Linux

I have friend that would like to run a dedicated game server on a remote linux machine. Now the game(RvS) itself does not have a linux version.

So I am using wine to start the program. Most people who have gotten it to run on linux run it on a box they have access to. For it to run a configuration change is made as follows:

"GraphicsDriver" = "x11drv"
And change it to the following:
"GraphicsDriver" = "ttydrv"

After that I start the exe through a telnet session but get this error:


err:imagelist:ImageList_ReplaceIcon no color!
- fixme:ttydrv:TTYDRV_DC_StretchBlt (0x7c, 592, 0, 16,

I'm assuming that its because it can not spawn a tty session. I am wondering if there is way to force it not to spawn a tty but just the process.
Can one suppress the visual output?

well of course this depends on the game you are trying to host....
does it have a dedicated mode, like quake?

does running the game directly work?

The game has a dedicated server but its designed for windows.

Thats why I am tying to run it using Wine.

It will run on Wine this I know. Those who have gotten it to run, run it locally on a machine they have acces too. I am working on a remote linux server, I can only access the server through telnet or html. I am just wondering if would be possbile, basically all I want is for it to run in the background.

then you would have to find an option in wine to supress video...
or if your connecting via ssh make sure you are forwarding your x sessions and export your display.
