Wine w/ Titanium question

[Minstrel]

A question for those using Titanium with Wine:

I've followed all the directions I could find for running Titanium with Wine, and everything is working perfectly except the character models still don't show up. I'm wondering if anyone has any further suggestions before I take the final step of compiling Wine from source.

System specs:
AMD FX-53
ATI 9800XT (using the proprietary ATI drivers)
Debian Lenny

Using Wine 1.1.33 from the Wine binaries list here (http://www.lamaresh.net/binary.php). (The Titanium installer crashed on the latest Wine and discussion on the Wine forums seemed to suggest anything after 1.1.33 had issues so I dropped back to 1.1.33).

Modified eqclient.ini as suggested here (http://mqemulator.net/forum2/viewtopic.php?t=128) (vertexshaders=true, texturecache=false).

The site to download the hacked d3dx9_30.dll was down, so I downloaded a copy of the original .dll, modified it using a hex editor as per here (http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=2939) (first post just down the page).

Anyone have any suggestions before I move on to modifying/compiling the source? I'm not a terribly avid linux hacker so it isn't the most thrilling prospect...

Had a little free time and went ahead and tried compiling. Went MUCH smoother than I would have hoped with none of the fiddling I had read can be necessary compiling wine.

For anyone in the same situation, here's what I did.

I followed the compiling directions here (http://www.sucka.net/2009/08/how-to-compile-and-install-wine-1-1-28-in-debian-lenny/) with the code modification listed here (http://mqemulator.net/forum2/viewtopic.php?t=128) (under Part III Troubleshooting, section 3 where it says "EVERYTHING IS FINE EXCEPT..."). I backed up my EQ directory, rm -r 'd my old .wine directory, ran winecfg and copied the old EQ directory back in and it worked right off the block.

The directions are for Lenny, but they look generic enough that they'd work on Etch or Debian derived distros like the 'buntus, mint, etc.

My only challenge left is to see if it'll work in KDE (for some reason I get crashes unless I use GNOME).

Glad to see my guide helped you out!

I am about to go through this endeavor again... trying with the new version of WINE though. So far I can't even launch the app. :(

Did you re-compile the old verson of WINE or had success with a newer?
