notes: "Because this is an old game, you will run into the same issues as Windows\
\ 8/10 users. So a few steps need to be taken to make it run, get support for 16/9\
\ and 16/10 resolutions, and get the latest patch so all mods which require it can\
\ be installed.\r\n\r\nThis game is abandonware so it can be found here:\r\nhttps://www.myabandonware.com/game/star-trek-starfleet-command-iii-bde\r\
\n\r\nSection one - Base install\r\nSteps:\r\nInstall the game.\r\nDo not install\
\ DirectX 8.\r\nDo not install GameSpy.\r\n\r\nDownload the 3.2 Upgrade Mod:\r\n\
https://www.moddb.com/games/star-trek-starfleet-command-3/downloads/sfc-upgrade-mod-3-2-all-in-one\r\
\n\r\nExtract the archive.\r\nRun the following exe files in the Wine prefix: \r\
\n<sfc-upgrade-mod-3-2-all-in-one>/JanB Extras/Patch v354b/Patch v534b Installer.exe\r\
\n<sfc-upgrade-mod-3-2-all-in-one>/SFC3 Upgrade Mod 3.2 Setup.exe\r\n\r\nChoose\
\ the resolution you want to run. The largest recommended resolution is 1920x1080.\r\
\n\r\nIn Lutris go into the settings of the Wine prefix, Runner options and enable\
\ the virtual desktop and enter the resolution.\r\n\r\nOn the file system navigate\
\ to <sfc-upgrade-mod-3-2-all-in-one>/JanB Extras/ directory.\r\n\r\nIf there is\
\ a directory with your resolution then copy the files in that directory to the\
\ root directory of the game.\r\n\r\nIf there isn't a directory with your resolution\
\ but you do have a 16/9 or 16/10 resolution then you can copy the files in the\
\ 169 or 1610 directory.\r\n\r\nOpen sfc.ini which is located in the root directory\
\ of the game.\r\n\r\nMake sure windowed equals 0 (zero):\r\nwindowed=0\r\n\r\n\
Make sure makeitso equals 1 (one):\r\nmakeitso=1\r\n\r\nThat should be all you need\
\ to run the game.\r\n\r\nSection Two - Battle the Unable to save model cache error\r\
\nThe reason for the d3dxof winetrick\r\nWithout this winetrick the game will be\
\ unable to perform write actions. Settings won't be saved and when entering a mission\
\ you will be greeted with a \"Unable to save model cache\" error.\r\n\r\nWhile\
\ testing it became apparent that the method below works too. I left this for others\
\ who may need this information. There was only one place on the Internet which\
\ covered this issue but only half so.\r\n\r\nSteps:\r\nOpen the file manager from\
\ Lutris and navigate to the C:\\Windows\\System32 directory.\r\nLook up d3dxof.dll\
\ and rename it to d3dxof.dll_ (put an underscore behind the file extension)\r\n\
Mount the original CD and open the DirectX/DirectX.cab archive;\r\nExtract d3dxof.dll\
\ to the game main directory;\r\nGo into the Wine Configuration and set d3dxof.dll\
\ to native, builtin.\r\n\r\nA little background on the cinematics\r\nWhen the patches\
\ are installed you will notice that the intro videos are not showing any more.\
\ This is because the SFC3 Upgrade Mod 3.2 Setup patch replaces these videos with\
\ zero length versions.\r\n\r\nReplacing these with the originals will crash the\
\ game. I think that is because the game wants to switch to 640x480. It works when\
\ I enable the windowed mode in sfc3.ini but as this is the cause of the black screen\
\ (also under Windows) this option is unusable. So I think the creators of the patch\
\ choose just to disable these videos."
