P99 on Linux Mint
I used to play p99 on a windows desktop but have been away for years. I'm trying to get back into Norrath, but the only computer I have is a laptop running Linux mint. I'm not at all familiar with Linux and don't know where to start. I know there is a guide for linux users but I don't understand much of the technical jargon and again....i'm not familiar enough with linux to get it working...I'm becoming discouraged.
Help? | ||

But really you don't need a guide:

P.S. That guide is a little old, but it's a wiki, so if anything seems wrong about it feel free to fix it!

I had a lot of trouble with one monitor (couldn't click the skill point up/down boxes on character creation) but switching monitors fixed that problem. Was a resolution issue.
There is one outstanding bug with WINE EQ. You cannot drag the mouse w/ mouselook past the ends of the screen. If you were going to use a modern quake-style control scheme, you will be disappointed. | ||

I have just got P1999 running using Steam on Linux! This solved my mouse look issues and I can even use the in-game graphics settings (brightness ect.) that didnt work at all in Wine for me. Just add P1999 as a non-steam game, then use the GE proton runtime.
This is the proton runtime I'm using: https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/p...ustom/releases | ||

There's generally three things you can play with on Linux
It's all a lot more of a guessing game than an exact science. Good luck.

Hello there. I recently created a shell script to install Project1999 on Linux, specifically tested on Linux Mint. All you need is a torrent client, the rest is done for you.
A friend was tired of manually setting everything up on new machines. I did a little digging on the P99 on Linux wiki and threw together a small script. It should work on any Debian based distribution, but if you are using another distribution you can just install the required packages manually before running the script. I'll add other distribution support in the future. Script was thrown together quickly and is a little rough, feel free to change it as you please. https://github.com/ftn806/P99-Linux-Installer | ||
