It does work under wine, and it can be made to run the native (linux) version of games.

emerge wine
emerge winesetuptk

run winesetuptk as your normal user
** make sure to set it to run in a window, not managed or unmanaged

to run a native game, put a symlink from game (or shell script wrapper)
into your virutal C:/program files/

eg, for quake3 i did:
ln -s /usr/local/bin/games/quake3/quake3 '/home/wine/Program Files/quake3'

execute allseeingeye installer with wine
do the normal install/setup

run allseeingeye (the actual program you just installed) with wine

add whatever games you have to show even tho they are 'not installed'

set the command line for the game to be the C:/Program Files/ you previously set,
eg for quake3, the command line would be C:/Program Files/quake3

take off your clothes* and frag naked
(*optional;)

Notes:
ase is a tad buggy, it may crash at various stages of the install and configure, but once its going it does fine

double click on the country flag of the the server to connect

set ase to quit when you connect to a server to free up the wine resources

i had a directory setup as /home/wine with phypor as the owner and told wine to use that as the C: drive... much better than the default winesetuptk ~/.wine/

I have a prob with xqf, there are no server listed.
If I add a server manually, xqf finds it and I can play on it, but it cannot reach the servers given from any masters.
Any ideas?

I followed your instructions, and it worked

ASE's auto feeding and filtering of servers is really excellent, and I really missed it for linux gamming.

I have 2 more questions:
- did you manage to get rid of the screen flickering in ASE every second or so?
- did you manage to get it to work with ut2003? It works fine for q3 but for ut2k3 it doesn't seem to do anything (with both final and retail, and using an "exe symlink" in the game dir to the actual binary.

thanks

well it does that to me with winex as well.

However with regular wine from portage it works fine

glad it worked...

reading your post, it just occured to me how little ive been playing any games lately...
i dint have much fliickering, no... the servers list seemed to screen update in a non-ideal manner, but it would ease up when the servers were quiet
as for ut2003... i havent even installed it yet (or even played q3ut in ages)... been so busy with work/distracted with other stuff.

my first reaction to it not working with ut2003 is ... that ase needs to update... have the ase auto updates been running ok?
maybe if they havent ... reinstall it in your windows enviroment to get the most current version which oughta have support for ut2003

yep my ASE is up to date, in the sense that it supports UT2K3 retail. Even the "Draw players name with game font works".

But I guess it's doing weird thing with the ut2003.exe for:
- I tried to replace the ut2003.exe that ASE uses with a small shell script to try to find out the command it was running,
#!/bin/sh
echo $* > /tmp/blah
But the file was never written

- also I tried dozens of command to get ut2003 to connect somewhere from the command line (ut2003 -open 127.0.0.1:7777 etc. but none worked).

My current method when I want to play with friends: find a server using ase, write the ip/port down on a paper, run ut2k3, start a game with bots to get access to the console, type 'open ip:port'
Doh! How convenient :/

doh I'm too dumb
I moved my ~.ut2003 (which was created by the demo) out of the way and now it works fine
