Getting Started on Linux Lutris local YAML

This guide assumes that the user has correctly installed Lutris, vulkan drivers (both 64 and 32-bit drivers) and wine-staging for their specific distribution.

Please read the Notes section below.

1. Download the latest Windows client
2. Save the takp.yaml from tragedie's github page
   1. Click on the file name, takp.yaml

      

   2. Then, click on the down arrow to Download raw file

      

   3. This will open a dialogue, choose Save File and click OK; Note: I usually save to my Downloads folder; YMMV

      

3. Now, open Lutris
   1. Click on the + button; mine is in the upper left section of the screen; Note: If this is the first time you are running Lutris, let it complete its installation routine, which will be visible in the bottom-left of the application

      

   2. Choose Install from a local install script

      

   3. Navigate to where you saved the file

      

   4. Select it and then press the OK button

      

   5. Then, click the Install button, which will begin the install process

      

   6. Click on Install, this shows the game that will be installed

      

   7. Select the directory in which you want to install TAKP and click on Continue; Note: I change the install directory to takp since I play many different versions of EverQuest

      

   8. Let it download the version of WINE it needs

      

   9. Open the Select the game's setup file by clicking on the three dots

      

   10. Select the TAKP PC 2.1c client you downloaded earlier and click the OK button

       

   11. Then click the Install Button and let it do its magic

       

   12. When the VCRUN2010 dialogue pops up, click on the I have read and accept the license terms and then the Install button; do not click anything else

       

   13. Let it continue to work in the background and when it's done, you will see the following:

       

   14. Click Close

Notes

• This is not an error, a Return code 0 represents success

  Exit with return code 0

  • A return code greater than 0 represents a problem, with a code of 256 being common

    Exit with return code 256

  • Another fairly common one is return code of 512

    Exit with return code 512

    If you encounter anything other than 0, search the Internet for that specific return code in Lutris

• Edit your eqclient.ini at

  /home/<username>/Games/takp/drive_c/Program Files/EverQuest/eqclient.ini

  This path is dependent on what you chose during install. It should be the default path.

  • You want to edit your file to set your resolution; set your Width and Height to your specific monitor. Here are my settings:

[VideoMode]
BitsPerPixel=32
Width=1600
Height=900
RefreshRate=60

• • The PPC Mac installation instructions have listed some other useful settings
