Now,I met the same question as message http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-devel/2002/05/0043.html I try to add apparently mapping of WM_IME_CHAR and friends to/from unicode in windows/winproc.c. bug nothing happens. Any suggestions ?

Re: warcraft 3
by Jesse Allen July 19, 2002

July 19, 2002

Hi, Here's how to get Warcraft 3 running under wine: 1. Use the latest wine cvs. Only that will work. 2. Mount the CD, and run install.exe on the CD with the winver set to win98 under config. (even though 95/98 are exactly the same when playing the game--i hate that) You should disable the ide-scsi thing because it seems to cause problems =( 3. Close the install program. Go to the directory where war3 is installed. mv the Movies folder to Movies backup. The game tries to display a movie clip on start in the retail, and it hangs wine =( 4. Download the NoCD patch for Warcraft 3 v1.00 (I don't know if 1.01 is out yet) at www.gamecopyworld.com. mv war3.exe and worldedit.exe to backup names. Copy in the patched program exe's. You may now run War3 if you wish. Warcraft 3 uses Safedisc v2. With this patch it will bypass it. Run war3 with the command "wine war3.exe -- -opengl". 5. To login battle.net, you need to bypass the exe check. With the patched version of the game, it won't work. So what I did to get it to work is moved the patched exe's to something like "war3_patched.exe" and create a symbolic link "war3.exe" that links to it. Start the game "war3.exe". To login to battle.net, open bash console. Change to the war3 directory, and reset the symbolic link to the original war3 exe, let it sleep 5 seconds, and then reset the symbolic link back to the patched version. While it's sleeping, you need to login into battle.net immediately. This is what I did to get D2 battle.net to work under wine. It should work for war3. You need to be the same version as battle.net for it to work though. (currently only 1.00 is availible for linux, and battle.net is 1.01) 6. To patch the game, you need to get the standalone patches. Set your symbolic link to the real exe's, and patch away =) The beta in contrast worked perfectly. The retail has a couple problems =(. The advantages I find running War3 under linux/wine/opengl, are higher framerates than on both real windows, and winex. And no graphics errors in comparison to winex d3d8, and no sound problems like under real windows. My three button mouse also works unlike windows. All these advantages =) Jesse

I wrote the regsvr.[hc] in dlls/comcat with the intent of their being useful for other dlls' self-registration. It should be possible to copy regsvr.h and regsvr.c, tweak the implementations of DllRegisterServer and DllUnregisterServer, and write the appropriate regsvr structure definitions, and have made another dll self-registerable. I would be willing to do that myself for other dlls if those responsible for them ask nicely. :-) This reminds me that a self-registerable dll is supposed to have a VS_VERSION_INFO resource, with an empty "OLESelfRegister" value in the "StringFileInfo" block. comcat.dll has no resources; is there a standard Wine way to add such version info?

libwine problem when calling GetModuleHandle(null) from C# on linux
by Steinar Herland July 19, 2002

July 19, 2002

I sent this post to comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine, but I'm hoping it's appropriate to send it to this list as well. My humble apologies if not. I have this very simple C# program compiled on linux using the lates mono (http://www.go-mono.com) ------- using System; using System.Runtime.InteropServices; class Win32Methods{ [DllImport("kernel32.dll")] public extern static IntPtr GetModuleHandleW(string lpModuleName); } class Class1 { [STAThread] static void Main(string[] args) { Console.WriteLine("GetModuleHandle(null): {0}", Win32Methods.GetModuleHandleW(null)); } } ------ When I run this on Windows (.NET) it prints out the module-handle. If I run it on linux using mono, I get: ------ err:heap:HEAP_GetPtr Invalid heap 00000000! GetModuleHandle(null): 0 ------ I have seen some old post suggesting that this error is due to opengl-build-problems, but i'm able to run notepad (the wine-version), which I assume call kernel32.GetModuleHandle as well. WineVersions tested: - wine-cvs-unstripped-071702-1.i386.rpm downloaded from http://wine.dataparty.no today - libwine version included on Mandrake 8.2. (Download Edition) I hope someone can help me with this, as I'm trying to use Wine to port the basics of the (Microsoft) System.Windows.Forms namespace in .NET to linux. Best Regards Steinar Herland

Possible Fix?
by Anthony Tuininga July 19, 2002

July 19, 2002

I installed Dynomite for Windows (from PopCap) into a Wine-only installation and noticed that as I moved the window, the images and sprites were offset by the corresponding amount. I added a return statement into the following file (updated from CVS as of today) and the problem went away almost completely. On occasion repainting still can be problematic but overall things work much better. windows/winpos.c, in function WINPOS_GetWinOffset() I simply returned immediately following the line which sets the X and Y offsets to 0. Now I suspect that the rest of the code is rather necessary in some instances but in this particular case it is getting in the road. Any comments? Anthony

