My question: would my last suggestion even work? Does anyone know? The winbloze sheep wouldn't even notice this change and the Launcher/Updater would still function as before.
Closing out the launcher after it finished would return it to it's default state. Yesterday, I made the suggestion to merely make a flag in the Launcher/Updater to designate where the updated files would go to, rather than only the default location. What you saw above was the only response. Another player responded that this would be too expensive as it would be helping out too small a segment of the player population. Listing what files are updated with the Launcher/Updater so I could select just those files, and copy those to my Wine installation.no response.Īnother Linux user made the suggestion to host the updated files on an FTP server. However, it's not very convenient to do this, as it can take almost fifteen minutes to copy this directory to a flash drive, and another five minutes to paste those files over my Wine installation. I was very happy to discover that this works. I only recently discovered that I could actually *see* the objects that were written for the game back then by copying the entire game directory from a winbloze installation on another computer entirely and then writing over the files on my Wine directory with the files that were copied from the winbloze installation. No response from any developers concerning this problem. He had made some content for christmas (Lifeday in game) that I mentioned at the time that I couldn't see it. What I have problems with are getting updates, since the lead developer writes content for all the people that play the game, as rewards for playing the game. I have no problem starting and running the game.

But I do NOT generally recommend that people overwrite all their Windows partitions unless they are really, really sure they won't need it. I could go on but I think that should be enough.īottom line is, I love Linux, I don't need Photoshop et al, and I don't have any Windows any more. I can think of 4 off the top of my head and I'm forgetting some.

Too many desktop environments that use different code libraries. a properly written Windows program from 1995 should run in windows 10, whereas backwards and forwards compatibility simply don't work in Linux. But some of the main ones are:Ī lack of stable APIs. The issues are manifold re Linux support, or lack thereof. and OS X doesn't seem to have any problems getting support, does it? OS X has about 3.6% of the market while Linux has about 2% according to this. I don't have any good advice, but if I were into gaming or needed certain apps for work (Office or Photoshop e.g.) I would still have at least one Windows partition.

So, is there anyone out there that can offer me any advice on how to proceed? Books to download/read? People to engage in pvp ingame? LOL I guess I could email the developers at SWGEmu, who wrote a Launcher for their server for Linux users, but my roomie doesn't believe that they would have any desire to help me at all, since they're dedicated to their own server. The only thing is, I don't have any background to do this, and I have no idea where to even begin. These sort of responses have only infuriated me further, but I don't know what to do besides dig through the code that Reckoning is using for their Launchpad, and find what files are being updated, then writing a launcher just for Linux (and maybe Mac) users.
Since I have -no- coding experience, it's difficult deciphering just how to implement what he's advising. Whenever I mention Linux support to a developer, it seems as if he's laughing at me, and offers cryptic advice on what I need to do. Two years ago the lead developer mentioned in the same forums that he would like to write a 'basic' sort of launchpad for Linux users, and yet Linux users still have -nothing. I have encountered this sort of thing there before whenever I mention any kind of Linux support. Then for the other % that might attempt to use it and need additional support, once again just isn't worth headache of holding hand and support time. Code: Select all He'll (the lead developer) probably respond, however putting up a FTP server for something less than 1% of the community wants to use isn't worth the cost.
