Games on OpenSuSE

Here are some games and some issues I came across

Jedi Academy
There is a port for Linux of Jedi Academy. However, I have the old Windows versions and it runs excellent in Wine, once you can make it work. So, here are the steps:

1) Make sure that your CD-Rom is configured correctly in Wine. Open WineCfg

2) Install the game (should not be any problems)If the game stacks when you should change the CDs, do the following:

   a) Create an ISO image for each CD an put it somewhere where you can find it (I created a directory in Documents

   b) Create 2 directories (ISO1 andI SO2) and then 2 virtual devices (one for each image) like this:

sudo mount -o loop /home/neklar/Documents/JediAcademy/jediAcdCD1.iso /home/neklar/Documents/Jocuri/JediAcademy/ISO1

sudo mount -o loop /home/neklar/Documents/JediAcademy/jediAcdCD2.iso /home/neklar/Documents/JediAcademy/ISO2

  c) Open WineCfg again and mount those 2 devices. go to advanced properties and specify that they are CD-ROMs

   d) Install the game

3) The Game's executables are jamp.exe (multiplayer) and jasp.exe (single player). You must locate them, because they have to be modified. Typically, they should be in Wine directory, like mine: /home/neklar/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/LucasArts/Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Academy/GameData/

4) A good editor to do the trick is Okteta. If you don't have it, install it (package okteta)

5) With Okteta, open the file jamp.exe. Locate the expression GL_EXTENSIONS %s , replace 's' with 'p' (should look like this: GL_EXTENSIONS %p ) then save. Do the same for jasp.exe. Start the game from one of those files (single player or multiplayer) and have fun!

For me, it works on maximum resolution and with all details, both single and multiplayer

Pay attention: There is a noCD pach (or crack ?!) for it, but it will not work with that.
