How to run/start nightly version besides stable version?

Post by marionline »

Hello!
Can I run two different version of the OHR on the same os?

I want to use the stable release (for development of my old games) and the nightly release (for the collab contest), will that work? :???:

I could not figure out how to start the nightly files I downloaded, but the deb-package might overwrite the stable version, and I want to keep the stable version.
I tried to run the windows version with whine, but got an error: Exception EAccessViolation. (That might be a whine-bug-thingy.)
I would also rather run the linux-nightly files, but did not figure out how to do so.

Yes, you can install side by side, but no, they can't both be .deb packages.

It sounds like you have the stable version installed as a .deb so leave that as it is.

Download one of the nightly Linux tarballs (either 32bit or 64bit) and extract it somewhere in your home folder. Don't attempt to install it system-wide as root.

Now just run ohrrpgce-custom from inside that folder.

If you get any error messages, just let me know.

Try running the nightly CUSTOM from your terminal, if you haven't already
