About

This is an unofficial release of Tactical Ops: Assault on Terror for Linux.  The installers below are for the retail version and require the Tactical Ops CD for installation.  The Tactical Ops binaries were produced from a slightly modifed version of
OpenUT.  If you want to play the retail version in Linux, this is it.

Here's a screenshot of the installer.

S3 Texture Compression

Got an S3TC compatible video card?   Edit ~/.TacticalOps/System/TacticalOps.ini and change UseS3TC=0 to UseS3TC=1 in [OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice].

Here's an example of S3TC on TO-Resurrection:
no S3TC | S3TC
 
Note: Only parts of these maps use the S3TC Textures.   As you will see in the sample images, the ground and nearby building still look the same.



Tactical Ops Retail for Mac

If for some strange reason you've wandered onto this Linux page, there is a Mac guide for the Retail version
here.
