Wine questions

Hi, I've got some questions about wine.

1. I've made a sh file for playing starcraft. It does some prefix and so. Can I make it mount my cdrom and change my resolution to?

2. Will the starcraft wine hack make it harder to play other games than starcraft?

I don't really know starcraft... But yes you can do a script which mount your CD, and if like CS you can have resolution as an argument of your command line... yes.

"yes you can do a script which mount your CD"
But I more think what I need is a script to check if my CDROM drive is mounted or not. Else wont I get an error if I try to mount a mounted drive?

"if like CS you can have resolution as an argument of your command line"
Good!, how?

As for changing the resolution, why not edit your ~/.wine/config file (or wherever it may be) to make an exception for StarCraft.exe?

Something like:

[AppDefaults\\StarCraft.exe\\x11drv]
"Desktop" = "yourdimensions"

(I'm not sure if that is 100% correct..)

It wasn't exactly the right place to write it, but now it work very good!
I would just wish wine also could make it full screen.

That is possible too, if you are able to unset the "Desktop" variable. I don't know if something like this is valid?

[AppDefaults\\StarCraft.exe\\x11drv]
"Desktop" = ""

Yes you will have a message like: "/cdrom already mounted" you can check that with /etc/mtab file which shows you which devices are already mounted

For CS I use the following option: wine hl.exe -w 1280 -h 1024 -game cstrike...
it forces screen width to 1280 and heigth to 1024

Good, so what to write? Something like

Code:

if  /etc/mtab cdrom == 0
   mount cdrom;

?

Nice! I'm quite a noob, but how can I get that in my "(wine /home/thomas/windows/Spil/Starcraft/StarCraft.exe &) ; sleep 120 ; killall wine" Comand?

For cdrom it should be something like that:
i = grep cdrom /etc/mtab | wc -l
if [i -eq 1]
then
mount /cdrom
fi

About the second question I don't know Starcraft parameters to tell you more

you can use just make a script like this:
cd /where/you/installed/starcraft
mount /mnt/cdrom
wine StarCraft.exe
umount /mnt/cdrom
if the cdrom is already mounted, itll say so, but it wont stop completely.

"it'll say so, but it wont stop completely."
because i'm nor running my script by the terminal, it doesn't say anything at all!
But it doesn't unmount it after closing. (?)
