Hello fellow Debian users, Ubuntu lovers and Mint freaks!

Here you’ll find scripts allowing you to build .deb packages from your MojoSetup installers (.sh) for Baldur’s Gate & Baldur’s Gate 2 (classic versions & Enhanced Edition). You can install them through DPKG and remove them through any APT front-end (apt-get, aptitude, synaptic, etc.).

Download links and usage instructions can be found on the following pages:
Baldur's Gate
Baldur's Gate II

I hope you’ll enjoy the comfort provided by these scripts as much as I enjoy writing and tweaking them ;)

Here you go for more supported games!

Hello

I try to run BG2EE, so far your script enabled me to start it after installation. Something I wasn't able to with the simple .sh
Unforutnately the games resolutuion isn't right. Part of the game is offscreen while it does not run in full screen mode. Do you happen to have advice on how to configure the graphic settings?

Kind regards
Leif

I am sure I will appreciate this post once I switch to linux indefinitely.

Sadly I do not know about this bug and won’t be able to help you.
I suggest you open a dedicated topic in this sub-forum, so you might get some help more easily ;-)

----- The Light Side of the Software is ready to welcome you with open arms ;-)

If the game is running in windowed mode, you can change the size by resizing the window. The game will scale itself automatically.

I don't know why and how but today the resolution isn't offset anymore. I don't have about 5% of the left missing anymore. Thank's non the less and enjoy your games :)

One question remains, I'm playing the game for month but I would like to customize the installation path to e.g /opt/games. Is there a posibility to do that. Maybe a line in the script?

Thanks and regards Christian

I answered your question in the active thread ;)

This one I do not follow actively, but it's a good thing you posted in here as the links to the active thread were broken and I didn't notice it. It's now fixed.
