Hello.

It has been almost 10 years since I did anything with Future Pinball. The current version that I have (and I think latest from the official site) is 1.9.1.20091231. Thought I'd have a new look at it and some of my projects, only this time I thought I'd run it on my new Ubuntu 16.04 machine with wine-3.14 (Staging). Took some doing before it played nicely, being installing vb6run, wsh56js, wsh56vb and wsh57, as well as adding oleaut32 (native, builtin) to the Libraries. However, there is one problem with the editor. Almost all drop-down menus for things like Model, Texture, Type and ImageList are empty. Nothing is written in them when closed, and when I click there is nothing in the list. I have attempted to install all fonts through winetricks in case it was a missing font problem but that did not help. What could be the problem here?

 

/Edward
