Half Life: Counter strike Question?

[gsmonk]

I install Counterstrike using wine. It seems like it installed, but when i execute the cstrike.exe file it kicks up the cd-key screen. I try to put in the # but it will not let me type it in(when i type nothing appears). I was wondering is any of you know a work around or a fix?

Could be a focus issue...did you click in the text field in the box? (silly question...ya, there are lots of focusing issues...)

Have you tried blindly entering it? maybe you just can't see the text?

Try WineX from www.transgaming.com they have a great version of wine for half-life/counter-strike

The web link you provided, its a pay site right? This version of wine, Wine X works well this games?

Can I get WineX free or do I have to pay for it?

only wineX source can be gotten for free. It's a very simple compile though. Go to transgaming, click download, choose source, agree to the liscence, go to next page and copy/paste the 2 commands into a command line to download it all.

Or you can disagree with the license and just paste these 2 lines:

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.winex.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/winex login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.winex.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/winex co wine

when it asks you for a password, just hit enter.


After you've downloaded it all, cd into wine and type ./tools/wineinstall. It will do the rest for you.



p.s. you don't really need winex, since both wine and winex can play HL. If you can't get your CD key in at all, do it by hand. Open the file ~/.wine/user.reg with your fav text editor. Then find: [Software\\Valve\\Half-Life\\Settings]. Somwhere below it you will see: Key="xxxxxxxxx" just enter your cdkey there.

You forgot to disable the smilies :)

$ cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.winex.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/winex login
Hit Enter when prompted for a password
$ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.winex.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/winex co wine
