postal 2: something for the bronze list?

[Mark Hannessen]

hi there

for those of you that don't know, postal 2 is a "psycho 3d shooter" using the 
unreal2 engine. for a long time i was not able to get it running until i 
noticed that there was an opengl frontend availible for it.

postal 2 is really running great in opengl mode, i only had a few minor issues 
in getting it running:

1: the installer appears to use winrar for unpacking the data files, but 
winrar did not work as it should be on my system so i had to copy the 
installation from windows.

2: i had to download the opengl frontend from 
http://www.gopostal.com/support/postal2/opengl.htm

( make sure to use one resolution for both the scissors 
intro, the menu and the game, this can be edited in Postal2.ini )

3. i had to minimize the KDE Kicker because it stayed on top of wine.

after this the game is running almost perfect.
i get a zillion of these warnings, be they do not appear to harm the game:

fixme:imm:ImmAssociateContext (0x10026, 0x68036828): semi-stub
fixme:imm:ImmGetDefaultIMEWnd (0x10026): semi-stub
fixme:imm:ImmGetContext (0x10026): stub

but the game was fully playeble to the end.

i tested it on an AMD XP2200 with 512MB memory and a Geforce4 Ti 4200 
128MB )

hope this is usefull to someone, happy shooting everybody!
