This .exe must have KEYBOARD.COK in the DATA folder

Post by nonc »

hi,

im trying to get carmageddon to work (http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... on&iId=492)

i followed the instructions and when i try to get it to run i get the error "This .exe must have KEYBOARD.COK in the DATA folder"

the terminal also outputs
":~$ wine '/home/user/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Games/Carmageddon/CARM95.EXE' -hires
fixme:spoolsv:serv_main (0 (nil))
fixme:mixer:ALSA_MixerInit No master control found on HDA ATI HDMI, disabling mixer"

im running ubuntu 8.04 and wine 0.9.59 (which according to the page should work)

all help appreciated

cheers

Is your username actually "user"? If not, substitute your actual username for that part.

You should also cd to the directory where the program file is located and run it from there.

ok, well that was for more different than i was expecting

my username is not user - i changed it so that its not so easy to work out my first name.

anyway - i cd'd through, it changed my resolution, and then tried to play the intro movie. it didnt do very well at this, as it only managed to play about the first two seconds and then i think i had to wait for it to try to play through and then took me to the main menu

i then was able to play the game, and from what i can remember from playing it all those years ago, it worked fine and all the controls were okay. but it did freeze on me about 2 minutes in, at which point i ctrl-alt-backspaced out of it okay

it did look like there was some terminal output, which i shall try to grab now.

oh and the sound didnt work, but im gonna put this down to pulse audio. will change the settings on my next attempt, see what happens.

ps thanks for the quick reply

seems to be working now. cd to the directory seems to have done it, still no sound though

cheers anyway
