Ubuntu - Ratzki - 10-24-2008

Just reconfirming my statement about CM running under Ubuntu, a post from Battlefront as to which emulator you should use:


The only emulator, virtual OS or not, to run CMx1 is Cedega's version of Wine.

I run Ubuntu on my laptop.... dp I download Cedegas version of wine to get CM to run on it??

Unfortunately,cedega isn't free Shane.So you can't simply install it by running Synaptic/Apt-get.Take a look here: http://www.cedega.com/support/membership/

I think I got mine off a torrent, can't remember, it was quite a while ago, and now lost to my cooked hard drive in my old machine.

How to run CMBB in GNU/Linux

1 ) Obtain cedega 6.0.2 total and cedega 6.0.5 engine

for instance:
TransGaming_CEDEGA_v6.0.5_Pro.rar

2 ) Install cedega 6.0.2 for debian
cedega-small_6.0.2_all.deb

3 ) now launch cedega from transgaming --> cedega

4 ) choose transgaming --> install local update

5 ) navigate to the cedega 6.0.5 engine

Code:
cedega-engine-6.0.5-local-update.i386.cpkgand install it (takes only half a second)

6 )Insert the CMBB disk or launch a virtual iso

7 ) choose install, create a game folder and navigate to the setup.exe (installation file) in the CMBB disk

8 ) Install CMBB as you would do in windows (takes very long)

9 ) Now get the no-cd patch from the web

10 ) Copy the patched file CombatMission2.exe to the CMBB folder inside .cedega/c_drive/Program Files/Combat Mission 2 overwriting the original CombatMission2.exe (or save first a copy of the original CombatMission2.exe if you so prefer)

11 ) Launch Combat Mission from Cedega

12 ) When presented with the graphic display BE CAREFUL: the maximum proposed resolution might push some of the commands too much over the lower edge of the screen, so be prepared, if this should happen, to delete the file
Combat Mission BB Prefs
and restart cedega-CMBB again, choosing aslightly lower resolution.
