Creating mods on linux+wine

.trixX.

Yo! Has anyone managed to use the tools on wine?

ns2.exe and LaunchPad.exe are working, but when I launch Editor/Viewer/Cinematic, it crashes:

Unable to initialize the render device

fixme:system:SetProcessDPIAware stub!

I'm on deb jessie, wine 1.6.2, card is nvidia with latest driver (oct 17). Display settings in wine are left on default.

Any help would be appreciated! :]

For some reason it is not able to locate the render device. I have no idea why, if the game and launchpad can find it without issue, it seems a bit odd. Maybe there is something in there hard coded to a windows API not available in wine? Pure speculation of course.

Should be noted, I run windows.

OK, so I just realised this is the important line:
fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x33f218,0x00000000), stub!

It appears there is a line of code specifically pointing at win device drivers that may not work with wine I guess. It looks like it is known (hence the fixme) but whether it will get done or not, I have no idea.

Thanks for the reply, I guess I'll have to meddle with wine or just setup dual boot
