Happy Birthday you effer

I am a big Linux guy myself, but I understand where they are comming from. Licensing for the physics system they purchased from what I understand (could be wrong) only inlcuded one OS, which means they would pay extra for Linux. Also, they would have to either learn more about the OS if they haven't developed for the platform before, or else hire another developer to help out. This is a small dev group, nothing like Epic Games or id Software, they are much more limited. Now, if they already had the experience, then it mainly comes down to who is calling the shots, and that is really VUG, not Irrational.Close, but not quite. If it was available for Linux would have licensed it for Linux. I pushed them (havok) to port it, but they said they had no plans for it. If it had been available, we most definitely would have done it (server, not client).

At this point, if it becomes available for Linux, VUG would have to make the decision to buy the license and pay for the development to create it. It could happen, but I wouldn't hold your breath.

Now how about some tools for the server so we can make it useful?

Or a server that doesn't kill a 2.4 Xeon.

Thanks, Thrax. Looks like their old web page (http://oldsite.havok.com/news/releases/02-05-01.html) was lying, after all.

Well, thats weird, since this link (http://oldsite.havok.com/products/) (yes I know its to there old site) mentions Linux support for the SDK? Did they make a new version and drop support or something?

Oops, I guess I am rehashing the same post as above.

Is there any eta of a fix on the dedicated server beta for screwing up the Forcefields and other gizmos on custom maps?

Has anyone gotten the server demo recordings to work yet with the dedicated server?

I don't understand Thrax, maybe I am just heavily biased.. but I wouldn't run a windows server just for security purpose, let alone a GAMING server that's goign to be prone to attacks no matter what..

How you can NOT have linux dedicated servers?! ?!?!?!?

thrax doesn't work for them anymore.

umm, any news on the linux server?

News?! From VUG/IG?! :no:
