Where SMAC(X) stands for Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri (Alien Crossfire)

I've been running a copy of SMACX installed in Windows on my C:/ partition
from linux (Ubuntu 10.10).

After mounting the windows partition I only had to make the following changes to
Alpha Centauri.ini to play the game:

Code:

eax=0
ds3d=0
ForceOldVoxelAlgorithm=1




I haven't tested it much at all, but it seems to run with the minimum of
errors. I noticed that the fonts in many dialogue boxes are either the wrong
font or the wrong size (maybe both, couldn't tell) and certain orders that
produce a click tone for confirmation cause that tone to be played repeatedly
for the rest of the turn, you can stop the clicks by toggling the SFX volume
slider.

In SMAC (without expansion) sounds don't seem to work at all, videos
don't work in either game.

Playable, though.

Didn't test network multiplayer, hotseat/PBEM seems to work.[/code]

Glad to hear that it's working, but it might run even better if you just
installed it directly in Wine.

Also, you should post information like this to the AppDB, not the forums.
