Sorry if I replied to something that was posted quite sometime ago but following this advice helped me a lot and I managed to get the game running on my Linux rig.
I tried using later versions of OpenJDK and using that to run the jar file and I kept getting errors which I don't know what to do with.
And somehow my distro does not have a straightforward way to install JavaFX.
Luckily I came across your post about needing Java 8 and using the script to use that Java 8 to run the jar file.
Here's my script in case anyone needs it to get the game to run on Linux, be sure to change Java8 to wherever you extracted Java 8 to.
Make sure you downloaded the jar version.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
# Change into the script's directory.
cd "${0%/*}"
# Try to get the latest version of LT.
jar=
for file in "LilithsThrone_"*".jar"; do
[[ ${file} > ${jar} ]] && jar=${file}
done
# Quick sanity check.
if [[ ${jar} == "LilithsThrone_*.jar" ]]; then
echo "Lilith's Throne JAR file could not be found."
echo
echo "Make sure to put this script in your Lilith's Throne directory."
exit 1
fi
# Change Java8 to wherever you have Java 8 installed.
Java8=/home/jre1.8.0_371/
gamemoderun ${Java8}/bin/java -jar ${jar}
