Re: Space Empires with Wine
Ehh, well, if Lindows dies, it'll be no big loss IMHO. I tried the first Version of their OS, and it drove me nuts. Almost as bad as windows was. You have to purchase a special computer with it preinstalled, or pay money for the operating system itself. And then you have to purchase a subsription to download all the specialy packed packages (Lindows didn't have support for rpm's or the make/gcc compilers to install anything) that make Linux Linux. Probably the only time you'll see me cheering on Micro$oft.
By the way, I'm still open to suggestions for tweaks for wine and/or wineX in running Space Empires.
And by the by, does SE III run any better?

Re: Space Empires with Wine
Cool. It appears that WineX eliminated the two problems I was having with Wine (overflowing text and windows that wouldnt popup), however, two more present themselves, though both I can live with.
1) Occasionly, the icons for the ships go "invisible" so you can't see them, neither when you click on where they are, or when travelling across space. This only happens occasionly, so is no big problem.
2) In my first installation, Wine let me use the patch program to upgrade to the newer Version of se4gold. But now that I'm using WineX, the patch claims that my executable is not patchable.

Re: Space Empires with Wine
Have you tried reinstalling from scratch while running winex?

Re: Space Empires with Wine
Yep. My original post dealt with a fresh install under wine, and my Last post was a fresh install with winex.

Re: Space Empires with Wine
probably WinE is not emulating the windows API functions SEIV is using(correctly or at all, or in the manner SEIV expects), so Id take it up with the WinE people, but they dont know a thing about SEIV I bet
Unless SEIV uses weird function calls to Windows or something... that a Windows emulator would not have at all
