Using a Cedega Package (not downloaded and installed via P2P) with Point2Play ============================================================================ Point2Play can now make use of Cedega installed through regular package management (tgz, rpm or deb) although it should be noted that there is no functional difference. You have two choices on how to use these versions of Cedega from Point2Play. 1) Set up a global RC file -------------------------- Using this method you can set up versions of Cedega that are accessible by an user on your machine that uses Point2Play. Create a file, as root, called /usr/lib/transgaming_point2play/Point2PlayRC, and set it up as follows: [winex] =: Versions of Cedega 4.0 or later require the addition of a special identifier called a version credential, which lets Point2Play know about the particular features supported by that version of Cedega. This is required because although you are recommended to fill in the space "" above with the actual version number you are trying to use, you can actually put almost anything you want as the version number (in case for example you want several versions installed for testing) Unlike previous versions of Point2Play, you only need to include the HIGHEST version number credential that applies. If you wish to be compatible with an older version of Point2Play you need to include a 4.0 and 4.0.1 credential together. Also older versions of Point2Play will not react nicely to newer credentials. The credentials that currently exist are: <40f> = Cedega version 4.0 (and > ) features <401f> = Cedega version 4.0.1 (and > ) features For example, in 4.0: [winex] <40f>4.0=/usr/lib/transgaming_cedega:/usr/bin/cedega And in 4.0.1 (and later): <401f>4.0.1=/usr/lib/transgaming_cedega:/usr/bin/cedega There is a line for each version of Cedega installed. You can also set a default version of Cedega for all users by adding an entry: default= (This can be overridden on a user by user basis) An example /usr/lib/transgaming_point2play/Point2PlayRC file: [winex] default=4.0.1 <401f>4.0.1=/usr/lib/transgaming_cedega:/usr/bin/cedega 3.2.1=/usr/lib/transgaming_winex3:/usr/bin/winex3 2) Add an entry to your local RC file ------------------------------------- Inside ~/.point2playrc, add a line in the following format: =: Versions of Cedega 4.0 or later require the addition of version credential to unlock the special configuration options and other features only supported in the newer versions of Cedega. Unlike previous versions of Point2Play, you only need to include the HIGHEST version number credential that applies. If you wish to be compatible with an older version of Point2Play you need to include a 4.0 and 4.0.1 credential together. Also older versions of Point2Play will not react nicely to newer credentials. The credentials that currently exist are: <40f> = Cedega version 4.0 (and > ) features <401f> = Cedega version 4.0.1 (and > ) features For example: [winex] <401f>4.0.1=/usr/lib/transgaming_cedega:/usr/bin/cedega ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here is what i did: 1. /usr/lib/transgaming_point2play/Point2PlayRC --->> [winex] default=4.3.2 <4.3.2f>4.3.2=/user/lib/transgaming_cedega:/usr/bin/cedega ----------------------------------------------------------------- 2. ~/.point2playrc --->> [transgaming] gamedir=$HOME/.point2play [winex] <4.3.2f>4.3.2=/user/lib/transgaming_cedega:/usr/bin/cedega
