Hello, 

I have been working on getting Open General javascript:nicTemp(); working with Play On Mac with some success, but after the game runs for a while it crashes. I am not too savvy on this stuff so I came here with hope that someone could help. I have pasted the backtrace.txt file produced.

Thanks in advance for the help.

System:
Mac OSX 10.7.5
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 512 MB
Play On Mac version 4.1.8

Hi, i've found your post and as i am also a PG enthusiast i would like to post you an alternative if you doesn't know it allready, there is a browser based variant of PG:
http://openpanzer.net/

>Unfortunately, it seems to me there is no way to run Open General with wine in a playable manner. It is simple NOT stable and sound also doesn't work with wine. That said, noone seems to care for such an old(school) game and therefore it seems noone tries to get it to run propperly with wine.

I hope the posted link helps

Im downloading it right now, and Im going to see if I can get it to work, and if so, I will write a script for it. Ill answer back in a little while after i spend some time with it.

It works fine, but the script will take some time to get right. The problem is, that its just a self-extracting .exe. So, you can extract it anywhere, and unless everyone extracts it to the same spot in their virtual drive, its going to be hard to create a shortcut automatically for it.

All I did, was create a new virtual drive with these specs:

32-bit
Windows XP (in Wine Configuration)
wine version 1.4.1

Then, I ran the .exe in the virtual drive from the Miscellaneous tab, which will open up a box asking you where you want to extract it to. Extract it to the wineprefix folder in the PlayOnMac folder (I dont own a mac, so I dont know).

Once its been extracted, you can run a .exe from that virtual drive. The one you want is OpenGen.exe. It will be located wherever you extracted it.

It loads and plays, but I only tested it for a few minutes.

hmm that sounds promissing. But i had to convert the tileset used by this game to *.png files via shell commands to get rid of the all white drawn maps (http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31462) according to this thread: http://www.panzercentral.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=703901#p703901
Didn't you had to do that ?

Besides that, the game starts, runs with absolute no sound and allways segfaults after a few turns played. -- i read somewhere that you'll have to set wingestreamer.dll to native to overcome the sound issue, but for me it didn't worked. The game is still quiet and the crashes remain.

Would be nice to finaly play it on linux though. Glad to see that you took a look into it :-)

Mine didnt do that. I didnt have to do any of that stuff, although, my speakers were off, and I neglected to check the sound.

There has to be a better, and native, Linux version of this type of game. haha.

I found this, which is what you suggested. This would probably be a better alternative, instead of wading through all sorts of patches to run an old game that has a Linux native variant.
