[Eg4l-ehl-users] EHL

[J S. J. <lis...@sa...>]

wow, this is EXCELLENT. Thanks a ton for your work!

now if _it_ only worked..

I am using Half-life 1.1.0.4 and Cstrike 7.1

I have them in /usr/local/share/games/sierra (that's where the valve
stuff is at, cstrike directory, etc. there is no Half-life sub
directory)

I copied my wine.conf out of /usr/local/etc/wine.conf and put it in
/etc

here is what I get when starting ehl

Here is my wine.conf, not sure if I should have something about drive
X in there or not

;;
;; MS-DOS drives configuration
;;
;; Each section has the following format:
;; [Drive X]
;; Path=xxx       (Unix path for drive root)
;; Type=xxx       (supported types are 'floppy', 'hd', 'cdrom' and 'network')
;; Label=xxx      (drive label, at most 11 characters)
;; Serial=xxx     (serial number, 8 characters hexadecimal number)
;; Filesystem=xxx (supported types are 'msdos'/'dos'/'fat', 'win95'/'vfat', 'unix')
;;   This is the FS Wine is supposed to emulate on a certain
;;   directory structure.
;;   Recommended:
;;   - "win95" for ext2fs, VFAT and FAT32
;;   - "msdos" for FAT16 (ugly, upgrading to VFAT driver strongly recommended)
;;   DON'T use "unix" unless you intend to port programs using Winelib !
;; Device=/dev/xx (only if you want to allow raw device access)
