Thankyou for Apologising HAARP

I assumed he just mixed his metaphors and meant "flying in the face of" which is not an insult. It just means being contrary to.

As soon as there is a native linux version, I will install it. I'd rather not use Wine. But as Wine lets me use the last application that was tying me to Windows under Linux, I'm pretty psyched. I now have a 100% open source computing environment at my house (except for a few video codecs) and running Spring under Wine was what let me do that.

Note that if you pass a DOS path to wine (eg. wine "C:\Program Files\TASpring\TASclient.exe") then wine will run it from the directory that the executable resides in. This is how I launch TASclient.

The lazy man's script:

Create a new file in a text editor

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash     
cd Path to TASpring/ && wine "TASClient.exe"
Save the file then run chmod 777 on the file, i do that by habbit chmod 777 seems to worth although im not sure how its different from 775

Hello,

I managed to get the native version working, but I want to try the Win version for the multiplayer mode.

TASClient runs well, but when I launch the game, I see "could not set video mode" (I tried with virtual desktop or not, with full screen or not, and with all resolutions from 640x480 to 1280x1024)

I'm using Wine 0.9.20 with TASpring 073b1 on Mandriva 2007 (with Nvidia proprietary drivers 0.8774)

Any idea ?

Thanks !

In console are you going into the directory of the TASClient.exe before running

Code: Select all

wine TASClient.exe
?

If so then check that you card has direct rendering: type in console

Code: Select all

glxinfo
somewhere in the output you should see: direct rendering: Yes
