if you have armyops installed you simply have to change to your folder e.g. cd /usr/local/games/armyops. Then you have to execute it like this: ./armyops

do you have armyops installed?

what directory do you have created?

After i downloaded armyops-2.2.1 for linux i simply made it executeable with:

chmod u+x armyops-lnx-2.2.1.sh (i don't know the exact name at all)

executed the file as root with:

./armyops-lnx-2.2.1.sh

changed to the folder i had it installed and finally executed it with:

./armyops

Yeah i ran sh /aainstalltion/ and i got into the gui installer, i installed it to the directory

file:/home/Steven/Program Files/Americas Army

Quis · 12-22-2004, 05:30 AM

ok, now simply type:

cd /home/Steven/Program\ Files/Americas\ Army

and run:

./armyops

p.s.: i do not recommend to use "whitespaces" in folder or filenames. Maybe it is a good idea to change the whitespace to an underscore ( " " -> "_" )

DesyphER · 12-22-2004, 05:40 AM

umm it says directory not found..

DesyphER · 12-22-2004, 05:55 AM

but the directory im putting is write.. il reinstall to the games directory you mentioned above?

it should also work in your current folder. you don't have to reinstall it.

check out your folder name if you try to change you current path and also try you auto-completion with the [TAB]-Key

cd /home/Steven/Program\ Files/Americas\ Army

I have no clue, sorry

more easy words please, thanx

When I installed it (mandrake 10.0), I just had to type: "armyops" in the terminal and it started (without the "")...

Have you installed the drivers for your gfx?

DesyphER · 12-22-2004, 07:01 AM

umm yeah i ran the driver file in console, and yeah i think it's installed how can i check to make sure the write driver is installed?

DesyphER · 12-22-2004, 07:38 AM

okay, i'm gonna go back to windoze now temporarily untill i can find out how to get americas army working.

Well cya soon, and fanx to the guys the helped.

art3mis · 12-22-2004, 10:38 AM
