I installed Ubuntu today, so I tried it again. I installed it thru the instructions (apt-get; that works now). I had a problem that appears to be the same as what cyprus described (very long freezes related to loading/playing new sounds), and installing TiMidity fixed it. I didn't have that on Xubuntu though.
DFArc2 looks right in both Xubuntu and Ubuntu and the programs are automatically put in the right place in the main menu for both of them.
Some issues:
- Colours in dinkedit are messed up for me as well.
- freedink says it checked /usr/share/dink twice when it's run without a reference dir
- although when run directly freedink other default reference dirs (e.g. /usr/games/dink) work when run through Dfarc2, freedink claims "invalid refdir" if it's not in /usr/share/dink. Also Dfarc2 doesn't display DMODs in the reference dir if it's not that one (e.g. the main game). Note this is with "override the Dink .. dir.." OFF. (I put /usr/games/dink in there and turned it on as a workaround.)
- default editor in dfarc is "dink" and "download D-Mods" doesn't do anything
- running with debug mode in dfarc gives the error "Dink Smallwood ('freedink') was not found on your computer..."
- additional D-Mods directory in DFArc options is very convenient considering limited/super user stuff so it would be nice if this was a freedink option instead (i.e. so freedink would also look in the additional directory if given -game dmod)
Freedink seems to be a perfect replica. I played bug mania, crosslink demo, a little bit of I Kara Gu and the original game and tested MouseDink and I can't tell any definite difference. A couple of things felt different but they probably weren't (e.g. I thought I could stop the hit animation in MouseDink before it competed by clicking away, but I might have just forgotten how it was).
