Linux version
To install Diplomacy under Linux:

  • Install 7-zip if you don't have it already.
  • Download the Windows installer to a temporary directory
  • From terminal navigate to this directory, and unpack the installer:
    7z x Diplomacy_4.3.exe
    (Obviously change command to the file name of your download, if it differs.)
    If this created any subdirectories that have a name starting with an '$', delete them.
  • Go to ~/.steam/steam/SteamApps/common/MountBlade Warband/Modules, copy the folder Native and rename it to something like Diplomacy_temp. You should not name it simply Diplomacy but something different, so if Steam Workshop automatic download starts to work in future, it won't install into the same directory and probably mess something up.
  • Copy all the files from your temporary directory where you extracted the .exe into Diplomacy_temp, overwriting existing files if needed.
  • Start up the Warband configure tool*, and chose "Diplomacy_temp" from the mod list


To copy save games from Native:

Save games for the Linux version of Warband are stored in a hidden folder in your Home:
~/.mbwarband/Savegames
Each mod has its own folder within Savegames, so you will see a folder named Native, and, if you started up Diplomacy already, one named "Diplomacy_temp" [The same name we named our folder during manual install]. Simply copy the contents of Savegames/Native into Savegames/Diplomacy_temp, or, if the latter folder doesn't exist, copy the folder Savegames/Native and rename it.


* Starting the configure tool:

When you click the Play button in Steam it asks you if you want to play game or configure. The configure option however may not work. In that case, run this from terminal:
~/.steam/SteamApps/common/MountBlade Warband/mbw_config_linux

If the config tool still doesn't work, you probably need to install the qt4 packages of your distro. If you use 64 bit Linux, then lso install lib32 versions. On Arch the packages are "qt4" and "lib32-qt4".


Debian

If you are having issues on Debian, check this post by rmangel:

This does not work under STEAMOS. Bigscreen mode is run under the steam user account while the desktop is run under the deasktop account. Steam is not set up to run for the user "desktop". Unless someone can figure out how to get a terminal to run under the SteamOS gui this won't work.

Sorry, I don't know anything about SteamOS, I'm strictly a PC gamer.

Hi, I've been trying to run this with Ubuntu 14.04, using a saved file copied from native. It seemed okay at first, but when I tried to seige a castle, the castle didn't appear - both armies appeared in a mountainous snowfield. Doesn't appear to be a common problem, so presumably I've done something wrong. Any thoughts?

I've read about this somewhere... but nop idea where. But I'm pretty sure it's not related to using Linux or Windows version. Try googilng and check out the other forum threads here, maybe tehre is some info on this.

Well this is a PC, SteamOS is essentially Debian with a Steam monkey suit on it. Its the reason steam is pushing to get so many games on linux. One would think that logically steam would better support it, but its times like this I feel like I'm the only one stupid enough to beta test it.

Hi.
I am trying to setup Diplomacy on Debian 64b.
I have copied all the archives to a new Folder, I have copied the subfolders from the Native to the new mod. . .
But when running the config, from Steam, I can not choose the mods.
And when running the mbw_config_linux from nautilus, I got a ""libsteam_api.so"" missing text . . .
¿Any Idea so I can search for more info?
Thnks.

Did you do that in the right order? You need to copy "Native" to "Diplomacy_temp" FIRST, and THEN copy the extracted archive and overwrite files. If you do it in the opposite order, it will not work.

Hi Storm, thanks for answering.
I am using Debian Jessie Kde 64b.
I have installed qt4core, libqt4-gui:i386, libaudio2:i386
I have been trying to run config from Steam and from terminal (in terminal mbw_config_linux). From Steam, there is no option possible to choose a mod. From terminal, there is continually the "no libsteam_api.so" error, ¡¡But I can see it in the M&B folder!!
In the past I was able to make this run (when Jessie was still Testing), but I can not find the post about the needed configuration.
I have done the EXACT copy order for the folder...
So, If you can help me to find the solution, I will be really In debt with you.
Thanks.

I have finally found what. On Debian.
First, Check you have the latest non-free drivers for your graphics card.
Second. Add the i386 architecture. : (debian) dpkg --add-architecture i386
Third. Add all of the libraries used, for i386 (debian) (note, these libraries are different if you are using nvidia instead of ati... just check them)
apt-get install libgl1-fglrx-glx:i386 libqt4-gui:i386 libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 libc6:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 libxi6:i386

Then, the configuration menu will appear ""magically"".

Here for those who really need help.

Great! I'm glad you did because I couldn't really help you further. I know nothing about Debian.
