I have 2 working terabytes on my server so a extra 1.5GB does not bother me much, however, if I ever start a 3rd game I will give the /ALTROOT thing a try.
The error I get is "No libGL on this box - disabling OpenGL support" when going though VNC server even with libgl1 installed.Yup, got the missing libGL.so when running from VNC.
libgl1-mesa-swx11 did not install cleanly for me. I will just stick with the hardware render.
My computer is always hooked up to my t.v. anyways because I'm using mythtv so for the rare time I need to look at the pitboss server it's not much of a hassle.
I just startet a two player game with pitboss under wine.
The /ALTROOT method does is job quite well.
Even on Linux!
I created a new directory, to which I copied everything from "~/My Games/Beyond the Sword" then edited the port in the CivilizationIV.ini at my new directory "/home/myuser/civ4pitbossgames/2er"
My bash terminal to start the Pitboss Server looked like:
And the server now runs at its new, other port.Code:myuser@mybox:~/Desktop/Sid Meier's Civilization 4/Beyond the Sword$ wine Civ4BeyondSword_Pitboss.exe /ALTROOT="Z:\home\myuser\civ4pitbossgames\2er"
So typing "wine Civ4BeyondSword_Pitboss.exe /ALTROOT="Z:\what\you\want"" should do the job. Z: is an imaginary drive letter generated by wine for its running application which settles at the root of the linux directory tree. Perhaps you have to adjust it to your installation of wine.
Redarg
P.S.: Where can I demand a Tux or other Linux smiley?
I have tried to start a pitboss server on my ubuntu machine. I am a n00b at linux though so maybe I'm doing something wrong. I have installed wine and copied my Civ4 directory to the harddrive. I removed Art and Sound just like you. I copied "my documents\my games\beyond the sword\ to home\user\pitboss\1
I then tried wine Beyond the word_pitboss.exe /ALTROOT="Z:\home\user\pitboss\1"
but there seems to be some errors.. I get a popup saying:
XML Error:
Error locating tag node in SetGlobalStringArray function. Current XML file is: xml/GlobalTypes.xml
I get this on step 6: init XML (uncached)
SOLVED: I had to override msdxml3.dll in wine
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="msxml3=n,b" wine Civ4BeyondSword_Pitboss.exe
Caught unhandled exception creating XML parser object.
Current XML file is:
I'm running wine 0.9.44.[...]
btw. I'm already running Wine 1.0
But it started now, even tho I couldn't seem to connect.
Which ports do I need to open on my firewall (external) ?
And do I have to edit any more files on my linux machine to make it listen to one of those ports?
; NetComm Port
Port = 2056
wine Civ4BeyondSword_Pitboss.exe /ALTROOT="Z:\home\myuser\civ4pitbossgames\2er"
Which file is pitboss located in the BTS file directory?
LD_PRELOAD=<location>/libGL.so.1 wine Civ4BeyondSword_PitBoss.exe mod=... /altroot=...
