Any idea if the client works with wine?

Check this out: https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManag...ication&iId=77

mIRC 7.1 - This is the first stable version of mIRC with Unicode support and some (limited) support for Wine users.

As for the DAoC itself...

HowTo: DAoC client under Linux (e.g. Ubuntu)

Postby Metty » Thu Feb 12, 2009 8:27 pm

So, you have decided to try out this shiny new Ubuntu thingy and want to play some DAoC?

Getting DAoC to run under Linux is quite easy now-a-days:

1.) Installing Wine and Mono
Assuming you are using Ubuntu, just do it the easy way: Go on "System" -> "Adminstration" -> "Synaptic Package Manager", and click.
Then look for "wine", rightlick -> Mark for Installation.
Do the same for "mono-2.0-runtime", and install these packages by clicking on "Apply".

2.) Downloading DAoC
If you already got some version of DAoC from your windows partition, you can skip this step. But I would recommened to copy your DAoC Directory from your NTFS to your linux partition.

Otherwise you can probably download the DAoC Setup like the windows one, and run it with the Wine Command. Just go on "Accessories" -> "Terminal", CD to the directory where you saved the installer by doing e.g. "cd Downloads/", and then type in "wine <NameOfTheInstaller.exe>".

3.) Setting up DAoC Portal
DAoC Portal is still in a very unstable developement state under Unix systems, but still should run good enough for basic usage. Download the DAoC Portal setup, and run it again like the commandline you used to start the DAoC Installer. (You may also connect .exe directly to Wine and Mono apps!)

NOTE: I recommend you to install DAoC Portal directly in the DAoC directory you'll be using, as it will be much less painful. Sometimes the dolloader won't work when run from a different directory

After installing DAoC Portal, open up another terminal (Accessories -> Terminal), and CD to your daoc directory (cd ~/games/DAoC e.g.).
Then type in "mono Portal.exe". If you did everything right, a daoc portal window/config dialog should open up. As GameDir just enter a dot "." - If you did everything correctly, you should see some of your client details in the bottom right corner. Close the dialogue.

4.) Setting up the wine settings
Before running DAoC, you have to change some Wine-Settings. Open the wine configuration by either typing "winecfg" in your terminal, or by clicking on Applications -> Wine -> Configure Wine.

Add "game.dll" as an application; select it and switch to the graphics tab. Disable "Allow Pixelshader" here, or your daoc will probably crash after the loading screen.

5.) Connecting...
Go back to your daoc portal client, and look if the serverlist has loaded. If yes, try to select the appropriate server (you may have to use your arrow keys, the list control is quite bugged); or enter the IP under the custom server tab. Then just enter your account name, and password, and press Enter (or click on the play button). DAoC should load up.

Notes
These steps just worked for me, so they may not work for you - Just test it. If you have anything to note, just post it.

Add me as Nightshade please, I played one when the game came out and liked it a lot (such as sneaking up to someone, killing them, or causing confusion among the ranks of another realm).

I'll be looking for a NA guild. I'm in the PST time zone and plan on playing Hib on Uth. Mostly in groups but sometimes duo with my kid. I would enjoy playing Warden/champ but we all know any group will pick up 2nd Druid/Hero (det5) before those classes.

Still undecided....Druid maybe.

Back in 2003, baiting stealthers into thinking my buffed up Blademaster was a Ranger. xD

Eldritch was way more fun though for me personally.
