How to load hacks please ?

[Autogire]

Hello,
I play battlefront II under linux and I have a issue with the loading of maps ( very long).
I found a hack to resolve this problem here :
http://wine.1045685.n5.nabble.com/In-pr ... 61227.html
and the file : http://wine.1045685.n5.nabble.com/attac ... ed-hac.txt
I don't know how to put it in wine.
Can you help me ?
Thank you

You have to patch the source code and build Wine yourself.

That patch is over a year old, so it may not apply to current Wine.

Ok thank you
I have installed dependencies and now i'm downloading wine 1.3 from january 2012.
I should rename my Hack-for-in-process-wine-server-a.k.a.-Dirty-speed-hac.txt in .patch if I want it works ?
( foo.patch is the name of the patch in the example isn't it ? )

Ok I built wine and it works.
Now I have to set set the environment variable
DIRTYNASTYSPEEDHACK but I don't know how to do it ?
Thanks

Ask the person who wrote it.

Would you just run "wine <wine-source>/programs/cmd.exe.so" from a terminal (sans speech marks) and then type "SET DIRTYNASTYSPEEDHACK=xxxx" ?

(I'm not sure)

Normally setting a Wine environment variable follows the pattern

Code: Select all

NAMEOFVARIABLE=value wine program.exe

http://www.winehq.org/docs/wineusr-guide/x258

In the case of this patch the name of the variable is apparently DIRTYNASTYSPEEDHACK but I have no idea what the value should be.

I'm still trying to do it.
I will e-mail to him the forum conversation
