Help for a complete newbie? (Bulletstorm mouse issues)

HimAgain · Post by **HimAgain** » Fri Jun 03, 2011 8:42 am

I've got a copy of Bulletstorm and I've been trying to get it run properly but I've had several issues. Trying to use wineskin, I've made a wrapper with the 1.3 engine and it runs the game just fine. The problem is that when I get into the first person mode (so not on the interface/menu/whatever) that the mouse spasmodically spins around and erratically changes direction whenever I try to use it.

I tried using a different engine but it has a certain error with a code. I looked at the appdb and it says I need to "launching msiexec on Game.msi" but I'm not sure how to do that. When I try to run game.msi, it just installs a couple of files. (bulletstorm.lnk and bulletstorm.desktop).

So any help as to how to fix this problem would be wonderful.
If you wouldn't mind, please be very specific as I'm very new to this.
Please help and thank you in advanced.

Maybe that link will have a chance of helping you.
You MADE a wrapper?!

I'm sure the AppDB would love a test result involving the wrapper or at least a comment about it with a link to the wrapper. Though they don't like 3rd party WINE stuff to be in with the "pure" WINE. A comment with a link to the wrapper should be okay though.

About the MSI stuff, got to terminal and type in "wine msiexec /i [path to msi]" and hit enter.

Isn't wineskin a tool specifically used to make wrappers? Or is that not how I make files work?

and I'm on a mac so... can I still do that?

I feel so stupid =_=

Wineskin is NOT supported here. Please visit the web site for the
product to get assistance.

You can install 'vanilla' Wine with either MacPorts or Fink if you do
not want to go through the entire process. Also Ryan Woodsmall created
a script, osxwinebuilder to do this as a stand-alone project.

Don't. We all were new at one time and went through some of the
'growing' pains of learning about OSX and Wine.

Yes.. Wineskin Isn't supported here, and we don't wanna clog up these forums (or the mailing list) about them.

If you need some help, I can try... but you'd need to message me directly, or best bet, use the contact form on the website.

Depending on my workload it sometimes takes me a few days to get to a message since I'm a one man team...
