Titanium and Wine

Here are a couple other scripts that I have been using:

This one starts the eqclient.exe file with the patchme flag and binds it to cpu0

I call it start and put it in your EverQuest folder.

#!/bin/sh

#start eqgame.exe on cpu0 and bypass the patcher.
taskset -c 0 wine eqgame.exe patchme

This launches the game in it's own X session and will give a boost in performance. You can launch this from the console without logging into your Window Manager to free up resources. This calls the start script above that is located in your EverQuest directory. Edit it to suit your needs.

#!/bin/sh

#Start EQ in a separate X session
X :3 -ac &
cd "/home/insert-your-user-here/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Sony/EverQuest"
sleep 2
DISPLAY=:3 ./start

I just tested this and it works fine. This just combines the two scripts in my last post into one. Now I need to figure out how to use devilspie with this and it will be perfect.

#!/bin/sh

#Start EQ in a separate X session
X :3 -ac &
cd "/home/insert-your-user-here/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Sony/EverQuest"
sleep 2
DISPLAY=:3 taskset -c 0 wine eqgame.exe patchme

This devilspie file only removes the window decorations from EQ. Still need to run devilspie after you get into character select.

Name the file EverQuest.ds and put it in your .devilspie directory.

( if
( and
( contains ( window_name ) "EverQuest" )
)
( begin
( undecorate )
( println "match" )
)
)

Wine comes with a configuration manager called 'winecfg' (at least the source package does) - run 'winecfig', and in one of the tab options, you can manipulate the application into a window and specify a few things like window size.

I have setup winecfg. It is the first thing I do when I install wine. Devilspie does a lot more.

I can't help too much but my dad is running windows xp and he too had the same mouse issue in full screen. I did some looking and couldn't really find a fix, but it was an xp issue, not an eq issue. My guess is that it has something to do with directx. He has since gotten a new pc and it is working fine from the start.


Anyway, hope this helps in some way.
