FOURNINE: Moved to "Wolfire" forum. Randomness area is dedicated to the random stuff. This query sounds more like a "Wolfire" topic.

Currently, Mac only. Source, e-mail David. CVS, No.

Sorry to say the opposite of Blorx but there is a CVS for Blackshades:
cvs -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvs/cvsroot login
Type "anonymous" as password
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvs/cvsroot co blackshades

And you got all sources that you can compile on you Linux box if I remember well.
You'll need openal dev files and sdl dev files and some others.
That was that way I discovered this splendid game !
If you have problems, pm me and I'll help you as I can (I'm on Mac for the moment

)
You will also need the data file to be able to play (read the docs)
Have a good play !

Why are you using openal? fmod kicks arse! openal is so... clunky, and it uses the LGPL liscence.

use a real audio thingymajig!

Aye, indeed there is a Linux CVS of BlackShades. Took forever to configure though. If I remember correctly, I believe you might need OpenAL and libSDL-devel.

If you're ever on a Gentoo box, I think there's an ebuild for it.

This game really needs a PC port

I need some help, there are alot of models and I want to change/edit them, I have never done something like this before since there are hardly any configurable mac programs, if somebody can tell me how to edit skins and do modeling and tell me the program it would be much appreciated.

The GNU Project Debugger. "I feel lucky" with Google gave me that with the keyword "gdb".
gdb won't help you if you don't know what it does, so rtfm (that is "read the f**king manpage", a very common acronym that wasn't chosen to insult you).
