SOD on Linux

[Teluh]

I played SoD almost all Summer last year, I had to change my OS due to problems.Now I run Linux, Ubuntu 8.04 (hardy), And I really want to start playing again. After flailing around I got EQ to install, now I can't get the SoD Patcher to work when I click on it nothing happens I've tried everything I can think of. I'm using Wine 1.1.1 If you need anymore information I will gladly give it to you, Thanks in advanced.
Edit: This is the code I get when I launch sodpatcher.exe through Wine from the Terminal.

~/Desktop/Release$ wine ./sodpatcher.exe

I know nothing about running games on Ubuntu (yet) but have you installed .NET framework 2?

 

[Teluh]

No I'll try installing that now through Wine. Thanks.
Edit: The installer for .NET framework 2 won't work. Any ideas.
(This is what I get when I run it, everything goes fine till it gets to the installing sections but the bar never moves and I get this. http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb153/Koueen/NetFrameworkpng.png)

 

[XPMaster]

Not sure if it would work in this case, but you could try DotGNU. If that doesnt work, you could certainly manually patch SoD. You will just have to go to http://shardsofdalaya.com/patch_files.zip to grab the files. Then, just run EQ without patching and you should get it.

 

[Teluh]

I'll try that and update to tell the results.
Edit: I used the manual patch to patch my self but when I try to launch eqgame.exe it says please launch EverQuest.exe when I do I have to log into an everquest when I do it tries to patch...

 

[magas]

I'm currently running Ubuntu Hardy and I've gotten Everquest to install just fine, and play just fine.

I'm using Wine 1.1.2 - you may try switching up to the newest version of it.

Here's the order I did everything:

• Install .NET Framework 2.0
• Install ********** all disks - here I had some trouble with DirectX (on the last disk), but there's a command to give Wine to disable DirectX, and after that it went smoothly
• Patch Everquest with provided patcher

If you continue to have issues with .NET Framework 2.0, try using 1.1 instead - it's quite possible that a different version will work for you, and that's the lowest you can go for SoD. If it continues even further, try clicking the link that says "What does this report contain?" and start digging on the errors. There are tons of guides out there for installing pretty much anything with Wine - except ********** of course. =/

 

[Waldoff]

I am pretty much a linux laymen BUT-

Please update http://www.angrygamer.net/sodwiki/index.php?title=SoD_in_Linux if you have a chance with any new info you find through this process. If we can get a guide up that is truly comprehensive it would be nice to advertise that SoD is linux read (with finagling).

 

[magas]

It would be absolutely wonderful to be able to say that SoD is officially cross-platform. I'll admit, being able to run SoD was my one deterrent from switching over to Linux for a good long time.

I'll see what I can add to the wiki entry.

 

[ghostman816]

"Install ********** all disks - here I had some trouble with DirectX (on the last disk), but there's a command to give Wine to disable DirectX, and after that it went smoothly"

what is **********? I got .net 2.0 to work going through winetricks, not downloading from online. and the Everquest patcher works. But the SoD patcher dumps me a bunch of errors. I also took a look at the appdb for Everquest with the SoD entree from another user. I applied the two installs from winetricks.

I use the command from the "SoD in linux" wine section "wine explorer.exe /desktop=sod1,800x600 everquest.exe patchme" and I get pass the server select and it crashes soon after I leave that screen before entering character select.

any help would be greatly appreciated (runnin Ubuntu Lucid) I'm gonna keep workin on it and post what I come across.

 

[vistachiri]

Lucid appears buggy as fuck right now ngl, probably would have better luck with an earlier distro. I'll see if I can figure anything out.

 

[Rivalary]

Try renaming your eqclient.ini so it recreates it. I'm guessing it's trying to go to the screen resolution listed in eqclient.ini and X or your display driver won't allow it to. Worth a shot, anyways.

 

[Temellin]

I currently run SoD on Lucid, I copied over a previous install and had no problems running it with Wine. If you are having issues I would suggest installing the latest version of wine, getting your winetricks on (So that you can have .NET 2.0. See here for info on how to get and use winetricks), and maybe using PlayOnLinux to manage the CD installation.

Also, if you are getting it to run and it crashes you might try disabling EQWindows, because Wine already places it in a window of its own.

 

[Boehm]

Oh wait, you rezzed an old thread. gdi. Couple things;

Can you;

1) Post your error messages from the crash here.
2) lspci > pci.txt
3) dmesg | grep agpgart >> output2.txt
4) uname -a >> output2.txt
5) wine --version >> output2.txt
6) glxinfo | grep version >> output2.txt
7) glxinfo | grep direct >> output2.txt

cut n paste the textfiles here please. And make a break between them so my eyes don't burn. the error message is the most important because I'm thinking you may have a mesa issue, but i don't know that.
