Wine + T3D 1.1 on OS X

#1 Any insight on this?

#2 T3D on Linux with Wine

#3 Alfio, thanks for the response. Unfortunately I haven't had similar success in on OS X. Torque 3D is producing the dialog box indicating the initial call to LoadLibraryA is failing.

#4 U must overwrite the wine DX files with the miscrosoft distributable.

#5 I used winetricks to install it!

#6 No. U must use the usual Microsoft Web Installer.

#7 Winetricks downloads and runs that, unless I'm missing something. I clicked through the installation dialog with Microsoft stamped all over it.

#8 Hmm, I've still had no luck. This is quite frustrating.

#9 ever get this working Thomas?

#10 Nope. But give it a shot and see if you can figure it out anyway. I'm by no means a WINE expert.

#11 how far did you get? The installer crashes for me.. and i'm thinking it might have something to do with the fact that I can't get winetricks to install dotnet30 or dotnet35..

I don't know for sure that dotnet is even needed to run t3d though so I'm thinking maybe if I just copy over a windows installed version of t3d and run it maybe I'll have some luck...

#12 I haven't even been trying to get the development environment to run under OS X, just the game client itself.

#13 OK I got it working. I installed a bunch of different wine tricks until DX installer would go all the way through.. I downloaded the installer from here: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=6812

once that is successful you have to copy an exploded version of t3d or your game to your mac. As in install it on windows and copy the whole directory over to your mac. The t3d installer will not run.

Then just wine "Torque 1.2.exe"

Everything works OK except that it crashes for various reasons and I'm not sure all of the reasons. I know you can't resize it too much. I can get it resized a little bit but at some point it's "out of bounds" and just crashes..

also you have to switch the audio in the t3d game options to xaudio instead of direct sound.

the hot keys don't work either.. though I have not looked too heavily into fixing that.

Other than that it runs pretty smoothly. Better than in parallels anyway.

#14 Do you know which winetricks and which version of Wine?

#15 Not right off hand, but I just used port to install it. "sudo port install winetricks"

When i get home I can check the exact version though.

#16 awesome!

#17 brandon$ winetricks --version
20111115

the winetricks website says 20110311 was a major release.. so i guess I have an unstable build. It's just what port installed though. Should be the same thing that installs for you if you use port to install it

#18 Thanks for the info =)
