    Ok. So I keep thinking that all this information scattered through now-9 pages of geekery, head-desking, and babbletext is a little unfair to any other Linux-using fans of the game (even for the stubborn ones like me :P)

    So I'm going to try and capture it all down into a single post, for everyone's sake (and Karu's sanity <3).

    DISCLAIMER: The following command line entries are for Debian-related distributions. If you use a Gentoo fork or RedHat/Fedora/Mandriva fork, take into consideration that not all entries can be simply copypasted to your Terminal as is (i.e. sudo, apt-get). Triple check before you hit Enter! :)

    Like Nintenduh covered in his last update, check if you have direct rendering:
    glxinfo|head
    name of display: :0
display: :0  screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: SGI
server glx version string: 1.4
server glx extensions:
    GLX_ARB_create_context, GLX_ARB_create_context_profile, 
    GLX_ARB_fbconfig_float, GLX_ARB_framebuffer_sRGB, GLX_ARB_multisample, 
    GLX_EXT_create_context_es2_profile, GLX_EXT_framebuffer_sRGB, 
    GLX_EXT_import_context, GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap, GLX_EXT_visual_info,

    If you do not see this ^
    sudo apt-get install mesa-utils
    I also recommend checking the DLLs list after you have winetricks installed/updated to a version that supports its GUI feature (see next step).

    -----

    2.

    If you have an older version of Wine, I recommend updating it. I am personally using 1.7.33 (slightly behind the current development release)

    Follow the instructions here

    You will also need:

    wine-gecko
    wine-mono
    sudo apt-get install winetricks
    or winetricks

    And, for winetricks, I very strongly recommend a version that enables the GUI.

    -----

    3.

    From the home page, download:

    eandb_demo.exe
    Net-7_Install.exe
    CharacterStarshipCreator.exe

    Also download:

    Karu's Net7Patcher.exe
    (see page 8 a link to its binary, if you prefer that)

    >> I recommend saving a copy of all of these files to a backup location. <<

    ~Optional Backup Link~

    >> cdata.dat <<

    Next, you will need a copy of the Net-7 certificate. As listed on page 8:
    openssl s_client -showcerts -connect sunrise.net-7.org:443
    CONNECTED(00000003)
depth=0 C = US, ST = California, L = Redwood City, O = Earth and Beyond Emulator Team, CN = local.net-7.org
verify error:num=18:self signed certificate

    In a program like Kate (I use KDE), copypaste the readout from -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- to -----END CERTIFICATE-----

    Save it as 'sunrise.net-7.org.crt'

    Keep a copy in a backup location (I chose to store mine in the 'trusted-certs' directory, which, for me, is located in '/usr/share/doc/dirmngr/examples/'

    -----

    5.

    Next, run this command line:
    WINEPREFIX=/home/user/.wine-enb wine rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL "C:\windows\system32\inetcpl.cpl"
    If this ^ doesn't work, check how Karu posted it on page 8.

    Running this command line should generate a new Wineprefix with a hidden directory labeled .wine-enb

    Note: Make sure you use WINEPREFIX=/home/user/.wine-enb before all commands associated with the installation from this point forward. Using the 'export' command will not guarantee that everything -particularly installation files- goes to the proper Wineprefix directory.

    The command line should generate a GUI window.

    In that window, proceed with the following:

    Content tab
    Certificates button
    Trusted Root Certification Authorities tab
    Import button
    Click 'Next' & locate the directory where you stored sunrise.net-7.org.crt
    Click 'Next' & select Automatically select certificate store
    Click 'Next' & then 'Finish' & it should successfully import the certificate.

    Close out of the GUI

    -----

    6. ~Optional~

    If you run this command line:
    WINEPREFIX=/home/user/.wine-enb winetricks --gui
    This should generate a GUI window for winetricks.

    Select the default Wineprefix (which was declared when you ran the command line) and hit 'Ok'

    Here, you can (among other things):

    check your DLL list

    Change settings (EnB needs Wine to run as Windows XP)

    Run winecfg (under Graphics, you may want to uncheck all of the Window settings, as I have encountered errors with them enabled)

    And, if you really mess up (like a did a few times :P):

    'Delete ALL DATA AND APPLICATIONS INSIDE THIS WINEPREFIX'

    (remember I said to make sure you have a backup of your installation files? This is why).

