IMO it will be really helpful if the ebuild provided a list of the required data files, instead of just saying "the data files".
why dont you post the list of data files ive just copied all the files from my duke3d game into the dir, never narrowed it down since there didnt seem much point
Ok, the required data file seems to be duke3d.grp only. The .dmo files ( demo1.dmo, demo2.dmo here ) should be also noted as optional, as AFAIK they are not strictly required and currently they not working [1], but may work some day so would be nice to have. [1] /usr/share/doc/duke3d-20040817/readme.txt.gz: - The original .DMO demo files do not work. However recording new ones and playing those back does work, sometimes. I've disabled playback of demos in the source for stability when people first try to run their compiled version. It shouldn't be too hard to find how to re-enable it for those who want to go in and fix it.
Changed the ebuild to explains how to install the shareware version.
