Download arx_demo_english.zip or arxdemoenglish.zip (md5sum: 3c59a5799e1237b1b181c96e8c09155a) from any of these sites:

• http://www.cnet.com.au/apps/arx-fatalis-updated-demo-10229017/
• http://www.fileplanet.com/85489/80000/fileinfo/Arx-Fatalis-Demo-%5BEnglish---Updated%5D

You can either install the demo using windows or wine or use cabextract to extract the data files.

There is a helper script in the scripts directory of the Arx Libertatis source code:

scripts/install-demo <zipfile> bin/

Manually extract the data

First, extract the .zip file: mkdir demo && cd demo && unzip ../arx_demo_english.zip

Now extract the three .capfiles

cd demo
cabextract x Setup1.cab
cabextract x Setup2.cab
cabextract x Setup3.cab

This should extract the files

If data</bin> is your destination directory, create a data/misc directory and copy the following files:

• demo/bin/Arx.ttf to data/misc/arx.ttf
• demo/bin/data2.pak to data/data2.pak
• demo/bin/LOC.pak to data/loc.pak
• demo/bin/Logo.bmp to data/misc/logo.bmp
• demo/data.pak to data/data.pak
• demo/SFX.pak to data/sfx.pak
• demo/SPEECH.pak to data/speech.pak

You should end up with the following files / md5 checksums (cd data && find * -type f | sort | xargs md5sum):
