While using plus-x didn't seem to work for me for some reason, I can say that manually making those files executable does make the game run now (thanks for that).

plus-x acts like the permissions are changed, but when I extract the zip file, the changes don't stay.

Hmm, works for me. Maybe try directly from command-line:

$ python plus-x.py somnaBuster_itchLINUX.zip +x linux64/chrome_crashpad_handler linux64/nacl_helper linux64/nacl_helper_bootstrap linux64/somnaBuster

Nope, same deal.

I'll research zip and see if there's a method to retain permissions after extraction.

Hopefully, if PD CGT uses plus-x, it'll work for them.

Hi again, sorry I haven't responded until now, I've been caught up on a new project.

I appreciate you clarifying the issue with Linux permissions. From Windows, how can I alter the main game file to be seen as an executable by Linux?

Reyold15 days ago (1 edit)

Can't say for sure. I haven't touched Windows for quite some time, Plus-X, as BloodScourge suggested, might be your best bet. If that doesn't work, I made a crude script that sets executable permissions for the user and then runs the game. Hopefully that helps some.

#!/bin/bash
chmod u+x chrome_crashpad_handler nacl_helper nacl_helper_bootstrap somnaBuster
./somnaBuster

I'll do some research on the subject and get back to you if I find anything helpful.
