Install wine - counter strike

[spirospr]

I installed wine, configured it and made an installation of counter strike 1.5

Everything to work fine but i have those two problems :

1. I manage to load the game but after passing the menus and finally go into the game nothing happens. It seems like everything is loaded but nothing is displayed in the screen.

2. I have no sound

Any suggestions? I attached the config file of the wine

I have heard about cedega but i don't want to pay. If so i would have stay in windows.....

How did you go about making an installer? Did you just configure Wine or did you write an installer? And, how easy is it to do something like you have just done?

Well it is not very difficult. You install wine and winesetuptk from synaptic , then run wine from terminal and configure it by winesetup. For exmple for installing a game you mount the cd and then give the command "wine d:\setup" It will be installed in your fake windows folders. Then you run it doing the same "wine /?????/????" Where questionmarks the path for the folder where the windows executable file is.

There is some documentation, if you search, for more details....

So with a little configuring you can run alot of Windows games on Linux useing Wine?

What is commandline to mount cd?

I can see the contents of the cd in nautilus, but couldn't install.

You don't have to do it by commnd line. Just right click on the icon of your cd-rom and select mount. After you will have to run the installation file with wine. For exmple this could be :

wine d:\setup

Normally this shoud work.

Thanks for the info.

I'm just curious as to why I need to mount the cdrom, for the game, when I browse the cd from nautilus and it works. Doesn't that mean the cdrom is mounted correctly?

Well it think that the instruction about mounting the cd rom is just to be sure that it is loaded. Ofcourse if you can browse the cd-rom , it is mounted.

I tried to load some games to play with wine in Ubuntu but nothing. So i think i will settle down to windows when it comes to gaming.

Does enyone have a good site for cs source maps?

wine isnt really made for gaming
you would want to try out cedega [winex] which is wine but has 3d support
i can run my steam / cs:s / cs1.6 nicely on cedega under ubuntu

You are right. After some searching around i came to the conclusion that i will need cedega if i want to play games on linux. But here is my thinking:

1.Why should i pay for software that simulates (even if it doesn't as most say , i think that this is how it works) windows services so that i can play games on linux?

2. The main reason i turned to linux is the idea of a community where everything is shared to achieve a goal

3.If i had to pay i would stick to windows where everything is simpler

I think that dual booting will be the option for me until i get tired.

I know that my thinking is not very suitable for a linux forum and might provoke some. But this how it works for me.
