No text in civ menu. Crashes when starting game. about wololokingdoms HOT 13 OPEN

Just to confirm, since you posted this on Tails' github page, which has an older version of the installer: You did download WololoKingdoms 2.5 from my github page to install this?

from wololokingdoms.

I have 2.5 downloaded from here: https://github.com/Jineapple/WololoKingdoms/releases

from wololokingdoms.

Okay thanks. Did you have any troubles getting the installer itself to work with Wine? I just tried myself, but it didn't find the windows platform for qt. I don't use Linux/Wine much myself, so I only have limited experience with that.

from wololokingdoms.

Installer never had any problems running for me. Which distro are you running?

from wololokingdoms.

Ubuntu 16 LTS - I think it's probably Wine though that's not properly configured. I know a similar error happens on Vista and lower. Wine is set to Windows 7, but maybe I'm missing something else.

I use wine staging, it fixed some issues running 1.4/1.5 patches. I tried the following from a clean 17.04 ubuntu install:

Get wine staging, currently version 2.18
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
wget -nc https://repos.wine-staging.com/wine/Release.key
sudo apt-key add Release.key
sudo apt-add-repository 'https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/'
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-staging

Creates wine prefix, allow installer for mono and gecko to run, the gecko install seems to run twice.
Close wine configuration when completed
winecfg

Install steam, and install Aoe2HD
cd ~/.wine/drive_c
wget https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/client/installer/SteamSetup.exe
wine SteamSetup.exe

Install CD version (change file names to your iso files)
First change directory to where iso files are.
mkdir iso
sudo mount -o loop AOE2.iso iso
cd iso
wine aoesetup.exe
cd ..
sudo umount iso
sudo mount -o loop AGE2_X1.iso iso
cd iso
wine aocsetup.exe
cd ..
sudo umount iso

Download and run wololo kingdoms
cd ~/.wine/drive_c
wget https://github.com/Jineapple/WololoKingdoms/releases/download/2.5/WololoKingdoms.zip
unzip WololoKingdoms.zip
cd WololoKingdoms
wine WololoKingdoms.exe

Should be enough to get it running

Thanks! Unfortunately I have to wait a few days until I get Internet at my new apartment to install new packages, but I'll get back to you after that :)

Okay, I've had time to look at this now and found the issue - To save space and to share stuff like maps etc. between the different variations of the mod, the installer uses symlinks - those don't work as intended with wine. I will look into a fix for this.

from wololokingdoms.

Ok, I can test when ready

from wololokingdoms.

I made a shell script that should create the missing symlinks: https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ark-SUz3-qr5qUcUahqd95ULA_sa

Put this into your aoc folder (so next to the Voobly Mods directory) and run it.

Note that I've still had a crash when spamming h-c for villagers during the loading screen, but that also happened playing regular aoc. Just a heads up in case it's not just an issue with my installation.

Also, the offline installation WK.exe crashes for me at startup at the moment.

from wololokingdoms.

Offline install requires window mode support to be unticked when installing.

I'm now getting some issue with gstreamer:
fixme:gstreamer:unknown_type Could not find a filter for caps: application/x-id3
fixme:gstreamer:watch_bus decodebin0: Your GStreamer installation is missing a plug-in.

If your version worked, there must be some lib I'm missing.

from wololokingdoms.

Now working on ubuntu, one of the 32-bit gstreamer libs fixed it.

from wololokingdoms.

Ok, good to hear and ty for testing :)