    The last option is a complete purge of that Wineprefix, and will allow you to start from scratch (see the instruction line for enabling the Net-7 certificate).

    -----

    7.

    INSTALLATION

    in your Terminal, change directory ('cd') to where you have stored your backup files for installation.

    >> 7a.
    WINEPREFIX=/home/user/.wine-enb wine start eandb_demo.exe
    Run the Installer.
    When creating the directory where files will be stored, I highly recommend simplifying it.

    i.e.:

    I chose to install in 'C:\Program Files\EnB' (which translates to '/home/user/.wine-enb/drive_c/Program\ Files/EnB' outside of Wine)

    And, I believe that Karu chose to install directly to 'C:\EnB' (which translates to /home/user/.wine-enb/drive_c/EnB' outside of Wine)

    Regardless what you choose, you will want to manually enter the directory path.
    I had issues with keeping the installation in the correct Wineprefix when I clicked to select the installation location.

    >> 7b.
    WINEPREFIX=/home/user/.wine-enb wine start Net-7_Installer.exe
    Install Net-7 as a subdirectory of where you installed EnB:

    i.e.

    'C:\Program Files\EnB\Net-7'

    and remember to manually enter the directory path.

    >> 7c.
    WINEPREFIX=/home/user/.wine-enb wine start CharacterStarshipCreator.exe
    I personally installed this to:

    'C:\Program Files\EnB\CnSC'

    I also went to the directory location after the installation (via Dolphin, for the ease of using a GUI), and renamed 'Character & Starship Creator.exe' to 'CnSC.exe'

    >> 7d.

    After you have installed the three main files, you will want to change directory ('cd') to where you have the backup downloads.

    You will want to copy Net7Patcher.exe to the same directory containing LaunchNet7.exe and net7proxy.exe.

    If you are not using a GUI, use the following command:
    cp Net7Patcher.exe -t /home/user/.wine-enb/drive_c/EnB_Directory/Net-7/bin
    Modify 'user' and 'EnB_Directory' as applicable.

    >> Check if cdata.dat is already located in '/home/user/.wine-enb/drive_c/EnB_Directory/Net-7/bin' If, after running the Net7Patcher (see below), refer to the backup link and make sure it is copied over. <<

    -----

    8.

    Next, run this command line:
    WINEPREFIX=/home/user/.wine-enb wine start Net7Patcher.exe --stdout --net7 "C:\EnB_Directory\Net-7" --client "C:\EnB_Directory\release"
    As above, modify 'user' and 'EnB_Directory' as applicable.

    Also, you will want to change directory ('cd') to /home/user/.wine-enb/drive_c/EnB_Directory/EBCONFIG

    Run the command line:
    WINEPREFIX=/home/user/.wine-enb wine start E\&BConfig.exe
    (Note: by the time I had to go through this process several times, I started including the WINEPREFIX in everything. :P)

    Here, you will be able to set the resolution of the game. I use a larger, external screen, so I moved the slider from the default settings to 1920x1080.

    You will also have a choice of Bilinear, Trilinear, or Anisotropic graphics.

    Click 'Apply' and then 'Ok'

    -----

    9.

    ENTERING THE GAME

    After you have added a Game Account via the menu option on http://www.net-7.org, you can enter the game via either of the following command prompts:
    WINEPREFIX=/home/user/.wine-enb wine wine start "C:\EnB_Directory\Net-7\bin\net7proxy.exe" /LADDRESS:0 /ADDRESS:74.208.192.215 /CLIENT:"C:\EnB_Directory\release\client.exe" /POPT /EXREORDER /DML
    or
    WINEPREFIX=/home/user/.wine-enb wine explorer.exe /desktop=EnB,1920x1080 "C:\EnB_Directory\Net-7\bin\net7proxy.exe" /LADDRESS:0 /ADDRESS:74.208.192.215 /CLIENT:"C:\EnB_Directory\release\client.exe" /POPT /EXREORDER /DML
    I prefer to use the latter method, as it "safeguards" the resolution I set for the game with the resolution of my screen (even if I set it to fullscreen under the same resolution settings). Also, if you happen to have chosen a smaller resolution, with a Windowed setting, this is definitely the better choice.

