How do I get Discovery to work on Ubuntu? Help a n00b!

[Idiotpod]

So, gentlemen and gentlewomen.

I’ve never been a nifty person with programming and understanding codes, tho I’ve always been a gamer.

But, to biznizz.

I’m currently running Ubuntu 12.04 and Freelancer Ver 1.0.

I want to get the discovery mod to work, but do not know how I can make this happen.
I’ve got playonlinux and wine. No dual-boting windows or emulator.

Please Freelancers, you’re my only hope.

Not much point in it. I’ve never managed to get MP to work and as Disco turns off the SP campaign there’s nothing to really do.

Should have mentioned I just finished the campaign!

Got it to work!

I personally would want to see FL running under a Linux Distro (I use Debian), but it seems that installing mods is not possible. If i’m not wrong, Wine can’t import/use some dlls.
The only thing I managed for now is running a LAN Disco server under a virtualized XP.

But maybe my informations are out-dated. I suggest you to ask here:

Hello,

I know that this post is over a year old but I’m curious to know how you got FL discovery MP to work.
I am running it through Codeweaver’s Crossover on my mac and was able to play the whole SP campaign without a problem. I installed the Disco mod but can’t access the server list.
I;m trying to access the Discovery RP 24/7 server, how did you get the multiplayer going?
