Guest dardack Posted August 12, 2003 Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 Ok i own the windows versions of: Freespace 1 and 2, quake 2 & 3, neverwinter nights (no expansions), Return to Castle Wolfenstein (ok i can't spell), tons of others of course but these are the ones i've seen listed that work in linux. Is there anything i can do without having to buy a new game to get these games to work in linux, does the graphic card matter? I have an ati 32mb something (ok i can't remember right now not at home), i have an sis 315 64mb tv out blahblah blah (sis sucks), and a really old velocity 4400 by stb systems with 16mb (nvidia chip which the nvidia driver works nice), which card should i go with if and when i can run these games? Also that RTCW thing poster earlier, is that multiplayer only? And is it sweet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOlson Posted August 16, 2003 Report Share Posted August 16, 2003 For Quake3, you just install the point release from id Software, then copy the pak files directly off the CD. Or if you have the Linux version, the installer copies them for you. Same goes for RTCW, unless you have the original pressings, like I do, in which case, you can use a Windows installation to get the files or buy the $5 TuxGames installer (I have this but haven't tried it yet). In general, I use ravage's page as my first resource for Linux installers. As far as the video card question goes, I'd go with the NVidia one, unless one of the others has good 3D support in Linux.
