Later version of Stéphan Kochen's OpenGLDrv for Linux found
Posted: Tue Jun 26, 2018 8:25 am
Hey,
I am not sure if that topic belongs to Linux-Board.
As some of you might be aware, Linux native version of Unreal Tournament (1999) requires Linux port of [url=http://www.cwdohnal.com/utglr/]Chris Dohnal's OpenGLDrv renderer[/url] to run properly. Around 2005, Stéphan Kochen ported v3.1 of that renderer to Linux. Later he [url=http://www.unrealadmin.org/forums/showpost.php?p=83657&postcount=48]updated the renderer[/url] by cutting some ancient dependencies, but instead of this version, old version has been distributed on Internet, particularly on [url=http://www.letsplayut.com/]letsplayut.com[/url].
Luckily, I am able to find the later version thanks to Internet Archive: Wayback Machine. Get it via Wget

Unlike the old version, this version doesn't depend on libxmu6:i386, libxpm4:i386 packages and ancient libraries like libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so, libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3. It supports FrameRateLimit option via .ini edit which is crucial to prevent speeding issues on modern hardware.
It would be beneficial to upload it to a known safe place. Does anybody know the owner of letsplayut.com which seems to be a sound and simple place to distribute the library?
