Thanks for the reply X7123M3-256!

[d107]    - If so (running in Linux outside of Wine), what to do with the .gz compressed files?

[X7123M3-256] What files are these?

-- I was referring tp the Linux tarballs at https://openrct2.org/downloads/releases/latest. I later used the Quickstart Guide, and got it running with my GOG.com download in Wine.

Since as you earlier said, "The original RCT2 was never available for Linux" ... well, within Linux, RCT2 can only be run in Wine, right?

So what are these tarballs for? We should be downloading it for Windows, whether natively or in Wine? Maybe you could better explain this in the FAQ or Quickstart Guide.

Anyway, great job everyone. I understand the project much better now. RCT2 in 4K, amazing.

Now, if we could get the peeps to say something other than every 20 seconds "It's awfully warm out there", and every 30 seconds, "The more the merrier", well that would be an improvement, haha.

I won't try the Github rework on SV6 yet, though am happy to see that progress is being made there to a stable release sometime.

Hello,

I ran RCT2 in Windows up to Win7, and now run it in Wine on Ubuntu 18.04. Newbie questions:
- Can I run OpenRCT2 natively in Linux without the original Linux RCT2 source?
- If so (running in Linux outside of Wine), what to do with the .gz compressed files?
- Does OpenRCT2 support features from trainers (8cars, Son of Beast - Trams, De-vandalize park, Refresh Park, Water Gardens, Make Guests Happy etc). I suppose some but not all. If so, can those trainers run alongside OpenRCT2 and still work?
- Is there yet any fix to the 256 attractions limit hard-coded into the SV6 filetype?
