orion, don't rush him, installing photoshop takes ages... /mrgreen.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="mrgreen.gif" />

just kidding btw, but i would like to know how you did it, did you replace any dlls with windows ones, or was it a more in depth hack?

I tried it as well today, hardy heron, RC. I replaced compiz with metacity, but it did not help, it crashed when starting the training. I am now trying a different approach... (DirectX 9.0c march 2008)
If it helps, I will post here again.

EDIT: Installing DX 9.0c did not help. I guess wine takes care of the stuff anyway. Was worth a try though. I'd love to see Allegiance run on Linux

1. sudo apt-get install cabextract ...ok
2. With winetricks install fakeie6 ...ok
(I also installed corefonts, could that be a requirement for the window orange headers?)
3. With winetricks install dotnet1 ...finally, ok
4. wget the Alleg setup ...ok
5. wine Allegiance\ Setup.exe ...ok
6. Getting the zip files ...ok
7. Hope in a sarcastic remark when running ASGSClient.exe

repeated at nauseam.

With compiz it displayed a full black screen. Without compiz it displayed pieces of the underlying windows, but failed to paint anything.

Alt+Enter does show the window!

you mean "winetricks install dotnet11" rather than "dotnet1" right?

also, i installed dotnet2 aswell, that was for asgs but it might make a difference. it failed the first time, but the second time it installed right. (install is faster than dotnet11 /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />)

as for allegiance, the bug is that for some reason your linux doesn't think your montitor can support 800x600x32, which is what alleg uses for the menu screen. to fix it you would probably have to add something to your xorg.conf, but only do that if you know what your doing.

if you do do it, just look at the xorg.conf, you should see where it describes resolutions, add another in the same format. (make a backup first!)

It worked after I three-fingered X. I could navigate my way to the training menu and launch the game with a whopping 1 fps (but this graphic card sucks very hard anyway and even its Linux drivers are bugged (stuff with Z order)).

SCREENIES! It did happen /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />

// image didn't load
// feel free to ignore the fps counter /blush.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

" border="0" alt="blush.gif" />
// I'm not cheating /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />

Then Allegiance tried to read NULL. /doh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":doh:" border="0" alt="doh.gif" />

I tried the DX9 version of the allegiance.exe (I am testing it for doofus atm). Using the new client, I was able to get the text in the message boxes and the pictures. Sadly I was unable to go further than with the regular version of Allegiance.

EDIT: btw, you can install .net1.1 by installing IE 6.0 first. /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

madpeople · Post by **madpeople** » Mon Apr 21, 2008 11:34 am

i wonder how far you would get if you did what badp did (or is that what you did?) / if badp used the dx9 client?

his messages seemed to be complaining about something dx7 related...

p.s. have you tried lan games / connecting to the FAZ lobby (no asgs needed i think ?) / your own lobby + server

Please remember that the Wine version of the Ubuntu 7.10 repositories is horribly outdated (I'm using 0.9.60~winehq0~ubuntu~8.04-1ubuntu1)
