HowTo / Notes

mfc42.dll gdiplus.dll needed

TroopMaster needs mfc42.dll and gdiplus. Use winetricks to get it. See http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks

After downloading the script,

%  sh winetricks vcrun6 gdiplus

The mshtml.dll also needs to be overridden using winecfg.


WARNING
doesn't run under wine 1.1.22
HOWTO

1.) install latest version of wine

  •   follow install instructions from wine download page

2.) install cabextract either through you package manager, or termnal  http://www.cabextract.org.uk/

  sudo apt-get install cabextract

3.)  then get winetricks http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks

  •   now depending on how you set up wine tricks you can type in termnal

  sh winetricks

  or

  winetricks

4.) select vcrun6 and gdiplus in the gui (graphical user interface) that shows up

  • if you want to center the image when the program loads select ie6

5.) select next

  • now run your troopmaster installer .exe
  • follow troopmaster instructions as they popup

------Desktop------

  1. after installing there was no ico file for me to find. i downloaded a png file from Here
   2.then install imagemagick

sudo apt-get install imagemagick

   3.ran the this command

convert [location]/633976.png to [other location not on desktop]/633976.xpm

*reasion being that if you delete this file the icon will no longer show*

   4.now go to ~/.wine/drive_c/Troopmaster Software/TM4
   5.right click the troopmaster.exe and select make link
   6.move it to your desktop rename it to TroopMaster
   7.right click the link and select properties
   8.click the image that apperes on the new window
   9.go the the location of your new icon file and select it

---------------------------personal notes---------------------

i am willing to take suggestions and spelling and grammar checks (spelling and grammar is not my forte)

if you find that anything is not working, report it



moving water causes TM to seem to hang

When you first install TroopMaster, the background is of an outdoor scene with moving water. Sometimes this causes to program to peg the CPU. This background is the file 'troopmaster.gif' in the "Troopmaster Software\TM4" directory. There is another background without moving called with filename 'troopmaster.jpg'. If you are having this problem, do the following:

 1. rename troopmaster.gif to some temporary name, like troopmaster.tmp.

 2. rename troopmaster.jpg to troopmaster.gif

3. rename the temporary troopmaster.tmp to troopmaster.gif

4. Now that you've reversed the two background files, Troopmaster should start up with no moving background, and the program should be responsive. You can now change the Preferences to use still water:

File->Preferences...

Select 'Background' tab

click button "Watercolor with still water" (This is troopmaster.jpg)


5. Now name the files back as they were originally.
