You should be able to get the tarball or RPM from some Descent3 site if they still exist.

As for configuring the server, just follow the manual, its not bad...

That glitch sounds like the infamous level checksum bug. The server and client calculate some checksum value to verify that indeed the levels are identical on both the server and client. This is probably to prevent cheating from occuring. Long story short, there is a bug in the Windows client which ...

Not much really. Download the D3 Linux server, and follow the directions inside the package on how to install it. It's a pretty easy install, and you will have to copy over some files from the Descent CD, which it will also tell you to do in the instructions.

From what I recall, there was no Linux version of InstaReap back when I did want to put it on, and therefore I can't put it on SOD. I've compiled MODs for Linux before, and compiled tonnes of DALLAS scripts, so all I need is the source, and I will compile it and install it on SOD. I'll support anyth...

Varicose 4 J-oh was already on the server for some time. RatPak and Ancient of Days has been on SOD for years. Ancient of Days is in the RatPak, and to play it, you have to select RatPak from the MultiLevel Missions drop down menu. I'd be interested in someone helping me track down the people that m...

All those levels listed are on the SOD system now with the exception of J-Oh which I don't know where to download. Varicose Veins has 4 different variations on SOD also. Ascent is a victim of the checksum bug. In fact probably about half the levels on SOD won't work because of a bug introduced in 1....

SOD Update

For those of you that still use the SOD system, you will be glad to know that I actually did an update to it recently *gasp*. I rounded up 175 levels, 27 of which had some issues. By far most popular issue was the DALLAS script was not compiled for Linux, or was improperly compiled. Since they did n...

I never ran D3 on Linux as a client so I can't give you any insightful comments. However there is one fairly easy thing you can do to make sure nothing funny is going on in the Descent 3 code on start-up. That is download Valgrind, it's a kick-ass fault checker/memory leak detector for Linux. You do...

That's great news to hear that the 1.5 patch is being worked on!! If you need someone to Beta test the Linux server, I am at your disposal. Also if you compile the server with debugging symbols I can run Valgrind on it (as you can also, it's free) and that may uncover some interesting faults. BTW wh...
