DescentBB

FunkyStickman

Reinstalled linux again, found the culprit. The package I installed that broke descent3 was libgl1-mesa-dev:i386. Now trying to figure out how to run descent3 even with that package installed... Also, there's no sound :/ The sound problem is pretty easy to fix: put "padsp" before "descent3" in your ...

FunkyStickman

I have no idea what happened, but I had to reinstall Linux for other reasons - and now descent3 is working. Even on the new install, I was getting that same error until I installed the libgl1-nvidia-glx:i386 package, which I installed because it was required for Steam as explained here: https ...

Hey, I'm getting the following libGL error trying to run this: lol@foldingmachine:~/Downloads/d3linux$ ./descent3 Could not load [/home/lol/Downloads/d3linux/imd.bmp]!

Annual bump. For Great Justice. Anybody here still playing? Tryin to,,,,play not getting this linux thing very well. good to see all the work and help you put out for us, Thanks You're welcome! I haven't had much time to play lately. I *did* get it working on my new machine, just haven't updated ...

FunkyStickman

I think it's time for me to update the Linux Files and HOWTO.

It's only been what, 15 years?

Geez I'm old.

Bump for great justice. Will update when it's done.

FunkyStickman

Annual bump. For Great Justice.

Anybody here still playing?

FunkyStickman

Hmm.... you running 64-bit? Did you delete the original folders?

FunkyStickman

Semi-annual Bump. For great justice.

File is still up, it has a different name, get it HERE:

FunkyStickman

All good points, I'll fix that as soon as I get the time. Thanks for the feedback!

FunkyStickman

No problem! Glad I could help. Any suggestions for improving it?

FunkyStickman

Probably need to make a symlink to your current libgl.so library. I had the same problem when trying to install it on my computer (with Ubuntu). The library is there, but D3 is looking for it to be named \"/usr/lib/libGL.so\" and the real file's name is \"/usr/lib/libGL.so.185.18.36\" or something ...

FunkyStickman

Just thought of this, make sure the level file names are converted to lowercase... if they're all uppercase or a mixture, D3 will crash (the Loki version is looking for all lowercase filenames)

FunkyStickman

I'm trying to remember which level 5 is... isn't that the mercury level? Can you hit escape and end the video early?

FunkyStickman

I ended up totally wiping my Wine installation and redoing it clean. :cry: Probably a good thing 'cause now I've got MS Word 2007 and MS Excel 2007 working perfectly (or so it seems so far). Any how ... Redid my Descent 3 install, but this time with the Loki files and without Wine. Works good so ...

FunkyStickman

Bump for the noobs!

FunkyStickman

The wife probably wouldn't mind going, it's my 4 kids that I couldn't handle the 8-hour trip with... though the two oldest love Descent.

FunkyStickman

Oooooh... only 8 hours from here, that would rock! Seriously doubt the wife would let me go for a LAN party, though...

FunkyStickman

I agree with Kilarin and some of the long-time players (being one myself). You won't get better by not playing, or playing guys who suck more than you... I played a stint of multiplayer for a few months (shortly after Munk came up with the Level checksum fix in Linux) and I sucked at first, but the ...

FunkyStickman

Agreed. It's only been, what, 14 years? LOL.

I updated the Howto and re-uploaded it. For everybody who's used it over the last 5 years, thanks!

FunkyStickman

Gah, forgot to add the part about symlinking the GL libraries with \"sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libGL.so.1* /usr/lib/libGL.so\"

I'll add that and re-upload it tonight.

FunkyStickman

Updated the How-To finally! Hosted the pack on my server. It contains only the Linux-specific files of Descent 3, you still need to buy a copy! This is for the people who own the Windows version, cannot find the Linux version, and want to play it natively without wine. Linux-Specific Descent 3 pack ...

FunkyStickman

I've used XFCE a lot, I like it a lot... but I liked KDE's features. Gnome wound up being a pretty good balance, so I stuck with it.

I don't see how people can use Enlightenment, they swear it's awesome, but I can't figure it out for crap.

Blackbox/Fluxbox wasn't bad, but it's very minimalistic.

Oh, and it's linux-native.

Awesome, I will try that as soon as I get the chance. Thanks!

FunkyStickman

Agreed, I took about 8 months off, but I am ready to get back into it.

FunkyStickman

I'm running a mixture of versions of Ubuntu, just installed 9.10 on a machine, haven't really had too many impressions on it other than visual differences.

Looking forward to 10.04

FunkyStickman

Good god, after all this time?? Wow... I don't know what to say. You can download the Linux-specific files from my website, I packaged them with a how-to because the Loki version is no longer available. The How-to is outdated, I'm working on that as we speak. http://jeffhendricks.net/D3-linux-files ...

FunkyStickman

I'm gonna necro this. Here's what I have to contribute: I had the problem with D3 not finding my joystick. I took at guess at a solution and it worked: Ubuntu puts your stick in /dev/input/.... D3 looks for it in /dev. sudo ln -s /dev/input/js0 /dev/js0 solved the problem. I'm gonna re-necro your ...

FunkyStickman

Man, makes me want to dust off the Killstck and play a few rounds!

FunkyStickman

Okay, I had to post this... a Youtube video of my 3D desktop in action.

Yes, I know I'm a geek...

FunkyStickman

I've used almost all of those distros at one point or another, but recently I've been really happy with Ubuntu (and its other flavors, with XFCE and KDE). Currently my 3 Linux machines are all Ubuntu.

God, I love Linux.

FunkyStickman

The hardware is NOT compatible with a regular desktop card.

However, if it still runs, you can use it as an \"extended\" desktop with a piece of software called Synergy.

FunkyStickman

It's true.

New year, new desktop.

FunkyStickman

I'm back, suckers! Rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated! Current desktop: socket 457, 1GB of RAM, geforce 6200. Ubuntu Linux. http://poshboxmods.com/Ultra-Micro/final-15.jpg http://poshboxmods.com/Ultra-Micro/final-14.jpg Upcoming portable PC, for carputing, LAN parties, etc. The case ...

FunkyStickman

Thanks for your patience. I have not updated the howto yet. I am working on finishing it soon, and I thank you for using it! I hope to see you \"in the mines!\"

FunkyStickman

Man, keep this updated... I wanna be in for the next one.

(EDIT) I'll be playing in Linux... is there a way to post the levels ahead of time, so I can check that they work with Munk's checksum fix? Or does it not matter?

FunkyStickman

Cheap video cards FTW! I've been rocking a geforce 6200 for over a year now.

FunkyStickman

I'm so far behind on game technology it's not even funny. My 10-year-old bought a $5 bargain bin game, and I don't have a computer that can run it... time to go shopping. Anyway, what I've been playing: D3: Linux (co-op with 10-yr-old daughter) Crazy Taxi for PC Mobil 1 Rally Championship Diner Dash ...

FunkyStickman

I had the same problem when trying to install it on my daughter's computer (with Ubuntu). The library is there, but D3 is looking for it to be named \"/usr/lib/libGL.so\" and the real file's name is \"/usr/lib/libGL.so.100.14.19\" or something like that. You may notice there's already a symlink ...

FunkyStickman

By the way FunkyStickman. Do you still have that program working that makes d3 linux show all the online games at once in the online game browser? I kinda lost it. Does it still work? Yes, Munk's checksum workaround adds that functionality. It's around here, and if you can't find it, I'll have the ...
