Why I can't launch Civ III from my home directory?

[Neo40]

Hi,

I have installed Civilization III with Cedega 4.3.1. If I go to the directory:
/home/eric/TransGaming_Drive/Program Files/Infogrames Interactive/Civilization III/
and I type "cedega Civilization3.exe" then it works just fine.
But if I'm in my home directory and I type:

cedega ~/TransGaming_Drive/"Program Files"/"Infogrames Interactive"/"Civilization III"/Civilization3.exe

then I see all this things:

Any idea??

Thanks

This is probably due to one of the apps, probably cedega looking in the current working directory for something that is in that subdir.

Hi,

Ok, then how can I add this to my menu in xfce4? Usualy, the command should be this:
cedega ~/TransGaming_Drive/"Program Files"/"Infogrames Interactive"/"Civilization III"/Civilization3.exe

But like I said it won't work. :(

Maybe you could try using Point2Play in combination with Cedega - but I'm still having troubles getting Civ to start myself...

I think you can use a flag likecedega -workdir "/home/YOU/.transgaming/c_drive/Program Files/Valve/Steam" "C:/Program Files/Valve/Steam/Steam.exe"This is how cedega creates shortcuts.

This is a wine thing. Happens the same with cedega, crossover, and wine.

NOTE: change this to whatever program you're trying to start.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply! Are you this is the right command? I tried it but nothing happens except I see a '>'

Hrmm...well I'm not familiar with wine or cedega, but I have run into this problem with LimeWire. It needs to be started from within the LimeWire folder for the program to find all its files. In my case, the startup script was named "LimeWire.sh" so I just added at the top:

cd /absolute/path/to/LimeWire
#Program execution code here

In your case I think if you created a script and did that (cd into the Civilization III directory, then execute the executable using the cedega Civilization3.exe) then just call the script whenever you want to launch. Just remember to give the script executable permission with the command:

chmod +x scriptname

I dont know about Cedega problem but if this Civ III that you mention is Call to Power there's a linux version of this game whih you can download from http://www.torrentreactor.net.
Enjoy!:grin:
