[SOLVED] Pink/black placeholders on Linux
Solution:

Original post:

Hi,

I attempted to run Part One Extended on native Linux version of Black Mesa. It looks like some surfaces that contain either letters or logos have been replaced with pink/black placeholders.

To install and run the mod, I copied asheep folder into Black Mesa directory and added -game asheep as a launch option for Black Mesa. It happens with both -game asheep and -game asheep -oldgameui options in both public-beta and regular branches of Black Mesa.

How can I solve this? Thanks!

Do you have this folder with all the files in it?
*\Steam\steamapps\common\Black Mesa\asheep\materials\Azure_Sheep
All the missing materials are located in this folder or any of its subfolders

Greetings,

As files of Source games and mods need to be lowercase on Linux, renaming entire content of asheep directory did the trick including the missing voice lines.

$ cd ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Black\ Mesa/asheep $ LANG=en_US.UTF-8 bash $ find ./ | sort -r | sed 's/\(.*\/\)\(.*\)/mv "\1\2" "\1\L\2"/' |sh

I suggest releasing the next version with lowercase files to make sure cross-platform compatibility for Linux, Mac and Windows. Thank you!

Thanks for including Linux launchers in 26th December 2020 update. Here are the issues that I found:

- File names still feature capital letters that cause pink/black placeholders for some materials on Linux. The command that I pointed out in OP should be applied to lowercase entire asheep directory.

- map as_c3map01 crashes on Linux no matter what. Player needs to skip it with map as_c3map02 command.

- During as_c7 maps, main menu background becomes entirely pink placeholder on Linux.

Last two issues have been fixed by public-beta branch update April 2025.
