Wine Trouble

[BurntAsh]

i installed the newest wine 2003115 and it wont let me run the game half-life. it installed fine but told me i needed to have to run higher than 16bit on the deskmod. so i changed my wine config to say this.

[x11drv]
; Number of colors to allocate from the system palette
"AllocSystemColors" = "100"
; Use a private color map
"PrivateColorMap" = "N"
; Favor correctness over speed in some graphics operations
"PerfectGraphics" = "N"
; Color depth to use on multi-depth screens
"ScreenDepth" = "32"
; Name of X11 display to use
;;"Display" = ":0.0"
; Allow the window manager to manage created windows
"Managed" = "Y"
; Use a desktop window of 640x480 for Wine
"Desktop" = "640x480"

and i dont get an error on startup because when i opened it nothing happens, if i try from console i get.

bash-2.05a$ wine hl.exe
fixme:reg:RegFlushKey (0x6c): stub
fixme:system:ChangeDisplaySettingsA ((nil),0x00000000), stub
flags=
fixme:system:ChangeDisplaySettingsA devmode=NULL (return to default mode)

anyone know the problem?

i had something like that - seems like removing ~.transgaming is what fixed it...

i dont see a .transgaming, i tried to set resolutions for all the color depths in X, and now i get the error from the console...

bash-2.05a$ wine hl.exe
X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
Major opcode of failed request: 1 (X_CreateWindow)
Serial number of failed request: 9
Current serial number in output stream: 16

no ~/.transgaming/c_drive ? i assume you are doing the winex setup.exe

[BurntAsh]

im not using WineX, im using just plain Wine, on slackware 8.1

[pbharris]

ahh - okay, i dunno. sry

ya i get the message

"Half-Life requires 16 bit color. Please change your desktop settings to HiColor. Sometimes this is called "32767 colors" or "65535 colors"

i run at 1280x1024 res with 24bit

and console gets.

bash-2.05a$ wine hl.exe
fixme:reg:RegFlushKey (0x78): stub
fixme:system:ChangeDisplaySettingsA ((nil),0x00000000), stub
flags=
fixme:system:ChangeDisplaySettingsA devmode=NULL (return to default mode)

Good luck on using it with just Wine. WineX will do the job just fine though. ;D

It's worth the $$$. Trust me. Or you can always find someone to give it to you. :P

ya pretty much, the only game ive gotten running with Wine so far is Starcraft

I have gotten half-life to work in software mode with winex. Also got it to work under codeweavers wine ( all the way to the splash screen frooze after that since i dont have a video accelerator ). Try codeweaver if you have a video accelerator this comes with all sort of fancy wine setup tools and what not. Codeweaver
