Often people are reluctant to make the switch to Linux because of it's lack of support for Windows-only games. The Extreme Gaming for Linux project is writing code to make these popular Windows games playable in Linux using the popular WINE API. Emulated Half Life is the first of such scripts that enbles Linux users to play the game "Half Life" and all it's mods (inlcuding the popular CounterStrike) under Linux. Developers are needed to write code for more Windows-only games.
08/06/2000 STiNG of DEATH <ehl@coldfusion.4mg.com> -------------------------------------------------- - Rewrite of way scripts call engine. - Now each mod has its own frontend - Duplication of scripting in engine code minimised - Greater use of environment variables for easy modification - Valve AVI now cleaned up before ANY mod runs - GOT ALL CONSOLE AND MENU COMMANDS WORKING WITHOUT HANGING - GOT CD SERIAL GENERATION WORKING WITHOUT GLITCHES - Cleaned up user error messages - Script now destroys X server (all of them, need to fix this) - Added this changelog - Added extra intrinsic and internal documentation - Upped version to 0.2.0 10/06/2000 STiNG of DEATH <ehl@coldfusion.4mg.com> -------------------------------------------------- - Used new fancy awk script to strip and rebuild mode lines in xconfig - Completely reformatted echo outputs to make it easier to read - Put '' around spaces so they echo correctly - Removed all the clunky, best guess res engines. - Updated documentation, added 2 new sections, deleted an old one. - Upped version to 0.2.2 11/06/2000 STiNG of DEATH <ehl@coldfusion.4mg.com> -------------------------------------------------- - Updated the README file again - Packaged to ehl-0.2.2-1.tar.gz 23/06/2000 STiNG of DEATH <ehl@coldfusion.4mg.com> -------------------------------------------------- - Changed install file to install and configure XQF components - Recompiled XQF from source and hacked code so: - Writes and reads configuration from /etc for every user - Ignores save errors when saving into /etc - Hacked window title and about box - Minor changes to install file to improve clarity of output - Got install to try and install QStat package using rpm. - Patched awk script to mangle XF86Config to 16 bit colour 30/06/2000 STiNG of DEATH <ehl@coldfusion.4mg.com> -------------------------------------------------- - Implemented configuration file - Changed static paths with variables read from user configuration - Migrated most stuff to /etc/ehl - Reduced the amout of stuff stored / manipulated on the DOS drive - Removed all find commands from all scripts - Depreceated '-' in "ps -augxww" commands - Rewrote some error messages better - Balanced code between install and hlengine scripts - Set up script to try and automount dos drive as a last resort 02/07/2000 STiNG of DEATH (ehl@coldfusion.4mg.com) -------------------------------------------------- - Made a clear distinction between README and FAQ - Wrote new XQF instructions into README - Restructured README and FAQ 03/07/2000 STiNG of DEATH (ehl@coldfusion.4mg.com) -------------------------------------------------- - Packaged P1 of 0.3.0 but it is faulty.
The long awaited Emulated Half Life has been released. Emulated Half Life is a set of scripts to install and run the award-winning (but sadly Windows-based) action game on Linux under WINE. This is just one of the first games to be emulated in the Extreme Gaming 4 Linux project. http://eg4l.sourceforge.net/
