==How to install AEInstaller== | |||
This is a rather straightforward process. | |||
# Download the latest Windows version of the AEInstaller from the Oni Mod Depot ( [http://mods.oni2.net/node/79 click here] ). | |||
# Open a Linux terminal, export "Oni" WINEPREFIX, navigate to the folder with the AEInstaller and initiate the installation process. | |||
#: <code> export WINEPREFIX=/full_path_to_the_folder_where_Oni_WINEPREFIX_is_located </code> | |||
#: <code> cd /full_path_to_the_AEInstaller </code> | |||
#: <code> wine Anniversary-Edition-Setup-vXX.YY_ZZ.exe </code> | |||
#: During the AEInstaller installation, there will be a prompt to provide Oni installation directory. | |||
#: Navigate to the appropriate directory. Linux machine directory tree should be mapped as a drive "/". | |||
# At the end of the installation, the AEInstaller will be automatically executed and will attempt to fetch updates. | |||
#: During the fetching process, it may appear that the AEInstaller has hanged. That is not true, it just does not signalize that there is some work being done in the background. Be patient. | |||
==How to launch AEInstaller== | |||
# AEInstaller will be automatically launched once - during the installation process of the AEInstaller. Nice. | |||
# However, to normally launch the AEInstaller as a user, open a Linux terminal, export "Oni" WINEPREFIX, navigate to the folder with the '''AEInstaller2Updater.jar''' file and launch the jar file through Wine JAVA Runtime Environment. | |||
#: <code> export WINEPREFIX=/full_path_to_the_folder_where_Oni_WINEPREFIX_is_located </code> | |||
#: <code> cd /full_path_to_the_AEInstaller2Updater.jar </code> | |||
#: <code> wine start /ProgIDOpen jarfile AEInstaller2Updater.jar </code> | |||
==Patch Oni via AEInstaller== | |||
# Let the AEInstaller do its magic. ^_^ | |||
==How to launch patched Oni== | |||
There are two possible ways to launch Oni. | |||
# Launch the game through the AEInstaller application. | |||
# Open a Linux terminal, export "Oni" WINEPREFIX, navigate to the folder with the patched Oni.exe file and launch it via Wine. | |||
#: <code> export WINEPREFIX=/full_path_to_the_folder_where_Oni_WINEPREFIX_is_located </code> | |||
#: <code> cd /full_path_to_the_patched_Oni.exe </code> | |||
#: <code> wine Oni.exe </code> | |||
