i installed the editor onto a windows pc and did the updates. i burned that installation to cd and copied it over top of the installation folder in my .wine directory. now the editor runs fine with all updates.

i agree. At least some news about the plans for linux/mac would be nice. we know that 95% of the technology used should not be a problem in porting, so just a hint if it's still on the list of possible things todo would be nice. I mean, i can accept a clear no, i prefer that to no news that leaves speculation and then there is nothing in the end. But please please please.. make a linux version happen..
Oh I'd love to buy that Overgrowth NS2 pack but only if I know for sure, that a Linux version of NS2 will ever happen. Will it? Help me for a decision there, as soon as I know there will be a Linux version, I'm buying it immediately!
Bought Overgrowth some months ago because of Linux support, and now, surprise, I have both the standard and the special edition natural selection! Hope this bundle makes what it takes for this timid linux thing get support by unknown worlds :)
I was waiting for confirmation before pre-ordering, and now I have it too. Makes me feel really guilty because I didn't <i>pay</i> anything: on the other hand if there's no Linux support I won't <i>play</i> anything either :-S
Wow, and I feel kinda ###### with, since I preordered NS2 but did not preorder Overgrowth (although it has a confirmed Linux client) yet although I had planned on buying it when released for Linux. I don't have Windows on any of my machines and so if in the end they decide that they don't want to release a NS2 Linux client then I'll feel totally ###### with... Why is there no vice-versa option, so that people who preordered NS2 get Overgrowth?
I read about this game today on holarse-linuxgaming.de (it's a german website), after some searching I found this thread and I just want to say: I want a linux client.
I'll prepurchase in the next minutes via the overgrowth/natural selection pack
I planing to prepurchase overgrowth/ns2 since I liked and played ns allot and ovvergrowth will have a linux client, however iam also a Linux user, most cases only uses windows for gaming so a Linux client would really be somthing for me and would really encourage me to buy this game for sure. :)
To be noted I also prepurchased HON heroes of newerth since they have a linux client.
I just preordered Overgrowth and NS2, at least in part 'cause I saw that the Wolfire team was working on a Linux client. I'm gonna run NS2 on my Windows partition ASAP, but let the records show that a native Linux client would make me super happy.
When you do a <u>Linux port</u>, then I will <u>buy it definitely</u>! As a matter of fact Im running only Ubuntu on my PC, and the gaming experience with wine is... lets say not satisfying.
Summing up, I will <b><u>not</u></b> buy NS2 for windows because it will be not playable for me with wine.
Edit: By the way --> When you do the Linux port, will you release the source-code so we Linux tinkerer can compile it?
In fact, I already bought NS2, buying it with the preorder offer on wolfire, but I would love being able to play on linux as possible for Overgrowth !
Please port the game to run natively on Linux !
Most real Linux users will buy the game rather than look for ways to play for free with cracks or illegal copies ! (I mean people who use Linux because they like what "Logiciel libre" means).
have fun anyway !
(And keep us informmed when (if) the port is made available, and even when it is planned !)
I'm actually only using Linux and I would really like to play this game on linux too. I'd have already bought it, if I knew it would work with Linux. If a full port is too much work (It surely is.. and it wouldn't pay off) you could maybe put some effort into wine-compatibility. Or ask some wine-developers to help you out?

Nice to see an Overgrowth fan around here. ;)
But the goal should (please!) still be a native NaSe II running on Linux.
Greetings
Support us as we support you - make a native Linux client !

It's in fact a real cooperation then.

I try to avoid WINE: get things that will run natively instead - there's more and more of them and some are very good (and free):

Personally I like if games are done so that they are capable of running on multiple OS's and not just for one platform.
A native GNU/Linux client would be really, really awesome!

and still no linux clients! ( So no deal for me :( )
