dal loro sito ho trovato una cosa interessante:
Pop quiz: what's always the most anticipated game under development?
Answer: the next one to be released by id Software. For those of you
living in a senseless void, id Software happens to be responsible for
thousands upon thousands of hours of lost productivity in the workplace.
(Or, as I used to like to tell my boss, it was responsible for keeping me
at my desk after hours.) They also happen to be ardent supporters of open
source software; many of their games have been released under GPL
licensing. They also support open interfaces, such as GL rendering rather
than DirectX and as such have been able to release Linux versions of their
games for years. Last week saw the release of Doom 3 and the eye candy is
simply marvelous. The Linux version isn't available yet, but some people
have reported it's possible to run the Windows version with Wine. Shachar
Shemesh translated a page describing how to run Doom3:
http://linux.israel.net/linuxgames/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=55
Translated into English:
War games: Yes, it's true, Wine can run the new DOOM3
Several days ago I installed Mandrake 9.2 and was very impressed
with Wine. This little program really does wonders. So I said to
myself "it can run small Windows apps, but there is no way it can
run Doom 3".
I did this:
cd /mnt/win_f/Doom3
and wrote "wine Doom3.exe", and what did my eyes see?
Yes, it is Doom3 running on my computer!!! And with pretty nice
graphics Linux should not be ashamed of, to boost! Only one little
detail - the in games movies won't work. It probably has something
to do with Windows' Direct X.
So there you have it. I hope that it will work for you as it has for
me!!!!
There is also a screen shot there.
So, if you want me to relay any questions to the user regarding how he did
it? :-)
I decided to do a bit of research into this, and found some related bits
(in English) at linux-gamers.net and Linux Games . Not too surprisingly, a
lot of people have been working on getting it going with Cedega (WineX).
However, reports of it working with Wine are very encouraging. Uwe Girlich
reported more details on what he found:
I just tested out DOOM 3 (no-cd-cracked version) with the current Wine
(CVS from 1 hour ago) and found the following problems on the game
console:
Couldn't find proc address for: wglSwapIntervalEXT
Couldn't find proc address for: wglGetPixelFormatAttribivARB
Couldn't find proc address for: wglGetPixelFormatAttribfvARB
Couldn't find proc address for: wglChoosePixelFormatARB
Couldn't find proc address for: wglCreatePbufferARB
Couldn't find proc address for: wglGetPbufferDCARB
Couldn't find proc address for: wglReleasePbufferDCARB
Couldn't find proc address for: wglDestroyPbufferARB
Couldn't find proc address for: wglQueryPbufferARB
Couldn't find proc address for: wglBindTexImageARB
Couldn't find proc address for: wglReleaseTexImageARB
Couldn't find proc address for: wglSetPbufferAttribARB
GL_ARB_texture_non_power_of_two not found
GL_ATI_fragment_shader not found (this is expected, I have a nvidia
card)
Cg not available.
Are these wgl* function difficult to implement?
Almost all computer terminals in the game show static black & white noise
(instead of some animated computer screen image). I suspect, that this has
something to do with the missing 'Cg' support in Wine (DOOM3 cannot find
cg.dll & cgGL.dll).
On the other hand, the rendering paths (r_renderer nv10, nv20, arb, and
arb2) are all more or less working (besides the noise and the too bright
lighting in nv10).
Lionel Ulmer recognized the calls that were failing. Some of them he
wasn't sure how to map to GLX extensions, but some he did, This is part of
one of my 'todo' project: adding support for PBuffers in the WineHQ tree
(I once started to study both the GLX and WGL extension set to see how it
could be done). Now that I know one 'high profile' application that needs
them, maybe it will motivate me more :-)
Ove Kåven had some tips on how to implement the functionality. Apparently
the missing stuff is enough to make the gameplay poor since the "computer
screens" Uwe described are an integral part of the game.
