WIP Linux/Mac Testing using WINE

[Dakota Ryan Lambert]

Hello All,
I apologize if there is someone already doing this, but I'm willing to test and write guides for running POTC Build Mods under OS X and Linux using Wine. I love this game and everything you've done to it but I am trying to move away from Windows.

I'm an 18 year old Computer Science Major, so when I get to that master stage I might be able to help with the coding, but until then I plan to get this game working on every major OS.

That is a very laudable endeavor and I hope you succeed.

Would be cool if you can figure this out!

I had it working without a build mod in 2010ish, now I'm just trying to get a build mod working.

Okay my first snag came up. I need to Install POTC and the build Mods on Windows before I transfer them over to OS X. (WINE can't handle/run .bat files).

Other than that (won't be able to test build mods yet), the game installs and runs great on my 2013 Macbook Air with intel 5000 graphics.

Beta 3 doesn't use BAT files for the installation anymore: http://www.piratesahoy.net/wiki/tales-of-a-chevalier-walkthrough/
Would that work?

I don't think that is the correct link






I think it should be this one -->>> http://www.piratesahoy.net/threads/build-14-beta-3-progress.20686/

Okay. I tried Beta 14.1 Full, then was going to try 14.5 Lite. So I don't have to do that? And both links aren't working for me. Nevermind.

Uhm... yeah, what Talisman said. How did that happen?
