Current Large Fame Offerings

I'm running the regular SoD updater in WINE on Ubuntu 10.10 with no current issues. The process for installation is not particularly complicated.

I use the same installation in Ubuntu as Windows, though I have two copies of the SoD patcher because they have different directory-structures. As long as you have WINE, which most Linux users have or can install with about three commands, it is practically plug and play.

The only thing the Linux version really could use is a script for binding processor affinity automatically. My copy of Linux is not respecting the patcher's request for binding, so I need to run 'taskset -p 1 [pid]' under Ubuntu to prevent the multi-CPU animation and warping issues.
 
You shouldn't but I use debian, so god knows what canonical has done to it.
You could just put the taskset command in a shell script and chmod u+x <script>
then ./<script>. right click and run off the desktop would probably work as well.

Running eq under linux really hasn't been an issue since Wine 1.0. Most issues relate to os autodetection of the graphics card and association of a non-generic driver with the card. The generic driver then may or may not have 3d acceleration. This results in what I technically call "no worky".

I'll put a start script on the wiki under the linux section this weekend, you can find some crap I put up SoD under Debian here that will help until then.

If only it were that easy... Ubuntu's version of taskset seems broken; it will happily bind an existing process to your chosen processor mask, but it refuses to start wine bound to a single processor. Even following the directions from the wiki leaves me with it bound to both processors.

It's probably possible to write a script that uses 'top' and 'grep' in an inventive way with pipes, but I suspect that it would be more trouble than it was worth and still not work right...
 
If we're handing out a lot of fame for a how-to video, it needs to be more than "yeah, you just run around the mobs".
 
I thought it was cute when you fell off into the moat and then pretended your original goal was to stalk after the roamer.
 
woldo can you give me a text file of the current packet loss bug that your speaking of I think i can offer a fix But i need something to begin working on and i can do it local first then you can submit it if you feel its correct.
 
Packet loss is no longer an issue. Guess this thread needs an overhaul. (Looking at you Woldaff!)
 
Haynar slayed packet loss and never got rewarded. This guy is my supervisor at work and lives to code stuff. Reward i guess doesnt matter tho as he never plays. But i really wanted to fomelo him and see a t8 quality 2h on him named Haynar's Sword of Packetloss Slaying. 0.2% chance of proccing a /cm refresh, muahaha.

Same guy also sent in the code so we can mem spell sets over one another.

I think he told me he appd to a dev but turned down for some reason. Wierd cuz this guy is awesome.
 
Woldaff owes me at least like 4 "Hey you get fame points for this" things. Dimmi fame points: 1 (and I'm pretty sure that came from Tao?)

tl;dr if you're dealing with woldaff get your fame points/reward up-front!
 
Haynar has yet to actually come to me to talk about his crazy ass sword!

As for the PL bug - it still exists. It just got pushed back. If we could get the encryption key it would be able to be thwarted for good. Those logs that you linked me unfortunately do not show that encryption refresh as far as I can tell. I will have meyers glance at it.
