My Desktop
Oh, I forgot to say that I've had less troubles with BYOND ever since I went through the guide again on the BYOND Linux guild, but on to other news..
I've been playing with scripts now. I'm too lazy to type wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/BYOND/bin/byond.exe when I want to start on BYOND. So after doing it a hundred times I thought: Hey what if I set it to a script on the desktop...
And so I did. I created a empty file and named it to BYOND.exe With a text editor I put in:
#! /bin/sh -f
wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/BYOND/bin/byond.exe
Saved, then I right clicked the new file, went to properties then permissions and checked the ''Allow executing as program'' check box.
Additionally: I googled the byond images for the BYOND man to use it as the icon.
Once finished I can double click BYOND.EXE and select run. :) http://members.byond.com/Texter/files/byondbomb.png

#7 Texter:
That is where I thought it would be, I recall seeing it there once before but it has since gone missing. Perhaps I should do a wine reinstall when I start putting on more windows applications

I have tried that before actually, however it says:
Cannot open /home/jacob/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/BYOND/bin/byond.exe: No application suitable for automatic installation is available for handling this kind of file.
So I had make a script for it. :( Also, if I do run and not run in terminal it can run without the terminal.

It's a trap!
Yeah, WINE should set itself up to associate with files, so you should be able to make a shortcut to BYOND.EXE on your desktop and it should be able to resolve that it's a WINE file all by itself. Also, you can create shortcuts and put that command in, but I'm not sure how to do it in Gnome, as I'm a KDE man myself.

You do know with wine you can just double click byond.exe in the bin directory :D this way no terminal popup :D.