Virtual Pages difference - Spotted with VirtualQuery()
by Max July 18, 2002

July 18, 2002

As usual, AutoCAD seems to be a good test-bench for wine :-) I spotted the problem that seemed coming from VirtualQuety function, but that is (I guess... hmmmm) more a problem of memory handling in wine. I made a little test app; here the results in wine and win2k, later on the app itself : WINE RESULTS : Memory info about '004012F0' : Base Address : 00401000 Allocation Base : 00400000 Allocation Protect : PAGE_READONLY | PAGE_WRITECOPY | PAGE_EXECUTE_READWRITE | PAGE_NOACCESS Region Size : 00017000 State : MEM_COMMIT Protect : PAGE_WRITECOPY <----- HERE Type : MEM_PRIVATE WIN2k RESULTS : Memory info about '004012F0' : Base Address : 00401000 Allocation Base : 00400000 Allocation Protect : PAGE_EXECUTE_WRITECOPY Region Size : 00001000 State : MEM_COMMIT Protect : PAGE_EXECUTE_READ <---- AND HERE Type : MEM_IMAGE Well, dunno too much about Type field, I didn't find an app that check it yet; I did find the app that uses Protect flag; I think it's poor coded, but as usual we should make bad apps work too :-) The app put some data in code page, not yet spotted if hard or soft-coded, then before reading it checks Protect field to see if it has not set the PAGE_GUARD, NO_ACCESS and WRITECOPY flags; if t has, it hangs some 10.000 lines later (sigh....) I think wine should set Protect flag quite as like as possible as windoze For AutoCAD2000 I put a dirty hack in process.c, but is really ugly; i'd prefer not to put my hands (bytes ?) too deeply inside some code that I don't understand completely... Attached is the test source (compiled in Borland CBuilder, but should work with any compiler, apart some unuseful pragma's). If needed I can post the compiled too :-) Regards Max

AutoCAD2000 again and CreateFiber
by Max July 18, 2002

July 18, 2002

Well, after the patch-hack-or whatever on VirtualQuery, AutoCAD2000 began coming alive ! Some problems yet, but one wonders me in particular : setting window version as win98 or winnt40, app shows an exception stating that CreateFiber function is not implemented; setting as win95 the apps starts quite well. Any idea ? Is there some plan to implement xxxxxFiber functions, or it's too difficult ? BTW, looking for help on the net, i haven't really understood the difference between a regular thread and a fiber (only caught that use of fibers instead of threads is somehow discouraged...)

I would like to run these applications which I have so far not found in the wine homepage to be supported: Rebirth 1.0 audio application, audio runs GOOD, but screen addressment Rebirth 2.01 audio application, audio runs GOOD, but screen addressment VGA Planets Winplan 3.5 front screen loads, but cannot play game Planets 4 front screen loads, but cannot play game Incubation (Battle Isle 4) title loads, but no sound 688i Hunter Killer title loads from cd, but gets stuck on front screen, no sound My versions are all registered and original so that is not sort of a shareware restriction, but a problem of tweak options for wine. i also stand in front of a wall when it comes to that the audio WORKS for the sound applications, but does not for the games. WONDER BIG TIME. Hello Austin!! I am currently trying out Wine as well. The programs I use (Rebirth and VGA Planets/Winplan) do work in part, but sort of problem lies in the SCREEN ADDRESSING. how should I twiddle that? example: appearance of NTpassword is under native windoze: user1 password1 info1 user2 password2 info2 user3 password3 info3 user4 password4 info4 user5 password5 info5 but under wine it is mixed up, sort of like this: user5 password2 info1 user1 password3 info2 user2 password4 info3 user3 password5 info4 user4 password1 info5 how can i fix that? it appears to be not a program, but a wine error. hope we can work this out together! -- *º¤., ¸¸,.¤º*¨¨¨*¤ =Oliver(a)home= *º¤., ¸¸,.¤º*¨¨*¤ I http://www.bmw-roadster.de/Friends/Olli/olli.html I I http://www.bmw-roadster.de/Friends/friends.html I I http://groups.yahoo.com/group/VGAP-93 I I http://home.t-online.de/home/spacecraft.portal I >>> Telek0ma iBBMS - soon back online +49.4503.TRSi1/TRSi2 <<<
