help ,I'm addicted !!!

[MaximB]

yesterday I've downloaded a client for a free online RPG game named knight-online
the BIG problem is it's just for windows
the do not have a client not servers for linux.
and b/z of this I spent to many hours on Bills OS.
I can not stop playing it.
I'm writing thouse words only b/z the servers down for weekly Maintenance.
I have to warn you - this game is addictive
not not look for it !
it's very similar to world of worcraft and it's completly free !
I playing before a linux online game named eternal lords and some other online rpg game I can't remmember it's name - and this game beats them by a long time.

help ! I'm addicted !
I must stop playing this game !

[slimdog360]

that game gets very old after a couple of weeks. particularly after you realise how manys cheats there are playing it.

[MaximB]

well , I never use cheats in this kind of games
It's just not fun
but this game Rocks !
I'm very sad that there isn't a linux version for this game...
a beat my record : I'm using winxp for over 3 hours without logging out.

Have you tried planeshift ?www.planeshift.it/
this one could give you satisfaction too.

What is better between : world of worcraft , knight-online , or planeshift ?

The most enjoyable one ?
Or Oblivion soon Online ??

:-k

[Artificial Intelligence]

Tried with wine?

[MaximB]

I've tried planeshift
not so bad but lake of action and monsters
WOW - don't have the money
knight - owseme game...
tried to run it with wine but got error
and still - they don't have servers for linux.

[Artificial Intelligence]

A good idea is to send them a good E-mail and requesting a linux client and why etc. etc.

Looks interesting to give it a try !!
I didnt like really much the planeshift engine, and also eternal lands... I wasnt too happy.
Morrowind is really nice, but unfortunately it's not online. It runned well under linux.

You might try cedega, or maybe cvscedega, to install the knight online game ?

I looked your game but no knight online in linux gamers: http://www.linux-gamers.net/modules/wiwimod/index.php?page=HOWTO+INDEX+Wine+Games&back=HOWTO+Home

[Gtaylor]

Last I saw, Planeshift was still so young that it wasn't much fun to play just yet. I'm not sure if this has changed in the last 6 months or not.

[MaximB]

here are a few links to knight online :

Morrowind is really nice, but unfortunately it's not online. It runned well under linux.

How did you run Morrowind? Cedega or wine?

[Artificial Intelligence]

There's a loki wine installer: http://liflg.org/?catid=7&gameid=38

[patrick295767]

There's a loki wine installer: http://liflg.org/?catid=7&gameid=38

Indeed, morrowing with Loki. Loki installers are really impressive piece of work !
The only problem I found is with gta san andreas with the loki. Didnt have time yet and courage to look at it...

[ZylGadis]

AI, I'm well aware of Loki's installer. It does not work. I mean it does install the game, which then does not work in wine.
Is there somebody who can produce definitive evidence that Morrowind does indeed work in wine?

[Artificial Intelligence]

Well, it works for me. The Intro are a bit choppy, but hitting <esc> several times did the trick.

[Szurgot]

looks and sounds pretty good I'll have to try it out when i get my copy of windows up and running again

[patrick295767]

I am downloading your windows game. Still one hour of dwld.
The screenshots looks nice inded !
That's crazy taht's freee and only for windows. hmm

I hope that cedega will do it well.
I'll let you know the results !

[patrick295767]

Nice looking game ! http://www.knight-online.com.my/images/screenshot/lunar_war01/lw01_pic26.jpg

Now, the game is installing via cvs/cedega... It takes ages to copy / install the files (particularly the items stuffs):rolleyes:

[patrick295767]

Not easy to play with it once installed
The cedega says no way.
Wine gives better results. It needs mozilla active X installed.

hmm

Cheers

[tribaal]

Hum the screenshots really look nice... too bad there is no linux-native version of the client, that's really a show-stopper for me. Any idea where I could sent an email to request for one?

Is this game open-source? If it is, we might try to gather other coders around this and modify the client to run on linux ourselves...

Cheers

[MaximB]

if you would manage to run knight-online with wine
is it possible ?
I mean - the servers are made for windows
like plane-shift : there are servers for windows and one server for linux that heppens to be down most of the time...

I think that gaming wiht Linux is kind of without any hopes

I am always loosing lot of time trying to find out the way how to configure to make it. Then, we can play, but after one hour
I think that really enjoying gamign with linux is hopeless
Loosing hours for somethg thta would take 2min in windoze.
:sad:

I'll try again today with wine

i fully agrre with patrick... i played the game on windoze and really good, but considering that wine can't run even simple games i really doubt that it's possible to run it.

[patrick295767]

Did you also tried : http://www.glest.org/en/downloads.html ,
it's free

LUCKY !
There is a loki installer : http://liflg.org/?catid=6&gameid=58


(If you find a nice webpage reviewing all free online World gaming, that could be nice too)

you know what bugs me the most ?
there are LOT's of FREE online-rpg games

but why couldn't they make a linux client ???
is it that hard ???

That's indeed annoying and the worst is that
WHO developped free program / open sources code for apps :
LINUX !

Results: Windoze is having all benefits of it

That's really the worst I think, no ? :(

[simukas]

did you try Mu online? It's like Diablo but better and i read that it can run on wine...

(By the way, you have others free in fantastic world online?)

[simukas]

you got the global link, but there are many private servers with higher exp easier leveling adn similar things. if you need one ask for me..

