[SOLVED] Using openxcom windows nightlies in linux with wine
« on: August 27, 2015, 09:18:39 pm »
Here we go with the weird stufff!!

Usin a nightly in wine (version 1.6.2 i'm usin right now)  i'm suppose to use not linux paths, but windows patch as wine sees it, right?

For instance in a screenshot there is a linux patch, i placed inside UFO folder  files of xcom/ufo:eu, and in mods the hellrazor'shardmode expansion 0.93

but game refuses to start, either in another screenshot, accordin to the openxcom wiki i've placed the files in the windows wine patch as in the screenshot, but game refuses to start. Any idea, where i'm wrong? :/

Edit in the second screenshot:

xcom1: contains ufo files

mods contains hardmode

Personally i would strongly suggest using git and building source code yourself. You can trace back to a specific commit, if you need.

On the matter at hand, you could try moving contents of folder '~/openxcom' to '~/.wine/drive_c/openxcom' and run in terminal:
Code: [Select]
cd ~/.wine/drive_c/openxcom
wine openxcom.exe
I'm not sure if it would help, thou.

Do you have UFO:EU data inside  "~/.wine/drive_c/openxcom/UFO" folder (symlink would also do)? It starts without problems on my computer - tested with latest nightly.

Hey, now it works!!!!! Seems i've missed some files, actually unzipped into that path and the game starts!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ahhhhhh getting too old for this!!!!!!!  :o

Edit: terminal output once i quit the game right after the main menu is displayed, just for your consideration:

Code: [Select]
fixme:keyboard:X11DRV_LoadKeyboardLayout L"00000409", 0080: stub!
fixme:keyboard:X11DRV_LoadKeyboardLayout L"00000410", 0001: stub!
fixme:winediag:AUDDRV_GetAudioEndpoint Winepulse is not officially supported by the wine project

ls - al in /home/nicola/Documenti/OpenXcom/mods gives:

Code: [Select]
drwxrwxr-x 4 nicola nicola 4096 ago 28 11:35 .
drwxrwxr-x 4 nicola nicola 4096 ago 28 11:36 ..
drwxrwxr-x 8 nicola nicola 4096 ago 28 11:34 Hardmode_Expansion
drwx------ 7 nicola nicola 4096 ago 28 10:52 UFO REDUX v0.5.4
Al i can imagine then is a mod problems, that is supposed to work with a specific nightly, if so, only solution is to update mods :(

oh guys solved...actually was totally my fault!!!!!!!!!!! >:(

I cannot see the mod because i did not scroll the mod menu, as in the screenshot! The drop down menu is intended only for xcom/ufo, tftd and/or total conversions!!

So paths that worked for me:

The main game:

Code: [Select]
/home/nicola/.wine/drive_c/openxcom(mod subfolder here won't work, unless i imagine you set a different path, but i'm too oncompetent to do  :'( )


and mods

Code: [Select]
/home/nicola/Documenti/OpenXcom/mods
in the latter case, the path has to be linked in the current wine configuration, see here.

In the end, may i humbly humbly ask to Warboy, SupSuper and other administrators here to update the installation wiki page, or at least to use a more simple language? Have mercy...ok i guees it is solved!!!!!

Lastly, if you wanna create a launcher i recommend to install the wine launcher creator, packaged in .deb, .rpm and of course avaiable in source code!!!!!!! By default, the programs create a couple of shortcuts: one on the desktop one for the DE, usually in the /home of the user (/home/nicola/.local/share/applications/wlcreator)

Edit: screenshot added!

It's a wiki, anyone can edit it. :P Though I think running OpenXcom on WINE on Linux is a special case.

I may be confused, but what is the advantage of using Windows OXC + Wine over compiling your own version of the code for Linux? The later has worked very well for me so far and it is then only a quick extra step to add features that others developed, like manufacturing profitability.

I second that! Lately, I've gotten that far, that I don't even need to do anything, except for entering my credentials, when the script tries to install the newly compiled nightly. Only thing, that got broken a few days ago, was the automatic inclusion of translation files. But I already got an idea, why this is happening. So for me, there's absolutely no reason of why to use wine, instead of the native compiled nightly.
