Getting close (Hook under Linux)

[OysterMug]

I'm trying to figure out how to get Hook 5 running under Linux once again, and in the process, I nearly found a way to get Hook 4 working! ?

 

After much effort, I was able to install the "DirectX 9.0c" redistribution package under Wine but I have yet to figure out how to install DX11. (Yes, I have Vulkan & DxVk working.)

 

I decided (out of curiosity) to try running VX with Hook 4msvs7 installed, and to my astonishment, it actually ran! I get as far as trying to load a room, but just before it appears, I get this crash/error that I've never seen before:

 

 

For some reason, it looks like it doesn't detect/recognize my monitor ("CRT"). Very odd.

 

I have no idea how to fix this. Changing options in the Launch Menu does not help.

 

I'm sure I'll have H5 working as soon as I figure how how to install the DX11 redist files, Once I figure out these issues, I'll write a complete tutorial on how to install VX with Hook 4 & 5 support under Linux.

 

Any ideas?

CRT is not a monitor.

It is the C runtime.

On old MG Avarteas had described how to activate Hook on Linux. By its instructions I use Hook 3. I refused from Hook 5 due to the huge load of hardwear - on Linux any Hook load jumps sharply. Hook 3 use DirectX9 - this is good to my hardware. But Hook 5 use DirectX11 and this is two much for me. For all questions relating to the activation of whatever under Linux turn to Avarteas. Have a nice day.

Ah! That makes much more sense.

 

Now I must figure out which CRT is it looking for.

Yeah, I helped him write it. (after he helped me to get it working in the first place.)

 

I had saved the instructions, but a Ransomeware attack wiped it out last January.

 

I believe I have all the requirements in place except DX11. Still trying to figure out how to install that under Wine.
