Linux with Wine

Hi!

Is there a way to run Shootmania on Linux with Wine ?
On WineHQ, the test are pretty old. I tried with wine version 1.5.15 but without success-
I know there was a POL script but I can't find it anymore.

If someone's running it under wine, let me know!

P.S.: Is there a native version incoming ?

First of all, wrong section since this is not a bug report but rather a question

Highly unlikely. NADEO is a small studio, the engine is custom-built and only works on Windows, plus on top of that NADEO doesn't have any coders that'd be able to port the engine to OpenGL and Linux. Another reason is that it probably wouldn't be very profitable after all.

I managed to install ManiaPlanet on Ubuntu 13.04 back in July with the latest WINE version back then. No POL script needed at all :) Just run the ManiaPlanetMinimalSetup.exe within WINE, download Shootmania assets ingame, done.
