Jagged Alliance 2
« on: May 07, 2014, 01:11:01 am »
I came across Jagged Alliance 2 in the Ubuntu Software Center and I'm also aware of the 1.13 user modification that is available.  I wonder if anyone has put these two together running natively as opposed to through Wine?

I don't know of a merge that runs natively on linux, but there is ja2-straciatella - which is continued here: https://github.com/gennady/ja2-stracciatella

it has a lot of fixed and higher resolutions - not sure about the latest feature they added - i haven't followed the development in the last 2 years.

Further research suggests that it is the Stracciatella project that runs natively on linux, and that it would be difficult if not impossible to merge the 1.13 modifications directly with that.  However, the stated objectives of the project are " to make Jagged Alliance 2 available on a wide range of platforms, improve its stability, fix bugs and provide a stable platform for mod development."  Focusing on that last point, if the project is open to user modifications, it may be possible to introduce the "spirit" of some (or all) of the 1.13 modifications without the difficulties of merging the two.

I played JA2 with 1.13 and that makes the game awesome.It has few minor bugs (sometimes crashing) but its running great.