    Enter the game, wave hello to Megan, and click 'Cancel' on the popup dialogue.

    This will load the login screen.

    Enter your linked account information, and you should be good to go. :)

    * * 0Oo. Accessing the three new character classes via Linux .oO0 * *

    Figuring this out involved much head-desking on my behalf! Thankfully, no bruises were acquired. :P

    Step a. The Definitely Easy Part

    change directory ('cd') to '/home/user/.wine-enb/drive_c/EnB_Directory/CnSC_Directory'

    Run the command line:
    WINEPREFIX=/home/user/.wine-enb wine explorer.exe /desktop=EnB_CnSC,1920x1080 CnSC.exe -noclassrestrictions
    CnSC.exe will run, no matter what you do, at an 800x600 resolution. I found out the hard way that this can seriously mess with my desktop resolution settings if I don't align it to run windowed in a virtual enviroment (Mine auto-collapses to just show the windowed CnSC application against my Linux desktop, which is nice).

    Your next steps will be similar to how 'Magoo described it in his guide thread.

    > Use the arrow keys at the bottom to select the "hidden" extra classes.

    > Once you select one of the extra classes, you can cycle through special skins using 'N'

    > Do not try to customize your appearance if you use 'N'

    > After you finish making your new character, click 'Next' to return to the main list of creatable character slots.

    > You will have defaultly created a character in slot #1.

    > Quit the CnSC

    > Follow 'Magoo's instructions if you already have a character in that slot, in the game.

    Steb b. The Hopefully Easy Part

    This is where I discovered that making sure you use WINEPREFIX is so important.

    Provided that everything installed correctly, you should be able to find the new Avatar#.dat (where # is 1-6) located in this approximate directory:

    '/home/user/.wine-enb/drive_c/users/Public/Application Data/Westwood Studios/Earth and Beyond/Character and Starship Creator/'

    the 'user' directory pertains, as above, to your user identity.

    the 'users' directory does not pertain, as above, to your user identity.

    So, if your Avatar#.dat file is located in this approximate directory, IN THE CORRECT WINEPREFIX! <---

    Then you should automatically import the character to your account the next time you log in to the game via the command line listed above.

    -----

    >> I initially encountered some issues with the game crashing when I first attempted this, but I attributed it to having initially messed up the installation process, and overlooking something. However, if this happens for you, make sure all the important installation files are backed up and purge the Wineprefix (via the winetricks GUI) and start over.

  3. Posted · Edited by Nimsy

    Yes, I attempted to reinstall a few times using the correct Wineprefix... short of purging EnB and all downloaded installation files and starting over from literally scratch.

    And yes, I do see the dialogue you are referring to, so thanks. :)

    -----

    Purging is exactly what I did... Also, I think there might have been an error with using the GUI to set the custom installation path. I am beginning to suspect that it might have 'defaulted' to the .wine directory (it only shows the directory paths as you would see them on a hypothetical WinXP machine, so it's only a best guess).

    I haven't quite gotten around to trying to run the Creator again. I'm still double-checking the reinstallation process.

    Will update soon.

    -----

    It works :)

    I had to completely purge the entire .wine-enb Wineprefix and start over (including re-accepting the certificate... but yay for having already troubleshooted that resolution <3).

    I couldn't tell you what I missed before. But I will say -for anyone who follows in my footsteps- triplecheck every letter, / and symbol (and \ for spaces and &) before you enter into each installation.

    -----

    Though, sadly, it seems that the game crashes when I try to log in with the character I created in the CnSC.

    Crash Dump

    Edit: It appears to be crashing when I try to login with any character, now. New development, as I was successfully ingame for an hour or so last night.

    -----

    Going thru the process again, nitpicking over anywhere I could have overlooked (again).


    Update: I chose NOT to run enb-up.exe this time, in the process of reinstallation. It doesn't really make sense that that would necessarily be the reason, but I'm ingame on my CnSC created character <3

    Also:

    I am fairly positive that I don't have an enb.reg file.

