Oh, I forgot to say that I've had less troubles with BYOND ever since I went through the guide again on the BYOND Linux guild, but on to other news..

I've been playing with scripts now. I'm too lazy to type wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/BYOND/bin/byond.exe when I want to start on BYOND. So after doing it a hundred times I thought: Hey what if I set it to a script on the desktop...

And so I did. I created a empty file and named it to BYOND.exe With a text editor I put in:

#! /bin/sh -f


wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/BYOND/bin/byond.exe

Saved, then I right clicked the new file, went to properties then permissions and checked the ''Allow executing as program'' check box.

Additionally: I googled the byond images for the BYOND man to use it as the icon.

Once finished I can double click BYOND.EXE and select run. :) http://members.byond.com/Texter/files/byondbomb.png

You do know with wine you can just double click byond.exe in the bin directory :D this way no terminal popup :D.

It's a trap!

Yeah, WINE should set itself up to associate with files, so you should be able to make a shortcut to BYOND.EXE on your desktop and it should be able to resolve that it's a WINE file all by itself. Also, you can create shortcuts and put that command in, but I'm not sure how to do it in Gnome, as I'm a KDE man myself.

ATHK:

I have tried that before actually, however it says:

Cannot open /home/jacob/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/BYOND/bin/byond.exe: No application suitable for automatic installation is available for handling this kind of file.

So I had make a script for it. :( Also, if I do run and not run in terminal it can run without the terminal.

Change the open with settings to

Wine Windows Emulator.

Also with shortcuts im not completely sure how to do it.

[edit] ok figured it out.

wine .wine/drive_c/BYOND_355/bin/byond.exe

It should be in the Applications menu.

That is where I thought it would be, I recall seeing it there once before but it has since gone missing. Perhaps I should do a wine reinstall when I start putting on more windows applications
