gem install gtk2 -v 3.0.8

Please let me know if this works. And don't forget, depending on your set up, you may.need.to use did I.

Thanks! Can you update the Ubuntu install on the Lich site? Also, I like putting all my games in their own WINEPREFIX. Appears I need to install into the default wine location?

Thanks again.

For the WINEPREFIX, it did not pick it up. Do I need to specify a command or other option in the launcher window?

Note that you can play natively without wine.

Warlock (Java GUI): http://warlock.sourceforge.net/

Profanity (Ruby Terminal): https://github.com/matt-lowe/ProfanityFE

I'm not sure, but I think you basically just copy profanity.rb into your lich directory, then in a terminal inside that directory, make it executable. Here, "$" represents a terminal prompt, not something you should type.

$ chmod +x profanity.rb

Now all you really need to do is to make lich able to login without a front end. If you already have done this by saving character profiles, great! If not, just run lich blindly, from the same directory:

$ ./lich.rb

This should make a GUI pop-up. Choose the tab Game Entry, enter your account and password, select the character of interest. Don't care about if Wizard or Stormfront radio button is selected. But make sure you check the box "Save this info for quick game entry"

Probably, it will fail to launch the game when you select it. That doesn't matter, it only matters that it saved the information for quick login. Once that's done, in one terminal window, type all this mess (and change 'Kaldonis' to your character's name):

$ sudo ruby $HOME/lich/lich.rb --login Kaldonis --without-frontend --detachable-client=8000

Then in a different terminal, also in the lich directory:

$ ./profanity.rb --port=8000

If you shoot me an email via my play.net account, I can send you a couple shell scripts that are handy for this stuff.

You may need to install some ncurses things, though if you paste a relevant error message I might be able to help. I don't recall having to install much if anything to run it.

I might bother posting them, along with my .profanity.xml configuration file, to my github or somewhere else. One reason preventing me from posting my login shell script is...the name of the script is a profane word... :D

Hello,

I am moving from Warlock to Lich. I showed my wife some of the features, the map for one, and she loved it. Therefore, I need to move to it.

I know Warlock is a front end. I like it. If you have the commands to launch Lich with Warlock, I would like them. The only downside is Warlock development seems stuck at the moment, unless that changed recently.