    Is it safe to make it in Kate? If I did, where should it be stored?

  4. Posted · Edited by Nimsy

    I checked the authlogin.log file and it's trying to connect to the EA servers instead of sunrise.net-7.org or login.net-7.org

    LaunchNet7.exe still won't run (presumably because of that other libgluezilla issue)

    I am running via:
     
    WINEPREFIX=/home/user/.wine-enb wine start "C:\Program Files\EnB_Emu\Net-7\bin\net7proxy.exe" /LADDRESS:0 /ADDRESS:74.208.192.215 /CLIENT:"C:\Program Files\EnB_Emu\release\client.exe" /POPT /EXREORDER /DML
    So why is it not recognizing the ISP for the Net-7 server?

    -----
     
    WINEPREFIX=/home/user/.wine-enb wine explorer.exe /desktop=EnB,1920x1080 "C:\Program Files\EnB_Emu\Net-7\bin\net7proxy.exe" /LADDRESS:0 /ADDRESS:74.208.192.215 /CLIENT:"C:\Program Files\EnB_Emu\release\client.exe" /POPT /EXREORDER /DML
    It works \\\\^-^////

    Except the character I made in the Character and Starship Creator didn't transfer over. So now I gotta figure that out. :P

    Karu, you are the definition of awesome.

    Do you think there's a way to update the first post to this so other Linux users don't have to swim through all the post-babble I've put you through :P ?

    -----

    Still can't get the char file I made in the Character and Starship Creator to transfer over. I haven't created any characters after logging into the game, yet. I'm mostly concerned with the fact that the Creator says something about "once you install the full retail version" at the end of the process.

    -----

    So what if the creator is saving the created character but not? I certainly can't find any .dat file that seems to be the correct one (and there is definitely no Avatar1.dat)

    There is something to be said for Agent Ransack (although it crashes the moment you click on any search results).

    So I located Avatar1.dat

    And I was able to pinpoint that the Creator keeps sending the finished character to the wrong wineprefix.

    I went so far as to delete the other wineprefix, for now, and make sure to set the wineprefix I want when I run the Creator.

    However, the game is still not recognizing the character from the Creator process.

    I'll keep this post updated if I make any further progress.

    -----

    If I run the Creator under the Wineprefix /home/user/.wine-enb, then I am able to go through the process, but it does not save the .dat file to that Wineprefix directory.

    If I run it without declaring the Wineprefix, it will re-setup /home/user/.wine and create a .dat file there.

    I am, thusfar, unable to get the game to recognize the .dat file in the other wineprefix.

    But, I can create a character in the game itself and enter the game, thanks to your awesome help, Karu. So thanks. :)

    Aye, I did that a long time ago.

    It says I have 1 Game Account and 8 free spots remaining.

    My main password uses symbols in it (pretty sure I used the same password when I linked the Game account, but now it doesn't want me to use symbols). I don't mind re-linking. Is there a way to clear out the first link I made?

    -----

    This is after I linked a new game account:

    Default wineprefix is ~/.wine and it probably crashed because of some windows dlls (maybe crypt32, maybe not).
    Thats why it's important to split different apps into own wineprefix so they dont conflict each other and you can setup registry exactly how that single app needs


    I will definitely remember that.

    So, I've managed to progress to no INV-300 (no popup at all... is that a good thing?), but Megan keeps saying she is unable to validate my login information.

  9. Posted · Edited by Nimsy

    It's not that they are extra so much as winetricks --gui gives an easy way to get the DLLs you need... has a rather large list of them, but I'd say I have less than half in all honesty.

    I'm running 1.7.33

    But I knew that already cause I upgraded my Wine when I switched to SparkyLinux and upgraded my Debian kernel.

    So, after I changed the WINEPREFIX (back) to /home/user/.wine-enb, and it took the time to create the configuration directory (that didn't happen the first time). Then it paused while it updated. Then it loaded the gui for inetclp.clp.

    This time it didn't crash when I selected the tab for Trusted Root Certification Authorities :)

    So why is it that it created the directory this time and not the first time?

