Lineage 2 on Linux

[Versus]

Guide to Running L2 on Linux

 

Not supported by NC Soft do not direct questions to there support department.

 

Major Issues

 

Mouse will Double Click on random areas, Known Spots listed below (along with ways around it)

 

System Button (Press Alt+X)

Options Button (Manually Edit file options.ini)

Community Button (Alt+cool.gif

Inventory Button (Alt+V)

Map in Hotbar (Alt+V Double Click Map)

Sit Button (Type /sit or /stand

Trade Window # select (if you wanted to trade 1 suede you would need to use keyboard as number pad double clicks and makes it 11)

Hotbar Pages (Alt-F1-F10)

Hotbar Vertical-Horizontal (Trick to this takes a bit of effort. Click the swirl arrow and drag away fast bout all I can say eventually you will beat the double click. I advise doing this in a safe area biggrin.gif)

Minor Issues

 

Buildings Gamma is off

Some Armor Does not Render color but remains solid black.

When looking up at sky armor renders that was solid black??? I am confused on this one. Will try to get it working.

Water does not reflect.

When loading game do not move mouse till you see login screen where you can type userinfo. If you do so your mouse will be out of sync.

Working Properly

 

Spellcasting

Death

Traders

Merchants

Hotbar!!!

Targeting

All forms of Chat

Navigating Inventory/Status once open.

Exit Game

Patching

Character Selection

Dragging Icons to hotbar, Trade, Equip (they remain invisible tho but you are moving them KEEP IN MIND THIS POINT!)

 

~~~~~~~~ Patches To CVS ~~~~~~~~

Below allows for the mouse to not get out of sync when mouselooking, I will try to explain this as best as possible. what it does is your physical mouse does not move but the cursor itself warps to center of screen this halts the cursor from warping to center of screen I will try to find a better fix that does not require commenting but at this point I have nothing better and this seems to work.

----Line 487-491-----

else

GEN_EVENT(This->offset_array[WINE_MOUSE_Y_POSITION], hook->pt.y - This->prevY, hook->time, (This->dinput->evsequence)++)

changed = TRUE;

}

- if (changed) {

- if (This->need_warp != WARP_NEEDED && This->need_warp != WARP_STARTED) {

- This->need_warp = WARP_NEEDED;

- }

- }

 

else

GEN_EVENT(This->offset_array[WINE_MOUSE_Y_POSITION], hook->pt.y - This->prevY, hook->time, (This->dinput->evsequence)++)

changed = TRUE;

}

+ /* if (changed) {

+ if (This->need_warp != WARP_NEEDED && This->need_warp != WARP_STARTED) {

+ This->need_warp = WARP_NEEDED;

+ }

+ }*/

 

Now remember once you do this you should be able to login to lineage2 and operate the mouse! keep in mind that you must manually set the graphics cursor to non graphic cursor this is done by going to the system/option.ini file

 

So you can tell what I run my game at and have plenty of speed for all you skeptics out there here is my full options.ini

You will want to set your UseColorCursor=false that will disable your graphics cursor.

1st.  I didn't see the date.

2nd. I just installed linux and wanted to play l2, i found this post...and i don't know what ''patches to CVS'' means...i will w8 a awnser from fakoykas.

3rd. I'm not a spammer.

4th. Why is a banable offense bringing up old posts? Prefer that i create a new one?!?!?

[NazGhuL.]

Its a copy paste fools thats why he cannot answer... I read it from the original poster in the ubuntu forums. At least give credits

[POGO]

yea... but what with performance? probably you need better PC to get same FPS on linux with that emulation...

i'll just stay with my crappy and unsafe Win XP where i can play L2 with no problems ;]
