PLEASE give us info on a Linux Browser. I paid for an account almost a
year ago, and only got about 3 months use out of it because I threw out my Windows partition. Im sure there is a browser in existance, AW just doesnt want to support it (like many companies). Linux is not going away...more and more people will migrate to it, and if you do not support this user base AW will suffer. You dont need to support it; we can support ourselves. But give us the client. I will even volunteer my services of maintaining the code, I will even host the fileserver for people who want to download it. I have a permanent high-speed connection to the Internet, and am very capable of software maintenance. *Please* at least give us info on this topic. AW is lovely, and Id really love to go back. Im sure others would as well. Merc Linux BrowserFeb 8, 1999, 5:57pm
Andras,
Thanks for the info. Ill look into the Renderware situation. After posting yetserday, I found facter's post on running the AWB under WINE (the Windows emulator for Linux), and got it working partially. However, the side-panels dont work, nor do the menus (and i cant seem to get more than 16 or 256 colors, looks really awful.) I realise this isnt AW's fault, but it still leaves me hungry for a native version. Does anyone know where I could find info on the AWorld.ini format? If I knew how to change avatars, etc from this file some of the menus being inactive wouldnt be such a big deal. Thanks again. Merc [View Quote] |
