...well, that's it. I never realy was a heavy user, I just used Ubuntu for playing ET, but since Gutsy Gibbons a couple of years ago I got lost in Ubuntu related stuff. Now, I've just installed Precise Pangolin, and It's giving me a massive headacke as far as many things have changed and I haven't found a page or site which would give me precise instruction on how to install the game yet... I even been thinking on reinstalling Gutsy as far as I remember how to solve most of installing ET related issues there.
You Linux's ET players are my last chance to learn how to install it.
Hope you can help me... the summer is long, I'm on vacations and I don't want to waste 'em playing in Win...
Just with a trustful page you may point out I'll be more than thankful.
Greatings!

Ok... thx to cowboy I've manage to: Install the game, make the sound work and get a new etkey... sadly, I get kicked cause I'm not able to update pb, since evenbalance does not suppot et anymore. Does anyone know how to update pb "nowadays"?... in an ubuntu thread I've found that you should disable pb, and then...: "PunkBuster is now disabled in your game profile so enable it via the server browser. This will cause the updated PunkBuster libraries to be copied from the game folder to the user profile. " But I don't know what "so enable it via the server browser" means, nor how to do it... I can't belive I've gotten this far (after a month fighting with this) and I won't be able to play ET again in Lin

You both could share the guide for installing ET in Linux. It would be a good thread to stick on forums

I rather let cowboy decide that, Maci, cause the script made for dling and intalling the game it's not ours ... and I still can´t manage to update pb. I might say we are just followers, if cowboy allows me to say that of him ... In fact: I just hope our programmer (A good fella i've spoken to a couple of month ago in server) can help me with this pb update issue

ok there are 2 folders becasue of the 2 places where ET is i nthe linux sys. not sure if im makin sense but here goes. pb1 file goes in your .etwolf directory that is hidden on the desktop (rename both to "PB") pb2 folder goes into the directory that the game is installed into (mine is under etc/local/games/enemyterritory) - whicjh was the default location i dont know what the diff is i just noted they dont have all the same ffiles in each one...so i uploaded both. move your current PB folders someplace else until your sure this works, and replace them with these. Ounce you have it working you will no longer need the od ones and can delete. but i would keep them around till your sure it works this will give you all the updated PB nonsense ..lol www.mediafire.com/?q95kgkb1tze83ng pb1 www.mediafire.com/?sgl0y932umh6esb pb2

Besides of being greatful to cowboy for all the help and guidance (I've been able to install and play perfectly)... just one more thing: I strongly suggest that ppl DO NOT reinstall or delete ANY of their PB folders BEFORE they investigate about the problem with PB updates... I now know IT IS a problem in LINUX, but I bet it's been generating issues in WIN too. As far as I know, there will be NO UPDATES for ET by PB (which I myself checked out), and this goes for any other OS as you may learn from evenbalance page itself. So, my humble advice is to treasure your PB folders if you want to keep playing in the near future. (The ETkey is not a problem anymore, there is a page that goes around that issue). My 2 cents... Greatings! PD: I'd be more than happy to be wrong, so if anyone knows my information is wrong, plz share, cause this is a very concerning issues for those who have ET as their only game to play. Don't realy want to create panic (that's why I'm asking those who know about this stuff to get involved), just pointing this out and recommending (humblely, as a amateur user) to save your PB folders. ;D
