I'm switching this thread to wine-devel as TransGaming do in fact make the virtual C drive visible by default and it's maybe something we should do too. On the other hand, it might just be wallpapering over other usability problems (lack of menu integration, most obviously). How often does average jack need to go poking around C:\Program Files in real Windows? thanks -mike

DirectX blitter bug
by Mike Hearn 06 Jun '06

06 Jun '06

Lords of Magic works perfectly EXCEPT that rendering is corrupted when it is using DirectX "fast blitting"; they provide a software emulated workaround for some truly ancient cards (Matrox Mystique anyone?) and the game works well in this mode. But it should work properly in DirectX accelerated mode too. The kind of corruption varies but it appears as, for instance, mouse trails which to me suggests some kind of co-ordinate system problem. The demo is here: ftp://ftp.sierra.com/pub/sierra/lordsofmagic/demos/si_lordsofmagic_demo.exe and it installs cleanly on the master branch. If any DirectDraw gurus want to take a look, please do! I bet this problem affects other games too.... thanks -mike

Anyway what windows do if (start + count > MAX_VSHADER_CONSTANTS) ? The code seems handle this case truncating the input Best Regards, Raphael

Re: winedbg: remove unneeded states from grammar
by Eric Pouech 06 Jun '06

I'm not sure they are unneeded. for example, with your changes, b down would be seen by the grammar as tBREAKPOINT tDOWN which is not what we want.

GetDIBits() with a bitmap that is selected in a device context
by Michael Kaufmann 06 Jun '06

06 Jun '06

The application "Fritz 5.32" calls GetDIBits() with a bitmap that is still selected in a device context (see bug 3893). The bitmap has a color table. GetDIBits() creates a memory DC, selects the bitmap into this DC, and calls GetDIBColorTable(). But this fails, because Wine can't select this bitmap in a memory device context again. According to MSDN, calling GetDIBits with a bitmap that is selected in a device context is not allowed. But surprisingly it works on Windows. Does anybody have an idea how to solve this problem? Regards, Michael

[Fwd: Re: msi patch submission - cond.y]
by Dominic Wise 05 Jun '06

05 Jun '06

I may be wrong, but I feel it might be useful for a naive outsider to enter this discussion, even if it does mean I get burnt to a crisp. I'm neither a Wine nor a parser developer (though I do have a few years C/++ experience) and fully accept that I may be flamed to a tiny cinder for my comments, but from what I can ascertain, cond.y is a composite file, containing C and bison code. As far as I can tell (not quite brave enough to say AFAICT) the file is first read by the bison processor, which reads the bison parser rules and C code and generates compilable files for the C compiler. Having read what bison is (I think) supposed to do, the tokens declared DO look is if they might be wrong [having looked up 'tilde' and MSI on Google, it looks as though COND_I* actually relates to strings, as it seems that the tilde means 'case insensitive', but I wonder if it has been inadvertently used on integer comparisons by some installers]. It also looks as if the tests in compare_int() for COND_LE and COND_ILE may be wrong, unless there is some kind of (uncommented) logic inversion somewhere. However, uppermost in my mind is Mike McCormack's statement that 'Unfortunately cond.y has nothing to do with SQL.'. If this is indeed the case then everything I have said amounts to nought because I have assumed (very likely incorrectly) that the parser code in cond.y, being part of the MSI dll, relates to the parsing of SQL statements in MSI. If this is the case I fully expect to burn in newbie-land, and apologise for my presumption. Torch me if you want. Just trying to help, and open the discussion :)
