Neocron 2.2 in Linux with Wine
This has been tested on Ubuntu Linux x86, the system stats follow
AMD Athlon64 X2 5200+ Dual Core
2 GB DDR2 800Mhz
XFX GeForce 7900GS
Ubuntu Linux X86 (Feisty Fawn)
Wine 0.9.41 Installed from Ubuntu repository.
Instructions for getting Neocron working
I just copied my Neocron 2.2 folder from my NTFS drive, so I include no instructions for installing Neocron
These instructions are for people who have just installed Ubuntu
1. Download and install Automatix2.
2. Install Wine from Automatix and Extra Fonts package, and whatever else you want to install.
3. Download and install Wine-Doors.
4. Install the following packages from Wine-Doors
Visual C++ runtime libraries 6
All fonts available
Common Controls 5
DCOM 98
Microsoft Jet 4
Microsoft Foundation Classes 4
MSXML 4
DirectX9
Internet Explorer 6
Windows Scripting Host 5
Windows Installer 2
Visual Basic Common Controls 6
Visual Basic Runtime Libraries 5
Visual Basic Runtime Libraries 6
If any fail, just keep trying until they are installed, sometimes a few will fail because others were not installed first.
Do NOT press any keys or be doing anything else while they install, they will automatically press keys for you to finish the installs.
6. Copy your Neocron2.2 directory over to ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/
7. run winecfg and Add Application Client.exe with the following options
Windows Version: Windows 98
[Libraries]
Override msvcrt, set to Native (Windows) [Thanks to vitamin in #winehq for this]
Override quartz, set to Native (Windows) [Again thanks to vitamin in #winehq for this]
8. Copy msvcrt.dll and quartz.dll from your C:\Windows\System32 folder on your WIndows machine to ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32
9. From the terminal, go to your Neocron 2 folder (cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Neocron2/) and type wine Client.exe -sysconfig
10. Setup your options and click OK.
11. From the terminal again type wine Client.exe -precache PlayTutorial
12. After making sure that it works, you can type wine Client.exe to launch the game, connect to the server and select your character, but it will say it cannot connect to the worldserver.
And there you have it! As far as we have gotten with Neocron in Linux.
