Vertex Buffer Objects for WineD3D
by Stefan Dösinger 13 Jun '06

13 Jun '06

Hi, In the last days I've been working on using the OpenGL vertex buffer objects extension for IWineD3DVertexBuffer. The aims of this were: * Store geometry data in the hardware for more efficient rendering * Convert the colors and rhw values on upload and get rid of drawStridedSlow The result is in this diff, and it basically works, although not as good as I've hoped. It gives a nice performance boost to Battlefield 1942, and is an improvement for Half-Life 2, but it is not perfect yet. The main shortcomings are: * Shader support: I'm afraid that the conversion code at this points breaks shaders. I've tested with battlefield 1942. The vertex shaders in this game don't work correctly yet, the hands of soldiers are missing and there are some incorrect planes with odd colors. However, with this patch the hands are drawn as apparently random vertices all over the screen. I think I'll need a little help from the shader people for that. * The vertex conversion is slow, and it turned out that if the app Locks the Buffer every frame then drawStridedSlow is faster Converting + drawStridedSlow. Because of that VBOs and the conversion aren't used for vertex buffers in system memory and vbs with WINED3DUSAGE_DYNAMIC are not loaded into a vbo. * In Direct3D7 there is no way for the app to specify a range of vertices to be locked. Because of that DX7 apps are generally slower if they update the vertices regularily. To avoid that drawback there is no VBO created for DX7 apps if they have vertex data that needs conversion. The geometry in DX7 apps is usually quite simple, so DrawStridedSlow isn't a big performance hit in those apps. Stefan

What is needed to get more sites with a winetest executable
by Paul Vriens 13 Jun '06

13 Jun '06

Hi, in the last months we've experienced several times that there was no winetest.exe available at the usual location (http://www.astro.gla.ac.uk/users/paulm/WRT/CrossBuilt/) for several days/weeks. The reasons are sometimes known but in any case it's a Single Point Of Failure. What will it take to have multiple sites generating and hosting the winetest executable? Or do we already have this? Cheers, Paul.

wined3d: Another GLSL shader status update
by Jason Green 13 Jun '06

13 Jun '06

Well, I've fixed the speed issues with using GLSL (it's now just as fast as ARB shaders for the ones that actually work correctly) and gotten a few other things to work correctly. However, I'm still having issues with certain pixel/vertex shader combinations. Ohsix caught on that it may have to do with sampler limits on graphics cards and how sampling/textures are handled different in GLSL that with ARB. I'm not sure at the moment and could use some help. http://cmhousing.net/wine/glsl_hack6.diff is the diff against the most recent git tree. There are still some ugly hacks lying around in there. Note that I've separated out most of the GLSL functions into a new file "glsl_shader.c". Once again, to use GLSL instead of ARB shaders, you'll have to apply this patch, have a graphics card that's capable of GLSL, and add the following case senstive registry key: HKCU\Software\Wine\Direct3D\UseGLSL = "enabled" (String value)

comctl32.dll: Running siap and modules under wine, first steps
by Maximiliano Curia 12 Jun '06

12 Jun '06

Hi, I'm trying to use a program called "siap"[1] under wine. It's the required program to pay taxes that the Argentinian government uses. So, it's quite important for the free software community in Argentina to be able to use it in a free software environment. However, I haven't heard of any real success on it, so far. I've been trying to make it run using winetools[2], and differents versions of wine. The furthest I've gone, has been with version 20050310 and all the "plugins" that winetools provides, installed. Only then, could I install the application, run it, switch between the different modules (although it worked only sometimes), but I can't really use it. There are a couple of important widgets that seem to be incompatible with wine. But as I'm not an expert neither in Windows nor in wine, the one I could really track down is a TreeView widget (from comctl32.dll) (from the main window of the program), that is not fully implemented in wine, and by using a native comctl32.dll (I tried using the win98, winme, win2k libraries) the widget would work but some of the other stuff, like switching to one of the modules wouldn't. I made a screenshot to make this clearer, the wine version[3] and the w2k version[4]. So, what should I do next? Is there some documentation of how to implement a certain Windows widget in wine? Is anybody working in this dll, or has worked on this widget? I'd appreciate any comments. Thanks, [1] http://www.afip.gov.ar/programas/siap_main.asp (spanish only) [2] http://www.von-thadden.de/Joachim/WineTools/ [3] http://gnuservers.com.ar/~maxy/wine/siap-wine.png [4] http://gnuservers.com.ar/~maxy/wine/siap-w2k.png -- Saludos, /\/\ /\ >< `/

WM_GETICON patch
by Chris 12 Jun '06

12 Jun '06

Here's a patch I'm trying to make to implement the WM_GETICON message, which programs like GeoShell (a Win32 taskbar replacement) would use to get a taskbar icon for the running processes. I'm not quite sure if it's proper or not, though. Originally GeoShell would show no icon on the taskbar and print a lot of fixme messages about it being unsupported. With this patch it now (always) shows the Wine glass icon for programs, with no such fixme messages. Since I'm unable to try it on a real Windows machine, I don't know if it's the right behavior for it to always show the generic icon like that. Feedback and help would be appreciated.

Gnome and KDE wine configuration tools
by Vijay Kiran Kamuju 12 Jun '06

12 Jun '06

Hi, I was just looking at browsing net for some linux stuff. I just happend to see some news related to wine Wine-doors : ------------------ Its just a wine installation utility for GNOME with preliminary(very basic and primitive) wine configuration.It has support for multiple installations, from screenshots i think so. I got this news from here http://gnomedesktop.org/node/2689, and more information can be got from its web site http://www.wine-doors.org/ Guidance : --------------- Its not completely wine configuration utility, but a general purpose system configuration utility for KDE. It now has got some module for configuring WINE also. I got this news from http://dot.kde.org/1150047999/. I havent tested it, but it can be got from here http://www.simonzone.com/software/guidance/ Conclusion, its for you all to decide which is the best tool. And not to forget give some valuable inputs to the developers to improve. Thanks, Vijay
