hi,
After seeing our linuxhaxor douille pwning so hard yesterday, I decided to give ubuntu another chance. It installed like a charm just like the last time. I'm currently downloading the ET linux bin files, and i guess i'll have to update etc.
Please give me some advice on:
-how to get the sound working (got hardware soundmixing)
-how to not get kicked for gameviolation 20006
-mousesettings
-wine or mumble?
-whatever you feel important :P
-how the fuck do i install the linux ET client :')
tnx a lot
over

took me a while to get it
sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2debian-alsa after that you enter this :
wget -q -O - http://nullkey.ath.cx/~stuff/et-sdl-sound/et-sdl-sound.gz | gzip -d > et-sdl-sound && chmod a+x et-sdl-sound
and start ET with ./et-sdl-sound
This works with Wine + ET fine.
mousesettings you can adjust in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf in the mouse section
I couldnt hear two people talking.
Now, besides sound problems (you won't make it work 100% like you would like to; don't even waste your time. Either et or ts/ventrillo will have fucked up sound.) there is another problem with ubuntu (8.04-8.10). After installing it try running et and do some quick turns. You'll probably notice that mouse stops responding. Also mousewheel will be fucked up. This is a know problem with latest versions of xorg. You can't fix that by switching dpi or in_dgamouse. If you manage to fix that, plz send me a pm. I tried and failed.
Of course there are other issues, like getting used to linux input and later playing on windows on any lan, etc. List goes without end. Too bad that if one has a bit older computer (which still handles 125fps in et) only linux can stop pb from lagging as hell.
Can run ET, music and ventrilo together
Took a little configuration but I got my mouse (MX518) working exactly the same as in windows (side buttons, scroll etc)
(or send awesome links with precise/exact info)
plz?
use pbsetup.run and download the client html files on the page
use compiz to change the mouse polling rate 1 = 1000hz, 2 = 500hz, etc
wine and vent work, but only with voice activation, mumble has a native client, so if u can use it.
don't blame windows for sucking !!
nvidia 6600gt drivers install

and would make me a totally linux user in less than 2 hours
So, instead of running the installer with "sudo ./et-linux-2.60.x86.run", simply execute it with "./et-linux-2.60.x86.run", change the installation path to something like "/home/overdrive/enemy-territory", and place the symbolic links in "/home/overdrive". Then, when the installation is finished, move the symbolic links to "/usr/local/bin/" with the following command:
./setup.sh: 278: /home/bart/.setup6354: not found
./setup.sh: 289: /home/bart/.setup6354: not found
If that's what you get when you attempt to run the installer, try downloading it from http://ftp.games.skynet.be/pub/wolfenstein/et-linux-2.60.x86.run and make sure that it isn't corrupt by checking its md5 checksum against the following sum: 2d2373f29f02e18d365d7f1860eee435.
You can print the installer's checksum by issuing the following command:
You could try launching the installer with "sh et-linux-2.60.x86.run" instead of "./et-linux-2.60.x86.run". Don't know if it makes a difference.
As an alternative, you could try installing the game through Playdeb, which I just stumbled upon. That should make the installation frictionless. (Haven't tried it myself, but it seems very straightforward.)
