PB3 worked fine for me, but this is the output that I get when I try to run my PB4 launcher script in the terminal
Quotedave@icarus:~/Programs/Battlezone2$ ./Launchbz2.sh

What is this dbghelp.dll file? And is there a way to disable the debugger?
My linux version is Kubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) using Wine 1.0 RC4. If that even matters.
FOUND A SOLUTION:
I tried to see what happens if I overrode the DLL for dbghelp.dll -- so I went to winecfg --> libraries --> create new entry 'dbghelp' --> and made sure its set to (native, builtin)
And BZ2 just miraculously worked! :)
I had to set halftexel correction to 0 in render.cfg (in the bz2 folder) so that my shell fonts werent screwed up, but it was not a problem. One thing I noticed is that sound actually works in 1.3 now.
I also noticed that PB4 erased all my previous setup control configs, which is a minor annoyance, but one I can live with. The important thing is that SOUND ACTUALLY WORKS.
What does this 'weapons linking' and 'weapon multi select' thing do?
Weapon linking reffers to one touch linking of similar HPs (I think) only for certain units.
Multi Select is using shift to select multiple weapons one by one.
so in short are you saying that the player can fire more than one weapon at a time :S?
yeah - in a unit with more than one weapon, say a sabre tank - hold down shift, and right-click as if to change weapons
keeping shift pressed, left click and then the weapons should be linked - right click again and it is lost
you might be able to link every weapon in a unit this way
You can..... Jsut word of advice, DONT link cannons/guns/rockets to mortars/specials.... not very effective. Try it and you'll see what i mean. :|
Imagine weapon linking style in Battlezone 1. That's about the same thing except in the BZ2 engine. :)
Zero Angel, how did you get Ubuntu working? I have the os working but I can't get either creative labs or nvidia's drivers to install.
That and how do you get pb4 to actually execute? I have the files installed on my Ubuntu partition, I just can't get either bz2 to work or those drivers.
dbghelp.dll is a Microsoft-supplied DLL, which helps translate addresses into symbol names for crash dumps. It's a far more accurate approach than the old .sym files; that's why there's .pdb files. WinXP and the like have shipped with really old dbghelp.dll; BZ2 uses a newer one. WINE, if it's doing things correctly should be loading DLLs from the current directory first. Because that's what Windows does.
And as to the audio issues, this is WINE not being bug-for-bug compatible with Windows. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms712181(VS.85).aspx (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms712181(VS.85).aspx) describes the function that I changed this week. It seems that Windows safely ignores MMIO_ALLOCBUF when passed a memory buffer. WINE blew chunks. You can consider this a bug report that should be filed with the WINE devs.

Well, I was lucky, Ubuntu 'just worked' for me without any major messing around with things. Creative drivers should work without too much tweaking as well, since creative chipsets are rather common. But if I were you i'd try to apt-get the program called 'envy', which should install the proprietary nvidia drivers. linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r` should also install the 3D accelerated drivers, but 'envy' uses the latest nvidia ones.
As far as getting PB4 to execute, that was easy. I wrote a shell script to launch it, and then made it executable.
Quote#! /bin/bash
# launch bz2
echo "Launching Battlezone 2"
cd /home/dave/Programs/Battlezone2
wine bzone.exe -poweruser
exit 0
A fellow named "No Name" AKA "French_Killer" also got BZ2 working in Ubuntu. He made a topic about it here (http://www.timedisruptor.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3134)
