TTD working on linux using Winex (worked at least twice)

Cedega 5.2.3

TTD's installer works fine with Cedega, although I've not gotten the game itself to work without TTDPatch.

1. Run cedega and create a game folder for TTD (Tools->Game Folders->Add)
2. Install the game by clicking Install on the toolbar and select setup.exe as the executable to run.
3. After the game is installed, copy the TTDPatch executables to your game's installation directory. (Default is ~/.cedega/<game folder>/c_drive/MPS/TTWin95 - Might be different if you installed to a different directory or if your game directory is in a different location)
4. In the Cedega interface, right click the game folder and go to Add Shortcut. Use the settings below. After this step, the game should work (although I've not gotten sound to work yet).

-+Name: Transport Tycoon Deluxe+-

-+Path to program: ~/.cedega/<game folder>/c_drive/MPS/TTWin95/ttdpatchw.exe+-

-+Working directory:  ~/.cedega/<game folder>/c_drive/MPS/TTWin95+-

-+Command line options: Any of the command line options you want to use with TTDPatch+-

If you also want TTConfig, you can create a shortcut for that as well, with these settings:

-+Path to program: ~/.cedega/<game folder>/c_drive/MPS/TTWin95/TTConfig.exe+-

-+Working directory:  ~/.cedega/<game folder>/c_drive/MPS/TTWin95+-

WineX 3-3.1

I did the following to get it working:

1. Install Winex (I used winex3-3.1)

2. Copy your entire TTD install dir (from windows) to where you want it (on my system: Program Files/ttd on Transgaming drive)

3. Copy registry information from page. Add this to -+~/.winex/system.reg+- AND -+~/.winex/user.reg+-. Check your install dir here.

4. Copy mciseq.drv and mciwave.drv from native windows dir to -+~/.winex/windows/c_drive/windows/system32+- and edit system.ini (in -+../windows/+-) to remove the comment from that two items. Also edit -+~/.winex/config+-) to change builtin to native on those two items. (it was: builtin, native; it is: native, builtin)

5. Copy command.com from you native windows dir to your TTD dir.

6. Run -+winex3 TTDConfig.exe+- to set non-fullscreen display mode.

7. Edit ttdpatch.cfg (or your patch file) to make sure: -+win2k on+- (and -+forcerebuildovl off+- if you don't have a command.com)

8. Create a shell script, with the following lines:

deprecate!!

-+LANG=english+-

-+winex3 -winver winxp -- ttdpatchw.exe -C config.cfg+-

you only need

-+winex3 -winver winxp -- ttdpatchw.exe -C config.cfg+-

with patch 2.0.1 alpha 11 now.

9. Make script executable: -+chmod +x something.sh+-

10. Run script.

11. You should see opening screen of TTD now...
