Swine Flu

what is the relevance of an ' m ' in an fp guid ??

Finally got FP working under Ubuntu linux, it still has some bugs for example @check doesnt work and gameplay is a bit laggy (fps is up and down like a yoyo).

I assume you already have wine installed.

1. Find the following dll's and put them in your wine windows/system32 directory.

iphlpapi.dll
mpr.dll
imm32.dll
uxtheme.dll

2. Create symbolic links to wine drv files. Open a terminal an type the following.

ln -s /usr/lib/wine/midimap.dll.so ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/midimap.dll

ln -s /usr/lib/wine/winex11.drv.so ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/winex11.drv

ln -s /usr/lib/wine/msacm32.dll.so ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/msacm32.dll

ln -s /usr/lib/wine/msacm32.drv.so ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/msacm32.drv

ln -s /usr/lib/wine/winealsa.drv.so ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/winealsa.drv

The path /usr/lib/wine is where wine is installed on my Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope 9.04 Installation , your path maybe different depending on your distro.

NOTE : FP wont work from terminal , it just gives throws up an IO exception.
NOTE : ATI users may have problems linking to winex11.drv.so , when i did this with my old Radeon X300 it would crash the Xserver every time.
NOTE : Every time wine updates your GUID will change. I do not know if there is a fix for this yet, nor if there will ever be one.

Hope this helps.

Pce.

I think have FP working under linux and wine,

just getting the illegal module now , if you guys can fix this asap and let me know so i can test if it works in game.

the guid i have been assigned is m9be4 , if that helps.
