No Tutorial?

[Rob00]

I noticed there's a Tutorial in the menu, but when I click on it, nothing happens. Is there something wrong, or is there just no tutorial?

I read you use Ubuntu in another thread. It's a bug in the debian package:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glest/+bug/424968

A simple fix:
- go to http://sourceforge.net/projects/glest/files/ and get glest data for 3.2.1
- copy tuturials directory to /usr/share/games/glest/ (needs root)
- and probably change permission to install it correctly for all users

I'm not on Ubuntu nor Debian so i can't test it myself.

EDIT: There's a fixed package in Debian Sid.
http://packages.debian.org/sid/glest-data

I recommend making the "usr/share/games/glest" folder accessable by everyone, including other just so you can access it faster.

I recommand to install this http://www.liflg.org/?catid=6&gameid=87 in your user directory.

Its a game where you often install mods and so on and its not a good idea to copy all this into a place which is managed by the package system.

To fix this I had to get the missing files, put them into the correct place and tell Glest about them.

1 Get the missing files

You can download the latest glest-data files from SourceForge, or just do this :

$ cd ~
$ mkdir glestupdate
$ cd glestupdate
$ wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/glest/glest%20data/3.2.1/glest_data_3.2.1.zip?use_mirror=surfnet
$ unzip glest_data_3.2.1.zip

2 Put them in the right place

$ cd glest_game
$ sudo cp -r * /usr/share/games/glest/.

3 Tell Glest about them

$ sudo ln -s /usr/share/games/glest/tutorials ~/.config/glest/tutorials

I deleted the ~/glestupdate directory and Glest tutorials work now.
