Adventure Game Studio

I thought I'd see if I could get the AGS Editor running under Wine 1.5.29 in Linux and I was succesful.  Runs absolutely great.

Here is a screenshot.

All you need to do to get it running is via WineTricks or PlayOnLinux install the following components.

• VCRUN2005
• VCRUN2008
• GDIPLUS
• DOTNET20

And viola it runs great.  I've test compiling, editing rooms, changing views, sprites, and coding and it all runs great.

I've also made a WineHQ app database request and I am just waiting for it be approved.

Good to know.  It sounds like it may be easier than using VirtualBox (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=39118.msg514839#msg514839) as I have been doing.  I last tried Wine 5 years ago attempting to run Visio and AGS.  Neither worked very well and so I went the VirtualBox way. 

Please consider creating a tutorial that covers both installation and usage.  I think a lot of people would benefit and be grateful. 

Did you run the game in the Virtualbox environment as well or did you run that in Wine to test?

Xenogia,

Thanks for taking the time to get the beta working in Wine.

I ran the game in virtual box but had to set it to run windowed rather than full screen. [edit]  I wasn't able to get full screen to work .. I guess it makes sense that a virtual machine wouldn't be able to reach out and take over the real video adapter. 

Are you having the same restriction in Wine?

You can run the game within the editor no problems, which is handy because what I was doing before was compile the game and the run the AGS linux runtime.

Hi,

I have updated Wine with the last 1.5.29 version, installed VCRUN2005 (sp2), VCRUN2008 (sp2), GDIPLUS and DOTNET20 on my wineprefix, but I still encounter some serious problems when launching the editor:

Yet, I can use most features of the editor but it repetitively triggers "serious errors" and it ends by forcing to quit after a while.
Also, when I use a textbox in a game and type in some text, letters don't correspond to keys, though it matches perfectly well in the script editor. I have a European (AZERTY) keyboard and a French ubuntu environment. I think it might come from this, but has any of you encountered the same issue?

Any idea on how I could solve the problem? Thx in advance.

Note: my computer is 64bits but I obviously run Wine in 32bits.

Does this textbox problem occurs if you run your game under Windows or under Linux with Linux port (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=46152.0)?

Nope, everything's fine both under Windows and under Linux with Linux port.
