That sounds awesome.  :) I did an OS overhaul last night (repartitioned the /root among other things, so I had a bit more room to play around with libraries and dependencies).  Since I did a clean re-format of that partition (it's easier for me to deal with a clean slate), I'm in the process of building everything back up from scratch. Also, I am taking the time to get re-acquainted with compiling stuff again.  I really have allowed myself to get too lazy with aptitude/apt-get.  :P Working on building up the most recent, unstable version of Wine (even though I was avoiding it before).

./rests her chin in her palm and frowns   So close, and so far.

Ehm...   I haven't had to straight-up compile anything for many years (apt-get makes for one lazy Linux brat). Plus, I don't want to mess up my existing installation of Wine.   Advice, please?   [Edit] And just to be very clear... this is the same INV-300 error that refers to a certificate error? Cause I am not actually seeing any dialogue concerning a certificate (or a request to download it)

Erroneous spaces have been duly removed <3 Also, I have now (close) encountered (of the third kind) the "INV-300" error. Also, on a semi-related note, I figured out how to make the new classes accessible in the Character and Starship Creator via Terminal command.  Which has made me ridiculously happy with my geekery at the present moment.

  ./snerk   All I am getting is this:   wine: Bad EXE format for C:\Program Files\EnB_Emu\Net-7\bin\net7proxy.bat.

cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/EnB_Emu/release/ wine client.exe   Loaded fine, played introductory movie. Popped up that it couldn't connect to server and closed when I clicked "Ok"  (of course). I honestly don't expect too much trouble from the game itself, considering the Character and Starship Creator never gave me issues. Is there something specific you want me to look for and report back?

Ah.  I will fix that. Also, I found this:  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=694948 Which is not particularly a positive note for the webbrowser issue.  I'm still rooting around for alternative libraries/dependencies.  Would you have any idea how to make it so it doesn't call-to for an obsolete library?

Well, isolating the cause of the error helps... a little bit. Also, client.exe is located at: ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/EnB_Emu/release/client.exe So, therefore... cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/EnB_Emu/Net-7/bin net7proxy.exe /ADDRESS: 74.208.192.215 /CLIENT: "~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/EnB_Emu/release/client.exe" /POPT /EXREORDER /DML ^ ? Is that supposed to be without the wine prefix to run net7proxy.exe?   [Update] I input the above in a Kate file and named it 'net7proxy.bat' Then I set it to executable. Also, I may have found a possible alternative to libgluezilla.  I'm not raising my hopes until I can test it, though.

Thank you, Karu, for the information and links.  I will see if that yields any measure of improvement.   :) --   [Update] I followed the above instructions as closely as I was able to. The Linux instructions to create a batch file only yielded advice concerning an .sh (shell) extension. If I were to manually write a .bat file (via, i.e., Kate), do you know what would be pertinent? The path where LaunchNet7.exe is located:  /home/username/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/EnB_Emu/Net-7/bin I am still receiving the error regarding libgluezilla in Terminal, and LaunchNet7 never actually loads. I have looked at both LaunchNet7.cfg and LauncherConfig.cfg If libgluezilla refers specifically to webbrowser support, would the error be centered in what the Launcher uses to natively display patch notes, and call-to for the AutoUpdate command?