[simukas]

you can try Thang online with wine. It's a nice rpg too.

[simukas]

if those games didn't work try http://rakion.softnyx.net/download/client.asp

RAKION

[patrick295767]

Finally we know with what we can play knight online :

Using CrossOver Office
The way CrossOver Office lets you install programs is a bit different than I'm used to. Here, you select the product you wish to install and CrossOver Office either downloads the install files, takes them from cd, or asks you where they are (if the former two fail). On the other hand, I'm used to selecting the install files I want, and continuing from there. This may not sound very different, but there is one key difference, which is why (I believe) CodeWeavers chose to do it this way: With a list of products to install, the regular user knows what products will work and what he/she can install. The other way, users may install unsupported software, and encounter errors. CrossOver Office does, of course, allow advanced users to install unsupported software, but the important part is that they have made the process easy to use without sacrificing usability.

I installed a few simple applications, such as Adobe Acrobat Reader, Internet Explorer, and Windows Media Player, which all downloaded and installed without problems. After that, I decided to move onwards to some larger programs. I installed Office XP, Counter-Strike, and Knight Online. Both Counter-Strike and Knight Online are unsupported programs, but they both worked. Office XP worked too, but that is only to be expected; after all, Microsoft Office is CrossOver Office's flagship.

damn !!!
another great looking online game for free - but not for linux !!!
I'm gonna kill myself !!!

Indeed

Are you really sure that linux is open sources & free ? lol ;)
Certainly not for gaming ...

I hope that: wineX cedega crossover wine and loki
could merge to have sthg that is workign 100% and faster than windoze ... that's a dream :-|

[MaximB]

now we really can see the deffrence between free and open source.
big deffrence - isn't it ?

[simukas]

yeah i see it.. sadly linux doesn't have great games and the windoze ones don't work right..

[patrick295767]

Hi Guys !!

I managed to install Knight Online !! ;)
you have to touch a bit everywhere to make it.

Now, when I run the game, I get this errror message
****, I thought I could finally play but not yet

[MaximB]

well patrick....the deffrence is
that not everything that free is an open source
like you can see of this threads games
they are all great and free
but they are not an open source
and do not play under linux.
if they were an open source - you could create a client for linux and play.
did you get it ?

inform us with your prograss making knight-online play under linux.
and if you manage that - give as a detailed instructions

thanx ahead !

[simukas]

yeah.. that's really sad.

you could try tjis game too it's like Wow.. http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=5069

[patrick295767]

You know even with cedega, you wont be able to install allll games that are possible unfortunately:
http://cedegawiki.sweetleafstudios.com/wiki/Category:Not-working

Hoping that'll be even better.

[MaximB]

hi again patrick !
have you managed to run any of the free-great-online games covered in this thread ?
how is it runs ?

[patrick295767]

hi again patrick !

Hi Maxddark, I started, was in good progresses but during few days, no linux box :-(
I'll let you know soon ab. progresssess

And you, knightonline is it running ?

Look maybe in cvscedega (my post add apt-get -f -y install bison flex cvs before running script http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1121980#post1121980, then configuration of cvscedega :-k :-k :-k )or cedega

See you soon

[MaximB]

I don't have to money for cvscedega
my policy states - use free software
and I don't want to use it in the "free trail"
a week is no time.

[patrick295767]

cvs cedega is 0 bucks : it's 100% free.
You can give it a short try.

You can run some games already wihtout too much efforts.
I like this cvscedega for some easy installated games & oldies too.

Cheers !

[MaximB]

so why it's said it cost 40 bucks ?

[patrick295767]

so why it's said it cost 40 bucks ?

cedega=yes (you need to pay)

cvs-cedea = no (you just install it ; it's free; http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=193814&highlight=cvscedega )

[MaximB]

so what's the diffrence ?

[Artificial Intelligence]

cedegaCVS = minus the proprietary bits and cd copy protection code, easy setup, no voting for which games cedega should support non-free stuff which some of tha games needed to work etc etc etc.

[patrick295767]

cvsCedega is free, but this means you'll need to spend some time in playing around with files, dll, cd protections ... before playing.
If you have some time, it's fine.

If you wanna play effortless, you need to pay to get cedega, the roll's royce for Gaming !:D :wink:

I know of a great list of both free and non-free MMORPGs, since I've been looking ALOT for something that suits me (too bad that game don't exist :D ). I'll dig it up in a second.

EDIT: I present to you, the biggest and best games-list: http://www.onrpg.com/boards/free-mmorpg/907-biggest-best-games-list/

On that forum there is also a discussion-section for MMORPGs, a forum to request MMORPGs (for example those that works with Linux) and much, much more. (I'm the annoying salesman today)

EDIT2: By the way, what's with the "windoze"-thing? Why "-doze"?

Because Windows sucks, so we like to call it names. Just think of the little bloated fat kid in kindergarten. Kind of like that. Complete with bloat and all :D

And this one, have you eveer tried: (?)
http://www.knightfight.fr/?ac=vid&vid=65013932
what s ur point of vue ab. it max ?

[MaximB]

that's a cool game but there isn't much to do there.
you choose a mission , wait 7-11 hours make money and exp ... and buy stuff
but you don't actually play/fight
I don't like to much web based games.
the graphic is almost always poor.
