Run WME with OS X Wine
« on: December 23, 2011, 03:45:08 PM »

Hi!

I'm working on a Mac (Lion) and running WME on Windows via BootCamp works fine of course.
But i just tried to install WME on my Mac partition with WineBottler to avoid rebooting the computer every time i wanna work on my project.
Installing WineBottler and WME worked both fine, but right after that, when i try to start up wme.exe, an error message occurred.
It says:
Einige notwendige Spieldateien können nicht geladen werden. Bitte installieren Sie das Spiel erneut und versuchen Sie es noch einmal.

In english it would be something like:
Some necessary game files couldn't be loaded. Please reinstall the game and try it again.

Already reinstalled WME, but the problem persists.

Google couldn't help, and i don't find any tutorials for installing WME on a Mac, let alone a solution for that problem.
But as far as i know, WME should run fine with Wine in some degree - at least i thought it should.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

That message means that you run wme.exe and the engine can't find game data (compiled or not). Do you get it when compiling and running a game or when trying to run a game through project manager?

Hi!

Thanks for your reply.
Neither nor.
I get this message instantly when i'm trying to start up the project manager (wme.exe).
I can't even get WME running, so to say there's no WME-related game existing yet.

wme.exe is not Project Manager, that would be ProjectMan.exe. You can't run wme.exe with no game data, that's why you're getting the error message.

Oh my god, you're right! Sorry.
Alright, now WME starts up, but the problem now is that i can't open my project files.
I choose "open", browse to my project folder (it's in my documents folder), where i click on "rott.wpr". But nothing happens, WME freezes and i can't click on anything anymore.
The only thing i can do is click on the red X (the upper left corner of the window) to close the whole application, but within WME there's nothing i can do.

At first i thought it's because there is some kind of a virtual Windows directory inside of the Wintermute package.
Because when i open the finder, browse to my applications folder, rightclick on Wintermute and then "Show package contents", there is a c:\ with those standard Windows folders.
But i also tried to copy my project folder into the Wintermute package, so that it's stored in the Windows directory.
Doesn't work either, same problem.

At last i tried to open a new project.
So in WME i clicked on "new", entered a project name and clicked "ok". But then there is the same problem again ... WME freezes.

So it seems WME isn't able to open a project in general.
Bad thing ...

PS:
But running a compiled WME game works fine and without any problems.

Hm, I think it hangs at the moment when ProjectMan initializes the Direct3D view. No advice here, sorry. I know some people run ProjectMan using Wine in Linux, but I don't know how the compatibility is in OSX.
You can try checking the ProjectMan.log file, it should be generated in the project directory.

There's only one ProjectMan.log file i could find with Spotlight search, and it contains logs from the 30th of October until yesterday evening, when i started up a compiled WME-game with wine.
I'm afraid it's not the correct log file, maybe wine-WME couldn't log my attempts opening a project, because it freezed.
But i copied out the last few logs:
