My system:

Linux Mandrake 9.1
Winex version 3

I managed to get SFC:OP to work under Transgaming's winex. Single player works great, two problems however:

1. No keyboard (am using StarfleetOP.exe to start game.
2. No multiplayer

any suggestions?

How about a trade: 50000+ SETI W/U for a native Linux port

LOL Death Merchant once tried that while asking for a Mac port... and still waiting.

I used stuff posted on the Transgaming and sourceforge site - along with some pure Windows binaries.

Where are your howtos located at?

The W/Us are already there -

maybe Raven can take a vacation for a few months - or better yet - donate some W/U to myself

week total avg. days
432) Raven 3450 71060 431.2
716) Cyberkada 4386 52159 555.9 -151.7

Only 151.7 days to catch Raven at present rate.

Unlike the great (C) MOOHunt, I could never catch Raven.

Forget the Linux Port - How about SFC: GaW?

I prefer to roll my own.

Sometimes linux gurus prefer using cvs and make rather than rpm

FireSoul · « **Reply #8 on:** May 06, 2003, 09:30:42 pm »

Agreed.

BTW, the keyboard DOES work. I don't know why it doesn't on yours..
. of coruse I haven't been to work for a few months now, so I am not familiar with WineX 3. .. maybe try a version 2 of some sort?

hm.. .. did you browse through the CVS tags for a stable version 2? You might have a missing DirectPlay regkey, but I already detailed that data on the site and in an older post in the forums.

As for directplay.. well.. the lack of DPlay4 code in winex (and the lack of demand for it) makes it less prioritive than a lot of recent games.

I wrote the FAQ on the TG site. I am one of their sysadmins, currently on parental leave. I did the initial research about SFC and WineX. I have old screenshots too.

Does anyone still keep FireSoul's FAQ somewhere?
Transgaming had rearranged their website and there's no FAQ or HowTo under EAW or OP now.

Maybe I can extract the information for you. I need to go fiddle in the old GamesDB manually via SQL..... and...

How do I get SFC:OP running? |To make SFC:OP run, there's a few things to do manually:

First, there's a few missing directplay registry entries to add to ~/.transgaming/system.reg

-------------------------------------------------
[Software\\Classes\\CLSID\\{2FE8F810-B2A5-11d0-A787-0000F803ABFC}] 1015888263
@="DirectPlayLobby Object"

[Software\\Classes\\CLSID\\{2FE8F810-B2A5-11d0-A787-0000F803ABFC}\\InprocServer32] 1015888263
@="dplayx.dll"
"ThreadingModel"="Both"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\DirectPlayLobby\CLSID]
@="{2FE8F810-B2A5-11d0-A787-0000F803ABFC}"
-------------------------------------------------

.. also, patching is still a multi-step process. You must download the patch in .exe form first. To run and install:

-------------------------------------------------
winex SFCOPPatch2500-2525.exe
cd "~/TransGaming_Drive/Program Files/Taldren Software Inc/Starfleet Command Orion Pirates"
winex Patch.exe PATCHSFCOP-2500-2525.RTP
-------------------------------------------------

.. next, you may have to use the software mode video driver. Try out the software video driver if that didn't work for you:

-------------------------------------------------
winex SFCOPSetupMFC.exe
-------------------------------------------------

After this, try starting the game using the StarFleetOP.exe executable instead of the default SFCOP.exe.The single player skirmishes and the single player campaign will run fine under winex. Clicking on "Multiplayer" will usually result in a game crash.
