Hello /g/. I've been using Ganoo slash loonix for a while, however I need your help.
I have installed Fallout and it runs great with wine. However; I don't like having to sift through folders to finally find the exe file and run it through wine, so naturally I created a symlink usingln -s /home/sam/.wine/drive_c/GOG\ Games/Fallout/falloutw.exe falloutand running wine over the said symlink. Of course it didn't work, I get "wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\fallout.exe" " as an error.
Any one have an idea about how can I fix this?

It thinks you're trying to run the program, not the symlink.
Try wine ./fallout
>>44343662
Oh, thank you. We're making progress, I just get a "masterfile not found error". Apparently it found fallout but not the other files in the same folder.
>>44343684
It probably expects these files to be in your working directory.
you can run it like this w/o a symlink:cd ~/.wine/drive_c/GOG\ Games/Fallout/ && wine fallout.exe
>>44343557
use an alias in .bashrc

Thanks but the whole point is to run the game with a short command instead of having to navigate my file arborescence every single time.
>>44343757
How do I do that
>>44343776
alias fallout='wine /home/sam/.wine/drive_c/GOG\ Games/Fallout/falloutw.exe'
then you can run fallout from anywhere

Make a small script

Thank you based Anon.

Alternatively, you can just use a script:echo "wine /home/sam/.wine/drive_c/GOG\ Games/Fallout/falloutw.exe" > fallout.sh && chmod u+x fallout.sh
Then you can just click on it from your desktop.

Actually wine doesn't seem to be able to run the game with either of these scripts. Can't find the masterfile. Oh well.
