I will upload the NoCD Patch I used, its for a german version of the game as any others I have used have made the game crash (In windows or wine) Will require VB5 runtime to be installed.
I already tried that patch but it was that who caused the game to crash at first, once applied. Now I can start the game with the original CDs (at least on my desktop machine). I had to edit my /etc/fstab file in order to have all the cd-roms mounted in the same location, so i could map it to a wine drive.
Maybe a codec that makes them playable that I installed without knowing. Intel write the codec and later sold to Ligos Corporation.
I dunno. I tried installing Intel codecs using the winetricks script available here: http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks , but the movies are still skipped. I also tried getting the ivfsrc.ax file from my Windows XP installation
The command I recommend using is as follow:
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine WINEDEBUG=-d3d7,+avifile wine mfatigue.exe
&MFatigueDebug.log
Please upload the files after playing though one of the missions, if possible else just upload it after loading the menu up and closing it.
Done it. Using the +avifile switch I can see it tries to load "J:\tbd\OpeningCinematics.avi" and so on (J: is my CD-ROM drive as it is mapped in winecfg), but i don't understand why it doesn't play a thing. Tried also taking the ivfsrc.ax file from my Windows XP installation, but it didn't work.
Im going to have a good play around with it tonight as I ahve the next few days off work, Alright =P
Perhaps we can come up with a solution before too long. Im going to apply to become the maintainer of Metal Fatigue.
Thank very much for your time
