Hi all!

How is modding going on linux at the moment? I wanted to definetely throw out Windows of the window ( ) because it is really giving me a lot of problems and I wanted to pass to a debian distribution.

Do some of you mod in linux? I mean gothic 2. I don't need it at 60 FPS with full graphic, I just need it to run, compile scripts, and run spacer. May it be possible with WINE, or ReGoth?

Thanks to whoever answers.

No idea about the Spacer but G2 NotR runs perfectly fine with Wine (out of the box even).

...but G2 NotR runs perfectly fine with Wine (out of the box even).

Still have to disable music, though. Otherwise it likes to crash after a few minutes.

[Frank-95]

Thank you, music is not a problem as far as I'm concerned.

@Degenerated Is ReGoth still not an option for a stable game?

[Degenerated]

Depends on what you want to achieve. It can't compile any game files itself however, so you'd need the original game anyways.

[Frank-95]

I would need to mod exactly like I do on windows. In particular spacer and scripts compiling.

Anyway I don't understand your answer, probably because I haven't understood what ReGoth is for. Isn't that a "native" port of gothic for linux? What do you mean by "you need the original gothic"? How can ReGoth help me if I have already original gothic installed?

[Lehona]

ReGoth is not a port. It's a new engine written basically from scratch, that is able to understand the gothic gamefiles. It's also supposed to (mostly) replicate the original engine, i.e. when it's done, you should be able to load the gamefiles and play like you'd play the actual game.

It is, however, not yet finished and many things are missing, such as compilation of source files.

The more you know - I never had music enabled ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I am a devuan user (basically debian without systemd crap).

I'm using WINE version 1.7.9.

Both Spacer for Gothic 1 and 2 works fine. You can run it, edit zens, compile worlds, compile scripts, everything. The only annoying thing in Spacer for Gothic 1 is the fact that in my setup the window has a 640x480 resolution, and the whole desktop will get a bit darker. Not sure what cause this, maybe it won't happen on your setup.

To enable music I copy a few native directmusic .ddl to WINEPREFIX system32 dir. A few others are needed for other modding tools like GoMan.

cp *.dll $WINEPREFIX/drive_c/windows/system32/

Blender 2.66 and KrxImpExp runs without any issues with WINE.

I have no issues running GoMan, GothicSourcer, GothicVDFS, RadTools.

For scripting I use textadept.

[Frank-95]

@Lehona thank you, I got it.

@catalinux Thank you very much indeed, you have just convinced me :P Do you think that on ubuntu or mint would run anyway?

[catalinux]

Do you think that on ubuntu or mint would run anyway?

Yes, you will be fine. Ubuntu and Mint are well known for being more user-friendly than Debian. Many things work out-of-the-box.

No new/old problems on Debian 9 here (I'm using the Debian 'testing' branch for ages).
Well, I never tested it with music enabled (I don't expect the Wine team to include the required sound font dependencies, that are part of DirectMusic the run-time).
In my opinion Wine does a better job in supporting DirectDraw and pre-DX9 games than the current Windows versions...

It may be a bit off-topic, but is it possible to get Stampfer running on Linux?

What is Stampfer?

[catalinux]

err:mscoree:load_mono Could not load Mono into this process

Stampfer needs mono. It should work if wine-mono is installed.

[Goldhand]

Great, thanks!

I managed to make gothic work fine but I have some problem with script compiling.

I have Mint 18.1 x64, and I installed Gothic via Wine 2.18 x86 (but I tried older versions too). In winecfg I set "capture mouse", enabled virtual desktop, set windows XP and installed directmusic and gdiplus.

Practically when I run gothic by gothicstarter with "script analysis" ticked, I got stucked at compiling, it doesn't access the main menu.

Have you ever experienced this?

[NicoDE]

Have you ever experienced this?

Not yet. It's slow but in the end the menu shows up.
Debian testing (stretch/buster with wine-development 2.18-1 here).

[Frank-95]

How much slow? Even minutes?

[Dada]

Oh, even on Windows it can take minutes to compile. So, just give it a try, let it compile and drink some coffee
