Still working on some stuff, like the headless Arch instructions and all of Ubuntu. (I have to do the process on the distro itself just to double check, I know Ubuntu's headless will be very different from Arch's :v)

also taking distro requests in case someone uses a different one than the ones up now.

and i need FAQ questions

Update on Ubuntu:
no

I'm not dealing with an OS that's blind to other stuff on my laptop and can't remember login details I specified during installation.
That goes for both 12.04 and 13.04. Someone else can do it if they want, but haha, not from me.

Debian, probably later on. Mint and elementaryOS as well, but those 2 should be the same.

Can you make a tutorial on how to project sound on BL on Arch Linux on Wine?

This seems to work without any configuration with Linux Mint, Elementary OS, Ubuntu, etc.

But on Arch Linux it won't work :(

"project sound"
Do you mean your sound isn't working?

Yes, on winecfg I make it require the library openal32, because Blockland uses that for sound, but I can't get it to work, and I've tried all options, but I still get no sound.

This is actually really nice

although it's not really hard to do, it provides some good pointers and nice explanations for unexperienced players

You shouldn't need to make it require any libraries, I never had to do that.

Are you using ALSA or PulseAudio?

Alsa.

[TheBlackParrot]

Alsa.

Do you have pulseaudio-alsa installed?
i'm stupid of course you don't

You could try switching to PulseAudio, ALSA may just not be seeing the correct default soundcard. You could figure out how to switch it too.
