A 'How To' get Enemy Territory working with sound
1. Install the steam client.
2. Find and install the et-sdl-sound file if you haven't already got it.
3. Edit et-sdl-sound file and change line ONLY_EXTRACT="no" to ONLY_EXTRACT="yes", save and run the script. This will create the file et-sdl-sound.so in your ET installation directory.
4: Re-edit the file and change that line back to "no", then make sure the following lines are set -
GAME_PATH="~/Games/enemy-territory" # your own path to the game naturally!
LIBSDL="~/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libSDL-1.2.so.0"
USE_FIND="yes"
SDL_AUDIODRIVER="alsa"
save and exit.
5. Start the game by running your normal et script that should call the et-sdl-sound script. Here's a copy of my start script -
#!/bin/sh
# This "wrapper" script should enable the ^/° key on German keyboards to be used as the console drop key
TILDE_DE="`xmodmap -pke | grep 'keycode 49'`"
TILDE_US="keycode 49 = grave asciitilde"
xmodmap -e "$TILDE_US"
cd "~/Games/enemy-territory/"
exec ./et-sdl-sound "$@"
xmodmap -e "$TILDE_DE"
You won't need the key re-assignment codes if you're not using a German keyboard.
The only other issue is forcing it to run fullscreen at the proper resolution, to get around that I have an autoexec file that should be called at start time. Here's a copy if you need it -
autoexec.cfg -
set name ^$YourName
bind "i" dropclip
bind "k" kill
bind "rightarrow" "vsay Thanks"
bind "," say_team ^3Please Wait...^4Bar is Recharging!
bind "leftarrow" say ^WMy^1 HP^W is now [s]
bind "downarrow" say Thanks for the ^1Revive! [r]
bind "uparrow" vsay Welcome
bind "h" toggle cg_draw2d
bind "p" toggle cg_atmosphericEffects
bind "m" vsay EnemyDisguised
bind "ins" vsay Thanks
bind "del" vsay Cheer
bind "home" vsay_team FollowMe
set cg_fov "120"
seta com_soundMegs "64"
seta snaps "40"
seta rate "25000" // was 16000
seta com_hunkMegs "250"
seta r_customwidth "1280"
seta r_customheight "800"
seta r_fullscreen "1"
seta cg_drawFPS "1" //DISPLAY FRAMES PER SECOND
seta cg_drawGun "1" //DISPLAY SELECTED WEAPON
seta com_zoneMegs "64"
seta s_volume "0.9"
seta s_musicvolume "0"
seta s_khz "22"
seta s_bits "16"
seta s_channels "2"
vid_restart
Obviously change customwidth/customheight to your desired screensize, and that file lives in your etmain directory - ~/Games/enemy-territory/etmain/, call it at start time with +exec autoexec.cfg I think.
If you need any files drop me a line.
Enjoy

EDIT: You might have to play with permissions on the et-sdl lib and the scripts, I just change the whole bloody lot to 777 to save messing around
