Posted: Thu Jul 04, 2002 12:11 pm Post subject: Warcraft III with WineX |
|
|
Hey everybody. So far wc3 runs great with the latest CVS build of WineX. However I've had to rely on the pre-quartz code when I do a CVS checkout and had to rename my Movies directory.
Now the game runs great and all but I was wondering if anyone knew if it's possbile to get the movies working, and if not will there be any hopes in getting them working in the near future? |

Ya, wc3 is a pleasant surprise, indeed. I haven't managed to get the movies running yet, either, but I am too happy with the way it plays to complain.
Does anyone else have the problem with lack of option to start a campaign? I just get the screen with choice of difficulty level and the back button. I have seen some mention of it, but no definite solution. |

If you have the subscribed version..2.01 Copy MSVCRT*.dll and regsvr32.exe from some Windoze installation into your ~/TransGaming_Drive/windows directory, once the game is installed (remember not to install direct x),go to the dir you installed it to mv Movies bak.movies ,you should just be able to winex War3.exe
dont think I missed anything............
Cheers

Hi,
I followed your steps from 1 to 3, but I'm not sure where exactly I need to put MSVCRT*.dll and regsvr32.exe files?
When I type this: wine --winver win2k ./install.exe, I get an error saying:
wine: error while loading shared libraries: libntdll.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Any idea?
Thanks. |

@Saturn
ur config seems to be broken.. copy the msvcrt*.dll in your faked windows dir (e.g. /usr/wine/fake_windows/Windows)
also check your config for:
[DllOverrides]
; default for all other dlls
"*" = "builtin, native, so"
"msvcrt" = "native, builtin, so"
this should work

Yes, I can play multiplayer fine, but the single player campaigns are screwed up for me too. I believe it is a registry problem. Look at the save game directory and you'll see the values are tabbed way over to the right and the "magic" number seems off if you compare to an identical Winblows installation. I believe it is a Blizzard hack to prevent people from mucking around with the save games... I'm scanning through the Windows registry now to see if there is something there that is missing in my wine registry. |

Hello, its me again!
Ok, so I created the directory /usr/winex-cvs/fake_windows/Windows and copied msvcrt*.dll. Pardon me for my ignorance, but how does wine know it has to check that directory? Is there a config file I have to setup?
Also, you said I should check this config:
[DllOverrides]
; default for all other dlls
"*" = "builtin, native, so"
"msvcrt" = "native, builtin, so"
where is this file?
Thanks again for your help. |

Hi Saturn
Hey are you using the bin's or cvs version as if your using the bin's it will automagically create ~user~/Transgaming/windows/ and the same goes for cvs it should have already created a fake windows directory when you installed it , so it might pay to poke around the dir's and see if you can find it ,The cvs install should have asked you where you wanted the fake dir created , usually /c/windows ,
Cheers

I'm using the cvs version. It never asked me about creation the fake directory! To make sure, I re-installed it a second time like this:
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.winex.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/winex login
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.winex.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/winex -z 3 co -r quartz-pre-removal wine
mv wine winex-cvs
cd winex-cvs
./configure --prefix=/usr/wine --with-x --disable-trace --enable-opengl --disable-debug
make depend && make
su -
cd ~nix/winex-cvs
make install
cd /usr
mv wine winex-cvs
ln -s winex-cvs wine
cat /etc/ld.so.conf | grep /usr/wine/lib || echo '/usr/wine/lib' >> /etc/ld.so.conf
ldconfig
exit
As you see, I did what you show us in your post about installation.
At this step, is there a command I have to run so it will create that fake dir?
Thanks |

tools/wineinstall from the install dir, dunno if that regenerates a default config, so you may wanna pick it apart and do the create dir and generate registery stuff manualy. |

Well, my instincts were correct, the single player campaigns need the registry settings that you would find in Windows. I am at work now, but will put together a .reg file that you can import by running regedit.exe (from a winblows distrib). Also ensure that your privileges in the /winedrv/Program Files/Warcraft III/save are: 1) chmod 777 and 2) chown you.yourgroup. I found it easier to copy my saved games over from Windoze and Load a game. After quitting the saved game, the single player campaign menus are there.
Has anyone had any luck getting the suspiciously-Quake3-looking pointer back to the Warcraft III mouse pointers? It's a real pain in the butt, because the crosshairs are not the target for the click, it's actually the upper left hand corner of the crosshairs which can make it visually difficult to play... |

Simple fix for dll's.., you should be dropping all of those files into your /winedrv/windows/system directory. |

mmm as neuron said give it a go by running ./tools/wineinstall from the dir you saved the cvs ver to.
As you will see I grabbed the cvs instructions from the transgaming forum and hadnt actually tried it yet as I already had the bin version installed , but I have previously installed the cvs version using the wineinstall cmd. and it worked sweet as so it could be worth giving that a go, let us know if you have any furthur troubles with that
Has anyone else noticed jerky gameplay while running with gentoo-sources kernel???, I since compiled a vanilla kernel and it runs sweet as now , any ideas as to what would be causing this...??

preemtive patch possibly? I haven't really tried another kernel's performance in comparison in gaming. And installing without wineinstall works great if you don't need the registery setup and such. |

Finally, I configured winex correctly and Warcraft III is installed!
Swishy, how did you edit your XF86Config to be able to switch in 800x600x24 ?
-->9. Start an X server in 800x600x24. I use
xinit -- /usr/X11R6/bin/X :1 -screen WarcraftIII
Could you post your a part of your screen section?
Thanks! |

I have made a screen section named WarcraftIII but when i use xinit -- /usr/X11R6/bin/X :1 -screen WarcraftIII i get:
Xlib: connection to ":1.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified
then X starts but no xterm. and the error keeps flooding in the main console |

The easist way would be to try running it within an existing x session first as it ran fine on top of kde / enlightenment , I don't think you really get much of performance boost by running in it's own session , but I can post my config,once I get my current install finished (broke my 1.1 install due to my own stupidity so started from scratch with 1.2 )just make sure you have 800x600 in your current XF86Config...it should be sweet as. _________________ Theres no substitute for C.I. |

Cheers Neuron , I thought that to ,but I recompiled without it and it still wasn't happy ,it dosnt want to work with either low lantency or preemptive patches applied.....it works fine with the stock vanilla kernel , but I like the reponse of the low latency patch, I 'm thinking it could be something to do with the patch and Matrox drivers....

I ran it under the Winex bin and single player works fine straight up , it seems a bit wierd the winex bin and cvs would differ in the registry area??

Folks -- please do not discuss cracked software on these forums. Blizzard already has a bug up their ass about rogue bnet servers -- we don't want to be on their shit list should they decided to crack down on sites discussing how to remove/bypass their copy protection.
I don't care if that's the only way to get W3 working on linux. That's not a good excuse.
Locking this thread and deleting offending posts.
