 Hmm, I'm running MOHAA, and I didn't use WineX or Windoze... I used this 
 installer:
 
 http://www.icculus.org/~ravage/mohaa/

Cool, I didn't know there was an installer! But you'll notice it does appear to 
be using the beta binaries that we're talking about here, IIUC.

 and although it took awhile, (and I've not been playing the game long - just 
 got it yesterday) it seems to work pretty good. Note this installer is for 
 the US version only.
 
 PS Did anyone else have fun/trouble trying to lob the damn grenade into the 
 last box/target during training? Sheesh... :-)

I haven't gone through the training part in awhile...I'm gettin' pretty good
with the 'nades though. I love tossin' one through those MG42 ports, and hearin'
the Oh shit! (in German of course).

On a similar note, good luck trying to actually finish the game. At the very
end, the boxcar doors didn't open for me, so I just got shot to shit.

In any case, thanks for the tip!

 Hey Joe .. thx again ...  
 Wow!  what a difference 8-)

Ya, I can run it at 1024x768 now, with more model details, and it's smoth.

Isn't this just the best First Person Shooter *ever*? I've played through the
whole game about 8 times now, and I never tire of it.

 Cant wait till the sound works better.
 I even found Freespace 2 installer  Kewl ! 

Ya, I snagged Freespace 2. Very cool game, but I just get lost with all the
controls. I gotta invest in a decent joystick, I'm sure it's a lot more fun that
way.

 Well, you need to install MOHAA on Windows, then copy the data files over,
 or install it using WineX, then just untar and copy the Linux binaries into
 the root dir.

[newbie] MOHAA Linux Client

2004-01-25 Thread JoeHill

For those not on the MDKGames list, I just wanted to point out there's a new
beta (2) of the Linux client for MOHAA.

Playing MOHAA natively in Linux. M.

*And* the README hints at support for Spearhead as well!

Check it out:

http://icculus.org/news/news.php?id=1846

I upped some screens of the Normandy Landing on Franki's screenshot site here:

http://htmlfixit.com/mandrake/games/gallery.php?id=3

If you own this game...or, um, have it...somehow... it runs like a dream, in
fact I think the graphics are a lot nicer in Linux than playing under WineX.

[newbie] MOHAA

2003-08-25 Thread HaywireMac

Now that MOHAA is working (somewhat) under Linux, i wonder if anyone can
point me to a cool icon for the game. The one that comes with it is
kinda small and lame, you know just kinda a grey metal logo about half
the size of a regular icon.
