System Shock 2 Working (Almost)
by OverrideX May 17, 2003

May 17, 2003

Hey guys, I don't know if anyone else has but I've been trying to get system shock 2 working with wine for quite some time. It segfaults with the latest versions of winex, but with a cvs of wine from 20030115 it works! Menus, sound and 3D all seem to be working fine, except for some slight texture corruption on things like door handles. The problem is the 2D overlay stuff - the HUD, inventory, etc. are all missing which makes it unplayable. I saw on some other forum that it had been added to either wine or winex... anyone have any ideas? Another problem is that ss2 no longer seems to work with the newer wine builds (20030327 at least) it just displays a message that says video card not supported. So, I'd just like to know if the 2D stuff may work in the latest wines or not, and if so how to fix the video card not supported message - thanks for any info :) -Dan -- OverrideX <overridex(a)punkass.com> GPG Key Fingerprint = 4AD5 CE9C D7C8 0069 BDD3 7F72 3AB2 642A 5A5D EB89 Woody: What's going on, Mr. Peterson?

Callbacks while app is looping
by Mark Westcott May 4, 2003

May 4, 2003

Hi all, I've been working on fixing the crash in 'Gens' when trying to reassign keys. The app basically does a: while (1) { IDIRECTINPUTINTERFACE::GetDeviceState(); } Until it notices a key has been pressed. DirectInput hooks onto system keyboard events with SetWindowsHookEx(WH_KEYBOARD_LL........), but while the app is doing its nasty while(1) loop, DirectInput's callback procedure never gets called. This is as far as I can get (new to wine) - any ideas anyone? I threw a test case app that illustrates the problem (btw, the WH_KEYBOARD_LL hook has the note 'should use SendMessage instead', but I don't get what this means or know if using SendMessage instead would have anything to do with fixing this problem) -------- Mark Westcott

No console output?
by Juan Lang May 4, 2003

May 4, 2003

I'm trying to run a console program with wineconsole, and I see fixme output from the DLL I'm working on, but no output from my program. Any patches I should be applying? Wine20030408 on RH "phoebe" (8.1-ne-9 beta). FWIW, I'm working on iphlpapi.dll. I might take a crack at consolidating some duplicated code in netapi32, winsock, and wsock32 if I have time.

Re: Avoid non-portable signal(SIGCHLD, SIG_IGN)

The fact that the macro exists doesn't mean it works. Most Linux kernels don't support SA_NOCLDWAIT, even though the symbol may be defined in the headers. I don't have the Posix standard, but at least according to the single Unix spec using SIG_IGN is just as standard as SA_NOCLDWAIT, and a quick grep of the FreeBSD sources seems to indicate that it should work.

WineHQ: email trouble
by Dimitrie O. Paun May 1, 2003

May 1, 2003

Folks, Whazzup with winehq.org? I get duplicated emails, and more importantly the latency on the wine-*(a)winehq.org mailing lists is measured in (many) hours instead of seconds. What gives? -- Dimi.

iphlpapi.dll implementation
by Juan Lang May 1, 2003

May 1, 2003

Folks, in case anyone's looking, I've implemented most of the Get* functions of ip helper API included in Windows NT4 or Windows 98. I'm not planning to implement functions added in Win2K or XP at this time. Email me if interested. No, it's not vaporware, it's just not as well tested as I'd like. I'm hoping to tackle reducing code duplication in this DLL, wsock32, and netapi, and also remove wsock32's dependency on the UNIX socket includes. This has all been discussed before here in this thread: http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-devel/2001/09/0042.html For interface enumeration and address (IP and MAC) getting, I use ioctls. This should aid portability (I've tested the ioctls on Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris). Stats I still read from /proc. All this stuff is in its own file to keep less-portable code together.

Native ms progs and mybe wine 1.1
by hatky April 30, 2003

April 30, 2003

I opened a metabug that I hope some of you will like where I try to "Get native windows programs working" bug 1424 Think of it: dxdiag is a great test case for the directX part (direct draw,direct 3d, sound, music, direct play...) ftp,telnet,ping,tracert can show who good the network code is defrag will mybe show who great low level hardware accses is ? what will it do with a non fat paritation? do I hear a challange? I don't know what the rest of you think, but a big bug tree looks cool to me becouse you know you can fix something little and to how many other things it helps so this tree may get a bit big.... I don't hear no objections :) I hope some of you will help with it a bit and I think it can be a nice start for the wine 1.1 guildlines hoping to get excited responces Hatky. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

by Sylvain Petreolle April 30, 2003

April 30, 2003

Trying to run a dos program with parameters, the first parameter is eaten by winevdm. at wcmd prompt, i run : dos32a d2demo.exe and dos32a answers : syntax is DOS32A <execname.xxx> which never happened before. A small asm tutorial program about dos psp shows this problem. (attached) run "wine winevdm.exe psp.com 1 2 3 4" , it will say : Les param?tres suivants ont ?t? transmis : 2 3 4 ===== Sylvain Petreolle (spetreolle at users dot sourceforge dot net) ICQ #170597259 No more War !
