Ultima and Razor on Linux (Wine)

[Malckhazar]

Hi all!

Well, it seems I should post my experience in running Razor and Ultima client on linux.

Currently I'm using Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS and wine-1.4 from ubuntu repo.

1) Firstly, install some important libraries:

x86:

Code: Select all

~# winetricks mono26 vcrun6 dotnet20

x86_64:

Code: Select all

~# env WINEARCH='win32' winetricks vcrun6 dotnet20

For x86_64 installation: If there is an error saying something about empty string, then the wine must be re-initialized first:

Code: Select all

~# mv .wine .wine_backup
~# WINEARCH='wine32' winecfg

Then repeat the step.

2) Download the razor setup from main site and run:
x86:

Code: Select all

~# wine Razor_Latest.exe

x86_64:

Code: Select all

~# env WINEARCH='win32' wine Razor_Latest.exe

Don't mind the requirement of .NET 4 - it seems the Wine doesn't need it. The Razor must be installed into default path!

3) Before running the Razor, some play. There is a 'RAZOR HOWTO' folder in my UO-client installation, where some .reg-files are located with customization manual. Note, that drive C: starts from .wine/drive_c folder.
Make the .reg-file and add it:

x86:

Code: Select all

~# wine regedit <your .reg-file>

x86_64:

Code: Select all

~# env WINEARCH='win32' wine regedit <your .reg-file>

4) For x86_64: Check the Razor desktop shortcuts and add the "env WINEARCH='win32'" prefix to their command.

5) Try to start Razor.

PS: I really don't understand why Razor didn't want Mono on my Ubuntu x86_64.
PPS: If I'll beat my laziness, I'll try all this on other distros.

It is not totally clear to me. Which files should be modified? In the folder (RAZORHOWTO > <64) I have 3 files (c_ ProgramFiles.reg, Custom.reg, D_games.reg).

I am struggling with this damn razor on linux..

Not sure the OP is still around, if you figure out how to run Razor and Easy UO through wine, Alesorta, please let me know

Hiya Alesorta,

I'm not entirely sure, but here are couple of additional installation instructions for Razor under wine on linux:

The first one is dated to november 2013 and the second one to october 2013, so they're relatively new and you might find helpful.

*edit* Aryck, once I get enough time, I'll be installing debian to my secondary laptop and see if EasyUO installs. I do believe it's possible, but the last time I used it under linux, it had few problems...The one which made me re-write many scripts was that the OnHotKey didn't work. I will publish my findings here, but it might take up to a month as real life's been very busy lately.
