I will test the other Avernum games in Wine and Cedega to see what happens. I am sure that if the source was available then someone would jump at the chance to port it. I understand thats not going to happen but hey I can dream can't I? ;) Posts: 8 | Registered: Monday, August 21 2006 07:00 |

To the Exile 3 port comment that is a shame that it works better in Wine. Doesn't help my cause that really ;) For dual booting I don't really want to. I really don't like Windows as an OS and would really like to be able to play my games in the OS of my choice. Avernum won't run in Wine currently. I suppose it relys heavily on DirectX which would make the devs not want to try porting. Hopefully someone shares my views. If I had the skills I would offer them but I am afraid I don't.

Hey all this is my first post so be kind. Anyway this mainly goes out to the SpiderWeb devs. What are you thoughts on a Linux port. I see that Exile 3 got ported and I think that is great but I would really like to see some Avernum and Geneforge on my nix box. I tried nethack and other rehashes of the same thing but they are nothing compared to Avernum. I want to get back to the underworld :D I have tried running Avernum 4 under Cedega (Windows game emulation app) and it kind of works. Everything seems ok but the interface is painfully slow at times. I really think this is the kind of game that people in the Linux comunity would like. Sorry I am rambling. So to sum things up what do you think about a Linux port for maybe the next batch of games or the one after that? Also if there are any other Linux users out there that want to back me up then thats good too ;) Ironfistchamp Posts: 8 | Registered: Monday, August 21 2006 07:00 |
