Setting up and connecting to M16 under Linux using Wine

For those of you using Linux, I am happy to say that it is possible to play on M16 servers. This post is a step-by-step guide that hopefully helps you out.
 

Runner used: wine 9.0 (stable)

1. Winetricks (if you have this already, skip to step 2)

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks
chmod +x winetricks

2. Setup Prefix

Use winetricks from earlier to create a prefix, if your winetricks file is elsewhere, just change the path below:
WINEPREFIX=~/Games/m16prefix ./winetricks -q corefonts dxvk dotnet48

3. Extract Files and Run

Obtain JNLoader.zip and 1.28.zip and extract their contents inside a folder
mkdir ~/Games/wc3 && unzip ~/Downloads/JNLoader.zip -d ~/Games/wc3 && unzip ~/Downloads/1.28.zip -d ~/Games/wc3
Run the game
WINEPREFIX=~/Games/m16prefix wine ~/Games/wc3/JNLoader.exe

Troubleshooting
In my experience, none of the staging builds work.
If you are unable to connect to any games, Go back to Settings and change the port from 6112 -> 1024
