Modding Environment Setup under Linux

[freddy72nz]

Hi Everyone, I am running Linux Mint 19.2 and am setting up the modding environment.
The only issue I have is that I can't find the Unity 2018.2.21f1 download for Linux.
I have installed 2019.3.0f1 and that's working fine. It did tell me that some of the API calls were deprecated when I imported the DaggerfallToolsForUnity.unitypackage and I got it to auto update the calls.

Will this cause any issues?

Thanks,

Freddy.

Hi, and welcome. Hopefully Pango will drop by and give more info as he uses Linux exclusively. I do most of my dev work on my windows 10 (I miss 7, why did I upgrade?) gaming PC but I do have a Mint 18 laptop which I do a little bit on. I'm using 2018.2.7f1 Unity build for Linux since that's the closest I could find to the DFU version. It does give a warning about version mis-match, just say okay. Seems to work alright. No idea if using 2018.3 would cause any issues. Probably not, but I am not an expert.

Downloading 2018.2.12f1 for Linux is explained here, just replace 2.12f1 with 2.21f1.

As for modding, I didn't write any mod from scratch yet, but I could compile them and even submitted PRs for Tedious Travel.
For some reason I can't compile mods anymore: When I click on Build mod button, nothing happens.

I've not actually tried building mods on Linux, I've only done small core work on it.

Thanks for your help, I'll get on to setting it all up and see how I go.
Plenty of spare time at work here so I may as well do something fun with it
