Problem : f2 periodically trying to load missing game file(s), while mouse pointer is on mane part of screen WINEDEBUG=warn+ntdll wine fallout2.exe would show which exactly. Obviously, workaround is to put it there. data/Art/intrface/blank.frm was the one most flooding, so using http://falloutmods.wikia.com/wiki/FRM_File_Format I've hexedited 2x2 blank pic, Would be great, if someone better understanding its attrs, namely offset things, would make (or simply find in self f2 version, my installation lacks it) less ugly cursor -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

[Bug 421] Implement a DIB engine
by wine-bugs＠winehq.org 07 Aug '11

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=421 --- Comment #431 from pyro_1v1aniac(a)yahoo.com 2011-08-07 06:47:45 CDT --- Wow... What an ass. I just wanna say, I've been through the ups and downs with this one over the years, and I'm extremely grateful (and always have been) for the hard work and dedication of the devs on projects like this. With what little I know of this sort of coding, I know it's horrible, usually thankless work. It's a shame Max's dib engine never made it into the main wine tree, whether it was for political or implementation reasons, but I want to thank him for the 2 or so years I was able to play Age of Empires II: The Conqueors on my linux box before the main wine tree would no longer compile with his engine. You made my computing experience a bit better and I gave you nothing for it. I'm also excited about the work Huw is putting in, but I can be patient in the knowledge that some day it'll work, like so much stuff from Linux has in the past. I feel it's worth noting here that on the latest version of Windows, many of the games and applications affected by this bug no longer function, and it's from this we can see one of the great things about this community; As microsoft leaves a wake of broken software behind with each new version, projects like Wine continue to improve compatibility, even with old software from another platform. I'm keeping the faith in you guys, and I want you to know not everyone is a detractor. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

[Bug 18255] New: Tom Clancy's Ghost Squad: terrain textures not displayed on Core2 Duo PC
by wine-bugs＠winehq.org 07 Aug '11

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18255 Summary: Tom Clancy's Ghost Squad: terrain textures not displayed on Core2 Duo PC Product: Wine Version: unspecified Platform: PC-x86-64 URL: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version &iId=3666 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: directx-d3d AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: wine-bugzilla(a)lovingboth.com Game installs and runs ok, however terrain displays are solid black (Ubuntu 8.10 x64 with Wine 1.1.19) or solid light blue grey (Ubuntu 8.10 x64 with Wine 1.1.19 or 1.1.20). So for example, trees have the right shape and happily wave in the wind, but are black / grey. I can see the terrain in Igor.exe (the game's mission editor) and the sky / characters / overlays like the grass in the first (caves) mission are fine. This happens regardless of screen resolution, buffer depth, texture quality, texture compression or mipmap settings. It is also unaffected by running on one CPU core or two, or OpenGL's 'sync to VBlanck' setting. Textures display ok on Athlon64 PC with 2G RAM, Ubuntu 9.04 x64, Nvidia 6150. Problem on Core2 Duo PC with 8G RAM, Ubuntu 9.04 x64, Nvidia 8500GT which runs several other games (e.g. Thief 2, The Thing) fine. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=421 --- Comment #428 from James McKenzie <jjmckenzie51(a)gmail.com> 2011-08-06 17:18:28 CDT --- (In reply to comment #425) > Hurry the f*ck up. Huw has been working on this for several YEARS and finally has a .plan to implement most, if not all, of the DIB functionality. This WILL TAKE TIME. This 'bug' is almost ten years old and many people, Max included, have picked up and had to put this down because of the complexity of DIB engine implementation. And your comment certainly will NOT speed things up. Each addition has to be thoroughly tested to insure that nothing existing is broken. There is a phrase that goes back in this project, this project, like it's real world liquid beverage gets better over time. Some things have to 'brew' for years before they are consumable. Patience is the best thing for both. In other words, no code will be added before it's time and it has appropriately 'fermented' and is implemented properly and with much forethought. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

Surprised too about lack of information, but anyways.... who cares ? Soon or late it'll be completed, I hope soon, of course. I've *not* looked at current Huw's implementation.... I lost interest in DIB engine long time ago. It's just a pity that my patchset got broken, so who needs the "old" dib engine should stay with an older wine version too. I just tested the actual implementation, but, for my purposes, it doesn't speed up anything. Your mileage may vary, of course. AFAIK, most of apps needing it needs font drawing speedup, and there's still no trace of dib font drawing in new engine, and that one isn't a trivial task. My engine implemented it with some glitches, but at least it was usable. Also, I've got no idea if Huw is grabbing something of my code or not, but I guess not. BTW, as a user, I would have liked something a bit more useful, or at least something which wouldn't break completely the "old almost working engine", as many people used it, but of course it's not under my control. Nor I've time to rebase the old one on current three, mostly because, as far as I can see, the interface is still changing too much and it'll be a very time consuming task. So, cross your fingers (as usual) and hope :-) Ciao Max -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
