Win(e)SPMBT under Linux. (Ubuntu 7.10)

[Deadeye]

Hi James,

I setup a test environment with a stock, unpatched WINE 1.1.5, WinSPMBT v4, no DLL overrides.

After doing some quick tests (not exhaustive by any means), as you stated above WinSPMBT works great except for the icon in MOBHack and clicking the link for the Manual. The mouse worked great so there is no need for the mouse hack any longer. I had no indications of slowdowns when switching between WinSPMBT and other programs.

There is an easy way to solve the Manual problem.

First off, find the file
.wine/drive_c/Program Files/WinSPMBT/Game Notes/spmbtguide.htm
make a backup copy of it and open it with a text editor.

You will see two references to
images/manual.htm

Change both references to
Images/manual.htm

and save the file.

Now in your Linux version of Firefox (or Konqueror or whatever browser you use), you can just open the file
.wine/drive_c/Program Files/WinSPMBT/Game Notes/spmbtguide.htm
and bookmark it for easy access.
