BT running on SP linux server

[chucknet]

I just wanted to put a FYI out there that, if you didn't know already you can connect BT Retail EXP. to a SP 2.15 linux server. Also i have figured out a way to play the BT maps on a Spearhead 2.15 linux server. the directions are here in the zip file along with my server.cfg.

unfortunatly the landmines don't work, but I was able to get the BT maps and some custom maps running in my rotation.

The only reason I did what I did is because I am one of those people who just can't wait and wanted to play those maps on my server.

I don't suggest this method for everyone or a server that people would rent. but it does work if you really wanna play those BT maps on a linux server without takeing and converting them from BT to SP and don't mind the other issues.

one of the issues i have found with this is the landmines don't seem to wanna work. if any one tries this method and can make them work it would appreciated to let me know. thanks

Ya having that problem too, I was surrprised, it wasnt as laggy as I expected, this could be good news when a BT linux script is released.

One other problem is I cant get it to show up in GSA under BT section, it shows in ASE & HLSW ok but as a SH server, that was to be expected as its launched as a SH server.

Ill have a look at the server more closely tomorrow, just got in from work so kinda wrecked right now.

Oh ya were you able to get Liberation mode working, I never set the cfg file for that yet, but couldnt call it from rcon when I first upped the server.
