ET in Linux

I've installed Europe xubuntu to my Denmark PC, but i've kept Windows installation as well because I haven't yet accomplished to get my ET to work on Linux. After installing it, i updated to ET Patch 2.60b and then i joined a server, but got kicked for game integrity as expected. I ran pbweb.x86 to update pb and when it said it was done i rejoined a server, but got the same error. Atm I dont have any sound in ET either, even tho i have sound elsewhere (when listening to music and so on).

Is there anywhere I can get a zip file or whatever like the pro file on vae's site with all included and updated ????

Or is there a thing i need to do that i dont need to do in windows and therefore have missed ????

Thx in advance

go to irc.rizon.net and join #nixcoders channel and pm chaplja. :P
Is it a joke or a real advice?
I'm blond and therefore I don't understand when people are being sarcastic. ^^

chaplja might know tbh


you need to download pbupdate for linux
Parent
Well he knows all about linux :)
Parent
wget -c <Url of 2.60b Patch>
unzip Patchpack.zip
cd Patch
cp ET.x86 /usr/local/games/enemy-territory

You may have to edit the path where you installed ET to.
nP
but with doing that i only get the patch to overwrite the original files dont i?

I did that already with dl'ing the patch and overwriting the 2 files needed.

LOL
Edit: I just recognized that u mean game integrity :D
Yea, thats weirdo on linux, do this:
cd /usr/local/games/enemy-territory/pb
cp * /home/bLAZ3R/.etwolf/pb
cd /home/bLAZ3R/.etwolf/pb
./pbweb.x86

Yea, thats weirdo on linux, do this:
su
cd /usr/local/games/enemy-territory/pb
cp * /home/bLAZ3R/.etwolf/pb
cd /home/bLAZ3R/.etwolf/pb
./pbweb.x86

hi linux user^^
Parent
cd /usr/local/games/enemy-territory/pb
cp * ~/.etwolf/pb
cd ~/.etwolf/pb
./pbweb.x86

imo


sudo -s
echo "et.x86 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss
echo "et.x86 0 0 disable" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0c/oss
exit

for sounds.

np
Parent
Nope, ;)
When you do it that way, the files will be copied to /home/root/.. because your logged in as root. :-)
Parent
Wheee, for me it's ok, because I play with root \o/.

Everytime when I start ET I have to start the sound manually (too lazy to make a starter) and then I'm too lazy to log out of root =)
Parent
My Advice: Don't play ET as root, then your easily woundable.
Parent
im using linux but i had the same prob at windumb too

its just for 10 mins or so after pb update and reinstall
bit later i never got kicked
Thx alot, ill try it later tonight, the evil hand of HOMEWORK has grabbed me atm.
1. u got pbsetup.run ?
if not, get pbsetup.run, a guy of EvenBalance told me all linux users should use pbsetup.run now, to update pb.

2. sound script (linux&ts)

#!/bin/bash

sudo chmod a+w /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss
sudo chmod a+w /proc/asound/card0/pcm0c/oss
sudo echo "et.x86 0 0 disable" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0c/oss
sudo echo "et.x86 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss

save as settings.sh or something
so you here et sound if you are in TeamSpeak too.^^

start it every time u started your pc and u want to play et
u could save it as autostart script too..

i dunno whats with pb in nix, i normally update it in both ~/.etwolf/pb and in install dir (/usr/local/games/et260b/)
Manually update all PB-files to their folders
Btw, for the sound thingy:

Your soundcard (Prolly Ac'97 OnBoard) does not support the output of 2 sound devices at the same time. Quit ur music, then start ET. :-)
I've got AC'97 onboard, but everything works quite nice without problems. I can run TS, Vent, XMMS and ET at the same time while I'm listening to them :p
Parent
Ye, only happens in some cases.
