TrueCombat:Elite (TC:E) by ” Team Terminator “  & Studio Groove Six is a modification to first-person shooter Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. Wolfenstein Enemy Territory is based on World War II & weapons and techniques of that time , TC:E modernizes all aesthetic elements of the game while preserving the fast-paced first person shooter style of gameplay compared to my favourite Counter Strike by Valve Corporation. Also in common with Enemy Territory, True Combat : Elite is cross-platform free software with clients for Linux,Windows & Mac OS X. TC:E remains popular and components of the game including maps and weapons are under continuous development .

TC:E puts you into the role of elite mercenary soldier in the conflicts of two internationally operating forces. Sounds cool ,isnt it

Game Modes :-

1. Objective -Each player is deployed(spawns) once per round. As terrorist,  the main aim is to plant a bomb at a specified bombsite and prevent enemy from defusing it till it detonates or to kill all enemies , all this inside a specified timeline . As a special operative, one aims to prevent the terrorists from achieving their goals by killing all the terrorists or defusing their bomb.
2. Body Count -Deployment comes in 10 second increments. Players that have been killed prior to a deployment are continuously redeployed. Yes, you can call it a deathmatch (kick ass).
3. Capture The Flag – CTF simulates the game of capture the flag: teams try to bring a flag back to their base from across the map. Unlikely R-obj (known as Reinforced Objective) the goal is to capture as many areas (marked by flags) as possible before the time limit, or the elimination of either team.

Gameplay :-

The gameplay is multiplayer & entirely online .

Known Issues

1)”VM_Create on UI failed “

Howto Fix :-

The libstdc++5  is missing. For Ubuntu 9.04 and lower, open terminal and type

sudo apt-get install lidstdc++5

Since there is no lidstdc++5 in Ubuntu 9.10 or higher, you need to install libstdc++6 and make a symbolic link to the library libstdc++5. To do that, open terminal and type

sudo apt-get install libstdc++6

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5

2) Server not starting :-

Try this :-

sudo apt-get install libx11-6 ia32-libs

and then try to run the server. It should work now.

3) Sound issues :-If you are not getting any sound in the game, then try the following fixes.

sudo apt-get install alsamixer

Enjoy the game !!

With the release of native Steam platform for Mac OS by Valve Corporation, there are a lot of rumours about Valve’s Steam platform for linux. However, there has been no proper confirmation of this from the Valve Corporation. Although, there is a native Linux version of the Half-Life Dedicated Server available.

But, for the time being , we will keep playing steam games on linux. How? The answer itslelf is Playonlinux.

PlayOnLinux (POL) is a tool to help Linux users run games and programs for Windows on Linux, via the use of (as a front-end for) Wine. When you install applications with Wine all your file are saved in the same prefix. This maybe isn’t a problem, until you realize a file in one program is messing up another program. PlayOnLinux uses different prefixes for all applications, so you can have specified configurations, settings and file-trees for each program.

One “easy” method of installing Steam is with Play On Linux.

Installing POL:

First download the latest version of POL here .

Or

Follow these steps to install via Terminal:

Open the terminal and type the following according to your Ubuntu version :

For Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx :-

sudo wget http://deb.playonlinux.com/playonlinux_lucid.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/playonlinux.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install playonlinux

For Ubuntu 9.10 – Karmic Koala :-

sudo wget http://deb.playonlinux.com/playonlinux_karmic.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/playonlinux.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install playonlinux

For Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope :-

sudo wget http://deb.playonlinux.com/playonlinux_jaunty.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/playonlinux.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install playonlinux

For Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex :-

sudo wget http://deb.playonlinux.com/playonlinux_intrepid.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/playonlinux.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install playonlinux

For Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron :-

sudo wget http://deb.playonlinux.com/playonlinux_hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/playonlinux.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install playonlinux

and done .

After successfully installing PlayonLinux, just navigate to Ubuntu main menu and Click Games>playonlinux and start the PlayonLinux interface.

Installing MS fonts:

POL at first run will start the Update and will ask you to install Microsoft Core Fonts on your computer.

1) Click Forward to install MS fonts.

2) Accept the license terms and click forward.

3) The installer will now download and install MSfonts on your computer. Click Forward to continue using POL.

Install Steam :-

1) Open POL and goto “Most Downloaded” to get the list of programs and applications which are most popular.

2) Clickthe Steam icon and install. Follow the steps and do as the installer instructs .

At the end of installation, the installer will ask you to create a desktop icon of steam and add steam to your main menu. Check both and click OK.

Install DirectX 9.0c:

1) After that, again navigate to POL and install DirectX 9.0c from the interface as the steam games require DirectX rendering.

