Hello wine developers, I'm trying to get Warcraft 3 working on a redhat 9 system. Regardless of what I try, I am unable to make it work. I'd like to help the developers in whatever way I can. I'm not asking for help so that I can play games, I'm trying to give information to people who can use it. If this kind of information is not needed/wanted/required, please delete this message.
Some information: I have tried Wine/Winex RPMs with no success, if you want error messages from them let me know and I will provide. I'm not a linux newbie, but I'm affraid to say that I am a wine newbie. I was given warcraft3 as a gift by someone less then litterate with computers so I'd figure I'd try to get it working on my naitive os.
Kernel: 2.4.20-8 #1 Thu Mar 13 17:18:24 EST 2003 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux (Rh9 default)

I also tried with redhat 9's original version of glibc (2.3.2-11.9)

Followed nvidia's setup instructions closely:

I'm running a Twinview desktop, but I have tried disabling it and going with single monitor as well. neither works.
Wine's "config" program generated with : winesetuptk (tried winetools as well) Winetools ran into the no startup menu bug, which was fixed from searching the archives.
I leave the config pretty much standard other then: [DllOverrides] "*" = "native, builtin, so" ;; (this was builtin, naitive, so)
[Version] "Windows" = "win98" ;; needed for warcraft 3 install to work.
If the config is needed in its entirety let me know and I will post it.
I found some old instructions on how to make warcraft3 work, and it involved copying msvc*.dll from a windows 98 machine into /windows/system , as well as regsrv32.exe .
I tried the install (wine /mnt/cdrom/install.exe) and got: fixme:msvcrt:_XcptFilter (-1073741819,0x406508f4)semi-stub wine: Unhandled exception, starting debugger...
The old instructions: http://www.transgaming.com/showthread.php?msg=11638&forum=6&thread=1...
So I copied the aforementioned win98 files over, and the install worked fine.
I read several things on the forums here and the transgaming forums (I've been trying winex cvs as well)
The instructions I have said to update to the 1.05 patch to make it work, as well as to rename the Movies folder to something else so it wouldn't load the movies. I tried with and without renaming the movies dir. The Patch install works, but blanks fullscreen to black and I have to kill the wine process with ctrl-alt-f1.
However if I setup [x11drv] "Desktop" = "Y"
the patches install smoothly and I can see the selection. Of course I remove the Desktop=Y after the patches are run.
When I run Warcraft 3 the first time: wine war3.exe or wine war3.exe -- war3.exe -opengl -nosplash or load wineserver first, or wineserver -d
I get: err:module:import_dll No implementation for imm32.dll.ImmAssociateContextEx imported from C:\wc3\war3.exe, setting to 0xdeadbeef fixme:ole:MSFT_DoTypeInfo Assign constructor/destructor memid err:aspi:SCSI_GetProcinfo Could not open /proc/scsi/scsi
The 2nd time I run the same thing I get: err:module:import_dll No implementation for imm32.dll.ImmAssociateContextEx imported from C:\wc3\war3.exe, setting to 0xdeadbeef fixme:ole:MSFT_DoTypeInfo Assign constructor/destructor memid err:aspi:SCSI_GetProcinfo Could not open /proc/scsi/scsi fixme:file:SetFileAttributesW (L"C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SIntf16.dll"):100 attribute(s) not implemented. fixme:file:SetFileAttributesW (L"C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SIntf32.dll"):100 attribute(s) not implemented. fixme:file:SetFileAttributesW (L"C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SIntfNT.dll"):100 attribute(s) not implemented.
If I remove /windows/system/SI*, it reverts to the output of the first time.
I have also tried running wineserver first, and watching for usefull data in a wineserver -d, but I was unable to see anything that was obvious (tho I am not an expert)
I thought perhaps I could use a windows 98 version of imm32.dll so I copied that over as well, which changes the output to just:
fixme:ole:MSFT_DoTypeInfo Assign constructor/destructor memid err:aspi:SCSI_GetProcinfo Could not open /proc/scsi/scsi
or with the same SI~.dlls the 2nd time.
So i tried copying OLE*.* from a windows 98 copy and now get: fixme:win32:SetCriticalSectionSpinCount critsection=0x653cf7a0: spincount=1000 not supported fixme:win32:SetCriticalSectionSpinCount critsection=0x653cf810: spincount=1000 not supported err:aspi:SCSI_GetProcinfo Could not open /proc/scsi/scsi
I have been playing with different options and whatnot all day, and have yet to find one that works. I would be happy to provide any additional information that is required, and I'm quite comfortable installing patches to try things out.
ttyl.
