Titanium and Wine

I figured out the old school model issue. I did not have my server running and just logged into a random one that was kurnark only. So they must have been disabled on the server. When I logged into my server I have models using a fresh copy of the posted eqclient.ini file. I enabled sound and tweaked up my settings a bit but have yet to enable pixel shaders. All seems to be working now except full screen with the mouse.

I am also noticing that the mouse pointer location is a bit off in windowed mode. I have to click slightly lower than stuff to actually click it if it is small. Like the boxes in options.

I have the mouse issue too in windowed mode ( I like windowed better) - but works fine full screen.
What took away the "client crashing' for me was the new eqclient.ini I used from the link.

try loading your 'default_old' ui files, see if that might help.

I do not have an issue with the mouse pointer being off if I use a windowed resolution smaller than my screen resolution. IE 1280x960 instead of 1680x1050

Would be nice to get full screen working though.

Update:

I can use 1.1 pixel shaders

if I enable 1.4 or 2.0 I crash at character select

I can enable Use Advanced Lighting but it creates some wierd flashing colors in the background on character select also.

Shadows work, but I always found them to be a resource hog.

As for playablity , minus the above issues and the full screen mouse issue, it works just as good as it did on windows.

I just found out I cannot see spell effects. I made a monk to test and never used spells. But after I made a cleric and shammy bot and noticed that I did not see anything they casted did I realize that spell effects were not showing.

I then created a necro and tried to cast and did not see the effects. Just heard the sound and saw the hp drop on the bat.

I have spell effects set to high density and farthest plus opacity is at 100%.

Do you also have this issue angelox?

I used to have problems like that with Cedega. I have Mandriva 2009 with an NVidia GForce 6100 card - I have Resolution at 1024x768 with desktop and eq client set to 16 million colors.
In my hardware setting for the "Graphic Card options", I had to enable Translucency, Use Hardware accelerated mouse pointer, Enable RENDER acceleration. (wasn't like that by default). I don't know if that helps the game, but you might want to try it out.

EDIT I can get everything to work on mine (all pixel shader versions, lighting, etc.)

When you say graphics card options, I take it you mean a gui interface that configures xorg.conf for you? I do not see any of those settings in nvidia settings but it sounds like some of the settings you would manually add to xorg.conf.

I have RenderAccell set to true
I also have compositing set to enabled

The wierd thing is I can see the spell effect that shows on a character when the level up as well as when I #bot update my bots. Just nothing else.

I guess that's why I chose to stay with Mandrake (Mandriva) all these years; since they were the most 'Windows-like' , it made my migration from Windows to Linux much easier. 'mandriva-drakconf' is a graphical Gui for configuring things like Hardware and a few other things (since I suck at typing, I look for these things anyway).
If you're seeing partial spell effects, than it must be working - maybe you have something unchecked in your client config?
Did you try setting desktop and client to resolution at 1024x768 with desktop and eq client set to 16 million colors?
