I'm nowhere close to those specs. I'm still using a 6x00 generation video card...

FunkyStickman

That's true, you can symlink nearly anything in Linux. It would probably work well for multiple dedicated servers, which (I think) need to be in separate folders but could share the same .hog files. I really haven't gotten into the dedicated server aspect of it, but I'm seriously considering it... M...

Just to let everybody know, I'm updating the HowTo since it's pretty dated... Mostly, I'm including the game type fixes, and changed to use \"sudo\" instead of su into root (for Ubuntu-based distros that have disabled root accounts). The good news is that using \"sudo\" instead w...

None of the levels from D1 really stick out in my mind... it's been too long since I played them. D2: Probably most of the secret levels. They were frustrating, but pretty slick in design. Better than most of the rest of D2. The Vertego levels were pretty good, but nothing sticks out in my mind spec...

Here's the latest...

Ubuntu Studio, with Beryl effects and desklets.

FunkyStickman

Last I heard, development on 1.5 was totally dead in the water, and nobody else could get the code to finish it. We spent over a year trying to jump-start it. Most of us just gave up and just dealt with the 1.4 issues, or ran Windows-only 1.5 servers. (EDIT) I just re-read through some of the old st...

FunkyStickman

Oh yeah, you can do this in Linux:

FunkyStickman

Oh cool! I've been trying to get d3 to work on Ubuntu without success yet. Question, are these files actually in the public domain? No, I'm not threatening to turn anyone in, it's just that I'm a bit of a stickler for making certain I don't download illegal stuff. If I could find a d3 for linux, I'...

FunkyStickman

I got into the scene with the Descent 2 demo... but I was already in college by then.

With D2X and D3 running in Linux and OSX, there's all kinds of technology going on. Including old-school joystick support. Somebody needs to send me some old joysticks to test in Linux...

FunkyStickman

Windows? What's that?

I made the switch long ago... no regrets.

FunkyStickman

I run D3 in Linux, exclusively. I've got the Loki official port I got off Ebay. It does have it's limitations, but it's not as buggy as using the windows version under wine, which I have done. I did extensive benchmarking, and with medium-range hardware, there was no performance difference between t...

FunkyStickman

Here's my new machine I built... the whole front was custom fiberglassed (by myself) and the case was painted (again, by me) inside and out, custom fans, and I used a laptop \"skin\" sticker for the top graphics. It's running Ubuntu, and Descent3 for Linux. http://poshboxmods.com/Ultra-Mic...

FILES ARE BACK UP!

D3 Linux-specific files and howto (written by FunkyStickman)
D3Fix for Linux, gzipped .tar file (written by Munk, for fixing the checksum bug)
D3Fix for Linux, .rpm file(same, for Suse and Fedora/RedHat distros)

LAST TWO LINKS AREN'T LIVE... WORKING ON IT!

FunkyStickman

As long as it's not Gentoo, I think I can use almost any distro.

Well, as long as I can use Smart on it for package management.

Which means Suse, RedHat, and all Ubuntu flavors.

FunkyStickman

I'm in the process of finding it and re-uploading it. My hosting got moved after a server crash a few months ago. I'll have it back up by the weekend (possibly even the ISO files as well).

FunkyStickman

I'll go against the grain and say SuSE on this one... it's got a nice system-wide control panel that Ubuntu doesn't have. That's all.

FunkyStickman

I agree with most of you, I think the \"Fairness Doctrine\" is a load of excrement. Obviously a thinly disguised attempt to shut people up. Deidel, there's a few issues I wanted you to chew on from your rant (for lack of a better word). I'm not even going to say I'm arguing, because I don'...

FunkyStickman

Ubuntu isn't bad... I still prefer Suse because of the system-wide control panel. I did run across the UbuntuCE, and I wasn't impressed with the software list. I was surprised at how many of the more common translations and paraphrases of the Bible that the library was missing. Good effort, but need...

FunkyStickman

As soon as I can snag a hold of a copy of Doom3 (I just recently even got a machine that could play it) I'll give it a shot.

