Ubuntu sadness....

[Bwathke]

Hey, I switched to Ubuntu 9.04 and Warcraft 3 WE does not work so I wont be modding anymore Just thought I would say this for anyone that was looking at what I was working on. Good luck everyone!

talk to vexorian in wc3c, he uses linux and he maps perfectly.

Really? Cool. He must be using some other tool then Wine then.

why not dual booting?

 

[Bwathke]

Heh, If I'm thinking of the right thing I cant because my dad dosent like windows (viruses I think) but I will try to figure out a way I didnt buy TFT to use it for only two months xD

 

[scorpion182]

linux for work
mac for design
windows for play

 

[Bwathke]

Exactly but Windows also breaks easily

 

[syltman]

linux for work
mac for design
windows for play

Actually it's...

Linux for work and design
Windows for play
Mac for nothing.

 

[Kwah]

Actually, it's Ubuntu for everything because it's just that goddamn awesome.

 

[Bwathke]

No way! Ubuntu isn't good for gaming unless Dual-Booting

If you know what you're doing that is!

Edit: I think I know how he makes maps in wc3 now.

He must be using Jass NewGen Pack for it. It got support for running in OpenGL

Edit2: I'll check it out later if it works

Edit3: I'm gonna reinstall ubuntu just to check

 

[Bwathke]

JASS NewGen runs by using viruses -_- I downloaded it foud two viruses deleted it downloaded from another site viruses I think I did it again and same thing...

 

[Kwah]

It's because it injects into the .DLL's, not because it contains malicious content.

 

[Deathcom3s]

Indeed, the Lua scripts inject additional data into the Warcraft dlls, which allow for the improved features found in JNGP. They act as viruses do, but they're not.

 

[syltman]

well I tried running JNGP and got error in ubuntu

Exactly if something like that wont run..... An I dont trust the "safe" viruses.

 

[a7xpwns3]

It's not a virus. It injects data into WC3's DLLs.

Things come up as viruses that sometimes aren't.

You need a windows emulator to run WC3 / WE. You also have to make sure its in OpenGL mode as linux has no DX and WC3 uses DX by default.

Basically, it will not work if you just try to run it. You need to run it via something like wine or another windows emulator.

Thus why I stick with my vista. Honestly people do not understand that vista may not be the ultimate OS, but its the best for what it does for now. Ofcourse later I am upgrading to windows 7 which is the same as vista but even better as far as preformance and stuff when it is released.

 

[a7xpwns3]

Get Windows 7 RED if your gonna get it.

Search it on Microsoft.com.

WINE isn't an emulator.

 

[Dr Super Good]

Well, techinacly it could be classed as one, as it allows the computer to do stuff it can not normally do (think like another computer or system). In this case it allows a linux computer to act like a windows one as far as running WC3 goes, so that WC3 thinks its on a windows machine.

I do know that it works by acting as wrappers which link windows only libraries to linux equvilents.

Windows 7 is kinda already better.

Back to topic: I was using wine when I tried this. I think that Grimoire (I don't remember how it's spelled but something like that) can run world editor in Open GL. Atleast JNGP can.

Alright I'll bump this, it is possible to get we to work via wine, the only problem you will have a flickering screen while using the terrain editor else it works juuuust fine, you will also have to compile it diffrently with Jasshelper

That's probably hardware/driver specific.

Nope it's wine. Everyone who I know of has it when using linux.

 

[Kwah]

I'd test it on my Ubuntu, but I need to get internet working on it first.
