Savage: The Battle for Newerth now Free

I just read on linuX-Gamers that S2 Games have decided to make Savage free! This is undoubtedly to generate interest in the upcoming release of Savage 2, but it's still great news. Now you have no excuse not to take it for a spin.

You can only get the windows client from the Savage home page, but linuX gamers linked directly to the Linux files. I'm reproducing those links below.

Download Savage Linux client ==> savage_linux.sh.gz

Download Savage 2.0c patch ==> savage_2.00c-english.update.run

Download SEP2F Savge Mod ==> SEP2F mod (needed to actualy connect and play on online servers)

And finally

See the Thread in the Linux-gamers.net forums with information for Savage on Linux

UPDATE 2006-09-06: S2 Games have added linux links / instructions to their download page

Ubuntu 6.06 doesn't ship with libtiff3

Ubuntu 6.06 doesn't ship with libtiff3 which is needed by the installer. You can work around this by sym-linking your libtiff.so.4 library into your savage libs dir as libtiff.so.3

If you get the error:
Quote

ImportError: libtiff.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
There was an error (error 65280 - Unknown error 65280) running the updater! bailing out

Simply do this:

Code:

cd <savage-dir>/libs
ln -s /usr/lib/libtiff.so.4 libtiff.so.3