2) Just Click Most Downloaded > DirectX End User Runtimes and follow the steps accordingly .

Logging in:

You have successfully installed steam. Now, its the time to game .

Login to Steam using your Steam ID by Clicking “Login to an Existing Account ” or create a steam ID using the steam interface by clicking “Create a New account “. Its free to register yourself on steam however Steam games are not free. Visit Steam Store to purchase the Games you want to play on Ubuntu.

After getting your games, just navigate to Steam interface and click “My Games”. You will see the games are available to download and install. Double Click the Game icon and  install it. After that, you are ready to Steam on Ubuntu.

Counter Strike 1.6 Steam in Ubuntu:

Uninstall:

To remove Steam, simply select it in the list and click Remove. Note that while the application and all its files and registry settings are deleted, currently PlayOnLinux may not remove all shortcuts to the application.You might have to do it manually . Just select the shortcut and press Shift+delete .

For any queries regarding this post or any other regarding ubuntu, ask here

Enjoy!!!

Note: Games run with this method will be slower than running them on Windows because the games are not native executables for Linux. To get the best performance we will need to wait for Valve to release a native Steam client.

Refreshing the Repository: If you are unable to find the application you want, you may want to refresh the local list of applications by clicking the “Refresh the repository” button. This will make sure you have the latest available scripts.

A couple of tutorials have been provided below which you might really need.

[Tutorial] Host a server – [SERVER] Complete guide

Wine as we all know is an Opensource implementation of Windows API to linux .Wine can be used as a development toolkit as well as a program loader for creating a compatibilty layer b/w linux and windows applications .It can be used to run almost all Windows applications and games in linux platform. As we have already covered Wine in our previous postings, we are familiar with it but  the concern for a Wine UI still continues. And, now the wait is over.We are happy to inform our users that there exists a frontend named WineXS that gives a proper UI for Wine for installing and removing applications. Now , we dont have to rely on .dlls(wine has the ability to use .dll if available) and .exe’s . We can directly install softwares in wine using WineXS and remove them directly without going to a Windows machine. It gives user a full control over wine for installing , removing softwares, editing wine registry , file-management , installing system files , kill wine if it hangs out , user guide etc.

Installation Process :

For installing Wine ,please refer our Wine-post or one can also use Ubun-Student for installationof wine to your computer system.

Installing WineXS:

We at first download the file into the destination folder where we need winexs to be into say it is /home/user.

cd/home/user

sudo wget http://tsx.nl/files/winexs-1.4.2.tgz

Now, we need to extract the tar.gz file and then proceed the installation .

tar xvzf winexs-1.4.2.tgz

If everything has been done correctly, then we must be having a directory named winexs in /home/user. We now need to get access to that directory , for that type in :

cd winexs

Now to run winexs , type :

./winexs

and done.

Above UI is WineXS, the key for using wine to the fullest for non-geeks and regular users.Install whatever you want , use it the way you want! IMO , this is actual computing power

Njoy.!.

TORCS (The Open Racing Car Simulator) is a highly portable multi platform car racing simulation. It is used as ordinary car racing game and as research platform. It runs on Linux (x86, AMD64 and PPC), FreeBSD, MacOSX and Windows. The source code of TORCS is licensed under the GPL (“Open Source“). It is an open source 3D racing simulator using OpenGL technologies. TORCS is designed to enabled pre-programmed AI drivers to race against one another, while allowing the user to control a vehicle using either a keyboard, mouse, or wheel input.

The Open Racing Car Simulator

Development of TORCS began in 1997 by Eric Espié and Christophe Guionneau as a 2D game called Racing Car Simulator (RCS). It was influenced by and based on RARS (Robot Auto Racing Simulator). When Espié and Guionneau acquired a 3dfx graphics card for game development, they made the first 3D version of the simulator with OpenGL and renamed it Open Racing Car Simulator (ORCS) so as not to be confused with the Revision Control System.Later, Guionneau added multiple camera angles during game-play. Guionneau developed much of the original graphics code in TORCS and eventually added texture mapping to give more detail to the cars. Espié then worked on piecing together and finalizing code for release.

The game offers a wide variety of real-life high-performance vehicles as well as Formula 1 racers and off-road rally racers. They are categorized by performance level and drivetrain configuration:

• Track Racers * Front-wheel drive
• Peugeot 406 * Rear-wheel drive
• Lotus GT1 (RWD)
• McLaren F1
• Porsche GT
• Dodge Viper GTS-R
• Jaguar XJ-220
• Ferrari 360 Modena
• Mercedes-Benz CLK DTM
• Ford GT40 Conceptual
• Acura NSX Type S-Zero
• Ford Focus WRC
• Ford GT
• Toyota Corolla WRC
• Mitsubishi Lancer EVO V/VI WRC
• Alfa Romeo 155 DTM

& many more.