  Greetings!   It's good to stretch my virtual legs in the Net-7 realm, again.   It has been several years since I played before.  Things certainly seem to have changed, but I am glad to find it still alive and kicking.   :)   However, in the process of wanting to come back and soar around the galaxy, I inevitably ran into a few hangups (primarily with obsolete elements in this guide thread).   The URL listed for "net7setup.exe" is no longer accessible.  Neither is the URL listed for "hNet7_1.8.0.exe".  Are either of these downloads still relevant? I have the most relevant version of Mono, given that I am choosing to run the most recent stable version of Wine (1.6.2) versus the newest unstable version. I was able to run the "E&BConfig.exe" as well as the "Character and Starship Creator.exe" without any problems whatsoever, so I am thinking that the game will be fine once I can figure out the main problem I am encountering. And that is concerning the "LaunchNet7.exe". $ sudo wine LaunchNet7.exe libgluezilla not found. To have webbrowser support, you need libgluezilla installed fixme:wincodecs:PngDecoder_Block_GetCount 0x142df10,0x33efd8: stub fixme:wincodecs:PngDecoder_Block_GetCount 0x142df10,0x33efd8: stub fixme:wincodecs:PngDecoder_Block_GetCount 0x1497c90,0x33e8d8: stub fixme:wincodecs:PngDecoder_Block_GetCount 0x13e1310,0x33e8d8: stub fixme:wincodecs:PngDecoder_Block_GetCount 0x13e1180,0x33e8d8: stub fixme:wincodecs:PngDecoder_Block_GetCount 0x13e1258,0x33e8d8: stub fixme:wincodecs:PngDecoder_Block_GetCount 0x13e1258,0x33e8d8: stub fixme:wincodecs:PngDecoder_Block_GetCount 0x13ea348,0x33e8d8: stub fixme:wincodecs:PngDecoder_Block_GetCount 0x13ea378,0x33e8d8: stub fixme:wincodecs:PngDecoder_Block_GetCount 0x13e9708,0x33ef18: stub fixme:wincodecs:PngDecoder_Block_GetCount 0x14fa498,0x33ef18: stub fixme:wincodecs:PngDecoder_Block_GetCount 0x1503db8,0x33e8d8: stub fixme:wincodecs:PngDecoder_Block_GetCount 0x1503da0,0x33ef18: stub fixme:wincodecs:PngDecoder_Block_GetCount 0x15805d8,0x33f3e8: stub System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object at System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser.Refresh (WebBrowserRefreshOption opt) [0x00000] in :0 at System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser.Refresh () [0x00000] in :0 at System.Windows.Forms.Control.OnEnabledChanged (System.EventArgs e) [0x00000] in :0 at System.Windows.Forms.Control.OnParentEnabledChanged (System.EventArgs e) [0x00000] in :0 at System.Windows.Forms.Control.OnEnabledChanged (System.EventArgs e) [0x00000] in :0 at System.Windows.Forms.Control.OnParentEnabledChanged (System.EventArgs e) [0x00000] in :0 at System.Windows.Forms.Control.OnEnabledChanged (System.EventArgs e) [0x00000] in :0 at System.Windows.Forms.Form.OnEnabledChanged (System.EventArgs e) [0x00000] in :0 at System.Windows.Forms.Control.set_Enabled (Boolean value) [0x00000] in :0 at (wrapper remoting-invoke-with-check) System.Windows.Forms.Control:set_Enabled (bool) at System.Windows.Forms.Form.ShowDialog (IWin32Window owner) [0x00000] in :0 at System.Windows.Forms.Form.ShowDialog () [0x00000] in :0 at System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox+MessageBoxForm.RunDialog () [0x00000] in :0 at (wrapper remoting-invoke-with-check) System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox/MessageBoxForm:RunDialog () at System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show (IWin32Window owner, System.String text, System.String caption, MessageBoxButtons buttons, MessageBoxIcon icon) [0x00000] in :0  at LaunchNet7.FormMain.DoDisplayWebpage (System.String url) [0x00000] in :0  at LaunchNet7.FormMain.FormMain_Load (System.Object sender, System.EventArgs e) [0x00000] in :0  at System.Windows.Forms.Form.OnLoad (System.EventArgs e) [0x00000] in :0  at System.Windows.Forms.Form.OnLoadInternal (System.EventArgs e) [0x00000] in :0  ^Cfixme:console:CONSOLE_DefaultHandler Terminating process 27 on event 0  err:mscoree:expect_no_runtimes Process exited with a Mono runtime loaded.   Also:   $ sudo apt-get install libgluezilla Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree  Reading state information... Done Package libgluezilla is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package 'libgluezilla' has no installation candidate -- libgluezilla appears to be a ghost library/dependency. As you can see, apt-get does not recognize it. And searching for an external source of it (or an alternative) is so far proving fruitless.  All I can find (so far) are backdated references to when the library/dependency was still accessible (and no longer is), or references routing back to Mono.

So I recently remembered playing with this emulator several years ago, and was thinking that I missed it. So I'm poking around and planning to see how well it cooperates with Wine (I'm on Solyd K Linux, based off Linux Mint Debian). Anyone have any pointers if they are already successfully running the emulator on Linux? Also, I'm jumping back into this with no memory of the species or what they are really best for.  Info & pointers would be fantastic!
