Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

G'day,
I play Dark Age of Camelot, a most excellent MMORPG (btw you do pay subscription).
I have been playing this game on Puppy for the last couple of years, ever since Wine 1.1.10 came out - Mouse Pointer Issues were cleared up.
There are issues playing Dark Age with the latest versions of Wine (post 1.1.33), I know that version 1.1.24 works well so this is what I stick to.
To install and play you need to download and install and installer programme - it does all the work for you (big 4 gig download!)
Pixel Shading must be turned off - however this function can be used with a hack that I haven't had the time (or knowledge) to implement. This will allow rendering by the latest Dark Age Graphics Engine. I am content with the older style Graphics Engine.
For more info check out the Dark Age site ... http://www.darkageofcamelot.com/
and Wine HQ at ... http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=443

Great game that I've been playing (very casually) for the past 6 years.

Cheers
Martin

I'm playing World of Warcraft on Puppy.

I added a line to the WTF\config.wtf file for opengl:

SET gxApi "opengl"

Important thing: Install-and-Play games are at the top of list of favorite games, because it's good when there is no need to install didecty_feb2010_redist.exe, for example.

Under "wine-1.1.25-eter1fedora.i586.rpm" in single user mode i successfully tasted these games:

1)"Driving Speed 2"(car racing)

2)"Torcs"(car racing)

3)"Speed dreams"(car racing)

4)"Moto race challenge 08"(motorbike racing)
(i had a PROBLEM with a standard deinstallation)

At activization of these games there was a need to install these programs:

A)Scripts:

1)"Install-EtersoftWine.sh" 2)"InstallAfterWine-1-GeckoForWine.sh"((<<--perhaps this thing is not required for games)"cabextract" must be installed)
3)"InstallAfterWine-2-Fonts.sh"

what can be found here:

http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=54040(was deleted (not by me))(was recovered (not by me))

B)

1)NVIDIA-190.53-k2.6.30.5.pet (for my video card)
2)vcredist_x86.exe Link
3)NetFx20SP1_x86.exe Link
4)directx_feb2010_redist.exe Link



Game which was successfully installed, but i could not play due to technical abilities of the system hardware:

"volvo_thegame_1.0_setup.exe" (car racing)

Icy Tower's an awesome game. Simple, but definitely addictive, works flawlessly with Wine. 1.0 and up.

Tomb Raider 3 works in Wine. Custom TR3 levels can be downloaded from www.trle.net. In the list of levels, select type: TR3. Then click search. Click on the ratings header twice to find top rated levels, such as "Lara Croft Returns," a full 16-level adventure by Boris Samoilenko. Note that a walk-through is available for the download levels, in case one gets stuck during play.

[Just download, unzip, and play custom levels. The original game is not required.]

In Puppy 4.12 (actually MiPup2) with Wine 1.1.7 the TR3 levels run with default settings. With the newest versions of Wine (1.2-rc1) all the textures are grayed out, but this can be solved by using Wine configure, select the graphics tab, and change "Vertex Shader: Hardware" to "Vertex Shader: None." Then everything should work.

Start the custom levels with a script ending in: tomb3.exe -setup

Custom TR3 levels work with Wine configured for Windows XP. "Lara Croft Returns" may be the exception. If there are problems with having to reload a save game twice, then configure Wine for Win 98/ME.

For those completely new to Tomb Raider:

...except with something as currently demanding as Dolphin, it's probably better to run the native Linux version. (Though I'll admit I don't know if the Linux version is kept up-to-date with the Windows and Mac versions (or if the Mac version is level with the Windows version, either...).)