INSTALLATION

Goto Add/Remove Applications and type in search box : TORCS (Remember to switch to “All Available Applications”) , check the result and download it. Synaptic will install it directly after download.

GAMEPLAY

In the menu , you will get to Jump to event or to make settings according to taste. The race menu contains a lot of Racing Options viz. Quick Race, Non-Championship race, Endurance Race, Championship ,Challange Race and Practice session.

You can configure players, select cars, customize them to your need and much more.

Now,

After getting the game, practice hard . As you evolve in the game , win more races , you can get more improved cars and faster fspeeds , good handling , more to choose from parts and body sprays . If i were a NFS player , i would be loving TORCS coz of its smooth touch drive, a messy but easily handlable Cars and a list of maps and cars to choose from.

Competition :

The biggest thing about TORCS is that it can be played on LAN and Internet both.The TORCS Racing Board hosts a competition on its website among players in the TORCS community.

Unlike traditional network multiplayer events in which players compete in real-time on LAN or Internet-connected clients simultaneously, the TORCS Racing Board is a competition between artificial intelligence “robots” developed and uploaded by users.So , go get it and start playing now. !

Wolfenstein : Enemy Territory is a first person shooter(FPS) action multiplayer game created by Splash Damage Corp. based upon reaction time , skills and strategy gaming. Its more like the other FPS games available these days in the market but what makes is different is its various Soldier classes , better graphics, kickass game modes and experience which you gain in the game.Enemy Territory was originally planned as an add-on for Return to Castle Wolfenstein, but soon became it’s own game, a separate entity with full single player, multiplayer, AI opponents and teammates. W: ET is a free, stand-alone multiplayer only product, which means it’s for online play only, but all you need is what you download.Featuring multiplayer support for up to 32 players, Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory is the ultimate test of communication and teamwork on the battlefield.

There are basically two teams : Allies and Axis (derived from WW II) .There are six officially released maps (North Africa Campaign: Gold Rush, Siwa Oasis, and Seawall Battery; Europe Campaign: Rail Gun, Wurzburg Radar, and Fuel Dump ).On each map, the offense needs to complete a certain set of objectives within a limited amount of time. The defense needs to keep the offense from completing objectives until time runs out. Some objectives may be optional, and some objectives can be carried out by either team.

There are some special classes of soldiers with different skills and strengths. Your skills will also improve as you advance in the game gaining experience called XP in game by your kills.  They are :

• Soldier : T he soldier is the only class that can use heavy weapons. They are: mortar, portable machine gun (MG42), flamethrower, and bazooka/Panzerfaust(sniper rifle).
• Medic : The medic has the unique ability to drop health packs, as well as revive fallen players with a syringe.
• Engineer : The engineer is the only class which comes equipped with pliers, which can be used to repair vehicles, to arm/defuse (dynamite or land mines), or to construct (command posts, machine-gun nests, and barriers).
• Field ops : The field ops is a support class which has the ability to drop ammo packs for other players, as well as call air strikes  and artillery strikes .
• Covert ops : The covert ops is the only class which can use the scoped FG42 automatic rifle, the silenced Sten submachine gun , and a silenced, scoped rifle.

The given list contains the weapons of destruction and will lead to total pawnage .I advice you to show No Mercy coz your enemy won’t show any. Take a look :

Weapons:

• Sniper rifle : Panzer
• Sidearms : Knife
• Pistols:Colt 1911(allies ) and Lugar (axis)
• Submachine guns:Sten , FG42, MP40 and Thompson.
• Rifles:K43 and M1 Garand.
• Medic pack(not a weapon but will heal you and provide you additional strength for combat in tight conditions)

Depending upon your choice and skill you can pick any of the guns depending upon the choice of the class(soldier) you select.

• Objective: Instead of playing an entire Campaign, teams will fight and accomplish objectives on single maps. The first team to complete all of their objectives within the time limit wins.
• Stopwatch: Race against the clock to complete objectives in the shortest time possible. At the end of the round the teams switch sides and must attempt to beat their opponent’s time from the previous round.
• Campaign: Teams compete throughout a series of maps, with Skills and Ranks being carried over to each level of the Campaign. This is the game mode where you get to really watch those hard earned Skills and Ranks build up!
• Last Man Standing: Its a Deathmatch! In LMS your only objective is to fight to the death. You only have one life, so you may want to stay in healing range of your team’s Medics! Once you die you will be able to watch the rest of your team in action.

This is all.Rest you will learn after you play the game and evolve accordingly.

Go!  get your clans together , storm the front and Give them Hell….!!!
