Linux client

overkordbaever Bertegon Pedestrian Renegade Group: Members Posts: 1 Joined: Mar 30, 2007 So, when will the linux client actually be able to be downloaded again? ......................... vet Posted May 4, 2007, 5:37 pm

If you're interested, we *could* give you the linux client and see if you help diagnose the problems with it? ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted May 4, 2007, 5:39 pm

I could help test it, but I only have slow-as-hell software OpenGL in Linux right now as I haven't bothered to recompile my kernel for the open source ati graphics drivers (the binary ones supported about every other card but mine last time I tried :P) I did try running the windows version with WINE and it worked but it was very slow (probably because of the opengl thing) and froze when I tried to join a game to spectate after downloading data and objects which took several times longer than it should because of the lag on my end. The java lobby app however works fine on linux, but with it being java I'm sure that's not a surprise. I'll probably try with wine again and tell you how it works out in a few weeks time when I have time to fix my graphics card drivers properly. also FYI: I run Gentoo Linux. ......................... vet deathrce1 raceL1 race1 combat1 northernsummer gateautumn elmsautumn deathrceL1 semiprocombat wv cont Posted Jun 2, 2007, 8:34 pm

Deathangels Shadow deathys Strikers Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Contributors Posts: 658 Joined: Jul 24, 2007 I'd be willing to volunteer to test the Linux client, although I imagine more complete testing will be possible once I subscribe (which at this point I'm planning on doing RSN). ......................... vet wv Posted Jul 24, 2007, 10:20 pm

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,780 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 Thanks for the offer. I haven't gotten around to dusting off the Linux build lately, but I have debian on one of my laptops now so I can do proper testing also when I do. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Jul 24, 2007, 11:03 pm

Possible to have a copy of the linux client? Thnx Sam! ......................... vet wv Posted Jul 25, 2007, 8:10 pm

Alocalypse Advanced Race Labs Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Members Posts: 2,236 Joined: May 6, 2007 I've just gotten it to run properly on linux with wine (using knoppix atm) and it 's running rather good, except for an occasional crash that seems to occur when I tab out. But it seems to be playable and stuff.. ......................... vet deathrce1 raceL1 race1 combat1 northernsummer gateautumn elmsautumn deathrceL1 semiprocombat wv cont Posted Aug 4, 2007, 1:24 pm

What's wrong with using a Java VM that runs under Linux instead of trying to run it through WINE? ......................... vet deathrce1 raceL1 race1 combat1 northernsummer gateautumn elmsautumn deathrceL1 semiprocombat wv cont Posted Aug 5, 2007, 12:12 pm

When you run it in Wine, you run the exe directly? ......................... vet wv Posted Aug 5, 2007, 7:43 pm

Yes I run the exe directly. Also if you patch it in linux and want to run it under wine you need to get the latest game .exe manually because the Java lobby doesn't download it, maybe it detects the OS and tries to get the (currently nonexistant) linux executable. ......................... vet deathrce1 raceL1 race1 combat1 northernsummer gateautumn elmsautumn deathrceL1 semiprocombat wv cont Posted Aug 8, 2007, 7:57 am

Quill Bionic CRSR Sunday Driver Renegade Group: Members Posts: 47 Joined: Jul 6, 2007 Sorry for resurrecting the thread, but I'm not having much luck with wine. Anyone using it feel like posting a little howto? For reference, I'm running Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy GIbbon and have a complete working WinXP install to borrow files from. ......................... vet wv Posted Nov 30, 2007, 6:30 pm

lordbam Nephilim Rising Darkwind Guru Anarchists Faction Group: Members Posts: 1,410 Joined: Dec 9, 2007 I just tried running it in wine... Downloaded the windows java installer and installed java with wine. After that i downloaded the dark wind installer and installed it with wine. Without any special configuration (standard debian lenny) i started darkwindLobby.exe with wine and the game seems to work. It is running fluently on an athlon 1800 XP with 1024 MB ram and a geforce ti 4200 (128M only problems i have are minor: when started the screen "drops" everything out of the window (see screenshots) buttons forums, instructions, gang, event diary and so on (i guess the buttons that open a browser window) don't work. Even after installing firefox and explorer 6 in wine. ......................... vet wv zom0,3,0 Posted Dec 31, 2007, 3:53 pm Last edited Dec 31, 2007, 4:31 pm by lordbam
