Winebottler and EveHQ, Working, Sort of…
01 year ago
EDIT: This no longer works for me since the last update to Winebottler, and since Winetricks are screwed up with that update as well, I have no possibility of even attempting to reinstall it to try again. Such is life. Post retained for historical archives and what not. (EVEMon doesn’t work, either, because it needs .net 4 now, and that doesn’t work with Wine. EFT is still ok, but why not just use pyfa?)
I love my Mac. I also love EveHQ for tracking my skills, making queues, and creating new fits for ships. As far as running these on Wine on the Mac, the best way, nay the only way (since the more or less demise of GTK-EVEMon) has been to use EVEMon and EFT. They are both wonderful apps in their own right, but I like the all in one approach of EveHQ.
Earlier this week, I saw on the EVE-O forums that someone had managed to get EveHQ running through Winebottler on a Mac. I was elated. I downloaded the install, played with some winetricks, and got it up and running. Everything appeared to be working great:
I could create queues, make fittings, the API information updated properly, I was happy as a bug in a rug. Until today.
Time Is Not On My Side
01 year ago
Like so many things in life, to be able to actually play EVE requires time. I realized that, due to an overwhelming lack of it, I have been doing nothing more that paying to train accounts. While this isn’t necessarily a bad thing, since it keeps my characters ready for my inevitable return, it does mean that I am doing nothing but sinking money into a game that I just do not have the time to put into it.
To that end, I am not saying good bye, so much as Sjáumst.
