Call of Duty.
 

Anyone know if the Call of Duty Client works on Linux ?

I have it working here on Debian Unstable, vanilla Wine 20040615, CoD 1.4. I installed it using the installer from http://liflg.sourceforge.net/ and patched it the same way. Punkbuster works fine, and the only problem I've noticed is that when you have a teammate under the reticle, it doesn't show their name. Otherwise it's flawless.

Take note, Call of Duty requires that you either have dmixing in ALSA or support for hardware mixing at the soundcard level.

Thanks.

CoD works for me too
 

I also have Call of Duty working.
I'm running Fedora Core 2 with wine-20040716 (vanilla). I'm impressed with how well it runs - it is as seamless as running it in windows.
I also installed it through the loki installer.

What do I need to get cod working? Just get wine and run it using that?

Ok, well I don't really know what I'm doing, I got a tgz package of wine-20040716. I just ran installpkg I'm not sure if I'm supposed to do anything else, like I said I got no idea what to do. I then used the installer and installed cod fine. And I tried to run it and I get this:


bash-2.05b# wine CoDSP.exe
err:module:load_builtin_dll failed to load .so lib for builtin L"DDRAW.dll": libXxf86dga.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
err:module:import_dll Loading library DDRAW.dll (which is needed by L"Z:\\usr\\local\\games\\cod\\CoDSP.exe") failed (error c000007a).
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"Z:\\usr\\local\\games\\cod\\CoDSP.exe" failed, status c0000135

Wine should be able to find the dlls it needs, unless the package wasn't installed properly. Try decompressing the Wine package again, then going to the tools directory. In that is a script called wineinstall that automates the installation for you, asking only a few questions along the way :D.

I think it didn't work because I installed the packages for slack 10, and I have slack 9.1. I tried to compile it and after running ./configure I run make dep, and I get this

make: *** [Makefile] Error 1
bash-2.05b# make dep
Makefile is older than configure, please rerun ./configure
make: *** [Makefile] Error 1

I get the same prob. when running wineinstall, I dunno what this is about.

hasta guys

i'm a new member from italy (so don't scare reading my horrible english:-) so i need some infos about cod and linux: how can i "install" cod on rh9??? after i've "installed" it, have i only to run codsp.exe or codmp.exe using wine? tnx a lot for everyone who will reply (if you understand my shitty english;-)

I think I got it working now, I just don't have my sound working in Slack 10, so I get an error about that when starting up, as soon as that's fixed I'll see.

To try and help you out freeware:

Here's the packages for redhad 9 of wine
http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...ckage_id=77396

Just install that and then dl the installer for CoD here:
http://liflg.sourceforge.net/?page=art&artid=16

Then just mount the first cd and run the installer and ur done. Should just beable to type codsp/codmp to start the game.

ok, well I still can't get it to work. I got my sound working, but when I start it I get an error saying I don't have sound support, and miles sound system will not work. I assume it's because of what northgate said:

Take note, Call of Duty requires that you either have dmixing in ALSA or support for hardware mixing at the soundcard level.

How do I get this working? I'm running an nvidia soundstorm onboard soundcard.

donno i will run my cod then i ll say if it works...but how can i control if i have that mixing support?
me too...

:newbie: question

how can i mount a cd???

:newbie: question

another niubbi question: how to control the md5sum? how functions?

tnx!!! special tnx to krypto...

just type mount /dev/cdrom to unmount umount /dev/cdrom to eject just type eject, and you don't need to type umount, it'll automatically unmount it.

:newbie: response, whats an md5sum?

donno i remember that if you type md5sum file (i think it isn't correct...) it controls the md5 checksum of a iso file, an rpm file, or a .something file. so you can check if that file is corrupted or not...but i'm not sure...

I have Wine set to use the ALSA drivers (in the config file), and my dmixing is based on this howto: ALSA sound mixing, aka dmixing

It's pretty much a matter of dropping in a config file (/etc/alsa.conf, I think?).

I'm using an nForce2 soundchip, too. It actually has hardware mixing... under Windows.
