Source SDK In Xubuntu.

Technology and Gaming Help and Support
#1

Good day.
I have posted this in the ubuntu forums, but recieved no definitive answer to this question:
I have managed to run the source sdk using WINE, but hammer, (and the other utilities) run only to a certain point. That point is the starting screen. When I load a map (hammer) or model (HLMV), the screen goes dark, and I can only see the tabs/buttons for a few seconds, if I put my mouse over them. The visible tabs/buttons dissapear when I press the 3d/2d rendering window. I’m using Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope (9.04).
My PC specs are: 2gb ram/3 ghz core 2 duo/512 mb nvidia geforce.

If I can get a definitive answer, I will compile a detailed guide on how to get The SDK running in Linux.

Marked One.

Probably better off in the Help and Support forum. [COLOR=‘Red’]Moved.

The issue with Wine is that it is made for more simple crossover between programs, and Hammer isn’t exactly a simple program. To be honest, you’re better off trying to use it in a VM, probably much less of a hassle.

#4

Just a question, does hammer actually use source to visualize the 3d window?

[EDIT] IS there any free open-source VM?

Thanks, will look into it.

I’m leaving to boot camp tomorrow, good luck to the devs with the mod, and good luck to the forumgoers in general.
