How To: Install ZX Online PH on Ubuntu [Updated]

noreply@blogger.com (gonkyouka) — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 07:34:00 +0000

There might be some players (like me) who uses linux but wanna play zx at the same time so i figured out it'll be a great idea to make a guide about it:

*This guide was made under Ubuntu Linux Jaunty Jackalope

Installing Wine
There are three ways to install Wine.

First is by downloading a .deb package depending on your distro and issue the following commands in the terminal:
~$ cd path/of/your/downloaded/debpackage/here
~$ sudo dpkg -i name_of_the_package_file_here.deb
~$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

or if you want an easier way, you can search for wine through synaptic package manager:
System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager
enter your root password
type 'wine' in the search box
tick the box before it and choose 'Mark for installation'
click apply

If you're a terminal guy, you might want to install it from the terminal.
~$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
~$ sudo apt-get install wine

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installing ZX Online PH
Here are the two ways of installing zx on Ubuntu.

*Make sure to install Windows' Flash player 10 for IE install_flash_player_ax.exe
and the one for other browsers (firefox, opera, safari, etc) install_flash_player.exe

Its either running the game's installer by
right clicking on it and choose "Open with Wine Windows program loader"

or issue these commands in terminal:
~$ cd /path/of/your/zx_installer
~$ wine ZXOnlineSetup_01062009.exe #replace the orange with whatever the name of your zx online installer is#

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Adding Wine into Software Sources to make sure its always updated:

Open Software Sources~
System > Administration > Software Sources
enter root password
Select 'Thrid-Party Software' tab
Click add and add the following APT lines depending on which (Ubuntu) version you're using

For Ubuntu Jaunty (9.04):
deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt jaunty main #WineHQ - Ubuntu 9.04 "Jaunty Jackalope"

For Ubuntu Intrepid (8.10):
deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt intrepid main #WineHQ - Ubuntu 8.10 "Intrepid Ibex"

For Ubuntu Hardy (8.04):
deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt hardy main #WineHQ - Ubuntu 8.04 "Hardy Heron"

After adding the repository, you also need to add the key for the repository to your system's list of trusted keys.
Download and save Scott Ritchie's key (right click -> save as) to your desktop. Then open the Authentication tab, click import key file, and select the key file you just saved (Scott Ritchie.gpg).

Click close when done and choose reload when prompted.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you do not have the installer but you still have a copy of the entire folder of zx online, you just have to browse into its launcher folder

i.e. /media/Ubuntu 9.04 i386/Zhu Xian Online/launcher or /home/gonkyouka/Documents/Zhu Xian Online/launcher
then right click on the launcher.exe and choose "Open with Wine windows program loader"

or in terminal:
~$ cd /home/gonkyouka/Documents/Zhu Xian Online/launcher
~$ wine launcher.exe

Enjoy!

Mozilla Labs' Persona for Firefox

noreply@blogger.com (gonkyouka) — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 03:54:00 +0000

Personas for Firefox is a extension that adds lightweight theming to your browser.
Personas is a prototype that builds upon the ideas that:

themes today are too hard to find, install and use
graphic designers should be able to style the browser without having to code
browsers can be more than just desktop software, they can include online components
people just want their computer to be a little more fun and personal

This version improves upon a prototype that was discussed and tested earlier this year.

Installing nvidia/ati video drivers in Ubuntu 9.04

noreply@blogger.com (gonkyouka) — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 14:32:00 +0000

I installed the latest Ubuntu distro a while ago and so far its working flawlessly to me.. well at least thats the case at the moment.

The first thing I installed is my video card's driver. It's a GeForce 7050 PV / Nvidia nForce 630a - a chipset actually.

In order for me to install it the fastest way, I use Alberto Milone's Envy. Lookin at the table of the operating systems supported, I didnt noticed that Jaunty Jackalope Ubuntu 9.04 was there so instead, I installed the EnvyNG.

Here's what I did:

1. Enabled the ubuntu's "universe" and "multiverse" repositories.

-it's under System > Administration > Software Sources.
in the Ubuntu Software tab, check the second box that says:
Community-maintained open source software (universe)
and the fourth tab:
Software restricted by copyright or legal issues (multiverse)

Click Ok > Reload > Close

2. Install Envy by typing the code in the terminal:
sudo apt-get install envyng-gtk

..and now were done installing envy

3. Open Envy by clicking it in
Applications > System tools > Envy
or if in case its not therem you may type the following code in the terminal:
sudo envyng -t

4. Follow on-screen instructions.
5. reboot..

Everything's done. Thats how easy it is to install nvidia and ati drivers in Ubuntu.

[GUIDE] How to make your own Cabal Theme

noreply@blogger.com (gonkyouka) — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 14:04:00 +0000

I assumed that everyone here know already how to apply Cabal Online customized skins since FortRuinaManager made a guide about it in Cabal Online PH Official Forums. If you are reading this and yet don't know how to apply customized skins in your Cabal, you might spend a couple of minutes reading it here first.

So, everything's done. You are ready to change your Cabal Online theme but you don't have a theme to replace your old one with. You try searching the net but luck seem to elapsed you. You spend a little more time holding on your temper just to get the theme that might change your mood. And poof! You bump into a website that huge amount of Cabal themes can be downloaded. Your excitement is overflowing, with too much haste, you click on the download button so excitedly. Then after downloading, you unzipped it but WTF!OMG!AFK!BRB! You don't like it actually. The file that you have just downloaded is really really nothing but just a bunch of FU$%^&*() crap that makes you think that you are the most unlucky person in the world...

