Hello fellow Debian users, Ubuntu lovers and Mint freaks!

Here you’ll find scripts allowing you to build .deb packages from your MojoSetup (.sh) installer for Terraria. 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 page:
Terraria

I hope you’ll enjoy the ease-of-use provided by these scripts as much as I enjoy writing and tweaking them ;)

Here you go for more supported games!

Salut camarades Debianistes, Ubunteros et fanas de Linux Mint !

Vous trouverez ici des scripts vous permettant de construire des paquets .deb à partir de votre installeur MojoSetup (.sh) pour Terraria. Vous pouvez les installer via DPKG et les supprimer via n’importe quelle interface à APT (apt-get, aptitude, synaptic, etc.).

Les liens de télechargement et les instructions d’utilisation se trouvent sur la page suivante :

J’espère que vous apprécierez le confort apporté par ces scripts autant que j’apprécie les écrire et les améliorer ;)

Pour plus de jeux supportés, ça se passe par ici !

It's a work in progress.

mortalius is ./play.it’s Terraria specialist: he’s the one to blame when a new version is late, and the one to thank for the creation and updates of this script ;)

Hello! Thank you for this. I was wondering if you have a preferred method of injecting dependencies into script. I've never done that and I'm not afraid of Google however a quick Google search instantly and consistently referred me to a pay to play NPM site. I am both a novice and thrifty so I was wondering if anyone had any advice?

O.K. Thank you again for this script and I've read more and I will learn to do this by doing but I do have a question. Is it possible to install onto Raspberry Pi 2 or 3? I have ubuntu-mate-16.04-desktop-armhf-raspberry-pi.img but of course could retrieve whatever version I may need. I'm not sure that anyone is monitoring this forum but if someone is out there and could just offer some friendly advice for any of the aforementioned subjects I would appreciate it. Thanks again!

Hello ronopotomus,

- dependencies:
* There is a line (92 for terraria) into the script for include the dependencies:
PKG_DEPS='libglu1-mesa | libglu1, libxcursor1, libxrandr2'
Is a list of name of the required packages.

* In the gog packages, there is a directory with the dependencies:
data/noarch/game/lib{64}

- Install on raspberry-pi:
The raspberry is a arm cpu and the game is compiled for x86 cpu. Thus, i doubt that is possible.

Mortalius,

I thank you for your answer. I really appreciate the response. I fear that the dedicated Raspberry Pi Terraria console idea is dead because you are correct and on point due to the compiling of the game. I'm finding the same dead end with Starbound. I guess another Retro Pi or maybe a Doom machine may be in the works. I'm a Boy Scout leader readying winter projects for my boys that do not already have a instructable or a readily available youtube video to follow. Thank you again!
