Running DR on WINE (using PlayonLinux)

[freyk]

I'm working on a installation/configuration script to run DR on Mac OS, using Wine (and frontend PlayonMac/Playonlinux)

Because there is no DR build for Mac os, at the moment (windows and linux users are in luck).

I also did this succesfully for TDM. (tdm forumpost, post at Playonlinux).

 

I hope some (Linux/Mac os) users who would like to help me, configure a wine-environment to run DR on it.

The part of the script that create the wine-environment works fine and DR runs (after setting the project paths).

DR crashes at some points (like drawing a block, load textures, etc) but the console works!

 

For the experienced users:

This pol/pom script creates a wine 1.7.16 wine environment, install's vc++2013 and set the renderer to opengl.

After this, pol/pom download and runs manualy the DR installer and creates a shortcut.

 

To run the installation script and test DR, follow the steps:

• install playonmac/playonlinux
• copy the script from the spoiler in a text file and save it. Or download the attachment
• start playonlinux / playonmac
• select tools > run a local script > select the script and accept all warnings.

  (in one of the windows, you will find a debug-button in the left down corner)

• The installer ask you how you would like to install dr, select online
• POL creates the wine environment and create a shortcut for DR.
• copy your darkmod folder to the created /drive_c/games/
• Start DR using the shortcut or trough the wine taskmanager

(you can also install TDM from POL/POM first. Select install > games > check no-cd path/drm > the dark mod. and change the prefix in the script to "TheDarkMod")

 

post edit -

added new version of the polscript and debug info.

Great work in making TDM/ DR accessible to even more users.

[the_deep]

I'm going to give that script a whirl pretty soon, when I install Kubuntu.

[freyk]

added a new version of the polscript.

(for more info see the startpost)

Can't get this script to work on 16.04. Meaning it goes through the warnings, but then nothing happens.
