I brought RTCW: GOTY last week and found how to enable cheats for windows but how do I do it in Linux?

Thanks

sorry I can't help, but I have a question; do you need to buy two seperate versions of the game, or does the windows version have the linux binaries on the disc?

there are no linux cd's, you buy the windows version and download linux binaries

No. You don't have to go and buy another version of the game.

Download the Linux core program

wolf-linux-1.1b.x86.run

~9.2Mb,

Install and then just copy the .pk3 data files as indicated in the readme, from the RTCW windows directory to 'Main' directory created on the Linux side

get wolf-1.4 full and wolf-1.41-update

1.1b is beta, and he won't be playing online with that old version

What's the difference (if any) in speed, etc between playing RTCW on a linux box and on a Win box?

I have been running it on a P2 400, which is min spec for the game and it runs good.
In fact when I got the game I loaded it into windows and it locked up solid during opening credits.
Update.... then run again. Goes for 5 minutes and locks up....:mad: ...reset
Locks up in opening credits....reset

So I download Linux file and it runs good (remember its a min spec machine). I have been right through the game and it only failed maybe 4 times and even then it only dropped out to the desktop.

But speed wise there was no visible difference between Win & Linux. Provided you have your graphics set up right. Check it with glxgears ( I was getting 1250 fps with that machine, 2618fps with my new motherboard ) and glxinfo.

Good hunting.

Well I brought the GOTY edition so all I had to do was D/L the binary and install the disc. No installing to Windows, but I had to copy the pk3 files from the CDs
