I know Exile 3 was made for Linux but considering the Linux community is simply 100's of hackers are their more Spiderweb Software games people have made into Linux? I have Ubuntu if that is a factor. -------------------- When I close my eyes at night I see David Bowie. Posts: 157 | Registered: Saturday, August 25 2007 07:00 |

quote:That's an unfair generalization. Linux is a diverse community, from those capable of hacking to those who are just computer-savvy, to those who picked up the Linux for Dummies book. That said, from what I've heard, many SW games run on Linux as is, WINE aside. -------------------- Scenarios need reviews! Please rate these scenarios at the CSR after playing them!

From what I've heard, the Linux port of Exile 3 is basically just the Windows version with an old version of winelib tacked on to it anyway. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

There was something over in Blades of Exile about making a version for Linux to take advantage of the open source. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

The consensus seems to be that Exile 3 for Windows in WINE runs better than the official Spiderweb port for Linux. I have tried neither and don't know how they actually compare. -------------------- The Noble and Ancient Order of Polaris - We're Not Yet Dead.
