The snap contains: * SpringLobby * The tool `pr-downloader` that you can use to download engines, games, maps and so on * The latest engine, the game Zero-K and a map is included out of the box to make it playable. The lobby can be used to easily launch single or multiplayer games. It has also a built in utility to download games, maps and other tings from users. If you prefer to use pr-downloader, the command is `springlobby-nsg.pr-downloader`. For example, to download the latest release of BA type `springlobby-nsg.pr-downloader ba:stable` (Balanced Annihilation is a popular game that is similar to the original Total Annihilation). **Install** The package is named `springlobby-nsg`. The default channel "stable" contains verified builds. The "edge" channel are automatically built and are untested, this channel should always contain the latest release. ``` # install stable release (recommended) snap install springlobby-nsg # test the edge release snap install --edge springlobby-nsg # new install snap refresh --edge springlobby-nsg # switch from stable to edge ``` **About** This is an unofficial package of SpringLobby. The lobby in the Ubuntu repositories was so old so it was not possible to connect to the official server for online play. I created this snap back in early 2017 for my own use, but published it for everybody to use. **Bugs** If you have found bugs that you think is related to snap, feel free to open an issue at the code repository at ### Package name * springlobby-nsg --- ### License * GPL-2.0+ --- ### Last updated * 4 August 2020 - latest/stable * 17 January 2023 - latest/edge This snap hasn't been updated in a while.

They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd If you’re running [Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)](https://www.ubuntu.com/) or later, including [Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)](https://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/features) and [Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseNotes), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go. For versions of Ubuntu between [14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes) and [15.10 (Wily Werewolf)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WilyWerewolf/ReleaseNotes), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include *snap* by default, *snap* can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for *snapd*. Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line: ``` sudo apt update sudo apt install snapd ``` Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly. ### Install SpringLobby (nsg) To install SpringLobby (nsg), simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install springlobby-nsg ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
