Lineage 2 In Linux Windowed Mode Running
Screenshots in Screenshots forum
Old Lineage 2 Linux Thread
Major Issues
Mouse will Double Click on random areas, Known Spots listed below (along with ways around it)
System Button (Press Alt+X)
Options Button (Manually Edit file options.ini)
Community Button (Alt+cool.gif
Inventory Button (Alt+V)
Map in Hotbar (Alt+V Double Click Map)
Sit Button (Type /sit or /stand
Trade Window # select (if you wanted to trade 1 suede you would need to use keyboard as number pad double clicks and makes it 11)
Hotbar Pages (Alt-F1-F10)
Hotbar Vertical-Horizontal (Trick to this takes a bit of effort. Click the swirl arrow and drag away fast bout all I can say eventually you will beat the double click. I advise doing this in a safe area biggrin.gif)
Minor Issues
Buildings Gamma is off
Some Armor Does not Render color but remains solid black.
When looking up at sky armor renders that was solid black??? I am confused on this one. Will try to get it working.
Water does not reflect.
When loading game do not move mouse till you see login screen where you can type userinfo. If you do so your mouse will be out of sync.
Working Properly
Spellcasting
Death
Traders
Merchants
Hotbar!!!
Targeting
All forms of Chat
Navigating Inventory/Status once open.
Exit Game
Patching
Character Selection
Dragging Icons to hotbar, Trade, Equip (they remain invisible tho but you are moving them KEEP IN MIND THIS POINT!)
~~~~~~~~ Patches To CVS ~~~~~~~~
Below allows for the mouse to not get out of sync when mouselooking, I will try to explain this as best as possible. what it does is your physical mouse does not move but the cursor itself warps to center of screen this halts the cursor from warping to center of screen I will try to find a better fix that does not require commenting but at this point I have nothing better and this seems to work.

GEN_EVENT(This->offset_array[WINE_MOUSE_Y_POSITION], hook->pt.y - This->prevY, hook->time, (This->dinput->evsequence)++)
changed = TRUE;
}
- if (changed) {
- if (This->need_warp != WARP_NEEDED && This->need_warp != WARP_STARTED) {
- This->need_warp = WARP_NEEDED;
- }
- }

GEN_EVENT(This->offset_array[WINE_MOUSE_Y_POSITION], hook->pt.y - This->prevY, hook->time, (This->dinput->evsequence)++)

Now remember once you do this you should be able to login to lineage2 and operate the mouse! keep in mind that you must manually set the graphics cursor to non graphic cursor this is done by going to the system/option.ini file
So you can tell what I run my game at and have plenty of speed for all you skeptics out there here is my full options.ini
You will want to set your UseColorCursor=false that will disable your graphics cursor.

In Closing I would like to say thanks to all of those who have sent me private messages or posted on the forums, you really inspired me to do this work and make it work for the community on the whole and keep you updated before this point. I am hoping that in the future that people like me who wish to get these things done will get further help from A) Game Developers B)Transgaming C)User Community "I kinda negelected that part". I am very glad that so many of you are happy that I am doing this makes my efforts feel worthwhile. I will continue to work on this and try to get it as best running as possible till Trangaming decides to issue a proper patch. If things are broken due to Lineage2 Update I will work as fast as possible to get it working again.
