Note for Raspberry Pi users:

Known bugs and how to solve them.

1. Game Serious Sam The Second Encounter freeze on the splash screen when you select New Game in the menu. The solution is to edit or create a new

~/.local/share/Serious-Engine/serioussamse/Scripts/Game_startup.ini

file with the line

sam_strFirstLevel = "Levels\\LevelsMP\\1_1_Palenque.wld;

2. Modification of Serios Sam Alpha Remake freeze on the splash screen at startup. The solution is to edit or create a new

~/.local/share/Serious-Engine/serioussam/Mods/SSA/Scripts/Mod_startup.ini

file with the line

sam_strIntroLevel = "";

Location of game data, user data, and data modifications.

These packages use the paths:

~/.local/share/Serious-Engine/serioussam/ - for TFE
~/.local/share/Serious-Engine/serioussamse/ - for TSE

Mod Data:

~/.local/share/Serious-Engine/serioussam/Mods/"Mod name" - for TFE
~/.local/share/Serious-Engine/serioussamse/Mods/"Mod name" - for TSE

User data, such as game settings, log, saves, demos will be located in:

~/.local/share/Serious-Engine/serioussam/ - for TFE
~/.local/share/Serious-Engine/serioussamse/ - for TSE

Game resources.

To start the game, you'll need the original resurces of a licensed copy of Serious Sam: The First Encounter and Serious Sam: The Second Encounter.

Steam version.

If you have a digital copy of the game on Steam then the resources can be found in ~/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Serious Sam Classic The Second Encounter/ (the default Steam game installation directory on Linux).

rsync --progress -rh "$HOME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Serious Sam Classic The First Encounter/" "$HOME/.local/share/Serious-Engine/serioussam"
rsync --progress -rh "$HOME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Serious Sam Classic The Second Encounter/" "$HOME/.local/share/Serious-Engine/serioussamse"

GOG version.

If you bought a digital on GOG, you can unpack the resources with the innoextract CLI tool. To install innoextract via your package manager, run:

sudo apt-get install innoextract

Copy files "setup_serious_sam_the_first_encounter_2.0.0.10.exe" and "setup_serious_sam_the_second_encounter_2.1.0.8.exe" to a home directory and run the following commands:

cd ~/.
innoextract --gog setup_serious_sam_the_first_encounter_2.0.0.10.exe
cp -vfr "app/"{*.gro,Levels,Help} ~/.local/share/Serious-Engine/serioussam
rm setup_serious_sam_the_first_encounter_2.0.0.10.exe
rm -rf app
rm -rf tmp
innoextract --gog setup_serious_sam_the_second_encounter_2.1.0.8.exe
cp -vfr "app/"{*.gro,Levels,Help} ~/.local/share/Serious-Engine/serioussamse
rm setup_serious_sam_the_first_encounter_2.0.0.10.exe
rm -rf app
rm -rf tmp
rm -rf commonappdata

Physical version.

If you bought a physical copy of the game and you have an ISO of your disk, you can unpack the resources with the any archive manager. Game resources are located in the Install directory of the disk. Just copy all the *.gro files from there, as well as the Levels directory to directories ~/.local/share/Serious-Engine/serioussam and ~/.local/share/Serious-Engine/serioussamse, respectively, for games Serious Sam: The First Encounter and Serious Sam: The Second Encounter.
