[Bug 13988] New: Spore Creature Creator Trial

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13988

Summary: Spore Creature Creator Trial
           Product: Wine
           Version: CVS/GIT
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Interface buttons are not being rendered.  The main screen with the galaxy
simply shows the galaxy (which is very bright).

You can click around and actually click the buttons (new creature or load
creature) you just cannot see them.

In the editor, the same applies, the creature and background renders, but the
interface to the left does not.  Moving the mouse over the buttons shows the
button, but they are invisible until you rollover them.

(This is my first bug report, I am new to this contributing thing, please be
kind and thanks!)

I notice I get lots and lots of these:
fixme:d3d_texture:IWineD3DBaseTextureImpl_ApplyStateChanges Unrecognized or
unsupported D3DSAMP_MINFILTER value 3 D3DSAMP_MIPFILTER value 3

I assume that has something to do with the galaxy rendering way too bright?
Just a guess.

Looks like a problem with fonts. I copied over all my fonts from my
windowspartition to ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/Fonts/

then it seems to start fine. See screenshot.didn't test anything futher (go
sleep now ;) )

is drawn before the creature is loaded, but not after.

After installing fonts I still have non interactive screen issue

Before and after coping my fonts from my windows partion I remain to have the
same issue as last night.

I still have the following issue...

fixme:d3d_texture:IWineD3DBaseTextureImpl_ApplyStateChanges Unrecognized or
unsupported D3DSAMP_MINFILTER value 3 D3DSAMP_MIPFILTER value 3

The code throws this if D3DSAMP_MIPFILTER is above 2.

This screen is not interactive at all for me... the music plays but thats about
it.

Click randomly around the top right corner of that pop up, and you will
eventually close it. Then click just to the right of the center of the galaxy
for the creature creator.

I've tried the font copy, no result (no difference that is).
I've also tried (I know, but it was worth a try and helped in one other game)
installing directx, again, no change.

Still searching for hope somewhere, but I fear we are at the mercy of someone
who knows what they are doing to see and try to whack at this bug.

The trial's gui is messed up, and the retail version (I bought it for the kid
on their windows box) doesn't start at all in wine.

I'm a c/c++ programmer with some OpenGL experience... the part thats tough for
me is that I haven't had the exposure to Direct X enough or to the nuts and
bolts of wine to contribute on my own. I guess I can email the last maintainer
of the direct X stuff...  Anyone have some suggestions?

It would seem to me as if the entirety of the problem lies within the order of
rendering, it seems as if the depth and order of rendering makes items
incorrectly be on top of others, such as certain 3d models in front of the ui
(as seen in the case with the before and after creature loading in sporepedia)
and certain 2d elements drawing on top of 3d models when they should be drawn
behind them (see: creature testing, plant and ground render over the model
rather than underneath)

Mac version of Spore uses Cider, which one is based on wine code. Inside the
spore.app file, there is a c_drive, just like wine.

Do you think cider's version of Spore is different than Windows one? Do you
think they changed cider to run the game or changed the game to run on cider?

No, MAC users are experiencing the same issues as well - bright galaxy and no
UI. We both experience the same bug, so there is definitely an issue.

Some have had very limited success by altering a file in spore, or a registry
entry, neither worked for me.

I don't believe you're completely correct; I can't speak for all mac users, but
I am able to run the Spore Creature Creator trial with no problems on my
MacBook Air.  I am aware that Spore on Mac is unsupported on some video cards,
but that there is a workaround (see tuaw's June 17th article)

Sorry, you are correct.  That article is what I saw a few nights ago and just
typed before I thought.

So we are affected by a bug that is only affected in unsupported video card in
Cider?  I know my video card is sufficient, I run the trial and retail in
windows with full settings and not a blip...

When I run SporeCC on my mac, I see 3 different logo screens appear before the
galaxy spiral, while with the latest wine.git I only see the first EA notice
about copyright.  I believe this also may be a symptom of the same underlying
condition as this bug.  During the times when I would expect the new logo
screens to appears, I see the message,
"fixme:d3d_texture:IWineD3DBaseTextureImpl_ApplyStateChanges Unrecognized or
unsupported D3DSAMP_MINFILTER value 3 D3DSAMP_MIPFILTER value 3" between a
large number of repitions of "fixme:imm:ImmGetOpenStatus (0x1427c0):
semi-stub".  
I see this same message almost constantly while the game is running.

