wine users - Aug 2011 - WINE + TrackManiaNations4Ever on OsX 10.7 (Lion)

Hi all,

I am completely new to OS X and Wine, so I might ask a very stupid question now.
If so, please forgive me; I searched the Forum, WineHQ and Google and couldnt
find an answer to my problem.

I would like to run TrackManiaNations4Ever on my Mac (Os X 10.7 Lion), and i
downloaded the program from
http://www.gamefront.com/files/10013754


I have MacPorts and Wine installed, and i was successful in installing the
program. I can also start the program, which then opens a window where I can
change some configuration settings. Leaving the settings to the defaults, when i
click "Play", the terminal responds the following and then exits:


LaptopName:~ username$ /opt/local/bin/wine
~/.wine/drive_c/Programme/TmNationsForever/TmForeverLauncher.exe
fixme:d3d_caps:init_driver_info Unhandled vendor 8086.

Anyone an idea how to go about this? 

Thank you in advance for your feedback!

Try running it from the command line like so:

cd $HOME/.wine/drive_c/Programme/TmNationsForever
wine TmForeverLauncher.exe

This should work better.

Also, this program does have an entry in the Applications Database at:

http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=7064

You might want to look at that page for more information.

Thank you James, now it works like a charm. I saw the entry of the program in
the Application Database, but I could not really use the information to make my
installation work.

Best,
Testifix

only one quick followup question:

I originally wanted to launch the program through an applescript:

tell application "Terminal"
	do script "/opt/local/bin/wine
~/.wine/drive_c/Programme/TmNationsForever/TmForeverLauncher.exe"
end tell

with the result that it didnt work (the program started, but did not work
properly, probably because of the wrong WorkingDir?)

Manual solution would be to provide a terminal window with this:
cd $HOME/.wine/drive_c/Programme/TmNationsForever 
wine TmForeverLauncher.exe 

Is there a way to do this through applescript?


Thanks in advance!
Best,
testifix

Just tested it, didnt work: "Command not Found". Altered as follows,
however, it works (without opening a terminal window):


Code:
do shell script "cd $HOME/.wine/drive_c/Programme/TmNationsForever;
/opt/local/bin/wine TmForeverLauncher.exe"

yeah... depends how your default path is set up... thats a better way to do it
to make sure there are no problems.

I have a AppleScript in the Mac OS X FAQ that you can use with normal Script
Editor to make custom app launchers for normal Wine usage.