Well you aren't really that unlucky if you bump in my blog.

This is all about making your own Cabal Online theme so instead of spending more time on the internet looking for crap themes you are now spending your time in Photoshop or GIMP or whatever photo editing software you like the most.

Let's get started.

TOOLS YOU NEED:

If you're a Photoshop guy, then there's no need to worry about downloading any other photo-editing software that is available on the net. You just have to download the following files.
1. Adobe Photoshop - Any version will do. In case you dun have it yet which is kinda impossible (LOL)
2. NVIDIA DDS Plugin for Photos hop - You have to install this plugin for you to be able to open DDS files (Files in Cabal Online theme are saved as DDS files).

For those who doesn't know how to use Photoshop, I recommend using the following:
1. GIMP 2.6.2 - Easy to use image editing software.
2. DDS Plugin for GIMP - Install this file so you can open DDS files in your GIMP application.

Or you might want to try the alternative:
1. Paint.Net 3.36 - Another image editing software.
2. DDS Plugin for Paint.Net - This file will allow you to open DDS files in your Paint.Net
Click here for the instructions on installing this plugin.

Optional Tools:
1. Windows Texture Viewer - So that you'll be able to view DDS files without opening Photoshop.
2. DDS thumbnail viewer - Use this file to view thumbnails of DDS files.

Now you have all the tools. It's time for us to begin. Since I know a little in Photoshop, We'll be using Photoshop CS4 Extended in this tutorial.

Things you need to know:
Cabal Online Theme files were saved in the folder named Theme1 which can be found in:

For 32-bit xp users:
X:\Program Files\e-Games\CABAL Online (PH)\DATA\UI\Theme1

For 64-bit xp users:
x:\Program Files (x86)\e-Games\CABAL Online (PH)\DATA\UI\Theme1

were x is the drive letter where your Cabal Online PH was saved.

STEPS:

Make sure to backup all the original Cabal Online PH theme files so when everything is messed up, there is no need for you to worry.

To make a backup:
Navigate to X:\Program Files\e-Games\CABAL Online (PH)\DATA\UI\
again, x is the letter of your drive where Cabal Online PH was installed.

Right click on the Theme1 folder > choose copy

Open My Documents > right click in an empty area > choose paste.

Rename that folder into Theme1_backup
then make another copy and rename it as Theme1_project

At this point there should be something like this in your My Documents folder:

Theme1_backup - This is your backup file
Theme1_project - This is where you saved your theme before replacing the actual cabal theme files.

Since we will be editing the Select Server screen the original DDS file which we are going to open is the UI_Texture4.dds because it is where select server is located.

Navigate in your Theme1_project folder then open UI_Texture4.dds

To do that: right click on it > open with.. > choose adobe photoshop > click ok
Tip: Tick on the check box that says Always use the selected program to open this kind of file
So, you everytime you open DDS files you just have to double click on it.

Select the Server Select screen using the rectangular marquee tool.
Tip: Zoom it out to about 1200% so you can clearly see each pixel.

Press ctrl+j to duplicate that part of the layer. Rename it to Server Select

Make a new layer between your Background and the Server Select layer you created.
To do this: Click on the background layer then click on create new layer. Rename it to Black Background
Tip: Make sure to click the background first before clicking the create new layer, in this way you are sure enough that the new layer you created will appear just above the background layer and below the select server layer.

Use the Paint bucket tool to fill that layer with black.

Now everything should turn black aside from the select server this is to make sure that you won't mess up the other part on the file and that you won't be bothered by any other images.

You can now do whatever you want with that Server Select server layer. In my case I replace that layer with this one:
When everything is in the right place, turn off the visibility of the old server select and the black background layers. Click on the eye icon to turn off the visibility.

Now you're done! Save it as UI_Texture4.dds
Paste it in your Cabal Online theme folder. If in case you forgot where it is, you might want to scroll upward way up to the first part of this tutorial.

If you're asked wether to replace the old one, click YES

Now it's time to check if it really works. Restart your Cabal Online PH to take effect.
This is what is looks like in-game:

In my case I changed this entire page:
into this:

So i have the following in-game skin:

My login screen:

Select Server screen:
Character Select screen:

Create Character screen:
I'm not done with this theme, I am still fixing some glitches T___T If you like this tutorial or my skin please feel free to leave a comment or give me a backlink.

Thanks!

"Everything I Am lyrics"
Lexington Bridge

For all the love that we share
For every moment,
Every time you´re there
You make it easy,
Every step of the way
For all the love that we share

For all the joy that you bring
For all the good times,
All the special things
You make it easy,
Like a natural thing
For all the joy that you bring

And if i´m lost,
If i fall behind
I trust in you to make me come alive

You show me everything i am
No doubt about it
Now my heart is in your hand
You show me everything i am
How to understand
´cause with you i can be everything i am

For all the things that we do
Any little flavour,
What you want me to
I´ll make it easy,
Just call out your name
Baby, i can do it for you

And if you´re down,
If you hit the ground
Just trust in me to make you come alive

You show me everything i am
No doubt about it
Now my heart is in your hand
You show me everything i am
How to understand
´cause with you i can be everything i am

You should know
I´m doin´ everything i can
I work so hard to make your dreams come true
It´s all for you
Together we can keep our love alive
Tryin´ hard,
Give it all
´cause you make me all i am

(Chorus x2)
