Talk:Running Continuum under Wine

Mine GO BOOM 02:40, Dec 21, 2005 (EST): Should we use Wine or wine? Also, PhOng, try using Preview. The less total changes in a row, the easier it is to cover changes without having to do fancy diff comparings.

submission to winehq?

Galeru: Is this patch submitted to wine? If it hasn't been, is there any intention of doing that?

Mine GO BOOM 20:30, Dec 22, 2005 (EST): If this was to be added to Wine, it would need to actually handle the permission flags. As right now, it is just a hack that may cause problems in other applications, but what is required to get Continuum to run.

i88gerbils: oliverthered posted on ssforum.net several months ago. It appears he is "in charge" of directx support for Wine. I sent him an e-mail linking him to this page. "Failed to deliver". Oh well.

Redistributable patched wine + Continuum package

--Bounty Punter 00:48, Jan 30, 2006 (EST) First of all, thank you for solving this problem!

I have made a package that I have tested in both Suse, and Slackware Linux. I works on both, provided that the user has wine already installed and configured with the general information in ~/.wine As Mine GO BOOM stated, the patched version of wine could cause problems in other applications running under wine. Does it, has anyone had any problems?

I am willing to provided limited hosting for the file if there is any interest, and pending any foreseeable legal problems with me doing it. It's rather large, 59.3 MB...

--Bounty Punter 21:44, Feb 1, 2006 (EST)

Anyone willing to try this? I've cut the size down to 24 mb http://www.network3d.net/continuum-wine/

i88gerbils: I don't really use wine for much so I'm cool with tainting my wine compile.

Chat window

I actually found that you can get the chat window to show up if you start Continuum full screen on one desktop, then switch desktops by pressing ctrl + alt + arrow key in Gnome.

Gentoo?

The Continuum-wine package I downloaded seems to point to different locations for some files than mine are in. I was also wondering if the the current version of Wine has your patch in it. Current version at time of posting is 0.9.26

Mine GO BOOM 21:16, Nov 27, 2006 (PST): The developers of Wine don't want to include a hack-patch for one specific game, as no other game has a protection like this. They've mentioned that they would rather wait for adding real support for what the hack protects against (creating a process that doesn't have a specific privilege).

PCLinuxOS

Works on PCLinuxOS 2007!

I had to comment out the 'else' like I read a few others had to (see below). Why not just take the whole top-level directory find check out? It's set directly anyways (topdir=`cd "$HOME/Continuum-wine" && pwd`) right after.

I also had to use the dev version else I got:

[andrewroth@localhost Continuum-wine]$ ./continuum.sh wine: failed to initialize: /usr/local/lib/wine/ntdll.dll.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

But, with the dev version it WORKS which is pretty sweet, now I can play subspace in linux! Thanks!

Wine-0.9.36 and >(?)

Patch works thru version 0.9.37, but screen drawing problems when view full-screen. 0.9.38 will not patch at all. See wiki.

Put up modified patch. P.S., I'm not going to bother with Dirk Gently's non-sense over at the Gentoo page because I quite frankly don't care. --Plareplane 23:56, Jul 30, 2007 (PDT)

I'll take care of its. Thanks Plare. --Dirk.R.Gently 16:40, August 6, 2007 (PDT)
