I started working on getting Red Alert working a few days ago, however I need some testers, because I get it to install correctly, but when I try to play my mouse doesn't move at all, I need to see if others are having this same issue. The script is posted below.

Hello kornklown,
I started a script for Red Alert, and I saw yours.
I have no cd drive on my machine, so I want to install the ISO images provided by EA.
Your script does not work with disk images mounted, but I think it can be fixed... :)
When it's a virtual disk, you must delete the symlink 'd ::' and recreates by linking it to the iso image.
[code language=playonlinux ] POL_Debug_Message "changing d\\:\\: to DISK_IMAGE path" rm -f $WINEPREFIX/dosdevices/d\\:\\: ln -s $DISK_IMAGE $WINEPREFIX/dosdevices/d\\:\\: [/code]
Then we have to go disk 'd:' and run the setup.exe [code language=playonlinux] cd $WINEPREFIX/dosdevices/d\\: POL_Wine_WaitBefore "$TITLE" POL_Wine "SETUP.EXE" POL_Wine_WaitExit "$TITLE" [/code]I hope my English is understandableedit:Also, use POL_Wine "SETUP.EXE" instead of POL_Wine start /unix Ändrat av p_tony

I know, the problem with this though, is I've tried installing by mounting the ISO image, and it's not working (at least for me), and if I can't successfully test it I can't have it in my script. But I can give it another shot, maybe I was missing something, but unfortunately it'll be a little while before I can, I'm really busy right now with some other projects (I'm constantly juggling volunteer projects), once I get some head way on a web site I'm creating, I'll play with Red Alert some more. (One of the main reasons I halted on this one for a while is because I get stuck in the game with the mouse not moving, and I can't figure out how to fix it).

I believe there is something about that on the winehq page.

Yeah, I already knew about that, I tried that but couldn't get it to work, however I was using Mounty, and I haven't had the chance to try using the sudo mount command to mount first, I've been super busy lately with some other projects I've been working on, I'm going to try to get back to this as soon as I can.

HI, Kornklown, did you try with different versions of wine? not only for playing RA but also to install it. Also take a look at the ddraw.ini file in /drive_c/WESTWOOD/ RedAlert/ There's different settings for the mouse: ; automatic mouse sensitivity scaling adjmouse=false ; manual sensitivity scaling, 0 = disabled, 0.5 = half, 1.0 = normal sensitivity=0.0 ; enable C&C/RA mouse hack mhack=trueand also the size of the window, the display 16, 24 or 32 bits (this is much better than the default 8 bits;)), the rendering engine (oepngl, gdi), and filters Personnaly, I use wine 1.5.4, but since yesterday I have a problem with and my pc freeze each time i run RA. I don't know if it's because I'have switched to the free radeon driver. I need to do more tests Oh and finally I have another computer to test with cd player... this is this one who freezes

I've tried all kinds of versions of wine, to no avail, and I've played with a lot of the settings in ddraw.ini
If I can get it working more I'll test out the different bits though

sorry, nothing to do with the topic. I'm doing something wrong, when trying to find the bbcode for font-size... Ändrat av p_tony
