Le jeu marche très bien chez moi aussi, par contre le son est vraiment dégueu ^^

pas possible de faire mieux, enfin, pour l'instant....
je retesterai l'install avec les nouvelles versions de wine et je modifierai le scritpt en fonction, si l'OpenAL32.dll installée avec le jeu est enfin supportée !

Hi, and sorry for my english, I can't speak french.
I created the same script... later... I didnt know nothing about that version. Didn't tested it but for sure it's good.
My script was not so complex especially with DirectX installation.
But I write here to tell you that I resolve sound problem) but I need testers. You can check my idea with your script just replace 2 dll's. You can check it here:
http://www.playonmac.com/en/topic-1528.html

bye, and sorry again for my poor english

i will answer you in english :

so, i don't understand why you think you resolved the sound problem: i have read your script, and i saw that the dll file you include by it is the same as mine !!
this file comes from scmalzer.de website : that what i did !
for directx, this game needs the full version of directx to avoid connection problem in multiplayer mode.
thanks a lot for your contribution.
at the last,
chriswill

hi,
think you didnt check my theme for last changes)
thats - from your script

download "OPenAL32.dll" http://schmatzler.de/openal32.dll "" 16 17
mv openal32.dll OpenAL32.dll MV openal32.dll OpenAL32.dll
thats from mine

download "$LNG_DOWNLOAD" "http://www.dllbank.com/zip/w/wrap_oal.dll.zip" "$LANG_TM_DOWN_DLL" 8 9 0
run_and_wait "" "unzip wrap_oal.dll.zip" "" 0 0 0 "" 1
cp -f wrap_oal.dll $REPERTOIRE/wineprefix/TmNationsForever/drive_c/Program\ Files/TmNationsForever/wrap_oal.dll

That' s the last version, think I have to delete old script versions ...

First time I did the same thing as you, checked appdb.winehq.org, read the solution, tested it and, as it almost worked, added step by step to rhe script. Except DirectX (for me standart POL solution allways worked I tested network play... may be not so long as you).
But sound was really annoying and when I checked OpenAL developers site, I notice another dll that they use - wrap_oal.dll:
http://developer.creative.com/articles/article.asp?cat=31&top=38&aid=46

so I did some tests and found the solution. Just recover OpenAL32.dll(that was installed with the game) or get it from creative installer, and change wrap_oal.dll to old version. I'll test that solution today at work (at home computer all was extremly good)

And about pixel shaders, The only problem ( I tested it only on thee computers) that if you try to change for higher shaders you' ll can't to read onscreen messages, but If you'll lower it all will be ok.

good luck....

Hi, again.
I made a long test (several hours, yours and mine DirectX installation, three videocards from GeForce4 till Geforce8800GTS, differenet audio including hardcore gaming card from RAZER, different network conditions, for pity can't test with ATI) and for now I know you was right about network game. But the problem is not in DirectX, problem in wine version. Only version that can work without any bugs in network play is 0.9.58, all later versions are buggy. Didn't feel that win2k better that winXP, but so as someone told that, i changed to win2k in script and prepare it for easy translation. Also you was right about PIxelShaders, that more easy changed it in script than explain for user how to switch shaders version in game options.

So if you have a time, please translate the script (check english forum here: http://www.playonmac.com/en/topic-1528-TrackMania_Nations_Forever.html

I began to translate the text, I warn you as soon as I finished

thank you the great

thank you
u r right, no need in dublicates.
and so as english is not my native language (i'm russian), I hope my messages were understandable)

Pour un son parfait :
http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=222456

C'est bien sympa mais le lien ou la solution a été trouvée est ici, c'est plus haut...

je confirme !!

....... c'est rigolo le lien qui pointe vers le forum ubuntu qui pointe lui-même ici !! ?? !!

je ne sais d'ailleurs pas si chain2k a proposé son script en remplacement du mien ?
le mien a toujours l'air d'être proposé !

mine script is in "validation" state.
there are not many changes with yours, chriswill, so I think that for those who installed previous version I can make a patch script.
directX version - had'nt big matter when I tested it
only wine version (at appdb.winehq.org many messages that people had troubles with wine higher than 0.9.58) and dll changes... just have to find downloadable last version of OPenAL32.dll. If I didn't, I have another solution, download and extract it from OpenAL developers package.

Salut

Pour valider le script de chain2k, je veux des screenshots, et de au moins 2 utilisateurs différents.
To validate chain2k's script, i want screenshots, and at least from 2 differents users.

Thanks

Hi,
I can show videos from the different comps with ubuntu 8.04, one with GF 8800GTS and one with GF4 TOGO,
but I think you need other users shots.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9bUOWKWB90 (network play GF4 ToGo, sound problem resolved)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFBSsPiRn-E (local play GF8800 GTS with old sound)

tnx
