similar to: Red alert 2 network play

Background: Red Alert / Red Alert II / C&C / Tiberium Sun uses IPX for LAN play. According to AppDB, this works, at least for Red Alert II (Orginal RA is not on the first page of Google results...), but it requires Wine to be run as root. Since I do not have IPX installed and I'm not normally in a mood to recompile my kernel, and the Windows users that I want to play against do want to

Hello, I have installed C&C: Red Alert 2 in Ubuntu. Now I want to play in a network. I have already put the wsock32.dll [1] into the game directory and have set up an overwrite rule for wsock32 in winecfg. It should replace the IPX protocol with UDP protocol. Now there is a network card shown in the settings [2] and the network menu opens ingame now. I have set up Red Alert 2 on different

RA2:YR is a 2D game - I think it probably uses DirectDraw. It runs slower with 0.9.16 and now the in game cursor flickers. Besides minor audio problems it ran fine in 0.9.15. I tried setting HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D\DirectDrawRenderer to "gdi". It made no difference. Is that the corrent way to turn off the new DirectDraw changes?

I've just tried to launch RA2 using wine, with great success: it ran perfectly and fast at the first try. However, the mouse is screwing around. If I run as root, everything works fine, but the mouse pointer is invisible. I can move it around and control the game blindly, but that isn't really fun. If I run as a user, the mouse pointer is there, but RA2 doesn't recognize the mouse

Using posix file capabilties you can give wine only root permissions for creating raw sockets. A lot of distributions are doing something similar these days for ping which also required complete root permissions before.

When I worked on Wine's ipx code for Red Alert and friends posix file capabilities weren't around yet. I haven't used them yet. You can find info about it on http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-posixcap.html I think that you need to set the property on wineserver.

You can try this, or check multiple solutions on the bug report URL I posted here. Lan play seems to be different from online play and you might have luck. With hamachi, however, no matter what I do it'll always fail.

Code: 1. First establish a VPN. I use a bridged VPN set up with OpenVPN. It works fine. The VPN client created a tap0 interface with the IP 11.0.0.3. 2. Re-route packets for 255.255.255.255 to your VPN interface (Here tap0) # route add host 255.255.255.255 dev tap0 3. In /etc/hosts, remove any reference to your hostname (TACHIBANA here) and, on the first line, add : 11.0.0.3 TACHIBANA 4. Compile

Hi all, I am currently attempting to play Red Alert 2 on my Ubuntu 11.10 installation under Wine. Now, Red Alert 2 will launch fine, as expected on a Windows machine. The most minor error is the campaign selection screen where it takes an "alt-tab" to respond. I'm not so worried about this error. However, when I enter a single player game (Skirmish or Campaign), whenever the game

Hello to all I've been playing Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3 (LEGAL version of the game) with wine and it has been working very well. However, I decided to try and play LAN (linux-to-linux) and did not manage to do it. There was a time where I could see my name twice on the list (should see once) plus my other pc's name. So this meant that: PC A Sees PC A TWICE and PC B ONCE PC B

Hey all. I'm looking for some advice on how best to continue troubleshooting an app. I'm running FC3 with Wine 20041201 and I set up the config using Winetool. I've got a bunch of apps running with no problems, including IE6 and Office 2000. However, I'm having a lot of trouble with one particular app, which I really need; the RSA ACE Server 5.2 Remote Admin console.

Could be feasible to use opus in real-time applications like multitrack recording (mobile recording and multi tracks) and music samplers (sample libraries), ideally reducing data size into a fraction while having the good level of quality and latency. And possibly open new opportunities in the web and mobile music making? Same thing used in the game development for sound effects, at the moment

Well, I found a solution and posted it on the appdb's page of Red Alert 3. http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=14371 Here's a copy of the informations I posted on the Red Alert's Appdb webpage : > Thanks to raphael, here's a mini "how to play on LAN to RA3 with Wine + windows users, when the LAN is a VPN" > > My hostname, in

Hi, I very new to wine and do not have much knowledge. Sorry for that, but I'm trying to spend more time on wine. I want to run the Checkpoint FW-1 for NG Policy Editor under Linux. So I thought, maybi it's possible with wine to do so. I downloaded the wine-20011106-1.i386.rpm and the wine-devel-20011106-1.i386.rpm on my RedHat 7.1 System and installed it. I'm using the standard

Hi, everyone! Can someone tell me why after configuring our Win95 clients as Samba clients (using tcp/ip and Microsoft Network) all browsers as well as ftp complain that there is no socket connection or that wsock32.dll is not available? Samba as well as email works fine and I did not have this problem with Win98 clients. The clients I am talking about use older versions of Win95. Earlier
