Hey guys i've made a tutorial for playing Zdaemon on linux, all you need it's Wine (a windows emulator). For the instalation script, wget its needed.

Here you can watch the video of how to install zdaemon (official client) under linux, it's done with english and spanish subtitles, so watch it, comments are welcome:



VIDEO: http://skatox.com/blog/videos/Zdaemon_wine_tutorial.mpg

Original Source: http://skatox.com/blog/?p=190

/*****This is a script that i made for automatic instalation*********/
Let's say unofficial Zdaemon Linux installer:

Code:
#!/bin/bash
if [ -n "`wine --version 2>/dev/null`" ] #Check if wine is installed
then
{
wget -c http://lupus.keystone.gr/zdaemon10803-setup.exe #Download the installer
wine zdaemon10803-setup.exe #The installer appear
echo "Done. Double click the icon on your Desktop for playing it"
}
else
echo Wine is not installed, please install it.
fi


//**** Instalador no-oficial en EspaƱol****// (Spanish)
Code:
#!/bin/bash
if [ -n "`wine --version 2>/dev/null`" ] #Chequea si Wine esta instalado
then
{
wget -c http://lupus.keystone.gr/zdaemon10803-setup.exe #Descarga el instalador
wine zdaemon10803-setup.exe #El instalador aparece en pantalla
echo "Listo. Double click al icono del Escritorio para jugar"
}
else
echo Wine no instalado, por favor instalalo.
fi

Yes i use Archlinux, but this should work with every distro that supports wine.

I thought such methods worked nicely until I had a 1-on-1 with another player; he complained that I lagged badly. I wonder if that issue has been addressed in wine yet.

yeah that script will only run on debian linux though, or debian based systems. its the only one that uses wget. you could probably re-write that same script with a different package manager but still.

That's not true. You can install wget and still work, i don't use debian based linux, it works on archlinux (the distro on the video).

But thanks and i'll add it to the dependencies.
