Pine's Hero Designer for Mac

[TXG Sync]

It was a little irritating to me that I couldn't work with Pine's Hero Designer on Mac, so I sat down & figured it out tonight. Here are step-by-step instructions for getting Pine's Hero Designer working on macOS Mojave:

 

[*]Install Homebrew.

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

[*]Install wine & winetricks.

brew install wine winetricks

[*]Set up Wine. You might want to add these commands to your .bashrc, .shrc, or .zshrc file in your ${HOME} directory so you don't have to set it every time.

export WINEARCH="win32"

export WINEPREFIX="${HOME}/.wine32"

[*]Set up .Net 4.0. Follow the prompts, it's just the normal Windows installer in which you have to accept the license agreement.

winetricks dotnet40

[*]Assuming you've already downloaded Pine's Hero Designer, extract it into the equivalent of c:\Program Files.

cd ${WINEPREFIX}/drive_c/Program\ Files

unzip ~/Downloads/Hero\ Designer.zip

[*]Run Pine's Hero Designer.

wine ${WINEPREFIX}/drive_c/Program\ Files/Pine\'s\ Hero\ Designer/Hero\ Designer.exe

[*]Turn off "pop-ups", otherwise it gets pretty slow. But it works!
