Re: GURPS Character Assistant under Wine for Linux
I installed hplip and hpcups and my Quickview is working fine, but I still can't generate an export file or print preview of anything other than a blank page. Ideally, I'd like to print to pdf instead of dead tree copies, but I can't even export a .txt with any data.

Re: GURPS Character Assistant under Wine for Linux
Did you go into systems settings and see the PDF printer? Can you see it at all and print a test page? Also check the web admin page: http://localhost:631 and see if it works.
When you're in GCA and try to print, make sure you check the 'print to file' box. Your page will be in drive_c/Program Files/GURPS Character Assistant 4/. Normally it goes in your home/PDF/ folder. So, you don't see the Skills bar in the wrong place in Quickview? Which version of wine are you using? PM me if this doesn't work Last edited by tantric; 06-22-2014 at 11:17 PM. |

Re: GURPS Character Assistant under Wine for Linux
As I'm upgrading, how critical is it to use Wine1.3/1.4 instead of the current version? Does it help any to upgrade?

Re: GURPS Character Assistant under Wine for Linux
Read what I said above. It works about the same as always with the latest version, which is about 80% of the functionality of running it on Windows.

We might try copying your .wine folder and seeing if the problem is in my installation. |

What doesn't make sense to me, though, is that the Print/Preview is exactly the same control as the QuickView, which is working for you. If one works, they should both work.

Re: GURPS Character Assistant under Wine for Linux
New computer, new install of GCA under wine. Early version worked fine, ran the update, then crash on "Default set of User files doesn't appear to exist. Creating them."
2 lines above says, "Base Documents Folder = ::{450d8fba-ad25-11d0-98a8-0800361b1103}\GURPS Character Assistant 4\" The crash box reports "Run-time error '76': Path not found" Ironically, the files do exist, salvaged from my old hard drive. The live in the documents directory of my windows partition, and I have it symlinked to be the same in my home partition in linux, and also the same in the user directory of the "c drive" created by wine. How can I tell GCA where to find it? Is there some environment variable it reads to get this {450d8fba-ad25-11d0-98a8-0800361b1103}? Thanks, GEF |

Re: GURPS Character Assistant under Wine for Linux
GCA makes a windows system call to get various folders, including My Documents.
If your GCA.INI file is being created correctly*, you should be able to edit it to reference the right folders in the UserFolders section. Mine looks like this: Code:
[UserFolders] BaseMyDocsFolder=C:\Users\Armin\Documents\GURPS Character Assistant 4\ FolderDataFilesUSER=C:\Users\Armin\Documents\GURPS Character Assistant 4\data files\ FolderDataSets=C:\Users\Armin\Documents\GURPS Character Assistant 4\data sets\ FolderCharacters=C:\Users\Armin\Documents\GURPS Character Assistant 4\characters\ FolderSheets=C:\Users\Armin\Documents\GURPS Character Assistant 4\sheets\
