NOTE: I wanted to attach the .deb file but just now realize that attachments are disabled. If you are willing to host this file please get in touch with me! I will try to find a hosting solution in the interim (open to suggestions), but in the mean time if you would like a copy please let me know here.
For those who did not know you could play EQEMU on your Linux box, it can be accomplished via software called Wine which acts as a "Windows Compatibility Layer."
I just compiled a copy of Wine-1-1-33 for playing EQEMU. Unfortunately this is the most recent version of Wine which I've personally had any success (or have heard of) with running Everquest Titanium for EQEMU. I have also included the code fix which should solve the missing character model / graphical anomalies many people encounter when trying to playing EQEMU via Wine.
It is built as a ".deb" file so installation is very simple if you are using a Debian based distro (Ubuntu, etc).
I did notice some error messages in the console, but nothing which stopped things from running. I also noticed it did not install the Wine entries into the Gnome app menu. Nothing serious. You will want to run "winecfg" right after after installing to generate the /.wine file tree. While you are in winecfg it is also a good idea to click over to the Audio tab so that it will autodetect your sound driver settings.
Keep in mind this is simple the wine fix with the working version of wine, you MAY NEED TO MODIFY YOUR EQCLIENT.INI TO GET THINGS WORKING (for examples, trying windowed/unwindowed modes and resolutions). I have previously written a guide to getting EQEMU running via Wine which still can be found here:
http://mqemulator.net/forum2/viewtopic.php?t=128
Theres some other general troubleshooting there. I may re-write the guide with new information I have now.
*** MOUSE ESCAPE FIX ***
Fortunately there is an easy fix to the issue of the mouse escaping the game window though I have not seen it posted anywhere in the EQEMU community.
Wine has its own version of Windows' Registry Editor which can be accessed via 'regedit' in the command line. After launching 'regedit,' you need to create the following entry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\DirectInput
(If DirectInput is not there in the tree, create the new key)
Create a new string entry:
MouseWarpOverride
then set to:
force
This should fix the mouse "wall" or "mouse escape" issue people have encountered.
