Yes because playing on a VM makes so much more sense when you're on nix.
indeed, merry xmas
Parent
nice nice !
this makes a lot of sense, not :D
not really...slac dropped anyway, no news or such over a month already
Wondering the same :D
Parent
idd... 0.6.25 version like 2 months now, looks like he won't update it anymore :<
Parent
True indeed, plus no 'latest' bust list, SLAC was just another flash in the pan if you ask me, glad i never took the time to install the thing :)
Parent
you're such a badass
Parent
get your hax back on
Parent
Yeh lets force every linux user to install Windows because thats what they want so badly.

Idiot they switches to linux for a reason!

And SLAC is buggy as hell and I can remember a post from KB that said linux version will be avi in a day, and that was two months ago. Speedlink need to work on SLAC or we can better move back to PB.
go back to pb and pale is back in business :)

can u really play properly et in a virtual box? i have a virtual box on my linux too with a windows xp installed on it. i thought about doing the same.
mouse movement is buggy, can't rly bother to look into that. fps is ok tho.
Parent
it was a buggy on me too
Parent
care, santa will fix this. Now celebrate x-mas nerd :S
Dont see a reason to use Linux :D. I'll say.. who cares are linux users able to play or not. If you are nerd enough you will have 2 OS
Don't see reason to spend $$ on Windows :D. I'll say.. who cares are Windows users able to think or not. If you nerd enough you will safe your money and have a Linux
Parent
This is crossfire where i bet over 90% of users use illegal versions of windows, i actually paid for mine, you get what you pay for has always been my beleif :)
Parent
The quality of Windows doesn't change whether you pay for it or not..
Parent
It does not, but you have Windows and every program works on it and programs/games are made for Windows. :)
Parent
actually only games.

and thats changing with playonlinux.


concerning to programs u have way more options to pick from which are in most of the cases way better.

and most of those programs when they are made for windows are more widely used than microsoft ones since IE, microsoft word... etc are utterly shit compared to FF, chromium, or open office.
Parent
I hear this story already for 8 years. Things have not changed. Installing and beeing able to play on Linux is so fucking difficult. Linux is not for playing games.
Parent
i said things are changing, and the playonlinux project is kinda new.

the only thing where windows performs better than linux is on games.
Parent
it came with my pc.
it should have for yours.

same with everyone else
Parent
It's cheaper and you get better quality when building your own computer (and it's also very easy to do) so no, Windows did not come with my pc (and the same for many others).
Parent
a custom pc dont mean shit. and has nothing to do with windows.
custom pc means the hardware.


windows is installed on your HD. not anything else.
so. ahaving a custom pc has nothng to do with windows....
Parent
Of course it does, if you build your own computer it doesn't "come with windows" like you suggest, unless of course you purchase windows separately.

When you buy a new harddrive it is _always_ going to be clean and unformatted, if it isn't then you should return it.
Parent
u can get better quality out of open source

gratz you are stupid
Parent
Thats how the world works. You pay you get everything you need. :)
Parent
fortunately not on computers.
Parent
dude, its annoying when i need to reboot pc to use windows just to play et, and then reboot again to work ;p
Parent
nice config
this is the dumbest post i've ever read on xfire =/
troll of the year
Nice config, Can i have it?
You just wanted to show off your slac id
problem solved, but avoiders will still not use it rofl
no, its not solved, u cant play et like this. thats a virtualbox if u move your mouse in there it feels like its all lagged plus i couldnt even get it to fullscreen
Parent
get windows fuckin avoider!:D
Parent
I guess if you play @ nix you can't get on servers with the slac addon at all then? Going to install deb. soon and want to know what my options are. x
Parent
nix? i dno much about that tbh:P

what debian u going for? ive got a sid, Im pretty happy about it mainly because u get really new stuff, most of the times its just stable but yet other distros will still take ages to have em. and well when it comes to gaming i dont use linux, ive got a 10gb windows on my pc only for that.

So thats about it to me, got it for evrything except gaming and KDE because i like the desktop. and what meez says? he could perhaps help u out when it comes to gaming on linux?

I know that there is this http://www.playonlinux.com/ to play on linux but i never tried it.

but what this guy posted wont work to play et, i have a virtualbox with xp aswell and i was planning on doing the same but even on the windows menu inside the virtualbox the mouse is a bit laggy so i didnt even try it.
Parent
Nix = linux :D

Not sure I considered sid but not sure, I think i'd go for gnome too, looked at KDE but don't really know what to expect stability wise or how it will draw on my resources (my PC is outdated).

Meez loves Et and nix but I'm not really sure about using it because quite simply, I won't be able to play on slac etc. Lion said that I pretty much get away with not using SLAC because im on linux, which kinda sounds dumb to me, not sure. I tried ET on linux and it worked so smoothly on 125/125 with no mouse input lag at all.

No tried play on linux either, will do some reading on that. Virtual boxing doesn't work if you want to play ET like this it's easier just partition a HDD, was thinking about getting another 2GB ram and RAM driving ET on XP instead. :)
Parent
desktops its about taste, u can try dif environments easily tho, install em and pick which one u want to use on the login menu, then stick with the one u liked the most.

about kde's stability well i think gnome is more stable but my dad is a well known programmer here in spain (he became known due to a site that has about 700k vists a day) and he always used KDE.

And yeah u can actually achieve more fps on linux, and SLAC wont be developed for linux?
Parent
It was meant to but as mentioned above there has been little progress at all recently. How do you mean install then choose at login? :)

u chose which one u want to use there. bottom right

heres the link if u cant see the pic

Parent
Got a 404 for that bro, what's the project called? :)
Parent
uh, getting the same here now, weird it wasnt like that b4.

it seems it works sometimes.

http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/images/addgnomejaunty11.png

only screenshots i can find are from that site.

its basically that u install for example kde on gnome, so u do smth like sudo apt-get install kde (i dont remeber how the package was called) and it downloads and installs it, after u logout from your session and in the menu to login u can chose which one u want to use, kde, gnome.. etc. all the environments uve installed

ed: site working again for me
