wine hl.exe -- hl.exe -console -toconsole -w 1024 +connect ip.of.a.CS.server
that should work..
try running it without -game option.
if that still hangs, check ur configs to make sure that "_snd_mixahead" is NOT a negative value.

to 0. If you're luckier than I you will get fps at higher than 4.
Z||000003||crazney||02-03-2001||04:36 AM||dhammerton@labyrinth.net.au||then your sound will lag
try _snd_mixahead at 0.23
the only _known_ issue with _snd_mixahead is hl crashes if its negative (-x.xx) on the config script hl first loads.

Z||000005||crazney||02-03-2001||06:34 PM||dhammerton@labyrinth.net.au||PLEASE DONT listen to crac about that xserver thing. all it does it generate a HUGE security risk..
here is a post from the other forum from me explaining how to NOT run it as root:
(the other issue, not menitoed below is incorrect GL setup!)
-----------
anyway, running xserver as root _doesnt_ change anything - EXCEPT you are using DIFFERENT wine configs, different permisoins on the CS dirs etc.
make sure that you (user) have the same configs as the super use, make sure that ur /usr/local/wine/ (wherever ur C drive is) is OWNED by ur user. etc..

ive got the latest cvs snap.. is there a problem with it by any chance> Z||000011||Zeitgeist||02-04-2001||05:40 PM||zeitgeist@animenet.org||why using the "toconsole" command? ive never even heard or used that. Z||000012||crazney||02-05-2001||02:09 AM||dhammerton@labyrinth.net.au||>> Zeitgeist:
no, u cant have a negative in the cstrike/config.cfg if you run with "-game cstrike" (to get radio sounds).
>> crac:
wine can do funny things, including crashing out of SU and getting root privelages.
You will not, its just common security to not run xserver as root - people can then run xclients on remote workstations as root.
ALSO, as i say, its better to solve the problem RATHER than avoid it by running x as root - eg fix your configs!!!
>>Zeitgeist
-toconsole just goes streight to console instead of waiting at menu.
Z||000013||crac||02-06-2001||11:19 AM||crac_dude@yahoo.com||>> crazney: i am not very good in english, so i am not sure if i well understood your answer: do you run WINE as a normal user (or as su)?
if you run it as normal user, did you only cp the config file into your homedir, thats it?
Z||000014||crazney||02-07-2001||02:52 AM||dhammerton@labyrinth.net.au||>>crac
what i am saying is, yes, it runs fine as a normal user - and you shouldnt be running it as root..
if it only works running x server as root try this:
"su" into ur user account when logged in as root, try running it in ur normal user mode (as x server running as root).. if that doesnt work, its a wine config problem..
make sure
/usr/local/etc/wine.conf == /root/~.wine/config == $HOME/~.wine/config
otherwise its a permision problem with opengl or something
craz Z||000015||crac||02-09-2001||03:26 AM||crac_dude@yahoo.com||hi crazney
ok it works now as normal user, but i have a strange error in the console:
"no sound, sound used by an other app (4)"
so everthing works fine, but i dont have sound. do you know perhaps how i can fix this? Z||000016||crazney||02-09-2001||04:29 AM||dhammerton@labyrinth.net.au||crac: make sure all your sound devices are writeable by all users (thats a security risk, i guess - so you could add it to ur groups, but still)..
to do this, 'chmod uxo+rw /dev/dsp*' and 'chmod uxo+rw /dev/mixer*'
Z||000017||may1937||02-09-2001||01:46 PM||mayof1937@crosswinds.net||another thing i have noticed -- if you are using esd (enlightened sound daemon, it's with gnome mostly i think), you might have to turn it off depending on if your sound card can handle multiple streams.
