Poll: what OS/platforms (besides Win32) for DomII
I assume Windows is by far the most-used platform, but what of the other platforms do you use for your DomII gaming? My computer at home runs Linux/PPC, and I am very glad this quality game supports my platform (not many do!). Speak up for the platform(s) you need to see supported.

(I realize this may show that nobody but me uses Linux/PPC and thereby Doom support in the future... oh well.)

I have a MAC at home on which I play Dominions.
Boy! Would I be sad if Dom III did not work on a Mac!!

Re: Poll: what OS/platforms (besides Win32) for Do
"Dominions III will be available on a wide range of popular operating systems, including Windows, Macintosh, and Linux. Solaris will no longer be supported."
Incase some haden't seen this. From a press release Oct 18, 2004.

Only Windows, but I know that it would be easier to run automated scripts on Linux. Gandalf Parker and his random maps are quite an example in that part...  |

Actually, we are in an age where triple-platform "scripting" tools (Mac/Win/Linux) are powerful and easily available. Many of them are free and/or open source.
My favorite is Python. Others include Java, REALBasic, and C#/Mono. With the cygwin Unix environment for Windows, one can add all the other usual favorites: Perl, Ruby, shell scripts, Tcl, PHP, and who knows how many others.
Not all those are "scripting" per se, but all could be used for writing and running small programs of this kind on all 3 platforms. |

Don't worry, OpenSolaris is proceeding well. There is even a PPC version in the works
