GemRB

GemRB 0.8.8-0 SDL1 - AROS abiv11

This is the first version of GemRB for AROS you may experience bugs and crashes,
please save a lot, thanks for your patience and understanding

You *MUST* have the original "classic" game files, Enhanced Editions are not yet
supported!

It's advisable to install the game on another platform (Windows/Linux) and/or
(if already installed) copy all the content to the sub directories in GemRB
drawer (eg. GemRB/bg1)

The "GemRB/gamename" directory should contain a directory named "data"
containing the .bif files
if you dont' have it, like in case of Planescape Torment, copy all the CD files
to a newely created "data" directory

If you just need to try the engine you can find BG1 and/or demo on the internet
Finishing the demo will crash the engine as it does expect the additionals game
files.

Mods are supported you can install them on windows or linux, there can be some
bugs though.


You can start a game using shell with gemrb -c config_file_name.cfg or one of
the provided launchers
