LINUX SUPPORT IS HERE

[tatsu]

unofficial faf port for linux: https://bitbucket.org/fafafaf/modular-client-linux-fix/

you will still need wine1.6+ to play FA

steps (on ubuntu):

install libs:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install python-qt4 python-qt4-gl python-numpy python-matplotlib

installing wine1.6+ on ubuntu 13.10 needs a new repo:

Code: Select all

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wine1.7
winetricks vcrun2010


get the source:

Code: Select all

wget https://bitbucket.org/fafafaf/modular-client-linux-fix/get/default.tar.gz
tar xaf default.tar.gz


uid.dll needs a loader, i wrote it, so u only have to uncompress

Code: Select all

cd fafafaf-modular-client-linux-fix*/src
tar xaf ../uid_loader/uid_loader_bin.tar.gz


you can rename the fafafaf-modular-client-linux-fix* folder if you want.
start faf with

Code: Select all

python <path to src>/src/main.py

since its not official, no support will be given in any other threads than this.
do NOT ask Zep for any help.
ill try to keep up with the main tree but delays can happen.
feel free to create pull requests.

enjoy.

I also did sudo apt-get xdelta3

but lauching faf I get


also does this work with ubuntu mumble (which I have installed)?

EDIT:
I found the readme and completed the "to run:" instructions

but this part:

Code: Select all

to compile:

    apt-get: mingw32 (for uid loader) libfreeimage3

cx_bsdiff - http://cx-bsdiff.sourceforge.net/
freeimagepy - http://freeimagepy.sourceforge.net/

I do not know what to do with.

why not start FAF with wine?

why not start FAF with wine?

I'm interested in this idea as it would allow me to use mumble link.

not only that of course. there's plenty of thing you can do from having a native FAF

I tried instal SC FA, I have non steam version pretty old, and I have a problem when I have to write CD-key, on linux I can assign only XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX, but my code is XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX

does anyone had same problem?

I dont wanna buy steam, becouse I dont know if I will play actively

if some one will have this problem, instal winetricks and in that instal COREFONTS

FA is officialy first game I ever played on Linux

but sadly after instal FAF, I tried login and I got some nice message (on picture)

so what the hell is that? I didn´t have it on windows, and that link even don´t work!

btw.I tried login to same account I have on windows

Yes wired, but known Bug on Linux. You are forced to steam Link because the "Unique ID" will not be generated properly on Linux.

Hey sorry to bump but is there any chance someone can help me getting this to run?

[Frozen_byte]

Sure, if you tell me where you are stuck?
I guess you cannot compile it?

I need some Error messages then ;)

As yo may read in the readme,txt you need to install following programs:

Pre-requisites are :
- Python 2.6/2.7 32 bits
- PyQt4 with QT 4.7.2
- Python Win32Api
- Py2Exe
- Numpy/Scipy
- Python matplotlib
- FreeImagePy
- bsdiff

of course you have to search for some names (so you know what you have to type after apt-get)



Also you can try to install the "normal" MSI file from main site: http://stable.faforever.com/FAForeverLobby-0.10.122.msi
(How to install is written down here, here, here and here)

thank you very much.

I've done it with the windows msi a bunch of times but I would be very pleased to manage it with a native linux app for once.

last time it stopped upon connection. let me give it another go (this is a fresh install of my ubuntu). I'll get back at you.

is higher version of python bad? it non 32-bit bad?