    At any rate, I now have a trusted certificate listed for local.net-7.org :)

    But now I need to relocate the game to the new prefix >.>;

    I'll let you know how the game loads once I finish that. :)

    -----

    INV-300

    Not nearly so happy to see it this time. >.>

    In more positive news, this:

    WINEPREFIX=/home/user/.wine-enb wine Net7Patcher.exe --stdout --net7 "c:\Program Files\EnB_Emu\Net-7" --client "c:\Program Files\EnB_Emu\release"
    worked beautifully for me.

    never run wine as root. never


    I know! >.< ... >.> My head kept saying "check if there's a permission error, like almost everything else you try to do" -- especially cause the error concerning my driver/X server/$DISPLAY didn't make much sense to me.

    $ xterm -version
    XTerm(312)

    Yes, I can run winecfg

    The WINEPREFIX is modified from what you posted already.

    My default WINEPREFIX is /home/user/.wine

    The readout was the same with and without sudo.

    But now there's an update. I ran winetricks --gui, reselected the default WINEPREFIX, and checked the DLLs as well as the settings.

    It appears that something I did there "fixed" part of the problem, because I was able to initially load the gui for inetcpl.cpl.

    However, when I went to click the tab for 'Trusted Root Certification Authorities', the gui crashed with this bug report

    and this:

    Well, now that I know "run this" referred to the command line containing "inetcpl.cpl" in specific, then I can post the following, and maybe you have some insight concerning it.

    Any gui that I interacted with previously, had to do with opening the listed .crt/.pem in the default Kleopatra and seeing if they were the correct alternative for the "Trusted Root" section.

    I did that because I had previously attributed "run this" to refer to the command line: "openssl s_client -showcerts -connect sunrise.net-7.org:443"

    And I had interpreted 'Content -> Certificates -> Trusted Root Certification Authorities' to be a directory path.

    So I mixed things up, sorry.

    So then this would appear to be the relevant problem (that I've been trying to research without much luck):
     
    WINEPREFIX=~/.wine wine rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL c:/windows/system32/inetcpl.cpl
No protocol specified
No protocol specified
Application tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded.
Make sure that your X server is running and that $DISPLAY is set correctly.
    and
    WINEPREFIX=~/.wine wine rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL "c:\windows\system32\inetcpl.cpl"
No protocol specified
Application tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded.
Make sure that your X server is running and that $DISPLAY is set correctly.
    I have run both of the above commands as user, sudo and root with no difference to be noted.

    Additional note: As far as I am aware, my drivers are all up to date (according to my Device Driver Manager). The last time I messed around with alternative drivers (my laptop's native screen was dying, and I had not determined if it was a hardware problem), I ended up crashing my OS to shell and was forced to reinstall. :P

    I do not have anything resembling 'Content -> Certificates -> Trusted Root Certification Authorities'

    I did locate:

    Atos_TrustedRoot_2011.crt
    Atos_TrustedRoot_2011.pem

    Comodo_Trusted_Services_root.crt
    Comodo_Trusted_Services_root.pem

    DigiCert_Trusted_Root_G4.crt
    DigiCert_Trusted_Root_G4.pem

    All of these opened with Kleopatra but would not import sunrise.net-7.org.crt (should I have saved it otherwise?)

    Kleopatra returns a BER error every time.

    I also found a directory called 'trusted-certs' under '/usr/share/doc/dirmngr/examples/trusted-certs/' that contained pre-existing .crt files

    I moved sunrise.net-7.org.crt to this directory for now.

    Advice?

    Does the entire readout need to be copied or just the segment marked by:

    -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----

    -----END CERTIFICATE-----

    If you foolishly installed EnB into program files directory


    Hey now, what's foolish about not over-customizing the directory location during installation :P ?

    Anyway, I'll get started on your instructions right away. :)

    I'm back to the INV-300. :)

    Is it sad that I'm actually happy to see that error? :P

    Also, interestingly enough, cdata.dat never replaced an existing file (I moved it to /Net-7/bin, in the EnB_Emu directory). It should have occurred to me to check if everything was where it should be after I reinstalled during our previous troubleshooting.

    and dont forget these /POPT /EXREORDER /DML
    and all switches must be upper case


    I never took them out of the .bat file. I just tried different combinations with the manual command entry. :P

    two popups.

