Installing SC4M files in Ubuntu.

[FooFox 8]

I want to install a custom region I downloaded from the Stex.

It has a .SC4M file, so I need to use either

SC4Terraformer or SC4Mapper 2013 Edition.

Both programs are said not to work on Linux.
SC4Terraformer does seem to start in wine.
It shows a window in which I can navigate directories. Apparently it recognizes the "region" folder in which I have the SC4M file, it then loads and lists all city tiles with 3 options.
2 of them are (protect trees and protect mayor)

SC4Mapper edition 2013 doesn't even load the region folder when I navigate there. It just hangs and I have to force quit the program.

Is there any method so I can do it on Ubuntu. Or is every Linux user completely unable to import custom user made regions?

Both of those programs are written in Python.  Make sure you have the Python run time installed in your wine prefix, and they should run.  I don't think the winetricks script will install this for you, so download the windows version of the Python run-time library and install it manually using the Wine Windows program loader.  You might have to install other windows elements, such as the general program installer via winetricks first.
