If this has been asked before my search-fu failed to find it.

If this game really aspires to be the next Steel Panthers, it needs a PvP mode. Are there any plans to develop one? Perhaps based on the WEGO optional mode?

Supposedly WitP:AE works in wine, so maybe WPO would, too?

EDIT- though, on WineHQ forums a guy named Morgoth posted in AUG2010 that he was having problems. Is that you?

Don't yell at me, but...

A Linux port.

Yes, you have not heard me actually ever <I><s>[i]</s>speaking<e>[/i]</e></I> in English. Anyway you should be prepared to take at least some of your words back. My English is an horrible mixture ...

<t> Well, I can't get the damn thing to run in Cedega, either, even though they list it as a supported program. I keep doing everything the (very anemic) help file says to do and all that happens is my screen goes black for a couple of seconds. I have a support request in to them, but from reading ...

Hi, I'm back in town again.

I looked into Cedega a while ago, and yes I see that they list SPWAW as supported, but isn't it a monthly fee service? I'm not thrilled about paying $5 per month just to play an otherwise free game. Ot\r can I just buy it once?

<t> Here's an example of trying to run SPWAW with Wine as I have it configured:<br/>
<br/>
[dean@localhost ~]$ wine c:\\MatrixGames\\SPWAW\\mech.exe<br/>
The instruction at 0x0054f7eb referenced memory at 0x00000010.<br/>
The memory could not be read.<br/>

So my ...

My dad's side of the family used to have a little communal hunting cabin up near Titusville. They have since sold it and rebuilt in the Allegheny Mountains outside Uniontown. I haven't been back east in 3 years or so, but I keep ...

<t> Hmm, Shippensburg, eh? Isn't that near Letterkenny? I'm originally from Elizabeth, south of Pittsburgh.<br/>
<br/>
Yeah, as I mentioned I'm working on Wine. I am, however, running into the usual beginners problems with Linux- mainly that there is a steep initial learning curve. Also, although ...

<t> Ok, ok, I know that it is not commercially viable but someone (a better man than I) really needs to make a SPWAW version that runs on Linux. Assuming, of course, that Matrix's liscence permits it. This need not be a Matrix member, just give the code to some diehard Linux weenie and let him run ...

<t> Does anyone have a handy booklet (a few pages) with all the useful charts from the full manual? For instance:<br/>
<br/>
Effects of Patrol/Do Not Retire vs Retirement Allowed on various mission types<br/>
Capacity point usage for various ship types carrying cargo<br/>
Amphibious capacity of ...

<t> Egad, I think it was early 2001. My college room-mate and I had comitted finals seppuku playing SP (SSI versions) instead of studying for several terms in a row. I got on the net and did a search for SP to look for patches and voila! Matrix pops up!<br/>

I have been mostly a SPWAW junkie ...

I feel for you, 509th Bob. I joined 8/8/2001 and I'm still just an FNG, too.

<t> I've been looking for a "Harpoon in space", or better yet a "688i Attack Sub in space", for a very long time. Decades, not years. So I feel for you- I am a hard SF snob, too.<br/>

The game just doesn't exist, though. It probably never will. <br/>

I think the sounds can be troubling at times. For instance when my wife hears them as she passes my office door she knows I'm not studying. Thus I often play with the sounds off, my monitor turned away from the door, and a stack of papers in front of me.

I immeasurably prefer C&C ON. I believe that this is after all a WAR game, not a chess match. Innumerable sources testify to FRICTION in war. It's part of the game.<br/>

<t>I visited the Ordnance Museum at Aberdeen a couple of years ago while I was stationed in NCA, and was frankly disappointed at the condition of some of the displays. Primarily it was the vehicles left to rot whitewashed on outdoor concrete slabs. I recall there being plans to build a large indoor ...

<t>I served four years enlisted active-duty as an electronic warfare technician with the 511th MI Co / 11th ACR in Fulda, Germany, with a small detour to the Persian Gulf at the end of the war. Blackhorse! Then reserves in college doing the same job for the 99th ARCOM, after which I went to USUHS ...

<t>Have you ever read Charles Winchester's "Ostfront: Hitler's War on Russia 1941-1945?" It is an admittedly superficial examination of the subject, but he seems to dwell extensively on the issue of collaboration in the occupied Soviet Union and how the Germans succeeded in alienating many who would ...
