Mount&Blade in linux
JanBielanski:
I will tell, how you can install Mount&Blade in Linux, this note is good for game version >=0.890
1. Yum must download the newest version of wine http://www.winehq.org/?announce=latest [inactive] and install this:
(in linux console: tar -xvvzf wine* cd wine* ./configure make depend make su // your password make install)
2. Run winecfg and there set windows version XP, and sound system ALSA
3. Download DirectX 9.0c, don't use setup.exe extract the file DirectX.cab you can use for this program 7zip it's easy to install in wine
4. Copy from DirectX.cab files cp *.dll to /home/use/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32 if program will overwrite files set NO
5. Download files d3dx9_31 to the latest from http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?d3dx9_31 [inactive] or extract from directx folder
and copy to /home/use/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32
6. Setup Mount&Blade -- don't use in configure M&B shadow quality its crushed game
7. If you want icons on pulpit you can write script:
#!/bin/sh
cd /home/user/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Mount\&Blade/
wine mount\&blade.exe
and use it for run game for example sh mb.sh
If you have some problems or have another solution writing here.

Wow yeah!!!! it looks like its working for me. I have to admit I just got a simple ubuntu laptop from dell and figured I wouldn't ever have any fun games on it then I remembered this game was a blast and figured what the heck lets see what its up to since the last time I played was before .808... So after reading this link and learning about wine all day I finally got it running. I am totally pysched! you the man jan!
btw the new version looks awesome too!
Aloha from Hawaii and much mahalos!

That's odd, I can't find a "DirectX.cab" file...

Hi,
I just managed make my midi keyboard work with Ubuntu 7.10 and now also M&B seems to work :D. Soon I have no reason to start Windows again. Not that I'm against it...
What I did:
1. Installed Wine with Graphical Synaptics Package manager
2. Started M&B installation by starting installer with command ./mountandblade_0892_setup.exe (Double Click the icon would have probably worked as well...)
3. After the installation I just double clicked the Mount&Blade Icon on the Desktop and It actually worked with sounds and music.
After trying it out a bit I changed the wine settings so that "Emulate a virtual desktop" is enabled. Only problem I see now is that mouse look does not work around but seems to has some limits. I have a feeling I had the same problem on Windows but can't be sure. There was no need to copy dx files.
This can't be simpler. All thanks to people who have worked for Wine. And thanks for pointing out that M&B works on Wine :).
Some System Details:
- Ubuntu Linux 7.10
- Intel Pentium 4 CPU
- Asus GeForce 7900 GTX using nVidia provided drivers
- Sound Blaster Live!
- 2GB memory
