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.
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
Ubuntu 6.06 doesn't ship with libtiff3
