Requirements:
· version 1.4.1 or later of the Java Runtime Environment
· version 2.1.1 of the Java Media Framework (sound and animations)
· a Xerxes 1 or 2 installation (XML support)
INSTALLATION:
1) Create a working directory like
/home/lorenz/spaceopera/
2) Store the SpaceOpera.jar and the SpaceOpera_Resources.jar
files in this working directory.
Unpack the SpaceOpera_Resources.jar file. This will produce the
following subdirectories:
· animations
· effects
· images
· music
Run the Space Opera from the jar-file:
1) The java command does not resolve the classpath completely when running a jar-file, therefore you must copy the JMF and Xerces Libraries to a special directory:
1a) Create a subdirectory, e.g. homelorenzspaceoperaext
1b) Copy the following files to this directory.
xercesImpl.jar
customizer.jar
jmf.jar
mediaplayer.jar
multiplayer.jar
sound.jar
2) Enter the following command:
java -jar SpaceOpera.jar (with JRE 1.4 +)
This will run the game. Enjoy!
