Compatability files

Download dgvoodoo2 via:
  http://dege.freeweb.hu/dgVoodoo2/dgVoodoo2/
  Using version: v2.81.1
Setup commands (build prefix, add dgvoodoo2 etc.)

mkdir -p ~/.quarm  # Your new main area
cd ~/.quarm
mkdir QUARM                       # Hold game files here (so unzip the TAKP zip contents)
mkdir dgvoodoo                    # Hold the dgvoodoo2 files here
ls -l projectquarm_08_05_2023.zip # Ensure you have this from Discord #server-files

# Set up the prefix (these are important for the active shell session - prefix each command
# with these if you don't retain the export in your active env).
export WINEARCH=win32
export WINEPREFIX=~/.quarm/take1
wineboot
setup_dxvk install

# Copy your dgvoodoo2 d3d8.dll and d3d9.dll to the game file directory
cp dgvoodoo/MS/x86/D3D8.dll ./QUARM/d3d8.dll
cp dgvoodoo/MS/x86/D3D9.dll ./QUARM/d3d9.dll
rm QUARM/D3D8.dll QUARM/D3D9.dll                # Incase they were leftover from main unzip

# Tell your wine prefix to use those files sitting in the game file directory
wine reg add 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\DllOverrides' /v d3d8 /d native /f >/dev/null 2>&1
wine reg add 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\DllOverrides' /v d3d9 /d native /f >/dev/null 2>&1

# Add the quarm specific file(s):
cp projectquarm_08_05_2023.zip QUARM/
cd QUARM && unzip projectquarm_08_05_2023.zip # Overwrite (A) - see eqgame.dll replaced

# Try it out and confirm it works:
wine eqgame.exe # Or if using nvidia discrete on a laptop: 'prime-run wine eqgame.exe'
MIDI Support

For MIDI to work, you need to run something like this prior to starting the game (otherwise most town/vendor music is missing):
fluidsynth -s --audio-driver=pulseaudio -m alsa_seq /usr/share/soundfonts/freepats-general-midi.sf2
After ensuring the MIDI server and sound files are installed:
sudo pacman -S fluidsynth freepats-general-midi
Single install command via Lutris

If you don’t like doing things manually (beyond acquiring the files), you can use this installer for Lutris.
# Step 1: Get the game files (see earlier in this gist)
# Step 2: Run the command on the next line
#     lutris -i $(realpath ./eq-quarm.yml)
# Step 3: Enjoy Project Quarm
