Thanks for all the comments everyone - they all helped in their own way. so I finally got Renegade to work using a WINE type program called CEDRIC or CEDAR ow wotever - it loaded - yeehaa I thought. Only to find out that it ran like a dog in single player mode. Undaunted I eventually got 1.037 to load as well - hurrah - this is on SUSE 10.1 64 - bloody hurrah I here you cry. It still ran like a dog - there is a head up display in the window it runs in giving fps as bouncing between 30 and 75 with dreadful lag spikes which made sniping interesting. So I thought no sweat I will just download and install the rend3d9 thingy to make it work with the bits and bobs for DX9.0C etc - no chance - could not find it on the net anyway. All in all a very interesting and heart rending experience. In short you can get the game to run on Linux with a bit of fiddling about - just not very well. The same machine running win xp pro runs an fps of 120 thru to 400 at 1280X1024 with all the nice bits turned on.
So now to make you all laugh - upset with monsieur Gates and the horrible way XP grinds to a halt every few months I thought I know - I will install Win2K - I always did like the clean lines a fresh install and after seven years of development it is quite stable - all this just to play Renegade mind you.
Have you got there yet??? Arte you chuckling out loud yet? You know what is coming don't you? Remember I brought this poxy win2k vanilla install upto SP4 before I deigned to muddy it up with an actual Renegade install - go on then tell us what happened next then..................
Buffer Over run - sob - just as I went to install Renguard - this prompted me to revist this thread where those in the know have littered the information about Renguard and win2k not working all over the place - only I have not read it till now...........................
How I detest the bloatware that is winxp
Blagh - happy new year everyone he said as he reached for the winxp pro install CD

As far as I know, renguard does not work on Linux/WINE (it does not even work on some win2k, win 64 bit systems).
