Think Tanks Linux OS

Hi All,
So i did manage to get TT demo functioning on linux just before GG Master Server was shut down. Unfortunately I didn't purchase the full/unlocked version prior to the death of the master server. Now of course I don't seem to be able to make that purchase to unlock the game. I really want to get TT running on my computer which is a Linux OS. Does anyone have any useful suggestions or ideas how or where I might be able to do that???? :tankerconfused:

Thanks in advance,

Max :(

Hi Max,
Do you have a registration key from garagegames?

If you only need to host a dedicated server on Linux, you can use the demo app without a registration.

Hi Blind Cide & Smacky,
Thanks for the reply.
I've actually got two different windows copies (Shockwave and Bravetree) and assume I got an e-mail with the codes for both which I will try to locate.
When I do find one or both where do I apply the code in the Linux Demo??
(Sorry if it's a stupid question but I would rather ask than fumble around and waste time trying to figure it out).

Thanks in advance,

Max

Hi Smacky,
I didn't realize you posted an answer when I had Speedy post the chat during the game. I'll take a look tomorrow. I did find the unlock code from Bravetree so that's what I will try. Hopefully it works and we'll finally have 3 tanks in the game. (And I'll be able to use my own computer instead of jumping to the other one just to run tanks.) Thanks for the reply. :)
And the Packers didn't win the Steelers gave the game away. :(

Thanks again,

Max

Hi Smacky (All),
Ok, I launched the Linux version of Think Tanks and tried to locate a place to use my Bravetree unlock key but there doesn't appear to be any. The "buy" link tries to connect directly to Garage Games and is unsuccessful for obvious reasons. I really would like to get TT going on my (personal) linux computer. Does anyone have any idea what I can do to get it going?? Do I need to download a linux version from somewhere else? Is there some trick to using the code? Is there a contact at Garage Games or anyone that I could purchase the full linux version from? What options do I have? :?

Thanks in advance,
Max

OK... if you have a copy of the game that is registered, you might still be in luck.

Inside the game, there's a file called "ignition". Try looking in contents/resources/

Your ignition code is inside that file. Open it and look for a line that says

"key = XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX"

(not exactly this, the X's should be numbers and letters)

Launch the game, and when prompted enter that code. You have to have a copy of the full version to do this, though.

If that doesn't work, shoot me an e-mail and I'll see if I can get you some help.

Hi Smacky,

That would be great.
Hopefully I can get this going finally.

Thanks in advance,

If you trust them, see if anyone is seeding a torrent for the installer. I kind of doubt it though.

To download the Linux installer you have to log into Garage Games from a Linux machine, hope that helps.
