I've just had a thought about eraser on a linux server (eraser logo
appears on console screen but no bots appear...)- I've checked my
'eraser' directory and there's no gamei386.so file.  Should there be
one?  if this 'so' file behaves like the win32 counterpart (dll) then
surely even though I have succesfully loaded the eraser mod, it can't
run the game mods because it can't find the gamei386.so file in the
eraser directory so it would default to the gamei386.so file in the
baseq2 directory...?  Would this explain why the 'num_bot 5' command is
accepted but is not acted upon?

This still doesn't answer why a linux client gives the VID: error when
trying to connect to an eraser server run on the winPC...

thanks for your thoughts....

(just incase you're wondering why I haven't provided linux
distro/version- it's because I didn't think it is relevent- the game
*does* work as a one player and LAN multiplayer (without mods) though
softx.  mdk9.2 for those who were curious.)
