Mikko Ikola was kind enough to provide an updated Finnish translation of the HOWTO. Look at it here

Hey look exactly two months since the last update! Not as bad as last time, at least =]

I just mainly went through to correct errors and out of date material. If you find any mistakes, please let me know. Here is a direct link to the howto.

Mikko Ikola has sent on his Finnish translation of the howto (version 0.4.1). The link is on the HOWTO page. For all you guys wondering about cheat protection, TransGaming Technologies provides binary versions of WineX that normally support the latest cheat protection (though they need to be updated every time valve changes the cheat protection). The binaries do have a small charge with them.

Hi everyone. The long awaited TransGaming Website was finally launched today. It allows users to subscribe (which involves paying, well worth while). Once you have subscribed you get a certain ammount of input into what gets worked on next. For example you could vote to improve the menu's in Half-Life etc.
With this note, I am also informating everyone that because of TransGaming there will be very few updates here. If you need commercial support for Half-Life or other windows games under linux be sure to subscribe to TransGaming!
The forums here will still exist, but if you want better, more promptly answer forums - be sure to use the TransGaming ones!

Thanks to Mikkel Mastrup a Danish version of the LHL howto is now available on the HOWTO page. Cheers Mate! Also for all those thousands of people that have asked me for an SGML version of the HOWTO, its also available there.

Hey again.. Thanks to Lars Munch we have an updated howto, he ported the entire thing to linux doc SGML format, yay - looks a lot nicer now.. I also added a few answers to commen problems people seem to have. Also guys, dont forget we have an IRC channel on openprojects, #lhl - come visit us! Lastly, im working on something pretty big, cant tell you what yet but its something related to lhl - but alot bigger, as a result I havent had time to do the much needed rewrite etc. BTW, my email address that was on this page died ages ago, my new one is crazney@crazney.net.

Ok, incase you didnt notice, the below was a really sad April Fooles joke.
Anyway, Adam (aka mayof1937) sent me an updated HOWTO (modified my version).. so its now up on the howto page.. Thanks so much mate. (currently, i have no time to update the howto myself!). BTW, expect a complete re-write soon (version: 1.0pre's).

Yes ladies and gentlemen, its true..
 
In a press release on the morning of Sunday, 1st of April, 2001 Valve CEO Gabe Newell announced that they had secretly been working on a Linux port of the most popular game, Half-Life.
"We have taken alot of offensive email recently, asking for a port, all the while we have been secretly porting the game, it has been alot of fun."
Valve's marketing department speculate that Half-Life will be a top seller for the Linux platform, despite the fact its getting relitvly old, and that it seems to work flawlessly under WINE.
"We think that most of the Linux Half-Life players will purchase the game, in order to get native support, better performance and ofcourse to support the Linux gaming industry. Sales of Half-Life will determain if we port Teams Fortress 2 to linux".
 
So there you go people.. 1st of April 2001 will go down in the linux history books :-)

Hi, I've put a new HOWTO up (should be accessable on the HOWTO page - which contains the remidy to the radio sound problem in CS thats been bugging us! YAY. So go read that "radio sounds dont work" thingo.

On another note, I'm going back to my last year of secondary school in a few weeks, need to do alot of work on that - so I'm looking around for anyone that thinks they can maintain the HOWTO and the website for a year - with regular updates and stuff - contact me for more info.

Clément "Nodens" Hermann has translated the version 0.1 of the HOWTO to french, and its now up on the HOWTO page for all to view.

Ok people, I've finished v0.1 of the HOWTO, its now available on the howto link on the left. German version has not been updated, and the french version should be done some time soon :-). Not much changed this versoin, just some notes about x4.0.2 and a few more troubleshooting topics.. Oh, and it looks different casue when I changed over to debian the sgmltools seems to use a different html template.

On another note, there is a great team working on implementing a full DirectX API for WINE - this will mean the ability to use Direct3D, better DirectDraw stuff (menu's) and better DirectSound stuff (sound). Its an opensource project with a twist, they do want people to "subscribe", which means pay money, $5 a month.. They havent started taking money yet, but when they do, I urge all of you to subscribe, I know I will be! (aslong as I dont loose my job :-)). Anyway, there website is here
