I have just downloaded a free game called 'Urban Terror'. I now have a lot of files and no idea what to do with them to get the game going. I have tried clicking on a good few of them but they don't start the game. In MS there is normally an instal icon but I don't see anything like that here.

Any pointers to what I should be looking for?

Often times there's a *.run (or *.sh) file. Open up a terminal, and assuming that you have the folder on your desktop type in:

cd ~/Desktop && ls -la

If you have a *.run (or *.sh) file, it will be displayed in the terminal and also tell you if you have the necessary permissions to install it. If you do, simply issue a

sudo ./*.run

where * is the file name.

If you have issues, post those results in this thread and I'll help you from there.

I'm sorry but I don't even know where the terminal window is. I can find it in Ubuntu but not in Xandros. Could it be 'Console Window'?

I have attached a screen shot of the game files in case it might help.

I know that the "ioUrbanTerror.i386" is usually an executable, so I found this on Urban Terror's website:

Just unzip the zip and make a shortcut to the ioUrbanTerror executable.

Mac executable: ioUrbanTerror.app

Linux 32bits executable: ioUrbanTerror.i386

Linux 64bits executable: ioUrbanTerror.x86_64

In linux, you need to make it executable first: right click it, properties and tick the 'allow execution' box.
