Description:
LOTRO Launcher is a Linux based launcher for the MMORPGs Lord
of the Rings Online and Dungeons & Dragons Online, developed in
Mono and to be used in conjunction with wine until such time that
the wine project can run the games original launcher.
For over 50 years people across the globe have read the tales
about Frodo's and Sam's epic journey to Mount Doom, read about
epic battles at the Hornburg (Helm's Deep), Pelennor Field's and
the Black Gate or Mordor.
Now thanks to Turbine Inc you get the chance to visit Bag End,
take a stroll through the Old Forest, have a drink at the Prancing
Pony in Bree and gaze upon the beauty of Rivendell.
But if you are one of the many who have chosen Linux to be your
operating system of choice you will not be able to run the games
launcher using wine.
The actual game works very well under wine, with just a few
adjustments needed to wine's registry and the games
UserPreferences.ini file. Details of these adjustments can be found
at the wine AppDB page for the Lord of the Rings Online.
Usage:
Compile the LotROLinux executable using
./configure
make
You may get error messages concerning a few packages, following
is a list of the package mentioned and the package to install via
synaptic (hopefully non-Ubuntu users can find the required package
in their package manager)
gtkhtml-sharp-2.0 = libgnome2-0-cil
mcs = mono-mcs or mono-develop
Installation Instructions:
For use with Lord of the Rings Online place LotROLinux.run and
LotROLinux.ico in your Lord of the Rings Online directory (the one
containing lotroclient.exe).
For use with Dugeons & Dragons Online place LotROLinux.run
and DDOLinux.ico in your Dugeons & Dragons Online directory
(the one containing dndclient.exe).
Run LotROLinux.run using either ./LotROLinux.run or mono
LotROLinux.run
You can change your wine settings via the Settings ->
Options menu.
If save these settings is ticked then your account name,
language and realm selection are saved when you successfully
login.
NB: Your password is not saved for security reasons.
The gui will attempt to show the latest news via the
gecko/firefox renderer if it can access it. Failing that it will
use the standard KHTML browser.
What's New in This Release:
· Prevent launcher crashing if authentification server
is down
· You can now have two versions of LOTRO and two of DDO
(for anyone who has the test client or just needs more than
one)
· Switched to using gmcs & 2.0 of the framework for
better list and string handling.
