Xonotic 0.8.6 in Installer-SH format - chimbal - 06-23-2026
Hello, I liked the game Xonotic, so I created an installation package for it in Installer-SH format. I'd like to hear your opinion about this installation package and the software distribution format.
The package contains the original Xonotic v0.8.6 game, the NetRadiant map editor, the Mapping Support package, and the source code. Since the Installer-SH format technically allows this, I also added several libraries not mentioned in the NetRadiant system requirements to ensure the editor runs smoothly on the tested Linux distributions.
The game and editor have been successfully tested on Chimbalix 24.8, Debian 11, Fedora 32, Manjaro 20, and openSUSE Leap 15.5. There's also a video showing the installation and launch of the game in Installer-SH format: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4A4tKVKBPYs
The installation package size is 1.2 GiB. Users can also manually unzip the archives in the "installer_data" directory to obtain the game files without installation. Link to the installation package: https://github.com/Shedou/Chimbalix-Software-Catalog/releases/tag/xonotic086
