Well for my upgrades I usually keep these two words in mind: Birthday and Christmas. 😉

And the killer..

The wine config file.. Gotta set it up right.. Created all directories... Just not sure what to edit...

BTW picked up WINETOOLS.. Should be useful later I dunno maybe not.

Did you edit you conf file. If you have a working one send it to me korean_ian@hotmail.com.

I remeber there being a prog to help config it but if I cant find it again eventually I will figure out how to set it up. Direct instructions are faster though 🙂

It's amazing to feel like I have actually done something.

Well unfortunately my isp appears to have switched its smtp servers again, and it might take me a while to figure out whose hosting my email :disgust:. I hate it when companies do stuff like that.

Anyway, I've found winesetuptk to be the best wine setup app around. Its pretty universal so all you have to do is install it.

After you've got it installed just run it by typing winesetuptk in a console window. It automatically generates all of the config files that you need to run wine.

Edit: Nevermind

Got in!

wine /user/.wine/c/Sierra/cstrike.exe

question is... why doesn't it accept winex as command.

Presumebly this is why open gl doesnt work although it could be other reasons. I have the NVIDIA drivers on my system... I poured through the config file looking for something.

Also got a error about the MCI sound device.. I think I saw a workaround for this somwhere.. gotta find it again.

Anyway... making some progress.. More encouraging then my earlier progress!

Counter-Strike has worked reasonably well under vanilla WINE for years. The only problems were a sound lagging problem (with a workaround) and low FPS compared to Windows. FYI:

If the binary you're running is wine, then in all likelihood, you're running the WINE that shipped with the OS, not WineX from CVS.

Honestly, if PC gaming is one of the most important aspects of computing to you, then just go with Windows. If having a well-rounded Linux workstation, with some occasional gaming, is what you're interested in, then WineX can definitely fill the latter capability.

Yes, progress is good 🙂. Oh and the reason that winex isn't interpreted as a command is because, if I'm not mistaken, even in the binaries it is actually a system script file of sorts.

As for me, well in just a few minutes I' m going to try to get something working other than notepad.

The CVS version of winex has always taken the form of a wine executable, which is why it is not recommended that one install both. There is a way to get both running but that takes more work than its work (generally speaking).

Edit: Clicked too fast......

I have winzip and some other apps running beautifully... So I am unsure as to whether or not I am running WINEX or WINE. I was under the impression that WINE was not on my machine whatesoever.

Even still... its an excelent tool.. it still makes me wonder though.

rpm -q wine.. yield

rpm wine is not installed

This is fun though so I like.

I stand corrected. 🙂

Cool. 🙂

Of course being the fiddler that I am I just had to break my install 😀, but that's okay because if I survive my exam tomorrow I'll probably fix things back up.

The WINEX binary would solve my problem eh?

Well thats what I would like to think anyway... Maybe try the process again.. Clear out all my config files start fresh.

It's a learning experience thats for sure 🙂
