Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) General DD on linux

Are there a way I can run <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> in Linux?

you'd better ask this in a <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> related forum, I'd suggest the 'general' forum

Hi Neo_Claw,

try it with Wine or Transgaming's WineX.

I have tried wine, but it does not work <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />

And i´m sorry Viper. It was a mistake...

no need to apologize, I was just redirecting you <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Hi,

first off all, i'm not a native english speaker !

Ok, what is to do, that <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> run under linux:

- the game must be installed unter windows with all patches.
- start linux.
- get the lastest version of wine from their [url=http://www.winehq.com]site.
- install wine-sources: ./configure && make depend && make && su -c "make install"
(i take in the configure-options: --disable-debug --disable-trace --enable-opengl)
- go to the directory where <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> is installed, for example /dos2/games/Divine Divinity
(/dos2 is my mount-point for a vfat-partition)
- go to the subdirectory called Run
- start the "configtool.exe" with "wine configtool.exe" and make the following options:
- software-rendering
- 800x600
- skip test
- start the test <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
- mount your dvd/cdrom with the game-cd !
- run <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> with "wine div.exe"
- have fun <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

I tested this with the german version of <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> and the 2 latest patches.

On my <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" />-Page comes soon a more explained description of this.

but you first have to install <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> under windows? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

what's the use of playing it under linux then?

i never understood those crazy linux-ers <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

nice site Xanlosch.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />
hard for me to de-cipher, but i did see you have a voting link for <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/riftrunner.gif" alt="" /> there <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
nice screenshot too! .
...thats my first glimpse of a linux desktop..... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
(don't get out much) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ouch.gif" alt="" />

nice job! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

The reason is, that the install-program wan't install under linux. I don't figure out why. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" /> (The cd is mounted and the install-process is on the way but the installprogram dont find the cd !)

I write first a german article howto install it under linux and will translate him later.

If somebody help me for the translation, contact me, because my english is terrible.

Xanlosch

Thanks. I am so happy that I now can play <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> under Linux <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
(and thanks for explaining everything)

It is nice somebody to help. Linux-Questions ? Ask me !

The german part is now only under my site.

Xanlosch

What does "&&" means?

The && means that the second command only executed when the first was successfully executed.

You are realy good at Linux.
May I ask: what kind do you use? (Mandrake? Suse? or something else?)

I use GNU/Linux since 4 or 5 years. First distribution was SuSE and since a half year i use my own distribution which based on the book from LinuxFromScratch or short LFS. You must compile everything yourself and you know what you install.

Cool. Are there a place I can download your distribution? (is it on english?)

Sorry, it is not my distribution. The owner is Gerard Beekmans. I think he is from the Netherland and live now in Canada.

My advise to you is: Read the book, read it again. It is not easy and follow the book in every instruction.

Xanlosch

And to "the_bean".
For example: You can play <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> in a window. and play on a very stable system <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/alien.gif" alt="" /> (Linux rulez) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/alien.gif" alt="" />

sounds very interesting..... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

is it hard to learn....? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" />
