I've been dying to play Planescape: Torment and it's finally come to Linux (albeit under the guise of Wine). This pre-setup version works better than me installing it via Wine myself, so following the existing Linux mod guide has led me to a problem.
It starts with me trying to install the Widescreen Mod. I've tried both the Windows version (as is done in the Linux mod guide) as the Linux version, and both give me the same errors:
"ERROR: BIFF [./AR0100.BIF] cannot be loaded: Unix.Unix_error(20, "stat", "./ar0100.bif")
ERROR locating resource for 'COPY'
Resource [AR0100.WED] not found in KEY file:
[./chitin.key]

You need to perform a full install of your game and make sure that the .ini points to the correct paths.

I have the game in ~/data/pst/prefix/drive_c/GOG Games/Planescape Torment/, and I've adjusted my linux.ini accordingly, even adding quotation marks and/or backslashes to no avail. Going on the succes I have with installing the Windows version in Wine, I don't suppose it's due to game being incomplete, which leaves the option that I'm wrongly editing my linux.ini.
If anyone can help me get this plan on the way, not only I but other clueless users will be helped out, and we will all be able to party like it's a 1999/2000-themed party in 2014 running on a Linux machine.