FunkyStickman

Has this been tested with Linux Doom3? If not, would you guys like a alpha/beta tester?

FunkyStickman

That is a sad, sad story. The Illinois Department Of Revenue needs it's head knocked around a bit.

When it comes to politics, it's all about the money.

Biodeisel rocks.

FunkyStickman

I think that's the only thing left and right wingers can agree on... politicians suck!

FunkyStickman

The inertia idea is indeed cool. I guess you could make it a checkbox option, for those who like it or not.

FunkyStickman

The system is no longer functioning as it was intended. Republicans and Democrats are both trying to get away with as much as they can. They only see the war in Iraq as a way to increase their political leverage. If they actually cared, they'd do something about it. Four thousand people every year d...

FunkyStickman

Man! Look at all those beige computers! Brings back memories, indeed. I didn't spot any 10Base-T coax lying around... but I wouldn't be surprised.

FunkyStickman

I'll admit it, I was bored too. The problem with this kind of legislation (whether it's real or not, it's been tried before) is that by \"helping\" a certain small percentage of people, they're creating frustration and more work for the 99.99% of the population that didn't have this proble...

No, but I do like the idea.

What about just going through doors? That would be *wicked*!

Just out of curiosity, Psionik... does the X-ray punch go through walls?

FunkyStickman

That's a cool idea... I always thought the color variety in MW4 was pretty cool.

FunkyStickman

I really like this, Verran. The drums have this grotesque distortion to them in places... I like it. The vocals aren't bad, either

FunkyStickman

So it actually plays multiplayer okay? Can you start a game and fly around, but it gets a GLX crash when you run single player? That's really odd. First, are you using Beryl, GLX, or anything like that? If you're not using GLX for the 3D desktop, then I'd uninstall GLX and see if that fixes it. Next...

FunkyStickman

Since its going to have music, make sure you have the choice of rock-type music, and some old MIDI type tracks, for those of us who don't care for rock, or whatever Redbook is considered. Redbook is what they called actual CD audio, instead of MIDI tracks... remember back when games had nothing but...

FunkyStickman

I have given them an itinerary of things to complete and we have to give them more time. Things look good and I guess I could put together some sort of teaser but I really just want to blow your socks off with the next update. Psionik, I'm going to go out on a limb here, but I really believe in wha...

FunkyStickman

That has got to be the funniest \"remake\" I've ever seen! Now I need to watch it again. Then I'd have to show my \"Oh-Face!\"

FunkyStickman

Indeed. Up until now, you could only get Linux on a server product, if you were lucky. I'm not a huge fan of Ubuntu, but it works, it's Linux, and more importantly, you can play Descent on it!

FunkyStickman

That's probably because the soul does not exist. It's a figment created by the action of neurons in your head. When they stop working, you die. The end. Goodbye. That's a rather pitiful way to look at things. However, in your case, they might have started not working already... you might want to ch...

FunkyStickman

Well, from what I understand, Munk's checksum fixer doesn't work on co-op (and obviously single-player) so it would work if the levels check out okay... I haven't tried it, and until I fix my Linux machine, I'll have to wait and see. On the plus side, I ordered the parts to fix it today. Newegg FTW!...

FunkyStickman

I played Forsaken (still have a copy) but the flickering lights gave me headaches. So I just use the audio from it for taunts in D3. :D On topic, I don't think I've ever played D3 (or D2 or D1) in co-op. However, since I run it in Linux, I need to find another Linux player to play with... Xamandir a...

don't blame the poor for your tax rate blame your military spending. The problem isn't either "the poor" or "the military". The problem is the way the government just doles out money to anybody and everybody like there's no tomorrow. IIRC well over 50% of government spending is ...

FunkyStickman

I almost hate to think about the amount of money that's getting spent in the U.S. right now... Sadly, no matter how high they jack the tax rates up, they'll find a way to waste it. As much as I hate to say it, the only way out of this death spiral is to severely cut government programs, and that's n...
