againrom-install — download AgainROM and point it at your game folder

release

latest

Each package holds the starter, the game and the map editor. No game files, saves or settings.

AgainROM reads one game folder of your own copy, English or Russian. The folder is never written. A digital copy, for example from GOG, already has everything.

required	main.res graphics.res scenario.res world.res movies.res
sounds	sfx.res
voices	speech.res
music	Allods/MUSIC.RES
movies	Allods/VIDEO4.RES Allods/VIDEO8.RES

A missing optional file only turns its part off. A CD install leaves music and movies on the disc: copy MUSIC.RES, VIDEO4.RES and VIDEO8.RES from the disc's Allods folder into an Allods folder inside the game folder.

The second game's folder is added the same way; the starter recognises which game it holds.

Without Windows, unpack the GOG installer with innoextract; rom/app is then the game folder:

innoextract --include app -d rom setup_rage_of_mages_2.1.0.3.exe

1. Unpack the Windows zip into its own folder, for example C:\Games\againrom, not into the game folder.
2. Run starter.exe.
3. Under Base game, paste the game folder into Add path and press Add. The starter shows which release it found.
4. Press Play.

Neither game was released for macOS. Copy the game files from a Windows install or the CD into one folder, or unpack the GOG installer.

1. Take the arm64 zip for Apple Silicon, the amd64 zip for an Intel Mac. Unpack it into its own folder.
2. The builds are not notarized. For a download you trust, remove the quarantine in Terminal:

   xattr -d com.apple.quarantine againrom starter mapedit

3. Run ./starter, type the absolute path of the game folder under Base game, press Add, then Play.

Or start the game directly: ./againrom -assets "/path/to/game folder".

1. Take the AppImage or the tar.gz.
2. AppImage:

   chmod +x againrom-*-linux-x86_64.AppImage
   ./againrom-*-linux-x86_64.AppImage

   tar.gz: unpack it into its own folder and run ./starter.
3. Under Base game, browse to the game folder, press Add, then Play. The folder browser needs zenity or kdialog; without them, type the path.

display	X11 or XWayland; libGL, libX11, libXcursor, libXext, libXi, libXinerama, libXrandr, libXrender
sound	PulseAudio or PipeWire's PulseAudio service, else ALSA
profile	the AppImage keeps settings, mods and saves in ~/.config/Againrom

Saves are written in the original game's own format. LOAD also lists the saves the original made in its install folder, and they load. By default saves go to saves beside the game.

Open an issue with the release you use (English or Russian), what you did, and the save if the problem is in one.
