Aliens vs Predator Linux http://icculus.org/avp/
------------------------
This is an unofficial Linux port of the Fox Interactive / Rebellion
Developments game, Aliens Verses Predator.
The port is currently under development; it is not yet "suitable for
end users." Hopefully this status will change in the not-so-distant future.
Obviously this README is totally incomplete, and will probably remain so for
quite a while, so I'll just try to list a few important notes.
The original copyright statement for the source code:
"The source code to Aliens Vs Predator is copyright (c) 1999-2000 Rebellion
and is provided as is with no warranty for its suitability for use. You may
not use this source code in full or in part for commercial purposes. Any use
must include a clearly visible credit to Rebellion as the creators and
owners, and reiteration of this license."
Take that as you will.
You can find the original source code and other related tools at:
http://www.avpnews.com/mods/tools/
The source code that was released only works with Aliens vs Predator Gold.
In the future I'd like this port to support Gold, Regular and the three
demos. Plus, I am told that the Regular edition does seem to work by
renaming a file or two.
At least with the Gold edition, a number of files are encoded on the CD. So
you would need to install the game in Windows (VMware works also) in order
to get this to work. Currently wine does not work because it fails the CD
Check.
The full motion sequences cannot be played because they are encoded with
proprietary codecs (Bink and Smacker). But I do not think they will be
greatly missed.
More information about the game and the series can be found at

Last, but surely not least:
Thanks go out to Chuck Mason for testing and the OpenAL code, Dan Olson for
trying the code out with the Regular version, and Ryan C. Gordon for hosting
this project.
