so here's where i'm at. i just got a brand new computer with ubuntu on it. i have next to no experience with linux, but i'm a fast learner. i just downloaded world of padman v1.5 for linux/windows. i have NO FUCKING CLUE what to do or how to install the game. from my end, it's a zip file full of a bunch of files that ubuntu seemingly isn't recognizing, and i have no clue what to do with. and yes - i made sure to download the alleged "windows/linux" version. twice.

i'm at a loss, and i've tried searching online for some help but thus far am still at a loss.

also: one minor issue - the ubuntu computer currently does not have internet access, so i would prefer to be able to install and run the game without the need to download anything further onto the machine or requiring internet access to do so.

thanks much for any help you guys can give.

- extract the zip to where you want the game to be.
- open a terminal and navigate into that folder.
- execute the following command:

- then click on that file


Explanation:
The unified zip needs no "installation" it is ready to go from where ever you unzip to. The files are by default not executable when coming from the zip. So, "chmod +x the_file_here" makes this particular file executable for the current user. Then invoking it via ./wop.i386 or by clicking it in a desktop environment will run the file.

Advice:
Get the 1.5.1 hotfix to avoid crashing when hosting local games with bots and issues with the sad end of the graphics card scale.

Yep, Paul seems to have gotten it covered.
My only suggestion is that if you want World of Padman in your menu and package manager (where you manage software), you can add the Playdeb repository: http://www.playdeb.net/welcome/
It's full of great free games, WoP included. The web site has instructions on how to use it.
But that's with internet, so you can just do that whenever you can, if you want.

thank you all very very much! will try all of this tonight (:

I already did this but WOP didn't want to start on my Ubuntu 12.04. Then I click on that file nothing happened. WOP don't want to run from terminal too.

Omg! I was lame. Works well if I run wop.x86_64

The .x86_64 binaries are 64 bit, while the .i386 ones are 32 bit. You can use 32 bit binaries on a 64 bit multilib/multiarch system, but you might need to install a few 32 bit packages, which are distribution specific.
