I open the launcher, and click the "gear" icon (Paragon Chat options), expanding the window. I describe it as being similar to throwing spaghetti at a brick wall until it eventually finally breaks the wall! ^.^ įirst, I have to set the Paragon Chat launcher up for "multi-tooning" (see: ). Copy Tequila.exe into this directory, and run:īecause of the random, inconsistent unstable nature of Paragon Chat on my machine, I've had to resort to a trick in order to finally land a decent connection. If City of Heroes already exists on your machine, simply COPY the entire "City of Heroes" directory, and paste it in /home/USER/.wineCOHDemo/drive_c/Program Files (x86) - or, again, /home/USER/.wineCOHDemo/drive_c/Program Files if you're on a 32 bit machine! In your terminal window, change directories to the CoH directory. Now you'll be relocating your CoH installation, or creating a new one. Windows XP works fine for my purposes (running Paragon Chat and City of Heroes!), but you're free to experiment at any time if you feel it's not working properly. Change this to "Windows XP", then click "Apply", then "OK". At the bottom is the entry for "Windows Version". You've launched the winecfg program, and you should immediately be presented with the "Applications" tab, which will be the only thing you need to alter.
(From this point on, every time you run a wine or windows command, you'll prepend it with "env WINEPREFIX="/home/USER/.wineCOHDemo"", for the same reasons as explained above.) wineCOHDemo wineprefix, you can delete that specific directory and start all over again!Īnd here's why you'll want a separate wineprefix for Paragon Chat: your next step is to run this in your terminal:Ĭode: env WINEPREFIX="/home/USER/.wineCOHDemo" winecfg wine installation, and you can create other prefixes for other programs, or even the *same* program, if you're experimenting or troubleshooting. wineCOHDemo wineprefix will not affect your default. If you're unfamiliar with wineprefixes, they are basically new, separate installations for Windows programs. wineWhatEver! Just make sure to use *that* to replace my placeholder name as you read along! You can give it whatever name you want that makes sense to you. wine directory, in which City of Heroes and Paragon Chat will live. What you're doing here is creating a new. (If you're still using a 32-bit system, use "win32" instead.) Open up an XTerm window, or Konsole, or whatever terminal emulater with which you are familiar and/or comfortable, and enter:Ĭode: WINEPREFIX="/home/USER/.wineCOHDemo" WINEARCH=win64 wine wineboot Once you're finished with the downloads, you'll want to create a new wineprefix.
I don't have much experience with Tequila, beyond updating my own files.
#PARAGON GAME LINUX INSTALL#
(Instructions: ) If you *don't* have CoH installed, I *believe* that Tequila will install the entire game for you.
#PARAGON GAME LINUX UPDATE#
If you still have the latest version of City of Heroes that existed when the servers shut down (Issue 23), you're in good shape, you'll just need to update them with Tequila ( ). The first thing you'll need to do is download the essentials.
#PARAGON GAME LINUX HOW TO#
This would be the *only* point in this process where you will need root access! I'm assuming you know how to update your system.
#PARAGON GAME LINUX DRIVERS#
You'll want the latest version of wine, and the most up to date video drivers available to you. I don't think there will be any mysteries or surprises when I use my own directories as examples. My Linux distro is OpenSuSE Leap 42.3, but as far as I know the directory structure for Linux is the same for all distributions. If anyone reading this is better at Linux than I, please step up and put me in my place (I know you exist!)) I figured I'd take a stab at doing something useful, so I sat down and hashed together a walkthrough for installing and running Paragon Chat on Linux, using wine! (Disclaimer: I'm not an expert.
