Install Wine (I use version 1.1.13)
System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager and type “wine” in the search and install it.

If you want the latest Beta Build follow the instructions here: http://www.winehq.org/download/deb

Install Labyrinth of the Minotaur
To maintain compatibility with Uthgard server I decided to download the European version of Labyrinth of the Minotaur.

Get the installer here from the downloads section : http://daoc.goa.com/en/

Right click the “SetupDAoC_LOTM.exe” and choose “Open with Wine Windows Program Loader” and accept the defaults and let it go and download Labyrinth. (Be prepared for a long download depending on your connection speed.)

Get the Dawn of Light Loader
Get it here: http://www.dolserver.net/?page=filereleases

Download the “DOL Loader” and place it into your Labyrinth of the Minotaur directory.

Your home directory/.wine/drive_c/Dark Age of Camelot – Labyrinth of the Minotaur

(If you cant find it use CTRL-H in your home directory to show your hidden directories)

Configure wine
Applications->Wine->Configure Wine->Graphics Tab

Vertex Shader Support: Hardware
Allow Pixel Shader: Unchecked (OFF)

Configure Dark Age of Camelot Labyrinth of the Minotaur shortcut
Right click->Properties

Change the Command to the following:

Code: Select all
env WINEPREFIX="/home/your user name here/.wine" wine  explorer.exe /desktop=LOTM1,1280x1024 /home/your user name here/.wine/drive_c/Dark\ Age\ of\ Camelot\ -\ Labyrinth\ of\ the\ Minotaur/dolloader.exe "C:\Dark Age of Camelot - Labyrinth of the Minotaur\game.dll" 89.238.64.166 10300 20 name pass


Make sure you enter your name into the paths in the above code and change the /desktop command to your desired resolution.

Click close to save it. Double click to run.

Cheers!

Thanks Warfingers great walk through worked for me first time!

The only problem I have is with my Graphics card at the moment I dont think its running so im using software emulation as you can imagine this makes DAOC unplayable its a shame I can load in and see my char on salisbury plains but it must be playing at 1 fps or something.

Also the window I have opened always seems to be cut off by the bottom of the monitor so I have to quit the game from System/administration/system monitor because the quit buttons on the char screen are not visable.

I have an ATI Radeon HD 3650 512MB card which I am running though my Sony Bravia 42inc TV so resolutions can cause me a few headaches. I am going to have a look and see if I can get this card running with the new ATI drivers but I have had problems so far. If anyone else has got this card running propertly under Linux please let me know the steps you took :)

Kind regards
Will

Thanks for all the help you guys make this a great forum for information.

OK well my Video card is now working with some effort by using terminal and some xrandr commands. Only problem I am having now is after a few intereactions with the windows in game the text all turns to rubbish and I cant understand anything. I have many years playing DOAC so it not so much of a problem I guess but It wont help me getting groups LOL so I must sort this out next. I think I did see something somewere about text problems I will do a search now.

Basically it turns out that because I am using an older ATI card which is not covered in the new driver set this was causing my problems.

I followed the tutorial below word for word uninstalling the new ATI drivers and reinstalling the older one with xserver as detailed. It was a lot of work especially locking each of the 50 components that I rolled back but once I did the game runs perfectly the text problems have gone. And it runs very fast.

Hope this helps someone, if I have any other problems I will add to this thread.

Please be aware that the above link no longer works it worked with 9.04 but with 9.10 it seems to cause problems the author of the walk through said he will work to update this in the near future!

I'm trying to get onto Uthgard again after a while, from Linux this time. I know DAoC works for some of you OOTB, but mine doesn't for now (that's why I'm posting here ;) ).
Once I start DAoC, the title screen appears and the loading bar on the bottom fills up to about 1cm, normal loading progress. Then in the upper left DAoC tells me to press escape to quit the game, nothing else. I only know this from problems with the server, ie. wrong user/pass or no connection at all - which at least also give suitable error info. Wine doesn't tell me anything useful on the console and DAoC doesn't log anywhere, does it?
Any hints? Might I get some useful error messages somewhere?

Wine 1.1.31 / Debian Sid
DAoC 1.95 (LotM)
Pixel Shaders of course turned off, though that shouldn't matter up to now...

Hopefully,

Tanuva

Looks like this:
marcel@d-wwow:~$ cat games/daoc/dolloader/connect.sh
wine DOLLoader.exe game.dll 89.238.64.166 1 $user $pass

To start, I run connect.sh from within the dolloader folder.

OK I dont know if this will work for you but right click on your desktop and click create launcher then in the box called Command paste the following but change the paths to match which how you have installed the launcher and DAOC on your system and obviouly put your user and pass in!

env WINEPREFIX="/home/User/.wine" wine /home/User/.wine/drive_c/Dark\ Age\ of\ Camelot\ -\ Labyrinth\ of\ the\ Minotaur/dolloader.exe "C:\Dark Age of Camelot - Labyrinth of the Minotaur\game.dll" 89.238.64.166 10300 20 User pass

See if this helps

Oh. Dammit. The solution's quite easy: I forgot the server port in the dolloader.exe parameters. Adding 10300 after the ip automagically fixes it, Running fine. :)

I am having this same problem but I cant figure out how to fix it...

Here is my command:

Code: Select all
env WINEPREFIX="/home/frank/.wine" wine /home/frank/.wine/drive_c/Dark\ Age\ of\ Camelot\ -\ Labyrinth\ of\ the\ Minotaur/dolloader.exe "C:\Dark Age of Camelot - Labyrinth of the Minotaur\game.dll" 89.238.64.166 10300 20 xxxx xxxx


My progress bar gets to about 1cm til finished and then it tells me "Hit ESC to exit game..."

Any ideas? So far I think I have tried everything.

Try with this IP:
88.198.56.21
(http://www.uthgard-server.net/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=13831)

Never tried DAoC running on Linux with the Desktop-Icon.
I always directly used a .bat file in the wine/drive_c/<DAOC> Folder.
Maybe try this if the solution with desktop icon doesnt work.

Thanks this worked...

...but for some reason I wake up this morning and now I am even farther back than I was!

I am now getting "Renderer Creation Failed". Here is my command:

Code: Select all
wine /home/frank/.wine/drive_c/Dark\ Age\ of\ Camelot\ -\ Labyrinth\ of\ the\ Minotaur/dolloader.exe "C:\Dark Age of Camelot - Labyrinth of the Minotaur\game.dll" 88.198.56.21 10300 20 xxxxxx xxxxxxxx


I have tried every combination of Vertex and Pixel shader disabling in my winecfg...and now I am stumped. I can run the game fine, but not from dolloader.exe. When I just run the original patcher it runs fine and it patches and loads the EA video and the launcher, but I just cant get the game to load through dolloader.exe.

Any ideas?


**EDIT**

Problem solved!

I am using Twinview for dual monitor support and I dont think DAoC liked the resolution it runs in (3200x1200) so I added this to my command and every works fine.

Code: Select all
env WINEPREFIX="/home/your user name here/.wine" wine  explorer.exe /desktop=LOTM1,1280x1024