    One says "Incompatible version of Net7Proxy. Latest version is 2.41"

    Is there a new download and/or manual patch available?

    I went ahead and did a complete reinstallation.

    Doublechecked that winetricks had crypt32.dll in its list.

    I get the same result from trying to run net7proxy.bat

    I feel like I inadvertantly messed something up somewhere... I'm positive everything in the .bat file matches what it contained before, when it worked as far as the INV-300... and I have not the slightest idea how to figure out what it might be.

    When I use wine cmd to try and launch client.exe on its own, I get as far as "Couldn't connect to the server, try again later."

    Yea, I'm definitely running with cmd /c

    Though I'm positive the error is not in whether I am using start or cmd /c or explorer.exe

    And I've quadruple-checked the directory path where client.exe is. :/

    ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/EnB_Emu/release/client.exe

    I have been using explorer.exe, but maybe it's the problem with the inaccurate IP?  I'll research how to check the nameserver settings, then.

     

    And mental note filed on the rest.  :P

     

    -----

     

    Modifying the IP address to what you posted still returns an error, albeit I'm back to the one I posted much earlier.

     

    Also, I am using wine cmd /c instead of the command to load the virtual desktop, for now.

    While mostly unrelated, I did find that E&BConfig.exe was very picky with what resolution I chose to run along with Wine.  It also severely dislikes (for me) Windowed mode.

    Also, the test is pretty important for determining if he should run bilinear, trilinear or anisotropic.  Most likely bilinear if it's an older machine with a not-gaming-specific graphics card.

      go to client.exe directory in linux terminal and run
    wine explorer.exe /desktop=enb,1024x768 client.exe -SERVER_ADDR sunrise.net-7.org

     

    This got me to INV-300.  I still have no idea how to get around the certificate thing.


     

      you should check client path you give to proxy.

     

     

    Ok, will do.

    c:
cd "c:\Program Files\EnB_Emu\Net-7\bin"
net7proxy.exe /ADDRESS:141.8.225.73 /CLIENT:"c:\Program Files\EnB_Emu\release\client.exe" /POPT /EXREORDER /DML
    I pinged sunrise.net-7.org and found that the IP had changed.  I modified it.

    Everything else still appears to match the instructions you gave me on page 6.

     

     


     

    If client shows eula and first screen, but exits before login screen, then I had to edit user.reg (probably ~/.wine/user.reg) and change "UseGLSL" to "enabled" (was disabled)

     

     

     

    This did not happen (thankfully), but I checked user.reg anyway.  There doesn't seem to be any listing for UseGLSL.

    -----

    I also found this:  http://gentoo.linuxhowtos.org/portage/app-emulation/wine

     

    (it lists +ssl as a USE-flag)

    and: http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:X86/Working/USE#What_are_USE_flags

    Which sadly has nothing to do with Debian, or my distribution.

    So far, looking up alternatives to USE-flags for Debian yields nothing.  Still, I wonder if there isn't some clue there that we could use.

    -----

    It is hypothetically possible to compile portage for Debian.  The only guide I can find is from ~ 10 years ago, however.  I am also a clueless little twit when it comes to shell scripts.

    Update:  I have scoured net7proxy.bat and have copypasted your posted contents a few times now.  I only edited the IP address and the path-part where Earth & Beyond needed to read EnB_Emu instead.

    Yet I continue to receive:

    All right.

     

    So I discovered that my OS overhaul was not enough.  All of the features that I was familiar with and had worked beautifully for the last two years started erroring or not functioning at all.  I am still not sure what exactly was at the root, but the OS wasn't updated since last year and no amount of reworking the sources.list made it possible to update/upgrade or even manually compile.

    So I did some research and came across a lovely little beast called http://sparkylinux.org/ (specifically the GameOver distribution).  Only thing was, I can't stand Gnome to save my life, so I had to do a few major overhauls post-installation.

     

    But what a beautiful distribution it is, now that I've replaced Gnome with KDE.

    I'm updated with Debian Jessie (Testing), 3.18 kernel and I have a fully functional compilation of Wine 1.7

    I can cross my fingers and hope that this will help with further troubleshooting so that I can get back in the game again.  :)
