I tested it when it was fresh, the 3d cutscenes work, the videos are not supported. Bink video could be played with ffmpeg, you would just need to force the aspect ratio, but it is not in the engine. -
Wow. Someone is using my app to get those games running natively on SteamOS
Nice!
@Kano
If you talk about the videos from Data Disks you collect in game, they work fine too. To be honest, I have not found anything missing in Doom 3 case.Comment

In the past, Linux users were not well-informed about many open source projects that required CD with a game for Windows/Mac. Additionally, most of these open source projects are not/were not included in the software repositories of Ubuntu.
Nowadays, many users have started to use Steam, Desura, GOG, and I think that many projects at GitHub, SourceForge etc. are worthwhile to use them instead Dosbox, Wine, and so forth.
Unfortunately, I noticed that many interesting games are not available on Steam, Desura, GOG, and so on.Last edited by gbudny; 17 March 2015, 08:52 PM.Comment

Guys... Jedi Knight: Academy runs better on Linux than it did on Windows for me now. What is this madness.Comment

Tomb Raider I, II and III is added on OpenRaider engine. I have tested it on TB III and wow, that is unplayable alpha. I hope it will get better in the future.
id Tech 3 engine is well known by open source developers. It isn't strange, that quickly many bugfixes, improvements and other stuffs were implemented. It is better then closed source version and I will make another engine update soon. Have fun.Originally posted by profoundWHALE View PostComment

Is Free Engineer modular enough to be easily made to support eg RPM-based distributions for the engines?Comment

This is really cool, although I have no use for it right now, still a big thank you!Comment

It depends. Adding RPM support for the app is trivial.Originally posted by nanonyme View Post
But someone will need to make sure, that those game engines are present in RPM repositories. Cool thing about Ubuntu is that anyone (including me) can have his/her own ppa repository and push there whatever he/she wants. In my case those are game engines (and dependencies which are not present or are old in Ubuntu repositories). All my files from ppa are installed in /opt directory to make sure they will not break anything in the system.

Well, we do have copr on Fedora which is very similar to PPA. I'm a bit reluctant wrt packaging engines though, imo it would be enough that it would just use system engines if available in repos and only advertise game for installation if so. I might be interested in maintaining such an appOriginally posted by makson View PostIt depends. Adding RPM support for the app is trivial.
