A Vampyre Story runs on Panda 3D game engine and the Python language right, so what would happen if you replaced the windows versions of these files with the linux versions?
Just wondering, I don't have the technical expertise to look into this the one time I looked into it Panda 3D gave me a headache.

Is the source code of this game released?
Does the game run on some external interpreter like Java apps? (as opposed to straight .exe files)
If the answer to both questions is no, it doesn't matter what libraries (Panda) or programming language (Python) were used.
To make a Linux version you would have to take the source code and compile it again. But now with an other compiler for another environment with the appropriate other versions of 3rd party libraries like Panda.
Its either that OR reverse engineer the game start to finish OR just run the Windows version with compatibility layer like Wine or VirtualBox.

Oh it also uses tcl and tk, but as for your questions about running on an external interpreter I assumed it did use python for all the custom code that is not standard in the Panda 3D engine. But as I said before I don't have the technical expertise to figure out what's possible and what's a pipe dream.
And it doesn't work in Wine.

I couldn't get it running either in Wine although I didn't really look for any help with it.ezekiel000 wrote: And it doesn't work in Wine.
I have one PC for Linux and one for Windows XP which I got pre-built the week XP was released.
The XP hard drive died recently. It was all OEM so I downloaded the Windows 7 RC for stuff like Vampyre although I haven't actually tried the game with Win7 to see how it runs.
