Nox under Wine / Fedora 16

Thursday, February 16th, 2012

I decided to get Nox from gog.com

cd ~
mkdir .wine-nox
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-nox/ wine ~/setup_nox.exe
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-nox/ winecfg

and configure the wine desktop as exactly 1024×768

Start nox

WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-nox/ wine ~/.wine-nox/drive_c/Program\ Files/GOG.com/NOX/NOX.EXE

After the intro go in to the settings and change the game screen size to 1024×768.

Now everything is running 🙂

I created a bash script to start nox next time

#!/bin/bash
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-nox/ wine ~/.wine-nox/drive_c/Program\ Files/GOG.com/NOX/NOX.EXE

I created the desktop file ~/.local/share/applications/nox.desktop as this
