Great retro game and one of the most influential early Chinese RPGs
Thanks for adding it!
I'll leave the commit here for reference: fe15e053eb
Thanks! Let me know if there's anything else needed here
It requires further customization to run correctly. I created a ~/.config/luxtorpeda/user-packages.json file to experiment until I find a solution to contribute but for some reason it's not overriding packages.json. This is the content of my user-packages.json file:

Am I doing something wrong?
Could you run steam in a terminal window and send the output when you try to run the game and have your user packages?
That'll help with some logs that could point to what's going on.
This is the output:

For the user packages json file, try just with a key value pair object of app id and the thing you want. So for example:

"cloudIssue": true,
"cloudIssueReason": "saves_not_compatible",

}
],

"game_name": "Sword and Fairy"
}
}
Thanks that worked! Also you were correct in extracting the AppImage since system installed FUSE is not recognized for some reason. I think I figured out what needs to be done:
dos_files -> PAL_DOSwin_files -> PAL98sdlpal.cfg to ~/.config./sdlpal.cfg then run SDLPal. This is because SDLPal's AppImage is hardcoded to read the config file in that location# For DOS version
cp -f ./PAL_DOS/sdlpal.cfg ~/.config/sdlpal.cfg && chmod +x ./SDLPal-366bc36-x86_64.AppImage && ./SDLPal-366bc36-x86_64.AppImage --appimage-extract && ./squashfs-root/usr/bin/sdlpal
# For WIn98 version
cp -f ./PAL98/sdlpal.cfg ~/.config/sdlpal.cfg && chmod +x ./SDLPal-366bc36-x86_64.AppImage && ./SDLPal-366bc36-x86_64.AppImage --appimage-extract && ./squashfs-root/usr/bin/sdlpal
Interesting thanks! For the translation patch, could you communicate with the patch creater to see if they would be ok with us re-hosting it?
The rest of the things here looks reasonable.
For the translation patch, could you communicate with the patch creater to see if they would be ok with us re-hosting it?
Nostaljaded is the last person to maintain the patch (2015-2019). The only place I found where there is a chance to communicate is the thread they created on rpgcodex.net. So I created an account and posted the following message there:
Hi Nostaljaded, I uploaded the English patch to a repo on github to make it possible to use in Luxtorpeda since it can't be done through the romhacking.net link because of their Cloudflare captcha. This is the link to Luxtorpeda's issue for adding support for the game.
I couldn't find a way to contact you so I'm posting this here. If you want me to take the English patch repo down please let me know.
All new accounts in rpgcodex.net require moderator approval on messages and that can take up to 7 days.
At least as I understand it the nature of these communities is it's fine to distribute and build on each other's works as long as proper credit is given. You can notice that from how many mods are built on top of each other in romhacking.net and hosted in multiple places other than romhacking.net.
I updated the steps, hopefully this covers everything. Sections are divided into what needs to be done when installing (One Time) and what needs to be done every time a user runs the game (Every Run):

sed -i "s|MessageFileName=m_eng.slf|MessageFileName=$(pwd)/PAL_DOS/m_eng.slf|" PAL_DOS/sdlpal.cfg
Present the user with choice of which version to run
Depending on the user's choice link the relevant sdlpal.cfg to ~/.config. Linking is better than copying so we can preserve config changes made by the user.
For Windows version
ln -sf "$(pwd)/PAL98/sdlpal.cfg" ~/.config/sdlpal.cfg
For DOS version
ln -sf "$(pwd)/PAL_DOS/sdlpal.cfg" ~/.config/sdlpal.cfg
Feel free to re-host and share as long as proper credits & original source are mentioned
Already done in the repo and distributable archive 👍
Also if you feel it's better to host it under luxtorpeda for easier maintenance please feel free to do so.
Ah great to hear!
Would you like to open a PR for the changes? Or would you prefer me to look into it? Either way is fine.
Thanks!
Please make the changes. I hope to learn from seeing your commit, I couldn't figure it out from the docs 😅
OK thanks I'll take a look when I have a chance. I'll also need to get the game.
If it's okay with you please accept my friend request on Steam so I can gift you the game. This is the least I can do for taking up your time on this issue 🙏. Also this is not to hurry you up, please take your time
Sure that would be great thank you!
I had to send you a Steam gift card since Steam doesn't allow direct game gifting across regions. Let me know here or in Steam chat if it went through 👍
Thank you very much, I did see it come through
I've just made the changes and did a quick test of opening both and it seems to work, if you can give it a try.
Thanks!

I also ran find ~/ -name "*run-pal98.sh*" 2>/dev/null and didn't find the file. I think run-pal98.sh and run-paldos.sh are not downloaded.
Looking at packagessniper_v2.json I found this in the game's download section:
{
"name": "sdlpal",
"url": "https://codeberg.org/api/packages/luxtorpeda/generic/sdlpal/e7ia2xsnpl/",
"file": "sdlpal-1546570-e7ia2xsnpl.tar.xz"
}
Maybe that have the scripts? But it's not added in choices->download of the game, only engine-files and english-patch are there. Also trying that URL gives me an HTTP 405 (Method Not Allowed) response.
Ah can you try again? I had forgotten to add the sdlpal download to the choices, and so it didn't download it.
Both versions are working 😁👍
Good to hear! Thanks for the help in testing
No worries! I learned a lot from this
No due date set.
No dependencies set.
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
