Okay so ive been trying and reading forums for two days now. I can’t seem to get either of these running. Im trying to get them going with Wine. I have no idea how to script anything myself if that needs to be done. Some people did do that with the .wtf file for wow. I don’t know. Im a noob with Suse so maybe im doing everything wrong. Anyways, help is welcome. I just don’t wanna have to go back to windows for just WoW and Ventrilo.
Ps. Im not sure if i posted this in the right forums. If its not please let me know and i will move it.
Don’t know either of the games, but a bit about wine (Wine Is No Emulator).
Which wine version do you have installed?
(in a terminal type: rpm -qa | grep wine)
Can you give some info about your computer (see my signature)?
If you have an ATI or NVidia card, did you install the necessary drivers to get 3D acceleration? You need that for both.
Did you manage to install the necessary files for both games using wine?
Well World Of Warcraft is a online MMORPG. Ventrilo is a Voice talk programs so i can talk with people im playing with. Kinda like skype.
My wine version is
dimz@linux-qtth:~> rpm -qa | grep win
wine-debugsource-1.1.9-1.10
As for my hardware im running a Gateway FX laptop with 4gDDR3 ram, Dualcore processor at 2.4GHZ, and a Nvidia 9800m GTS (With the latest drivers)
I cant even get wine to install from the World of Warcraft Disc when I pop it in the drive. This is what happens.
-Insert Game DvD
-open up the DvD location
-right click the WoW .exe file
-go to open with then i type in wine to try and install the game
-then it reads
No installer data could be found. If this problem persists, please contact Blizzard Technical Support.
Try this:
Open a terminal window and type:
cd /media
Now type:
ls
You will see a folder where the WoW DVD is mounted.
cd “to that folder”
Now type:
wine WoW.exe (if that’s what you need to start the installer. I would expect a Setup.exe)
Maybe you’ll get some more clearer output this way. Stops there for me, since I don’t have the games so cannot reproduce
FORGOT: you did install the drivers, did you enable it as well? Type ‘glxinfo | grep direct’ in the terminal and post output.
to get Ventrilo to work under wine do this worked great when i used ventrilo on linux hopefully you have windows or can get the files from somebody that does
1.> Download and install “Wine”
2.> Install Vent in Wine
3.> Copy msgsm32.acm from the C:\Windows\System32 folder or media:/sdb1/WINDOWS/system32.
…Paste in /home/myself/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32…Replace “myself” with your login
4.> Open System.ini in /home/myself/.wine/drive_c/windows/ and add the following line MSACM.msgsm610=msgsm32.acm.
Hope this helps
You are getting this error because your wine isn’t configured to handle the CD drive - or you have no permission to your drive.
Take a look to Wine - WoWWiki - Your guide to the World of Warcraft.
This guide is working for all Linux distributions.
Good luck.
