Hello community,
My friend (on Linux) recently downloaded THUG2 and THUGpro, and he managed to get THUG2 working just fine.
However when he tries to install thugpro it doesnt open the installation, nothing happend. He tried running the program with Wine.
Hopefully anyone of you could help us out so I can play with him, thanks in advance for the help.

Don't you see any warning when you try to run it? Maybe running as administrator (if that exists in Linux) ?
-
You should send him your installed thugpro folder. Then he can try to run it instead of installing it.

That's an interesting solution. I'm going to try it. I'm uploading it for him so we can test when he's home

''its an exe file on a linux so it wont work'' (at least not this)
this is what my friend said. we have no luck yet.
-
[16:55:51] Joris van Dijk: Does it come up with anything? Can you right click the EXE (or the installer for that matter) and check properties? maybe administrator or compatibility modes?
[16:56:32] Arvo K: i could try, but i dont know that. it just pretends to start up the file, but it just disappears after like 5 seconds
More conversation between us about the problem that might give some insight.
-
You can't just run an exe on Linux. He needs to use Wine or something like it.
There was never an official Linux release of thug2 so you have to use workarounds.
-
He does use Wine. It did work for the original Thug2 as I said before, there's just no luck at all for thugpro.
-
(So your name is Joris, eh?)
-
Yeah, I don't mind using my real name online :P I just removed my friends last name in case he wouldnt like me putting it.
-
I don't even know what's the deal with last names, lol
Either way, good luck to both of you with that! ;P
Can't help cuz im full Windows, no Linux nor Mac here. :l
-
I'll see if I can get something working on mine. Never tried before.
-
Good luck sk8ace!
-
I wish ya luck as well! I actually wanna see if this 2 are fun playing THUGPro with.
Unless it turns out they don't know what behaviour is.
Other than that, they're welcome with open arms to "my" skype group! ;3
-
I'm down to Skype sometime this week, skype is thedudecalledjoris.
any fixes, support, and help will be appreciated, but fun is good too :D
-
I had no luck.. Best option IMO is to dual boot windows and play it there.
The Thugpro devs will most likely never support a linux version.
If he still wants to get it working, there is a Mac install guide that should be similar to linux.

Scroll down a bit to see it.

Well, then wait till i fix my PC, lol
Just to try to find me on THUGPro as ShutMeUp!!!, i'll decide if you're a worthy invite or just a time-consuming attempt! ;P
Hint: You gotta show you're worth it, which shouldn't be hard, just no being dull, savage, edgy, rude nor cocky and you're almost guaranteed to gain my trust, if your friend is just like you and i do trust you, he can be there too!
Im mainly doing this "test" because the whole group has already been facing too much bullshit, so best not to go through even more, lol.
But please be patient, the PC is hopefully fixed tomorrow or sometime this week.

@ShutMeUp!!!
I'm by no means an amazing player of THUGpro, my tryhard combo's are usually around 4/8 million, my casual ones like 1/2. I mainly like chilling, free skate, chats, etc. I do like gamemodes though, just not the Trick Attack spam everyone does. KoTH, Scavenger, firefight and graffiti are my favourites. Goal attack is also really cool.
I'm not a bullshit troll, spammer, annoyer, bully or anything like that, I just like to have a casual fun time with friends. I understand you want to avoid those toxic people, even when it can be hard.
Good luck to you and your pc, I'll see when you hit me up!
@others
Sorry for off-topic. I'm still thankful for all the help. I've let my friend read the responses, even though he's a bit annoyed it wont work, he will keep trying at his own pace. (he does admit Linux can kinda suck though, which I understand)
-
The only way to truly get this to work would be for us to compile both the updater and the launcher against mono (which is lacking and might in the end not work).
Then you have to deal with the dll and changing anything there that might conflict with linux (and there are many distributions).
What this means is we would need to supply/maintain multiple versions of files for a very small group of people.
This is a free and in our spare time project and as you might've guessed already we don't have very much knowledge in cross platform development.
You're going to need to go the same route as mac users and use some method that allows you to run a windows application on a mac and in your case linux.

Consider me officially convinced you're a fun guy, even tho i like TA so i can get better at the game but you gave me a good point, now im definitively looking forward to see ya in-game!
(I just hope you're not too innocent cuz you might see ALL kinds of things there in the chat, lol)
Needless to say, "Good luck to both of you". ;)

Tell him to install something called PlayOnLinux. its a tool to provide easier access to wine extras and manages multiple wine folders too
Once tries to install a new program choose to install a non-listed program and when it asks for extra packages to install, choose this one: "gdiplus"
Now just proceed with the instalation. When using the launcher and pressing start game the uptader may get stuck on "Finishing Update" if it does that just try to close that window and the game will work just fine
Beware if you go on something that has reflections or glass the game hud may glitch out for a few seconds and come back but that's just minor

But THUGPro never had reflections or glass... Sk8ace!! We got a lame-ass bot here!!!
(For real, tho, is this an actual guy or is it a low-profile yet very well coded spambot? The name is suspiciously random.. IDENTIFY YOURSELF, SEND A SCREENSHOT OF YOUR CAS.)
For real, tho, for how long have you been lurking?
EDIT: Just wanted to add that it has been over-proved, like, damn, it's good it was proved but i have around 5 messages telling me more and more proof.. a_a'
It's feels like i asked for a penny and they give me 100 pennies. e_e
Except this weren't pennies at all, lol..
EDIT 2: I hope i don't sound very mean here, if i do, i apologize again!
-
Pretty sure he is not a bot.
IP matches F_Canudo from thugpro.
-
Yeah it's him,it's Canudo.JVFC are the initials of his name.It's a Brazillian friend,so you may chill,it's no bot.
-
Thank you for the answer, Canudo, and welcome to the forums :D. I've showed my friend your solution, idk if he's still motivated enough to try and get it though, but I do really appreciate all help.
-
Nice to hear that, maybe i got too paranoid for no reason.. :l
My apologies! D:

Hahahahaahha I'm not lurking for way too long I created the account a few months back but never gave too much attention.
And then I saw this thread about linux and decided to help based on personal experience :D
if you are still intrested enough you also have to install the pacakges "directx9" and "dotnet40"
also run this command before running the game:
sudo echo 0 | sudo tee /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scopeEdit: that command above is just for the install (or not I need to do some more testing)
AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DON'T STAND WAY TOO MUCH BESIDES BARCELONA WATER UNLESS YOU WANNA HAVE A SEIZURE
And yess there is glass with shaders(sort of) in thugpro. ALSO FOR ALL THAT IS HOLY PLS DON'T BREAK THE GLASS IN HIGH SCHOOL(THP8) OR THE SAME THING WILL HAPPEN
Basically everything that has some sort of glass or water. just stay away from it...

See? 8)

Hey Canudo, good to meet you. It seems like he has some lag issues running a glitch park in Windows 10... I'm running it in Linux Mint without problems. Haven't tried the water or glass things yet. He's a cool guy and a reasonably good player. Welcome to the forums!

Here are my setup and test results for THUG2 and THUG Pro running under Wine on Linux. Your results may vary by distro.

Actually now that I think of it I did see the HUD distortion glitch briefly the other day. I believe I was in one of the THUG city levels, it happened while I was online.
-
Thank you, Snipe!
In the update log of the last one I read there was wine support now for Linux, and that is really good news!
-
There has always been support for wine but with my program it installs and configures THUGPRO to run with one simple command
