RO on Mac OS X

[Plover]

Ok, It's been done. RO runs sufficiently well on Mac OS X under CrossOver Games, with a little tweaking in winecfg.

Steps to get RO running in mac os x:
1) Download the Regnum Online installer for windows
2) Obtain a copy of CrossOver Games (this is about $40 I think...)
3) Launch CrossOver Games
4) Click Install Software on the CXG main window
5) Click "Install Unsupported Software..."
6) Click "Continue"
7) Select "New Bottle", and then Create Bottle and Continue
8) Name your bottle, and then choose winxp for the type
9) Click "Choose Installer File...", and then Install.
10) Follow the normal RO setup
11) Go to Manage Bottles (Configure>Manage Bottles)
12) Select the bottle you previously created
13) Click the Advanced tab, and click "Open C: Drive in Finder"
14) Open up a web browser and search for "USERENV.dll". Download this and place a copy in the ./system and ./system32 directories, relative to the C: directory you just opened. I placed it in both just to be safe. Close this Finder window.
15) Back in the Manage Bottles window, click the Control Panel tab and then launch winecfg
16) Click the Libraries tab, and in the text field for "New override for library:", type "userenv.dll". Then click add.
17) Find the newly created userenv.dll in the "Existing Overrides" list, select it and click Edit, and set it to Native.
18) Click the Graphics tab now, and set Wine to emulate a virtual desktop. Then set your desired RO window size.
19) Click OK to save and exit winecfg

You should now be good to go. Launch RO from wherever the installer created the launcher, and it should all work. It runs for me with Direct 3D, and the game sound even works. Tell RO to run in fullscreen mode, otherwise it doesn't render correctly.

Shown in screenshot is RO running at 1680x1050x32 with weather/lighting/particle FXs on, high view distance and high texture quality. Pretty good FPS, very small (acceptable) animation glitches. The FPS I'm getting is only about 30 lower than I would with the native Linux client.

Running on Macbook Pro 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo w/NVidia GeForce 8600M GT

If somebody can confirm that this works for them also, we should get this thread stickied for potential mac customers.

Thank you VERY MUCH Arwen for helping me get this working!
