Installing open fortress

hello, I want to install open fortress

they don’t have a package on nixos packages, and their installer is a binary executable I was wonder how to get the dependencies to install and play the game

Seems like, in addition to the installer, they also have a 7zip archive with the files? I don’t know if that one is Windows-only, it seems to have more DLLs than SOs. The archive does not seem to have a versioned link either, so that might cause some trouble if making a nix derivation.

I haven’t tried open fortress, but you can probably just steam-run the installer, if you don’t need a nix package for it.

steam-run lets you use the steam fhs environment to run binaries other than steam

yeah this helped. will post this solution in the open fortress community
