digman Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Will the Linux Leadwerks 3.1 version will be packaged up in a "deb" file which when double clicked opens up the Ubuntu Software Center and then you just click "install" "Or" The tar.gz file method where after unzipping it creates a folder and you are ready to run the program. 3DCoat uses this method for it's Linux version. I am using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS which is stated to be the distro that Leadwerks 3.1 is developed on. Just curious... EDIT: I forgot to mention that the question was for the Standard version...

Rick Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Isn't it going to just available on Steam? At least to start with I thought that was the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codeape Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 LE 3.1 will not be steam only. Josh is targeting Ubuntu so It will probably be distributed as deb ... hopefully there will be a tar archive also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilitaryG Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I believe it's going to be in Tar.gz just like any other software that's not supported by distribution. And you'll have to build it manually. I'm not sure but I think you'll need to build in root. Well if that will be option I'll try to build it in root and guest as I'm wandering to what system files it does need access to change, ... Either in guest it'll crash OR nothing will happen when I'll give a certain command, ... BUT I would be pretty much amaized if it would be in reporsitory. - that's where you can only install with root, and there's automatization for build.

xtreampb Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 i'm pretty sure it is going to be distributed as a DLC on steam. Just like it is on windows. From what I understand steam will launch the editor and from there you and create a C++ project from the project manager. Edit the C++ source code using Code::Blocks.

I hope the above is not true as I bought the standard $199.00 "3.1 version of Leadwerks". I have no need at the present time to install steam on my Linux machine and I did not see in the pre-order that the upcoming Standard Linux version would be a Steam version only... Ok, It looks like question was answered in this thread... http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/topic/8974-is-membership-of-steam-now-a-prerequisite-for-leadwerks/ The reason I do not need steam is I am only creating assets for a developer as I am not a programmer myself and just need to be able to launch the game to be able to view the assets inside the game... Please do not take this as I am against using Steam,at the present time it's just not needed, this can always change of course... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Aria is working on the .deb package now and I am doing final testing. It will be available on the Ubuntu Software Center, Steam, and Leadwerks.com. If you bought a pre-order, you can choose to receive a Steam key if you prefer, but that is not required. 1 Quote My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without.
