I have been getting this craving for some Mech2 (heck, I'd probably even buy the MSMech4-Mercs if it worked). Does anyone know how to make this puppy work under Linux? Or do I have to use a Grub option not seen in many months?
Any of the Mech series is appreciated. I've seen Mech4Mercs running on a buddy's machine and was quite impressed. I bought Heavy-Gear back before I knew Linux existed and found it to be trash by comparison. The Mech engine has always impressed me. Activision did a great job and even Microsoft's Mech4 looks pretty decent. I used CodeWeavers and got it to install in a very pretty fashion. But when I try to run the game I've tried several things and run into troubles. The latest (I skipped the "Splash" screen and moved right into the game) trouble is that it is telling me that I need to have my monitor at 256-colors or greater. I'm running 16 bit color in X, so I'm guessing this is some setting in Wine or a problem with Wine. I'm running an NVidia Riva card (Diamond Viper 330-AGP) but for the sake of getting it working at all, I chose software-3D this time around. If I can get it to work, then I'll try the OpenGL stuff. Or perhaps I should tackle the OpenGL stuff first? Might OpenGL require LESS of Wine rather than More?
