| - | ====== Further Information ====== | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Windows and Linux specifics ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | The instructions and examples in this manual were written with reference to the //Microsoft Windows// operating systems. | ||
| - | Now, with Ca3DE being also available on //Linux//, I rely on the Linux users skills and experience to transfer the provided information to their favourite OS. | ||
| - | The transfer is almost always very easy to achieve: | ||
| - | Examples include that Linux has ''.tar.gz'' file archives versus ''.zip'' file archives on Windows, | ||
| - | and that the Linux executables have no file name suffix whereas the Window executables are suffixed by ''.exe''. | ||
| - | |||
| - | I hope that this helps to keep this manual easy and intuitive to understand for everyone. | ||
| - | The alternative would had been to mention all speficics for each OS in each text fragment and each example. | ||
| - | |||

| - | ===== Known Issues ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | * The Linux port is still incomplete: The Options dialog is missing. | ||
| - | * Sound drivers frequently cause problems under Linux. Therefore, Ca3DE ignores sound initialization failures on Linux, prefering no or broken sound output over no functionality at all. | ||
| - | * The dynamic shadows are not always correct. The world is sometimes lit where no light should be. | ||
| - | * Use the latest drivers for your video card. | ||
| - | * Windows 95 and 98: Do not run Ca3DE from a full-screen DOS-Box. It will report an error. | ||
