Daiel, can you tell me what value works for you for _snd_mixahead? Also, at startup I get and error messages about not being able to open an MCI file for playback. The error messages repeats twice and then HL starts but I get no CD audio. Any idea how to correct this?

Hi,
finally got HL to run at 1024 in opengl. But there are some things
which i'm not happy about:
1) Sound lags about 1 sec after the game, EAX doesn't work.
2) Some fonts don't get found (which messes up the scoreboard).
I'm running Mandrake7.2 with kernel 2.4.2 and XFree 4.0.1 and
nvidia's 0.9.6 drivers. Some things i've found out so far:
Using the nvidia agp driver hangs my system, the kernel agp
driver works fine (Option "NvAgp" "2" in the Screen section
of XF86Config-4). And i recompiled the NVdriver (enabling
SBA and AGP2x in os-registry.c, i also enabled FW but that
doesn't seem to work with my TNT2). I use the 20010112
with the transgaming and winehq diff patches.
Does anyone know how i can get better sound support? Do i have
to tweak HL settings (i tried _snd_mixahead) or can i set up
better sound in wine?
Has anyone a script which copies a win partion to a 'link
partition'? I noticed that the open file dialogue in media
player can't follow directory links so i wanted to set up
a mount point which had the same directory structure as
the win directory and used symlinks for the files. With
this setup it would be easy to replace links you need
write access to with a copy of the original file and keep
the win partition write protected. Something like
find /mnt/windows -type d -exec mkdir -p {} . \;
find /mnt/windows -type f -exec ln -s {} . \;
I'm starting to write such a script myself but if anyone
has a working solution ;-)
Thanks in advance,
Markus

How about, cp -RasP /mnt/windows . I think that should do about what you want. Lawson Big fleas have little fleas upon their backs to bite 'em.

I finally managed to get mine to work, but it was more of a "oh, hey, it works" than anything else. As for EAX, WINE needs special drivers to make use of any EAX that may exist in Linux. I'm unsure if EAX is even supported in Linux (check opensource.creative.com) if it is, then perhaps someone should start working on providing EAX support for WINE.>2) Some fonts don't get found (which messes up the scoreboard). >Wine seems to report the screen width to be 2 wider than it actually is. What you need to do is locate the files "1024_*" and in that directory make a symlink to them with the same name, only 1026 instead of 1024... I may be wrong on the exact number, but you should be able to find the value if you start Half-Life with the -console option (to Half-Life not wine, so "wine hl.exe -- -console") this will put up a console while you're waiting to start up, and you can read the name of the files right off of there.>Has anyone a script which copies a win partion to a 'link >partition'?

WINE already stores .INI's in your ~/.wine directory, so you don't have much to worry about there, but there are other files touched. Anyways the Jargon File might give you some information to help.
