 Posted: Fri Mar 26, 2004 4:51 am Post subject: Wine Half-Life |
 |
|
Ok i installed wine and halflife (unpatched working on that atm) the game starts up and RUNS! but it errors a couple times on startup, and the resolution gets messed up. It displays correctly, but the window will actually scroll, could be because i have it running at a lower res than the desktop.....
error i get:
| Code: |
could not open MCI file for playback: 266: There is an undetectable
problem in loading the specified device driver
|
This error pops up twice.
Things i've done so far:
emerge nvidia-glx
emerge nvidia-kernel
installed nvidia drivers off of their website
edited XF86Config File
emerge opengl
emerge glx
Any ideas? and yes, i am the uber n00b
[edit]
Tried updating half-life, errors out when it tries to copy the .wad files....ARGH |

instead of trying to install half-life you should be trying to install steam which has half-life and all the other valve games (no need to crack it, it downloads the games for free as long as you have a legit cd key).
first follow this guide on how to install and configure winex :
http://www.linux-gamers.net/modules/wfsection/article.php?articleid=26
then follow this guide to install steam :
http://www.linux-gamers.net/modules/wfsection/article.php?articleid=32
once steam is installed you'll be able to automatically install all the valve games through it without any other configuration.
i just followed those instructions and installed it myself without any problems.

| Steam barely works under windows, much less wine. I'm not up enough the ins and out of wine to know for sure, but I think that's an audio related error you're getting (or maybe a video intro with audio?). But I don't recommend going to steam, you'll probably only make things worse. |

i was trying to run it under wine...i'm gonna switch to winex and see if it works any better
[edit]
ok i installed winex and i get the same error on load up, and it stays at a black screen.... but alteast i got hl updated this time. while it was running in wine it would error out on the .wab files when running hl11110.exe and csv15full.exe ...
i can't remember if i ever loaded up oss or not so i'm gonna try redoing that...anyone know why the blank screen? |
