Postby Bumba » Sat Nov 27, 2010 16:46

hi guys, i used to be playin on Windows 7 before on PS, but i have installed a second bootsystem, ubuntu linux 10.10

most of you know what it is, but here is my question

i understood that the ETKEY stores your name, XP rate, etc
and i would like to play ET on linux nao ^

my question is, can i port the etkey from windows to linux, if yes, how ?

i think it could be like this:

1. copy your etkey from your etmain folder to usb memory stick or something like that
2. install wolfenstein enemy territory in linux, dunno how but there should be topic about it on forums
3. paste your et key from memory stick to your linux etmain folder
4. connect to prime squadron servers
5. enjoy

it should work, but if not please correct my formula ^^

You can also save your etkey on your e-mail account.
That way you always have it and you can acces it whenever you want to.

i think etkey itself should work for any operating system, but ofc you need different installers for rest of the game, can be found on our download section :)

etkey has no extension... so yep, it doesnt matter on which operating system you use it ;)

I have my ET installed in home/(username)/.etwolf/etmain , I think you can find it there :)

I think there is a topic somewhere in Techzone, search for it ;)

Also you could try the Software Centre on your PC when you click Applications, but Im not sure if that is on 10.10 also... I think I have 10.04 .
