Wine Ubuntu 12.04

[kai4785]

I'm about as big a Linux power user gets these days. I'm struggling to get the EQEmuLauncher to work properly. I get it all the way to the server selection screen, and then it doesn't matter what sort of clicking I can think of, it just sits. I can scroll up and down the list all I want. I have tried winetricks Mono 2.8.2 and 2.10.8, and EQEmuLauncher 1.71 and 1.78 (all 4 in the cartesian product).

If I just run eqgame.exe, I get logged in and told my spells_us.txt is out of date.

I can see a few options that might get me playing again.

1) The old setup guides used to have a link to the current spells_us.txt. Does anybody know what the current link is? (and potentially other resources as well?)
2) Perhaps the source code to the EQEmuLauncher program? That would do nicely.
3) Perhaps a working EQEmuLauncher xml file that has p1999 as a selected server (Maybe the "Play" button will work if I can select the dumb server)
4) Exhausting the EQEmuLauncher and Mono/DotNet version matrix.
5) I'm really not interested in entertaining the idea of running Windows, though I recognize it as a valid "option".

Anyone want to lend me a hand?

By the way, my wine config is currently "Out of the Box", and changing the VertexShaders=FALSE fixed the "invisible everything" issue. I'm quite pleased.
