StarCraft

Installing
Run winecfg to configure wine as user and use the Audio tab to configure your sound card:
 * 1) winecfg

Insert the StarCraft CD and install it
 * 1) cd /media/STARCRAFT
 * 2) wine setup.exe

Playing the Game
Note: Starting starcraft using the cdrom setup.exe causes sound NOT to work


 * 1) wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/StarCraft/StarCraft.exe

StarCraft.exe must be able to access the CD. If it cannot, tell wine where the CD is:


 * 1) cd ~/.wine/dosdevices/
 * 2) ln -s /media/STARCRAFT d:

Install BroodWar
Mount BroodWar CD


 * 1) cd /media/BROODWAR
 * 2) wine setup.exe

Update StarCraft/BroodWar
Download the update: http://www.blizzard.com/support/?id=msc0411p


 * 1) wine BW-116.exe

If you install this latest patch from blizzard, you can play starcraft online.

Play Without the CD
Since Starcraft update patch ver. 1152, Starcraft natively supports play without a cd. Simply copy install.exe from the starcraft cd to StarCraft.mpq in the Starcraft directory. If you use BroodWar, you also need to copy install.exe from the BroodWar CD to BroodWar.mpq.
 * 1) cp /media/STARCRAFT/install.exe ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Starcraft/StarCraft.mpq
 * 2) cp /media/BROODWAR/install.exe ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Starcraft/BroodWar.mpq

 * 1) Under AppDefaults, add Key starcraft.exe (Right-click>New>Key)
 * 2) Do the same with Direct3D
 * 3) Under Direct3D, add a string value called DirectDrawRenderer and set its value to opengl
