Hey Brian I'm not sure about how they did it. But it seems that Bioware uses the Game data and then recreates the exes as linux client same with UBIsoft which has linux install scripts in on alot of their titles ex: UT2004. The Open Source Tools that they support might be the key to what they used to make the conversions. http://www.lokigames.com/development/ There are multiple tools and the loki specific ones I don't think are available for download anymore, I got a timeout trying to download loki-patch-tools. Hope this points you in the right direction. Hope this points you in the right direction. -- Mike Ramirez <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
