Elli's -NEW- guide to AirRivals and WINE
Old guide... Please dont follow.
I have written a script, that should nearly automate the whole process, some manual intervention required.
I will paste it here when I've finished testing it.
But for now, just follow these steps:
Oh, and do this in a fresh WINEPREFIX (.wine) and NOT one where you have followed the previous guide.
Uhh, and one more thing, use the latest development version of wine (which at time of writing is 1.1.27) It has a lot of bugs and performance issues fixed
Step 1:
Aquire the Appropriate files. These are:
- d3dxof.dll
- quartz.dll
- l3codecx.ax
These can be obtained from a DirectX installation, so you could follow the previous guide just to get these files.
Step 2:
Regsvr32 the Appropriate files. Run these commands:
wine regsvr32 quartz.dll
wine regsvr32 l3codecx.ax
Step 3:
Add Appropriate Overrides.
Fire up winecfg, click on the libraries tab, select the box that says "New override for library:"
Type: d3dxof and press "Add", after that, select d3dxof in the list of "Existing overrides" and press "Edit..."
Change the load order to "Native (Windows)", the 2nd one down.
Do EXACTLY the same again, but replace "d3dxof" with "quartz"
Step 4:
Fix some issues. The game appears more stable with a native dinput8, and d3dx9_??.dll's
Shop fonts can also look better, and this is all relativity simple to do with winetricks
First, get winetricks.
wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks
then, type this into a terminal:
sh winetricks allfonts dinput8 d3dx9
Then wait...
Step 5:
Download, Install and play!

#wine at Freenode, for telling me i needed d3dxof and to "regsvr32" quartz
wine AppDB for helping me figure out that l3codecx.ax needed to be "regsvr32'd"

This was actually the first method I tried and it failed when loading the town map. Glad you got it working. Maybe I'll give it another try on a fresh install once this project is over with.
For sound, check your WINE config and make sure that it's set up for whichever architecture your card is configured for (but in reality, depending on the errors you're getting in your terminal, disabling sound completely may fix your problem).
Sw00f, it looks like your fonts are screwed up in-game. In Ubuntu, add the multiverse repository and apt-get install msttcore
That should fix any font problems (hopefully)
This was the issue I was having with this method.Hmm... I can get it to the second loading screen (where it loads a map; got the gear loading screen and all that) when I get a blank window with the title SC Voip, follwed by WINE closing. Should I have a new installation of AirRivals specifically for Linux (I'm trying to run the one that's on my Windows installation), or have I done something wrong here?
Also, I'm not getting any sound; any ideas on why that might be?

Voip? Could it possibly be related to the game's (failed) voice over ip engine (named "SCVoIP.exe" in the Res-Voip dir)? I mean, if it doesn't work with Windows at any given time, could it possibly screw up more when running it with WINE? Enough to kill the sound?Hmm... I can get it to the second loading screen (where it loads a map; got the gear loading screen and all that) when I get a blank window with the title SC Voip, follwed by WINE closing.

I know that it will load without that directory, cause I haven't had it since the AR client was released. So try getting rid of that, and see what it does.

RE: Thanks for the link
cheers! your guide was helpfulHello elli222,
You will want to install DirectX 9.0c and have Wine emulate win2k..
Because if you don't the installer wont install dxdiag.exe
Edit:
I posted a little howto on my blog...
http://wine-review.blogspot.com/2008/05/…-with-wine.html
Cheers,

and i haven't tried setting the Richedit20&32 DLL's yet, i have yet to find a way of forcing resolution- so it can run without emulating a desktop. Apparently there is a command, but they decided not to show it D: i will try your RichEdit updates now For once i actully feel helpful
