Fallout 1

This game works well in a virtual desktop. But it might give problems in X.
It is not a big deal: if you want to play fullscreen use your windows manager to put the wine virtual desktop window fullscreen.

install in a clean wineprefix.

start winecfg and in the Libraries tab add ddraw and set it to Native. ddraw might not be in the list, add it manually.

In the Graphics tab enable the virtual desktop, any resolution is fine as it will resize as needed.



If playing 640x480 is ok you are done, otherwise you probably want the High Resolution Patch. Depending on the version it might add a menu to fallout where you can set resolution or only be controlled via ini file. The latter case seems annoying, but you can uninstall the patch and change the settings in the ini file just executing the exe again.

http://www.nma-fallout.com/forum/dload.php?action=file&file_id=1370

The file is a .zip file with a self-extracting archive. Unpack in a temp dir and execute the .exe, unpack in another directory.

Before copying the latter directory contents in the Fallout installation directory ensure you put all the filenames to lowercase.

$ convmv --notest --lower -r /Fallout/installation/dir
$ convmv --notest --lower -r /where/you/unpacked/the/high/res/patch

Unpack and execute the patch.

$ winetricks -q vcrun6
$ wine f1_res_patcher.exe

If you like here is a nice patches collection.

http://rapidgator.net/file/2819659/FalloutPatch.7z.html

It includes:
- Fallout v.1.2.1 patch by TeamX (decensor the game and puts back children)
- Fallout v.1.3.5 patch by TeamX
- Fallout 1 NPC Mod by TeamX v3.5
- Fallout Restoration project (demo)
- High resolution patch

As a little perk all the filenames are lowercase.

Enjoy.

Thanks a heap, dude.

GOG needs to start supporting Linux games.
Posted April 06, 2012
You are welcome... Are you really from New Zealand? I am always fascinated that that place. It seems really a nice place to live.

About the topic, I somewhat can understand GoG. I guess many of the customers are Windows users that have problem editing a configuration file; so GoG sells the all-ready packaged games.
I mean... GoG puts a copy of dosbox in each dos game! It is somewhat ridiculous, the configuration file would do fine.

Linux users instead support by themselves.

To show my appreciation to the enthusiasm I share this little script I use to start the game. Change the resolution as appropriate.
This bash script: sets the resolution; starts fallout; awaits the wine window and put it fullscreen. Once fallout finishes the resolution is reset to default.


I used the same export lines to install Fallout and installed in c:\fallout.


#!/bin/sh
set -m

function getWindowIdImpl() {
FALLOUTWIN="`wmctrl -l | sed -n -e '/ Wine desktop$/ s_ .*$__ p'`"
}

function getWindowId() {
FALLOUTWIN=""
getWindowIdImpl
while [ x = x$FALLOUTWIN ] ;do
sleep 0.5s
getWindowIdImpl
done
}

cd "`dirname "$0"`"

export WINEPREFIX="`readlink -e .`"/wine
export XDG_DATA_HOME="$WINEPREFIX"/env
export WINEDLLOVERRIDES="mshtml="
export WINEARCH="win32"

cd wine/drive_c/fallout

wine falloutw.exe &

getWindowId
wmctrl -i -r "$FALLOUTWIN" -e 0,0,0,-1,-1
xrandr -s 800x600
wmctrl -i -r "$FALLOUTWIN" -b add,fullscreen

fg
xrandr -s 0

Debian testing:

$ wine --version
wine-1.3.30

Running the gog installer with/without your tips in 1st post, results in a very nice access violation. Any advice?
Posted April 07, 2012
I never ever had any problem with gog installers. Are you sure the file has been correctly downloaded? The md5sum should be:

Yeap! Here are a list of steps I followed after which everything works like a charm:

1) Install latest wine deb packages from http://dev.carbon-project.org/debian/wine-unstable/

2) Install both 32/64-bit version of the opengl nvidia libraries, (sudo apt-get install libgl1-nvidia-glx libgl1-nvidia-glx-ia32)

ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/nvidia/current/libGL.so.1' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.

I haven't figured out why this happens.

3) make sure the filesystem from which you want to run your .exe file, is not mounted with noexec.

Enjoy!

Thanks for the heads up on how to get Fallout running on GNU/Linux! Will surely be useful for me as I am quite new to this operating system and prefer not to experiment on my own. :)
Posted April 08, 2012
if you need more details... google it. If it fails ask here. ;)

I installed it by PlayOnLinux, because on newest Wine, which I have installed, Fallout doesn't work. So I installed PlayOnLinux, and than I installed Wine 0.9.15 via PlayOnLinux, and configurated it like you said. And everything work, but very slow. Any ideas?
Posted April 08, 2012
Worked right out of the box for me. I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 Beta 2. Also installed FIXT Alpha 4, although the perfomance on higher resolutions reduces performance significanly, so I left it at 640x480.

Wine 0.9.15? There is wine 1.5.1 now, are you sure using a such old version makes sense? About the PlayOnLinux, sorry I know nothing about it, did you set the ddraw override?

NoH: Worked right out of the box for me. I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 Beta 2. Also installed FIXT Alpha 4, although the perfomance on higher resolutions reduces performance significanly, so I left it at 640x480.
I got a similar problem. I think it is a problem with ddraw that is much slower than directx in linux. But after all I think it does not make much sense increase the resolution too much as you see square kilometers of map with very small characters. I use 800x600 personally.
