This was a difficult work-around to only having the option to play the game from $CWD containing game files. Its been a bit since I was looking into this, but maybe we can just add some hard-coded paths (or soft-coded, via SUBST_CMD on src files?) to not need the config file at all... > > > > I don't have the steam version but will look into it. > > I was following the > 'You must then tell strife-ve how to access the enhanced music' > step in the readme. > > > > > > With the videos the audio crackles for some reason. > > > > Hmm...

I did try for this a bit when I saw Brian had put this on openbsd-wip, since I also had my own copy for awhile. However, Brian pointed out the extra files coming with the Veterans Edition of the game might add a bit of fluff to /usr/local/share/doom, which is the standard DOOMWADDIR location for all the doom ports in tree presently. Perhaps there is a way, by adding some paths ourselves as I mentioned above, that we could end up with the best of both worlds? -ryan > > > > > ~Brian > > > > > > --- > > > > pkg/DESCR: > > > > strife-ve is the GPL Source Release of The Original Strife: Veteran > > > > Edition.
