Does anyone have a tutorial on getting Age of Empires working in Linux? I mainly want to know which dlls I need to copy over.

i have gotten it to run with out-of-the-box wine (execpt for some changes in ~/.wine/config concerning the drives). but installing it was quite difficult since i had to guess where the buttons were (it was all black). and when it finally ran. it ran slow and all the text was black (putting .ttf in /path/to/windows_dir/Windows/Fonts didn't help). i don't know whether this is an issue with the dlls or not... im sorry that i can't give any good help. but maybe it can give somebody a point to start from in finding out how to get it all to run  |

Thanks for the reply. I haven't had the time to try to install it, but was hoping someone with experience could let me know any problems that I might have. So thanks for the warning. It's good to know people read the posts  . At least I now have a starting point. 
Btw, can you post the changes you made in your ~/.wine/config file (or post the entire file)? Also, which build of wine were you using?

Sure, here's my ~/wine/config...
| Code: | WINE REGISTRY Version 2
;; All keys relative to \\Machine\\Software\\Wine\\Wine\\Config
;; If you think it is necessary to show others your complete config for a
;; bug report, filter out empty lines and comments with
;; grep -v "^;" ~/.wine/config | grep '.'
;;
;; MS-DOS drives configuration
;;
;; Each section has the following format:
;; [Drive X]
;; "Path"="xxx" (Unix path for drive root)
;; "Type"="xxx" (supported types are 'floppy', 'hd', 'cdrom' and 'network')
;; "Label"="xxx" (drive label, at most 11 characters)
;; "Serial"="xxx" (serial number, 8 characters hexadecimal number)
;; "Filesystem"="xxx" (supported types are 'msdos'/'dos'/'fat', 'win95'/'vfat', 'unix')
;; This is the FS Wine is supposed to emulate on a certain
;; directory structure.
;; Recommended:
;; - "win95" for ext2fs, VFAT and FAT32
;; - "msdos" for FAT16 (ugly, upgrading to VFAT driver strongly recommended)
;; DON'T use "unix" unless you intend to port programs using Winelib !
;; "Device"="/dev/xx" (only if you want to allow raw device access)
;;
;; NOTICE: Uncomment and modify the drives you want to use.

This is not very different from the wine config file that is generated when you first run wine. And to answer what wine build im using, im using wine-20031016 (emerged via portage). i hope this helps you out a little. and if you're looking for more help on wine configs. search the forums for them. you may run over some that can help you out more than mine can. but in any case. good luck |

has anyone figured out how to correct the problem with the text being all black? I have age of empires running just fine, but gameplay is next to impossible with black text on a black background 
I have been playing around with trying the microsoft fonts with wine, but nothing so far. |
