Colaboration with Canonical? RO in Ubuntu Software Center

adict · 10-24-2010, 05:56 PM

Is NGD considering a colaboration with Canonical to let RO be available in Ubuntu Software Center? Since games like Vendetta Online and Brukkon became available I was just wondering :-)

Yes please, get some new players involved who might never have heard of it.

Nice idea, but first RO need to work better on OpenGl and latest nvida drivers...

Agreed OpenGL performance is awful compared to DirectX. We get twice less FPS with it. And this is a game which want to benefit from a native linux client.

I play Quake Live with max settings and i do not see FPS difference when i change drivers. Stable good FPS. Even newer drivers get things even better.

This bug / regression have to be fixed. Please find what is the cause 190.53 driver to give stable FPS and why later ones mess things up. Even contact Nvidia if needed - they got a pretty good forums where you can find help.

Maybe Nvidia deprecated or changed something in latest drivers...

+1, This game deserves so much to be more advertised in the Linux world.
Knowing the lack of MMOs (and generally good games) in Linux, it would be a formidable way to bring tons of new players.

Great idea, +1 ofc.

It's a good idea.
But as a precondition to put an Application to the Software Center the developers (in this case NGD of course) must choose a license that is accepted by the Open Source Initiative. Here is a list with those accepted..
I did not exactly look through them but since it's called OSI I doubt there is something that suits Regnum.

Not sure about your post. Ubuntu Software Center is now offering also payed aplication and games. The first so to say stars are Fluendo and games mentioned in my post Vendetta Online and Brukkon. Theese are closed and payed games so I doubt they use any of OSI license. Then again I could be wrong.

I can't reallyimagine that too because it would ruin a nice approach for making Linux more attractive for commercial software but according to the App review wiki page:

# Applications must be Open Source and available under an OSI approved license.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AppReviews

However reading through the Vendetta FAQs it seems it is partly open source (lua stuff) and they are not completely excluding the thought of going open source someday. Not in the short term though.

I don't know what's going on with that appstore, I assumed it had proprietary things too, since they (ubuntu) sell codecs and powerdvd etc aswell. But from reading the announcement about VO they apparently made a deal with canonical, maybe ngd can do something similar.
