SoF and Wine

cubber · #1 02-13-2009, 07:48 PM

By setting my windowed resolution to a size that is smaller than my desktop resolution I was able to correct the windowed mode black screen problem. I successfully made it to the login server screen ( minilogin ). When I tried to log into my server though it just went black and hung up. Probably because I did not compile the server with SoF support turned on.

I noticed in the SoF development thread he disabled SoF support by default to prevent public servers from getting hosed up by people attempting to log in with SoF clients.

As of SVN Rev 333, I can log into my minilogin server with a SoF client under wine. I logged into my level 1 character in gloomingdeep and was able to run around and interact with NPC's. I even had the guy buff me and had spell effects.

Looks like she will work out fine under wine!

Good to know you got it working. I am sure anyone else wanting to do this will probably find your post useful. Thanks for documenting it

No problem, thank you for the hard work you have put into making this possible.
