<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">If I remember correctly, ID writes their games on a *NIX box of some sort first, and then ports them from there to other platforms. Porting from whatever *NIX they start with to Linux would be a lot simpler than porting it to Windows. So why not, of course they make it available for Linux. Heck, when Quake 3 came out I remember seeing the Special Metal Box Collector's Editions for the Linux Version still on the shelves some months after the game was released.

Well I thought maybe they had distributors or something... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

Re: SEV for Linux?
 

Anyone know if the actual Version of Wine is able to run SEIV? I´m thinking about migrating from WINXP to Mandrake Linux but i wish to be able to run SEIV...

thanks...

btw: i never worke with linux before, but i´m trying some livecds and found Mandrake the most user-friendly (at least for me), but i only tested Slackware, Conectiva and Madrake livecds... is there any other more user-friendly than Mandrake out there? I think i can manage Mandrake without major problems, but if there is other distros more "windows-like" than it i would like to know....

Re: SEV for Linux?
 

Yes, individuals have gotten SEIV to run on Wine just fine. Lemme dig up the threads and I'll link you to them.

Edit: Here is one. In there is a link to another thread dealing with getting SEIV to run in Wine but since the forum upgrade that broke the link. I cannot seem to find it manually either.

Edit2: I cannot find the other threads. Maybe someone else will have been fortune finding it.

thanks man.... no rush.... i´m still downloading the Mandrake isos...., even with my IDSL it will take at least 3 days....

I don't really know what Version fixed the icons not showing up. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif
What I do know is: if the one mandrake uses doesn't work I can help install a newer Version or winex (yes I know how to use cvs now). http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
