No need to bundle it. Timidity is available in all distros. If you want to switch, just modify the conf file shipped with the game. I however prefer fluidsynth (I don't have Timidity installed). It's better than Timidity if you choose good sound fonts.

See here some examples:

Just to point out these patches for who wants to avoid Wine, I believe they're more visible in this thread than the Unreal dedicated forum:

Unreal Tournament 2004 - Easy Setup for Linux

Unreal Tournament 99 GOTY - Easy Setup for Linux

NOTICE: An updated version of this guide can be found here: http://www.gog.com/forum/indiana_jones_series/indiana_jones_the_emperors_tomb_a_linux_guide
--------------------------------------------

So I heard you wanna play Indiana Jones and The Emperor's Tomb on Linux, let's do this! This should work on every WINE version 1.6.2 and above. (Playing it on 1.7.38)

1) Create a 32bit Wine prefix set as Windows XP.

2) Install the game normally (the installer will throw an error at the end but no worries).

2) Open "regedit" and go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Wine > Direct3D (if it doesn't exist create it).

3) Create a DWORD and name it: MaxShaderModelVS with a value data of 0 and close regedit.

4) Download this zip file: http://www.jrsoftware.org/download.php/vcredist.zip (it contains the dlls required for the game).

5) Extract all the files from vcredist.zip in your Wine prefix "C:\Windows\System32\"

6) Open the Winecfg again and go to the Libraries section, add "msvcrt" and set it to "native".

7) Go to the game's folder > GameData > indy > vars.cfg > set 'fpsLimit=30' to 'fpsLimit=60'

Launching the game using "EmperorsTomb.exe" gives me a "bad EXE format" error, a workaround is to go to GameData > bin > launching the game using "indy.exe".

Known Issues:

- Setting resolution higher than 1152x864 in game will make it crash, as a workaround you can manually set it to 1600x1200 (or any other 4:3 resolution) from the same var.cfg file as in step 7.

Cheers and Enjoy :D

EDIT: Attached game icon in png format.

Thanks for the workaround! I just tried playing it and quickly discovered these bugs:

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12400
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27594

The second is fixable with installing vcrun6 and setting msvcrt to native like you write. The first one I didn't figure out, may be your fixes do it - I'll try them now. How did you find them?

For the vertex shaders I kinda figured it out by myself that they had something to do with the disappearance of the statues. Initially I turned off all 3 - Pixel,Geometry and Vertex Shaders until the items started appearing.

For the vcrun6 I've searched the Wine pages and old posts regarding the crashes for possible hints.

UPDATE:

It worked! Textures bug is fixed with setting MaxShaderModelVS to 0!

Is fps setting also related to it, or not?
Can you please post this workaround to the relevant bug? https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12400

If you don't have access, I can post your finding there.

I'm not sure regarding the fps but before running it without the vcrun6 I noticed something. At 30fps the game would bring up the error before the door's open in the main menu, setting it at 60fps it goes up to the end of the hall before the error.

I don't have an account on winehq yet. You can go ahead and post it if it's not a problem.


EDIT: If you find anything regarding the resolution I'd very much appreciate it. Anything past 1152x864 gives an error and crashes the game, to revert the change you'll have to do it manually from the vars.cfg file.

Yeah, that happens to me too. I didn't find any info on that yet. I'll post your workaround to the bug tracker shortly. I guess fps change isn't strictly necessary, but it wouldn't hurt to bump it.

Did you notice any anomaly in the log when resolution switch fails?

@Ganni1987: I posted your workaround here: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12400#c28

Thanks again, it was a great find!

This is what I'm getting from the terminal:

The last 2 lines show up when changing the resolution.

The "message.log" from the game gives this:

ABORTING: (Render) Errors creating device:
(0) Not available
(1) Not available

[no game crash info]


EDIT: Thanks for uploading the fix.

I suspect it just tries to set it to something weird. I just went ahead and modified it in the vars.cfg file manually (keeping the aspect ratio). I.e. I set it:

res_height=1200
res_width=1600

And it worked!

Was just updating the guide as I just finished testing it with the same resolution and works too. :D

Setting another aspect ratio for wide screen didn't work though:

res_height=1200
res_width=1920

This failed and it reverted back to 640x480.

1680x1050 is my max and reverts to 640x480 too. I've searched on various widescreen gaming sites about this and looks like 1600x1200 is the max for this game.

Great, the game is now fully playable (unless there are some nasty bugs later on :).
I think it simply doesn't support anything besides 4:3 aspect ratio, at least by default. (1600x1200 is 4:3 same as 640x480).

Some other examples you can test:

If 1680x1050 is your max, try setting to 1400x1050.
