combination that runs the command.

Assuming this is a fair shake, are you familiar with using these syntaxes? Because this tells me you have never used this before.

So when you say not working, i have to translate that as I don't understand, got it.

And as for your question: You can quite literally Google this, and else, try wget.

Or don't use Linux for Doom editing.

You don't download glibc, it is one of the base parts of your system. Your system's (ZorinOS 17.3) glibc is most likely too old for this AppImage. Updating to Zorin OS 18 might help.
