Tue, 28 Jun 2011 15:13:38 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 en hourly 1 Running TFW in Linux http://406notacceptable.com/operating-systems/linux/running-tfw-in-linux/ http://406notacceptable.com/operating-systems/linux/running-tfw-in-linux/#comments Mon, 24 Mar 2008 18:23:38 +0000 Jim http://www.406notacceptable.com/linux/running-tfw-in-linux/ Getting Diablo 2 mods working in Linux can be a pain (especially when you try running them from an Asus eee pc,) although Diablo runs perfectly in Wine, mods can be somewhat more tricky. I do know that any mod that uses Nefarius’s NefEx system will run perfectly, as I created and tested the Ragnarok mod using this system (on my eee too!) However, some mods can be more tricky to run and TFW: The Awakening is a special case as it utilises a vbs script to run under Windows. This is the only mod I know of that uses such a system.

One user on the Keep, AGUtilities, has created a nice bash script, which simulates the effects of the vbs script under Linux. All the calls to Wine are inserted in the script so all you have to do is put the script into your TFW folder and run it. Make sure you have Wine installed before running the script, otherwise you’ll just get a bunch of error messages.

I’ve checked the script and it does nothing malicious,  it’s pretty easy to understand what it is doing.

You can get the script from here.

I’ve provided a download mirror here.
