ShiftOS_TheReturn/LinuxLauncher/README.md

This is an attempt to get ShiftOS working well on Linux using Wine and Mono.

The launcher script needs a copy of the game (try extracting Debug.zip from the AppVeyor project) in a directory called "data". It will set up a new Wine prefix in ~/.local/share/ShiftOS and the game itself can be found in ~/.local/share/ShiftOS/drive_c/ShiftOS. Ultimately I want to make an AUR package of this script if all goes to plan.

known bugs

• the first time you start the game, the Wine virtual desktop doesn't enable properly
• text input boxes are white on white
• the terminal puts an extra newline after displaying the prompt
• the ShiftOS desktop can go in front of applications
• there is a blue border from the Wine desktop (I want to change that to black, but I also don't want it showing through while the game is running)
• CSharpCodeProvider doesn't seem to work, so Python mods won't load

anticipated tricky bits

• Web browser
• Unity mode
