HELP installing simutrans 102.2

[il pepe]

How do i correctly install this game?
I had 102 of something from te resipartory's, but the versions gives problem with saving and loading.
So i deleted the simutrans version. and i unzipped the new version in the same directory as the old version.
But the thing doesn't work.

Any help?

More info is needed.

I hope you didn't replaced the repo. files of simtrans by ectracting the new downloaded version from http://www.simutrans.com/download.htm#Simutrans_Complete . You can't do that.

If that is not the case, you have to describe what you did more detailed, eventually with terminal in/output.

I also had trouble at first...
There is no installer.


After downloading and extracting the file mentioned above

Go into the extracted simutrans directory

Right click "simutrans"

Goto "properties"

Goto the "Permissions" tab

Check "Allow executing file as program"

Now click on "simutrans"

Looking for the solution on this, i found a good way to do it, while keeping a menu icon in it. First, use the following

sudo aptitude install simutrans

so that you get all of the files for simutrans. next, download the zip file, and then open a root nautilus using alt>f2, then type

gksu nautilus /home/<username>/

copy the zip file from where it's downloaded to /usr/share/games/ and the zip file should make a subfolder called simutrans (or maybe simutrans(2))

If it makes a simutrans(2), just copy what is in simutrans(2) into the original

Next, open a terminal in root mode, by using alt>f2, then typing

gksu gnome-terminal

Use the following command to delete the executable from /usr/games and make a symbolic link to the newer executable.

cd /usr/games && remove simutrans && ln -s /usr/share/games/simutrans/simutrans ./simutrans

Now, whenever you want to install a new nightly, extract the new files into /usr/share/games like in the previous steps
