Back to XP

Well after much fussing with it, I reinstalled XP. Very sad to do so but I want to play. lol

I am back on Azazel, playing my Magus. oRVR has come a long way since I last played. Mythic needs to do some server merges though so we overall have at least medium populations on all the servers.

Well off to school. Later.

WAR & Linux PART 1

So I got fed up with not being able to use my microphone and went back to Ubuntu, but wasn't sure how well Warhammer was gonna run. So for the past 3 hours, I have been fiddling with it to make it work, and at last:




I have the patcher working! The script provided on WineHQ that involves replacing the warpatcher.exe and .bin is broken. All you have to do is initially start warpatcher.exe, which will patch the warpatcher.bin file. After that, you have to reset all the permissions for the user to read and write files and that warpatcher.bin can be executed as a program. Then you type: wine warpatcher.bin in the console and boom! Patch time!

I am gonna have a celebration snack and post back when I am in game. ^^

*UPDATE* Well I am unable to determine the exact reason why it's not working so looks like no WAR for me. = ( http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=13139
