Running EQ under LINUX

Its like a Windows batch file. You just create a text file of the above and then run it (or point your shortcut to open the shell script).

You technically could run the commands in a terminal and it would work just the same

Didn't know you ran Linux lol learn something new everyday.

So I set that up in a text, then alter username to reflect mine. Then I just run it? Do I alter anything else? Like I said, linux n00b. Literally 5 days into this OS and very over my head haha. Thanks for your help already.

Once you have the file created, you can just open up all its permissions with:

chmod 777 EQStart.sh

Does the script bypass the auto update feature?

Also (and again I am so sorry, just so new to all this and little to no coding background to be able to sort this shit):
- do I remove the # at the beginning?
- do I need to grab the script's cwd set? If so, how do I do that?
- what is/how do I bind to one core of the processor and launch?

[Kavious]

Yes, this starts the game using the command suggested in the install guide which you can see in the Launch Titanium.bat file. This script just forces the game to use one cpu core. Some players experience a lot of disconnect issues when multi-core is enabled

What you never want to do is load the game using Everquest.exe, that will cause a bad day

Okay so I copy pasted that script into a text file and renamed to EQStart.sh. I changed permissions by right clicking and made it executable. When I click on it though, nothing happens. Keep in mind I did change the username in the script. Any ideas?

And that's a yes to removing the initial #? And also grabbing the cwd from Launch titanium.bat file ? This is nuts but well worth the time for p99

[Kavious]

No need to remove any #'s, I figure its commented out for a reason. I didnt write the script, found it a couple years ago and its worked really good

Edit: Found where I got it, the original post of this thread [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

And all you did was install Titanium, d/l and extract current p99 version, and then create this EQStart.sh? I'm just not sure what to do to get it to launch eq since nothing happen when I double click the .sh file.

[Kavious]

I would open a terminal and cut & paste each command and see if you get any errors

Okay I'll try that. Taking off for a time. Thanks for your help and swift replies. I'll post how it goes.
