007: Nightfire

What works

• Installing from CD (with "wine eject"), entering key
• copying over no-cd-patch :D
• Already played the first 2 levels on high settings and virtual desktop
• NO mouse problems!
• sounds and cutscenes

What does not

• Game sometimes crashes (mostly "pure virtual function calls")
• You'll have to install the video codec by yourself...

Additional Comments

Geforce 8, INDEO codec and installation tutorial below. Codec: I did a "custom"-install, because "typical" did not work. I only deselected the webbrowser-support.

Installation:

I recommend creating a new wine directory for large applications to avoid corrupting your default wine directory. However this step is not necessary, to a create new wine directory use wine prefix:

wineprefixcreate --prefix {DIR_NAME}

Afterwards start the installation with the following command

env WINEPREFIX="/home/{USERNAME}/{DIR_NAME}" wine /CD-ROM/setup.exe

Running:

Run:

env WINEPREFIX="/home/{USERNAME}/{DIR_NAME}" winecfg

and set up the game to use ALSA sound. The games cut scenes will not work in till you install the indeo codec, get it here ~ http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/Ligos-Indeo-Codec-Download-14540.html

Install the codec in the same wine directory as the game is installed and launch the game with:

env WINEPREFIX="/home/{USERNAME}/{DIR_NAME}" wine "C:\Program Files\EA Games\Nightfire\Bond.exe"

You can also launch the game with these commands added on for the following effect

WINEDEBUG=-d3d = Speeds up menu

+console 1 = Enables cheats

WINEDEBUG=-all = Speeds up menu / disables fixme messages
