How to use DashN on Windows without IE?

First download and install the [Compact Version|[ext] http://english.dashn.com/download/dashinter_s.exe] and then download and install the direct version [Direct Version|[ext] http://english.dashn.com/download/InterDirect.exe] of the client. Run the latter. The direct version enables you to connect to DashN without first logging in from the DashN homepage (that seems to be only possible with the IE). However, you first must install the compact version since the direct version of the client requires a DashEngine.dll dynamic library. This library does not come with the download of the Direct Version.

  1. mdh Where does interup.exe come in? Is it a patch for the Direct version since it shares a similar name? (The patch option)

DashN and Kanji

uxs: Excellent... no more IE for me :-) Now... does anyone know how I could get the client to display the kanji-like characters, instead of the weird ascii-signs ? I don't understand Korean or Japanese or whatever, but it would at least look nicer.

minismurf: I get the impression that the chat and names in the "International" version in not transmitted correctly, possibly on purpose. I hope I am wrong on this, but previously, I had success in using a software called MagicWin? to display the chat, but when I tried it last week, it didn't work either. But, please try it and tell me how it works out.

DashN on Linux?

Helger: my experience when trying to use DashN on Linux/wine: after following the above instructions for Dashn on Windows, I get an empty grey page with a several buttons on the right hand side. Some buttons (ranking, buddy, setting, master) work, some others (home, go to clubs home) do not. And then people start challenging me - I can't accept since then I get an OLE error. On the other hand, there seems to be no possibility to get a list of players, a list of games or anything like that so as to challenge somebody else or to observe games. Any help?

Helger
with the latest wine (20040121), I get just an endless loop with the message "fixme:thunk:CommonUnimpStub? generic stub: ?". May be there will be some improvements in a year? If anybody has more success with DashN with any (possibly old) version of wine, please let us know.

I could install in the upper given order alright using Cxover 2.1. Although I have an Internet explorer installed after installing Office 2000. I just lost a game on Dashn, there are no error messages so I assume it works 100%. Cxover uses Wine 20030911.
Helger
CXover is basically wine, no? I installed a demo version of CXover, and got exactly the same results as with the regular wine. Though less error messages in console, I still get exactly the same popup windows with error messages "Interface not supported", "Cannot focus a disabled or invisible window" and "OLE control activation failed". And then empty field with nonworking right-hand icons. Any hints?

I managed to install the dashn client following the above instructions (first the compact version, then the direct version) using the 20040121 snapshot of wine. After instalation, I tried to run IBSEng.exe, but wine entered debug mode after a segmentation fault. I removed some of the system DLLs that are installed in the client home directory and tried to run it again. After showing a few popups with error messages, the client main window appeared with the login window in its center. I logged in, and the client seemed to be running ok. However, I don't know how well it was running, since I don't like dashn very much, and don't know about the client options. For instance, I could not watch a game, but I don't know how to do that with the client, and didn't try very hard anyway. The DLLs that I erased from the client directory were all those with capitalized 'DLL' extension. GDI32.DLL, KERNEL32.DLL, so that the builtin ones from wine would get used.
Helger
Thanks, Geraldo! However, removing DLL-s only made me to stuck at the same place where I was before installing 20040121. I can't observe, I can't challenge anybody (or see a list of players). Players can challenge me but I cannot accept (get an error). Does any of those functions work for you?
Pajaro
I've just tried this. I use wine-20040309. I get a couple of error messages, but I can log in. The screen is gray. Maybe those messages are about the interface? Anyway, I can see my gibo list and user prefs. I can also be challenged and I seem to be able to play. But, as I can't see the game list or player list, I can't challenge or observe.

Random Questions

ilanpi Why do most of the users have ID's of the form "int-x", where "x" is a sequence of digits? Is it because their ID is in Korean text and cannot be interpreted by my system?
