It is extremely common for any game to use DirectInput, and it is always in cooperative mode unless the game is fullscreen. This affects nearly all games that have a mouse-controlled view turning behavior. > What games use co-operative mouse, anyway? I thought co-operative mouse would > generally be used by non-game things that want to read the mouse while > something else is nominally in charge (VoIP software, things like that program > with the cat chasing your mouse cursor around the screen) I do not know of very many applications that use DirectInput, but I know of many games, I do not need to list the many affected games as they should all be linked to this bug already. Here is the usage pattern in question: 1. Open a window. 2. Attach D3D context. 3. Activate DI cooperative mode. 4. Each frame, poll DI events and utilize either the current mouse position (for a mouse-driven user interface such as in RTS and RPG games, as well as in menus of all games) or the delta (to look around) - wine is not notified of which information is desired. 5. The mouse pointer is hidden or shown according to the whims of the game, Wine does not reliably know which behavior the game is using at any given moment, and both pieces of data (position and delta) must be valid at all times. When operating with plain X11 input, the only data that can be obtained is the current mouse position, and measuring deltas from this causes border problems. When I do ports of games to Linux, I have to replace the DI cooperative mode mechanism used in the game with two different modes of operation in X11 - show mouse pointer and behave normally like an application, or hide pointer and warp it back to center frequently frame to get deltas (or use DGA to get the deltas directly without acceleration). The problem I mentioned is that Wine may have to show the mouse pointer and report deltas at the same time on plain X11 (no DGA, no XInput2), and to this end it might have to draw a mouse pointer before the glXSwapBuffers occurs (in both D3D and GL cases), however this does not help regular applications. With DGA the mouse movement can be reliably faked based on the deltas. I do not know if XInput2 will live up to the promises and solve this bug, I certainly hope so and I fully support the idea of implementing an XInput2 solution first - but I still see a need to solve this bug with DGA and plain X11 as well, for users who do not have XInput2 yet. Note for implementors of delta reading on plain X11: Each time a mouse move is parsed, it produces a delta from the previous position, however if the mouse position is getting dangerously near the borders (typically whenever it's out of the middle area of the window) a warp is needed to re-center it, this warp produces a move as well and must be ignored - to do this, XSendEvent is used to produce a fake mouse move event in the X11 stream, which updates the "last known" position variables but does not produce a delta (by checking the .send_event flag on the event these fake moves can be filtered out, it is always True if the event is produced by XSendEvent), then when the real mouse move from XWarpPointer comes in immediately after the fake one, it produces no delta because the "last known" position is already the same. This is the basic mode of operation of all Linux games that require delta movement when DGA is not available. -- 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.

I've tried the following versions of wine. 1.1.5 (game loads but at character select and in game no models) 1.1.6 (game loads but at character select and in game no models) 1.1.12 (game loads but at character select and in game no models) 1.1.28 (game loads but at character select and in game no models) 1.1.32 (game loads but at character select and in game no models) 1.1.34 (game loads but after server selection, game crashes on loading character models) I have also tried all versions of wine with the modification to $WINEVERSION$/dlls/d3d9/device.c ---- START BELOW ---- Add this line: pCaps->MaxVertexBlendMatrices=0x4; In file: (your wine source directory)/dlls/d3d9/device.c At function: IDirect3DDevice9Impl_GetDeviceCaps(LPDIRECT3DDEVICE9 iface, D3DCAPS9* pCaps) ---- END ---- recompiled Wine (each time) with no errors. (i have all the devel libraries) used 'wineserver -k' used the hacked d3dx9_30.dll in the EverQuest directory. got my own from Windows and Hacked it manually 'ghex2'. Used different drivers from Nvidia, from the latest 190.x to older ones down to 100.x (plus the kmod and xorg-nvidia modules). I've built the kernel modules both through automatic setup and also manually. I even ran into the "Mouse Cursor is stuck" bug, and can only run Everquest in "Windowed Mode". but other than that, I am using Angelique's eqclient.ini file and hacked .dll. I'm stuck. Also downloaded and installed Cedega, Everquest won't even load.. (or I am not setting it up right, but I cannot find any bugs or errors in it). The error I get in the output is the AL16 and R6 with the Textures, I think. (I am at work atm, and forgot to pull the log) -- 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.
