Get the Devastation Beta1 Linux Client off 3DGamers (4mb)

This is a first beta of the Linux client for Devastation.

To use:

1. Get the retail CD.
2. Install it on Windows (yuck!)
3. Patch the game to version 381.
4. Copy the installed game to your Linux or FreeBSD-with-Linux-emulation box.
5. Unpack this archive in the game's System directory.
6. Run "echo XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX > cdkey" in the game's System directory, where all those Xs are your valid CD key. CASE IS IMPORTANT. THE DASHES ARE IMPORTANT.
7. Run "./devastation-bin" from the game's System directory.

Hopefully we'll have an installer for this that doesn't require Windows before the end of the beta.

If you just want to host a server and not actually play the game, there is a separate dedicated server available, which does not need the game discs. That is not this package. Check http://www.devastationgame.com/ for download details (there is a separate server admin mailing list, too).

Please do not send bug reports to my inbox. Use bugzilla.
