libfreetype.so.6
librt.so.1
libGL.so.1
libGLU.so.1
libusb-0.1.so.4

Additionally, nxahook needs the following direct dependencies for pumpnet:

libcurl-gnutls.so.4

Ubuntu packages for nxahook dependencies for pumpnet:

Further indirect dependencies are needed but should be taken care of automatically when using a package manager to install the direct dependencies.

Data setup

In additional to the general information applying to all hooks, this game requires all files and folders from the original game folder to be in UPPERCASE on a case-sensitive file system. Further game asset files and folders from cramfs need to be copied to the game directory. nx.ttf, nxcn.ttf, nxpt.ttf, nxtw.ttf, mission.txt and ufo.txt must be lowercase but SCRIPT and its contents must be UPPERCASE.

The config (or CONFIG) folder and its contents must be available in UPPER AND lowercase. The BrainQuest folder name must be kept like this and its contents must be lowercase.

Pumpnet setup

Identical to what's already outlined in the document dedicated to NX2.

Troubleshooting and FAQ

Make sure to also check the troubleshooting and FAQ section of the main hook readme. This covers various things that apply to all hooks. The following sub-sections apply mainly to this hook.

Regarding any pumpnet (or USB profiles) related issues, please refer to items from the troubleshooting and FAQ section of NX2.
