Jesus Christ I haven't played Soldat in years...
« on: March 08, 2012, 01:41:53 am »
I started playing Soldat around 2007-2008 I believe, and was an active member in this fine community, though I doubt anyone remembers me. I had started learning to code through this game, writing my own scripts in pascal and also I remember setting up a server me and my friends used to play on. I downloaded almost every one of Dairy's mods for the weapons, and had my weapon load outs in categories like European terrorists and U.S. Marines (Dairy's mods for weapons were absolutely amazing, I still can't believe how much work was put into them). I played online on the few good American servers just about everyday after school, made my own maps, and became a lover of these forums, for their soldat and non-soldat related topics. This community was awesome.

This post was mostly for nostalgic purposes, I may start playing again, but my laptop for college is a Mac  :( . I just wish I could go back and never stop playing this game, because it was really improving my computer knowledge greatly. I hope to get back into this game, but first I'll have to get it running on my Mac.

So, I know if I wanted to play I would have to either install Windows or a Windows emulator program. But would Linux work? I have very little experience with Linux, but I figure since this community has been so helpful in the past that they could help me out once again to get back into playing Soldat. How do I download and install Linux, and then get Soldat running on it, if that is even possible.

Thanks for reading guys, you're all awesome.

Oh, after some quick browsing of the forum, I remembered it was Dairy's Deadly Arsenal 2 that I had downloaded and used extensively :)

I  believe at the moment you have little chance of getting it to work smoothly on a MAC due to the way MSAC and the new hardware IDs work for playing online. But you might be able to get it to work with bots...

just pm shoozza everyday until he releases a linux version :>

MSAC will not be included into 1.6.3 as Mr hasn't finished it yet. And zakath fixed a few wine issues with hardware IDs, so actually his chances are not so bad.

The only way I know is wine and crossover.
WINE 1.4 was just released a few days ago. I'm not sure if it runs soldat better now.
Can't say anything about crossover because I don't have it.

Also FalconPL has the sourcecode now so you can pm him too :D. Actually if it would be easy he probably had a linux version ready by now :P

Playing Soldat on Linux is a joke. If you really have a mac, torrent Win7 and dual boot.

Shoozza, you misunderstood me a bit i think. I didn't say that making native linux version should be easy. I said that there's a good chance that it'll run trough wine emulator.
