Diablo 1 HD MOD and linux [SOLVED]

[Zeddrich]

So, I've successfully installed Diablo on POL I have it running under wine 3.0 with a patched ddraw.dll. The menu screens are a bit glitchy but navigable.

I would like to run the Diablo 1 HD MOD found at this address: http://diablo1.ovh.org/hd/?download

As far as I can tell I've extracted all of the files into the correct directories of the install. I get and Sfx error under wine, with the message: Create Video Stream Sound Object., OpenAL invalid ID.

I was wondering if anyone else had attempted to run the Diablo 1 HD MOD and had similar issues or any success getting it to run under wine.

Thanks for any ideas you can give me.

I feel the need to and another amendment to this thread. I'll explain, I had my hd go out and was reinstalling everything from the ground up. Going back through I had a problem with Diablo 1 HD MOD the sound wasn't working properly, after going through and doing everything the same way I did before.

I ran a debug in POL and this is what I found:

ALSA lib conf.c:3357:(snd_config_hooks_call) Cannot open shared library libasound_module_conf_pulse.so
ALSA lib pcm.c:2266:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default

Which pointed to libasound_module_conf_pulse.so as a missing library. I did some searching and found that this same issue was a problem with skype also, because it also uses 32bit libraries(it's odd that this HD MOD is only for 64bit systems but needs a 32bit library).

so i ran: sudo apt-get install libasound2-plugins:i386

After I ran that, I had sound and the game so far appears to be running normally.

My current thought is that previously I had installed Dwarf Fortress which requires libopenal:i386 and this might have also filled the missing library requirement; which would explain why I didn't have this problem on my old install.

Anyways, I hope this helps someone else in the future should they have the same problems.

Now I want to try this so your info may come in handy for me, let alone the post itself which is useful for the idea, thanks! (I sent you a private message by the way.) Classic, great game. I was also wanted to play the Hellfire extension and couldn't get it to work when I tried.

Blizzard expanded from only Windows to also including Mac versions of their games and so hopefully they grow to Linux releases also, for titles like Diablo 3, World of/Warcraft, etc.!
