Sim City 3000 is always fun if you are a fan of the "sims" sorta games. Majesty is good, Civilization is always fun / Alpha Centuri. I cant think of too many games without alot of violence, heh but there are deffinatly good ones out there, py-ddr :wink: A tale in the desert looks good but is too complicated for me.

Though urban terror is nice, i also find it to be a little cartoonish and the models walk funny :lol: as far as a counter-strikeish game goes i think tactical ops is a better bet than urban terror. and the graphics id say are about the same as urban terror. but all and all they are both good games.

I just got tactical ops and im HOOKED its way better than counter-stike or Urban Terror in my opinion and it runs nativly in linux theres even a nice loki installer for the retail version witch is selling for i think 7 bucks at ebworld, where i got my copy. http://www.tactical-ops.de/ - Offical game site http://www.icculus.org/~ravage/tacops/ - Tactical ops linux :P

Hey im not sure why my system is doing this but im running mandrake 9 and for some reason (i have no clue) everything in my kmenu is gone i have tryed opening menudrake and menudrake shows that everything is still there? but when i try saveing the configuration and such there is still nothing in my menu? is this a common problem?? or some sort of glitch? I tryed installing icewm and the menus will not show up there either??? im still not sure whats wrong with my menus, but they arent showing up at all???

Ive seen alot of mods for unreal tournament that now work with ut2003 and i was woundering if tactical ops works with ut2003?? if so does anyone know how to get it working?

Finaly i have a reason to open my neverwinter nights box :)

all i have in my main directory is the following cgamei386.so mp_pakmaps0.pk3 rotate.cfg uii386.so cgame.mp.i386.so mp_pakmaps1.pk3 scripts/ ui.mp.i386.so mp_bin.pk3 mp_pakmaps4.pk3 sp_pak1.pk3* mp_pak3.pk3 qagamei386.so sp_pak2.pk3* mp_pak4.pk3 qagame.mp.i386.so sp_pak3.pk3* this is after copying the 6 .pk3 files from my GOTY cd's and installing all the upgrades

I have RTCW GOTY Edition and i installed the linux full 1.41 update and such and copyed the sp and mp .pk3 files off my Wolfenstein cd's but now when i go to play it and i type wolfmp i get this error? Wolf 1.41-MP linux-i386 Dec 4 2002 ----- FS_Startup ----- Current search path: /home/drew/.wolf/main /usr/local/games/wolfenstein/main/mp_pakmaps4.pk3 (52 files) /usr/local/games/wolfenstein/main/mp_pakmaps1.pk3 (34 files) /usr/local/games/wolfenstein/main/mp_pakmaps0.pk3 (21 files) /usr/local/games/wolfenstein/main/mp_pak4.pk3 (5 files) /usr/local/games/wolfenstein/main/mp_pak3.pk3 (76 files) /usr/local/games/wolfenstein/main/mp_bin.pk3 (4 files) /usr/local/games/wolfenstein/main ---------------------- 192 files in pk3 files ----- CL_Shutdown ----- ----------------------- ----- CL_Shutdown ----- ----------------------- Sys_Error: Couldn't load default.cfg - I am missing essential files - verify your installation? Im not sure why im missing these files?? My opengl and nvidia Drivers are working correctly

are you serious??? hmmm this is weird seing as the NCcheck.sh script i got off nvidias website told me to download those files.... iall try and find the right one, this was most likely the problem

i talked to some people in #nvidia on freenode and i found that i have some mesa ? glx thing installed??? i tryed removing it and it says its dependent on XF86 rpmdrake and a bunch of other programs? im not sure WHY? it is installed it never was installed before i cant get my nvidia drivers working at all and none of this make sence seeing as EVERY other time i have installed mandrake 9 even on the same computer im installing it on right now i have never had this problem and it has never installed this mesa glx stuff??? - :x :x :x

I Just installed mandrake on a computer of mine with a geforce 4 ti 4200 in it and i downloaded the nvidia drivers and such, but when i went to install the NVIDIA_kernel i got this error? modprobe: Can't locate module nvidia Failed to install nvidia.o error: execution of %post scriptlet from NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-4191.mdk90smp failed, exit status 1 Ive never had this problem before? and im not sure if either im doing something wrong or if there is something im not aware of that is diffrent on my computer?? On top of that when i go to install the GLX rpm i get this error? --- WARNING!! libglx.a libGLcore.a libGL.so.1.2 --- The above file(s) possibly belong to a conflicting MESA rpm, --- or to a previous stale NVIDIA distribution. --- They have been renamed to xxx.<originalFile>.RPMSAVE to --- avoid conflicting with the files contained within this --- package. --- Please see the FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS section of --- /usr/share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0/README for more details. im not sure what the second error means and ive installed my nvidia drivers succesfully dozens of times? does anyone know what might be wrong?

yea, ive been having alot of problems with rpm's from 9.0 no longer working with 9.1 i cant get rpm-build to install at all even with the 9.1 rpm that i found and i havent been able to rebuild the nvidia source rpm becasue of it. :-/ so far the only rpm's for the nvidia kernel that ive found are from mandrakeclub and i havent been able to get them :-/

I was woundering if anyone has made nvidia rpm's for mandrake 9.1? if so where can i get them?

Hey i just installed the new mandrake 9.1 RC2 and i was woundering if there was a version of synaptic for it or a place where i could find some mandrake 9.1 rpms?

Hey, i was woundering if any of the expansions to the sims work with the winex version of the sims for linux?

Hey im having a little trouble finding the linux ut2003 client? do any of you know where i can get it?

Hey im thinking about buying an internal flash card reader for use with my digital camera in linux im woundering if any of you have and sudgestions for anything ot buy? or certain models with good linux support?

This is the same problem i had when i tryed to compile it for myself

OSNEWS.com Says: The next major version of XFree86, the popular X11 windowing system for Unix, is now available from XFree86's FTP server and its mirrors. Version 4.3.0 offers many new features, including the RandR extension, new mouse cursors, better font engine, better ATi Radeon support and much more. so i guess its released TODAY

HURRAY......... I HAVE A COPY OF NEVERWINTERNIGHTS that has been sitting in its box for the last 2 months! hopefully i will be able to use it soon !!! :D

Yea thanks for the help,i did what you guys said but i found out that kde wasnt even loading the desktop! but i fixed the problems with kde so now everything is running fine. thanks

I was woundering how i can manualy edit the directory that my desktop is located at? is there a file i can edit?

I have a new Olympus d-550 Zoom Digital camera and i want to get it running in mandrake 9 Im running the new KDE 3.1 and i went to the kde menu clicked on Configuration >KDE > Pheripherals > Digital Camera and i went to look for my model camera in the list i didnt find it but found the D-500 and the D-600 but my question is my camera doenst seem to have any other way of connecting it to a computer other than USB ??? and neither the d-500 or d-600 "drivers im guessing" had anything on them for USB??? am i on the right track here? i havent found any tutorials on digital cameras in linux too bad http://www.trylinuxsd.com/ doesnt have one :) .... But basicaly im woundering if any of you might have any clue as to what i should be doing or what to do to get my camera working in mandrake 9 ...

yea, talk to roman about that. hes been working on it and from what ive heard it was going good but hes ran into a bunch of problems with windows code and im not a programer or such, so i couldnt tell you much more. BUT HE IS still working on it and he finaly recived the game in the mail last week so iall talk to him but he hasnt abandoned the project and if he does he will release what he has worked on.

i play this game more than i play any of my commercial games :)
