|
+## Method 1 (easy way, directly in the bat)
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+*Use this method unless you have a specific reason not to*
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Tested by Osku on Ubuntu 22.04 (Wayland) on 2024-11-08
|
|
|
+Tested by Skytis on Kubuntu 24.04 LTS (x11) on 2024-11-08 with Proton 9.0-3
|
|
|
+Tested by Skytis on Kubuntu 24.10 (Wayland) (clean install) on 2024-11-08 with Proton Experimental
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Note: I've tried this previously with aciidz' assistance and couldn't get it to work. Osku tried this on 2024-11-08 and it worked. I tried it again the same day and it also worked for me. No idea why
|
|
|

|
|
|
+### Steps
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Acquire L4D2 2000 \[link to Discord/source\], unzip somewhere
|
|
|
+* Acquire LiveSplit, unzip somewhere
|
|
|
+* Edit the `Start L4D2.2000.bat` to add LiveSplit to it
|
|
|
+ * In my case there's a folder called "Games" which has the folders "L4D2 2.0.0.0" (this contains `Start L4D2.2000.bat`) and "livesplit" (this contains `LiveSplit.exe`)
|
|
|
+ * I added these lines (adjust according to your folder structure/LiveSplit location)
|
|
|
+ * `cd ..`
|
|
|
+ * `cd ..`
|
|
|
+ * `start livesplit\Livesplit.exe`
|
|
|
+* Add `Start L4D2.2000.bat` as Non-Steam game to Steam
|
|
|
+ * Add some other .exe then edit it to point to the .bat since you can't add the .bat directly
|
|
|
+* Under Compatibility force a specific compatibility tool select a Proton version (I used 9.0-3)
|
|
|
+* Launch the bat-Steam-game
|
|
|
+* Wait for the game and LiveSplit to start
|
|
|
+* Verify that SST works (check for the console output or see if sst commands can be autocompleted)
|
|
|
+ * If it crashes or SST doesn't work, use SST v0.5, newer versions don't work (or at least v0.8)
|

|
|
|
+* Configure LiveSplit and verify that it works
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+## Method 2 (complicated way, SteamTinkerLaunch)
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+*Use this method if method 2 doesn't work or if you know what you're doing and want to tinker with more stuff*
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Tested by Skytis on Kubuntu 24.04 LTS (x11) on 2024-11-02 with the latest versions of STL and pacstall available and proton-9.0-3c (via STL)
|

|
|
|
+### Steps
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Acquire L4D2 2000 \[link to Discord/source\], unzip somewhere
|
|
|
+* Acquire LiveSplit, unzip somewhere
|
|
|
+* Install SteamTinkerLaunch [https://github.com/sonic2kk/steamtinkerlaunch](https://github.com/sonic2kk/steamtinkerlaunch)
|
|
|
+ * It is not available via a native repository for (K)ubuntu. Install https://github.com/pacstall/pacstall and then run `pacstall -I steamtinkerlaunch-git`
|
|
|
+ * UPPER CASE i (for install), NOT LOWER CASE L
|
|
|
+* Add STL as compatibility tool [https://github.com/sonic2kk/steamtinkerlaunch/wiki/Steam-Compatibility-Tool](https://github.com/sonic2kk/steamtinkerlaunch/wiki/Steam-Compatibility-Tool)
|
|
|
+ * Should just need to run `steamtinkerlaunch compat add`
|
|
|
+ * Restart Steam
|
|
|
+* Add `Start L4D2.2000.bat` as Non-Steam game to Steam
|
|
|
+ * Add some other .exe then edit it to point to the .bat since you can't add the .bat directly
|
|
|
+* Under Compatibility force a specific compatibility tool: Steam Tinker Launch
|
|
|
+* Launch the bat-Steam-game
|
|
|
+* In the STL window click the `MAIN MENU` button (you have 2s to do this, then the game is automatically launched)
|
|
|
+* Click on `GAME MENU`
|
|
|
+* Turn on `Use custom command`
|
|
|
+* Custom command: Select your LiveSplit.exe
|
|
|
+* Enable `Fork custom command`
|
|
|
+* Disable `Use Steam Linux Runtime with Custom Command`
|
|
|
+* Enable `Inject custom command`
|
|
|
+* Click `SAVE AND PLAY`
|
|
|
+* Wait for the game and LiveSplit to start
|
|
|
+* Verify that SST works (check for the console output or see if sst commands can be autocompleted)
|
|
|
+ * If it crashes, use SST v0.5, newer versions don't work (or at least v0.8)
|
|
|
+ * [https://dl.mikes.software/sst/](https://dl.mikes.software/sst/)
|
|
|
+ * Place the .dll in the SST folder
|
|
|
+* Configure LiveSplit and verify that it works
|
|
|
+ * I had it already set up before from testing other stuff, so if weird stuff happens when configuring, maybe launch LiveSplit by itself to configure it
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Notes
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* If you quit the game first, LiveSplit freezes. You can just stop it via Steam
|
|
|
+* If you quit LiveSplit first, then the game, everything should properly be shut down
|
|
|
+* If you launch the bat-Steam-game and you don't get the STL launch dialog (where you can go to `MAIN MENU`), close LiveSplit and the game, then start `Steam Tinker Launch (Settings)` to edit stuff. It should have automatically selected the game you last launched (so the bat-Steam-game)
|
|
|
+* Fonts don't work correctly, so stuff looks a little weird
|
|
|
+* Sometimes LiveSplit doesn't start. No clue why
