SWG Awakening on Linux

[grodius]

Hi Everybody,

Just discovered your epic server (was using SWGEmu) and saw no guides for Linux here. Just in case anyone else was looking like I was, its pretty easy.

1. You get Wine + Winetricks (or simply PlayOnLinux)

2. I made a unique winebottle for this game, with these mods
./winetricks vcrun2005 gdiplus dotnet20
(these will be options in POL *install components*)

3. Install your SWG using Wine (should work by default in this environment)

4. Install Awakening, point to SWG dir

5. Run Launcher after install, let it update.

6. ITS WORKING!! ITS WORKING!!!!

7. UNLIMITED.... POWWWWEEEEERR!!!!

That's pretty sweet. I might have to revive an older PC, load Mint, and install some SWG!

Everything seemed to work great for me, I did notice chat copy, cut, and paste don't work, I get this anomalous little square instead of whatever I was trying to paste. Is there a component for wine/playonlinux that might provide clipboard functionality in addition to those listed?

Does linux use Arial by default for the font? If not, that would be the issue.

I've succeeded to launch SWG Awakening on Debian Testing.
But the first thing i had to do was to force wine to run in 32-bit-only mode.

Edit .bashrc to do that.

$ nano ~/.bashrc

Then add these lines:

# wine
export WINEARCH=win32

Save the .bashrc file and follow grodius advices.

$ winetricks vcrun2005 gdiplus dotnet20
$ wine /path_to_swg_files/setup.exe
$ wine /path_to_awakening_file/Awakening_Setup.exe
$ wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/SWGAwakening/AwakeningUpdate.exe

And Start !

By the way I have no problem with chat copy, cut and paste.
