Passing along parameters to wine

Hi,

I'm running some games with wine, which basically works just fine. I now want to add some start parameters, something like "+dedicated 0" or "+sv_cheats 1".

In Windows you attach these parameters just to the path of the link, so the path looks something like "filename.exe -dedicated 0". I'm now trying to do this with wine, but don't have any luck .

I have tried the following:

wine CoDMP.exe -dedicated 2

The game starts, but ignores any parameters I pass along.

wine "CoDMP.exe -dedicated 2"

The game doesnt start:

[johnpatcher@vostro Call of Duty]$ wine "CoDMP.exe -dedicated 0"wine: could not load L"C:\\windows\\system32\\CoDMP.exe -dedicated 0": Module not found

So how can I pass parameters along with wine? I mean there are a couple of applications which can be controlled by such parameters, so there must be a way to pass them along, isn't there?

Best regards

So what should I do, if it doesn't?
