SoF and Wine

[cubber]

Since development seems to be progressing fast on a SoF client I figured I would purchase a copy and try to get it working in wine. The game installed fine (unpatched), but when I go to run:

wine eqgame.exe patchme

A window opens like its gonna do something but then crashes and I get the following output:

~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Sony/EverQuest-SoF $ wine eqgame.exe patchme

wine: Call from 0x7edfee0e to unimplemented function d3dx9_36.dll.D3DXCreateTextureFromFileInMemoryEx, aborting

Looks like there is a d3dx9_36.dll file needed...

[cubber]

I was able to get past this error and to the server select screen by using the d3dx9_30.dll file posted on the wine site.

the direct download is here: http://angeliqe.com/d3dx9_30.dll

I did not need to use this file to get titanium to work. And I have not gotten past the login yet because I need to tweak my eqclient.ini file a bit. For some reason when I alt+ enter out of full screen, i enter windowed mode but the window stays black, and I can't alt+tab back. Plus I still have the full screen mouse issue, so I really cant click on anything to progress further. You can only tab so far.

[cubber]

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.

[cubber]

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!

[trevius]

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

[cubber]

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

[cubber]

You DO NOT need the pcaps fix for SoF, you only need to place the .dll file from here http://angeliqe.com/d3dx9_30.dll into your EverQuest directory.

However if you are still running titanium you need the pcaps fix for that, and SoF will run fine with the pcaps fix.

[cubber]

I just moved to gnome from xfce4 and now I can play eqemu under the SOF client in fullscreen without any issues with my mouse!
