Ubuntu Linux "Breezy Badger" Running zMUD 7.21!
|
Hello all!
Just wanted to post an update...
I've been trying to get zMUD to work with Linux for years (I purchased zMUD back in 2000). Well, combine the hard work of the Ubuntu staff and the WineHQ staff, and you've finally got a working combination with the latest update.
WineHQ v0.9.5 now runs zMUD 7.21 (yes, it's a little ugly but it works) in Ubuntu "Breezy Badger" Linux without any special setting up. |

Got Zmud 7.21 to run under Ubuntu Linux (breezy), I did have to use the Automatix install of wine though. So far runs slick. Even got the TT font workin.

Could someone help me get zmud going on here? I've got Ubuntu 5.10 installed, and i cannot get zmud to run. The error i'm getting is:
err:seh:setup_exception nested exception on signal stack in thread 0022 eip 7bed 9267 esp b7f45cd0 stack 0x7f330000-0x7fb30000
any ideas? |

I am at lost! I read the WHOLE thread about running zmud in linux but did NOT find out how to make it work. I have just switched from windows to linux, Ubuntu too.. so bear with me here :)
Can you guys elaborate how you made it work so I can follow in your footsteps? |

Posted: Mon Mar 27, 2006 7:29 am zMud under wine works - but the mapper
|
Actually I did install zmud with wine and so far it works OK... surprinsigly!
I just can't run the mapper, it gives an access violation at module zmud.exe.... any ideas? I'd apreciate it :)
Tried to run it a second time, now I am getting a message saying "A component named NewMapF already exists"
Thoughts? |

I'm sorry I missed this thread-- I usually monitor the large one from time to time, but I seem to have completely missed this one for a month. Here is how to get a fresh wine working with zMud 7.21. You need to obtain the following files which the links worked as of this writing.
Create your base setup.
Open a terminal window and go to the directory where you placed the above files. Assuming you have no ~/.wine, winecfg will create it. Run:
Change Global settings to "Windows 98", and exit.
Fake an IE6 install.
Add the following to ~/.wine/system.reg keeping the blank line at the end:
| Code: |
[Software\\Microsoft\\Internet Explorer]
"Version"="6.0.2900.2180"
[System\\CurrentControlSet\\Services\\msiserver]
|
Install DCOM98.
Either enter "C:\windows\system", or browse to that folder and click OK.
Install MDAC.
| Code: |
| WINEDEBUG="fixme-all" wine mdac_typ |
Install Jet4.0.
| Code: |
| WINEDEBUG="fixme-all" wine Jet40SP8_9xNT.exe |
Ignore the error about dao2535.tlb.
Complete Setup.
Either install zMud or copy an existing directory to somewhere under ~/.wine/drive_c. Then run:
Change Global settings back to Windows 2000, and Apply. Add Application, and navigate to your zMud directory, choose 'zmud.exe', and select Windows NT 4.0. Apply and Exit.
You should now be able to run zMud and the mapper. Create a desktop icon if desired, and add any fonts you normally use. Occasionally when I run zMud, it complains about a system debugger in use, I don't know what causes that. If that happens, I just retry a few times and it works.
Tested using wine-0.9.35 on Ubuntu 6.06 LTS. |

I've edited the instructions, adding links to obtain the needed files.
I've also fixed the fake IE6 install section, and simplified the DCOM98 instructions. |

I would adjust the font for command input. Probably the font zmud wants to use isn't installed in your wine setup, and wine just mapped one it had which was slightly larger. Also, perhaps turn off word wrap for the command line.
The instructions above mostly pertain to getting the mapper working-- zmud 7.21 should work fine w/out any special instructions in a virgin wine so long as you aren't using the mapper. Which, IMO, isn't as good as it sounds. When I first started messing with zmud in wine seriously, 7.04 was the version at the time, and you couldn't get zmud working w/out all the mapper components. That's actually somewhat beneficial in the sense that once you got zmud running, your mapper also worked. Now, it's can be deceptive-- you think you have it working until you try to use the mapper.
Anyway, I'm glad you are up and running finally. |

You have to turn off Spelling
View -> Preferences -> General -> Spelling
Spellchecking has to be off ... |

Thanks, I actually installed Codeweavers and it works just fine. Just freezes on me sometimes which is annoying but it works.

I was just browsing wine's appDB, and discovered zMUD already in there for this reason. You can turn off spellchecking, or you can copy a native riched20.dll from windows and set riched20 to native using
That should make the input behave better until the richedit control improves for zMUD. Note: it's probably best to do this only for zMUD instead of for the "Default Settings". The application you have selected (or Default Settings) on the Application tab is linked with the Libraries and Graphics tab, so you can have custom libraries and graphics for any application. |

I'm getting an error her:
"For security purposes, this program will not rune while system debuggers are active. Please remove or disable the system debugger before trying to run this program again."
How do I fix that? (also, anyone have experience with zchat with ubuntu zmud? I'm gonna try it once zmud works) |

I get this from time to time. Usually, I just start a few times until it works.
But there are times it won't ever work. It happens when you are running other wine processes. Basically, make sure zMud is the first one you load.
You can: killall wine
and: wineserver -k
To work around this, I made my own prefix for zmud. (so it doesn't use ~/.wine and instead uses its own world)
That effectively shields it from other wine processes I'm running.
Here's my script for running zMud. You'll have to set up ~/.zmud before this will work, of course.
#!/bin/sh
WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.zmud" wine "c:\\zmud\\zmud" &>/dev/null & |