The ApplyStateChanges message is produced by code in
wine/dlls/wined3d/basetexture.c that does bounds checking on what texture
filter modes wine supports.  The value of 3 for D3DSAMP_MIPFILTER corresponds
to anisotropic filtering, which is supported by D3DSAMP_MINFILTER but not
D3DSAMP_MIPFILTER.  In order to correct for this lack of support, the code
right after this check assigns the filter to the highest value between NONE and
the highest level of filter it(wine) supports.  In this case it would be, I
believe, WINED3DTEXF_LINEAR for WINED3DTEXSTA_MIPFILTER(the wine version of
D3DSAMP_MIPFILTER).

Please be aware that this is just my rough and possibly incorrect understanding
of what is going on.  It also completely irrelevant to solving this bug.

I am not so sure that it is the mipmapping which is causing the issue which
Eric pointed out might be the cause. Surely the mipmap option shouldn't end up
with it not displaying the UI at all as it just deals with the way the images
are blended when stretched? (or something along those lines)

I think it has something to do with the shaders, the contrast on the game is
extremely high. For example on the first screen that pops up when running the
demo there is a spore cartoon background, but it's barely visible and the black
text is grey. Perhaps this is a completely different issue from the UI, in
which case I have no idea what else it could be.

As of git version wine-1.1.2-151-gc2c1a55 i see a lot of these now when trying
the demo (I try once and a while, hoping that another bugfix or addition
improves things):

fixme:d3d_shader:shader_glsl_load_constants >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
GL_INVALID_OPERATION (0x502) from glUniform4fvARB @ glsl_shader.c / 411
fixme:d3d_shader:shader_glsl_load_constantsF >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
GL_INVALID_OPERATION (0x502) from glUniform4fvARB() @ glsl_shader.c / 231

The terminal fills up and it just repeats until I exit the demo.  Does this
point us to a better direction or idea?  I have very little coding experience
and don't really know what any of it means.

I'm in the middle of one.

This seems to have caused the flawed depth ordering (grass in front of the
creature, limbs in the wrong order ..).

I'm currently bisecting the UI rendering bug.

This entirely valid looking fix

http://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/?a=commit;h=59a43c4cc9cfb5056988c0d2cc...

My mistake, I made a boo-boo somewhere and re-did it all.  All is well now, ui
and all!  (awesome!)

Side note:  I do have to turn off all the debug messages (WINEDEBUG=-all) so
the cpu isn't hogged during the game.  The error messages are a plenty (and
harmless).

Thank you!

My only complaint now is the retail version's bug about connecting to ea's

If you want to filter the most common console messages, but still keep an
overview of them, here's a small tool: http://demented.no-ip.org/test18

Just run wine [spore] 2>&1 |./test18

Sorry for the filesize; it's statically linked with SDL and SDL_ttf.

It uses colored bars to represent what were for me the three most common error
messages, and prints the rest to the console as usual.

If 0.9.46 isn't working for you, the patch can't help you, as it was intended
to fix a regression (?) from 0.9.46.

Sorry, I forgot which exact revision it broke in. The breaking change was made
in Nov-14 2007, so all releases before that should work (unless they have other
problems).

I just tried the patch again and it's now working!

You need to run spore with safe mode on..

WINEDEBUG=-all wine SporeCreatureCreator.exe -w -r 800x600 -safe

If you don't do this then the patch doesn't work. This is because -safe sets
the following variables in ConfigManager.txt in C:\Program Files\Electronic
Arts\SPORE\Data\Config

if ($safeMode)

alert "Running in safe mode" -info

setOption OptionLighting      $Low

setOption OptionShadows       $Low

setOption OptionEffects       $Low

setOption OptionTextureDetail $Medium

setOption OptionPlanetQuality       $Low

setOption OptionAudioPerformance    $Low

setOption OptionPhotoRes            $Low

setOption OptionVideoRes            $Low

endif

I found that setting OptionEffects, OptionAudioPerformance and OptionVideoRes
to high made the game not show the UI.

How spore is randomly brighter on startup (if text is grey, no UI shows)

I think that another problem exists somewhere as the user interface doesn't
load every time.

You can tell when it is not going to load as the text of the first screen looks
grey instead of black. (see attachment) Everything looks brighter then it
should be and the EA logo doesn't load.

This happens a lot but mysteriously I have noticed it happens less after
compiling and installing wine? Anyway, it's purely random if the UI shows up or
not.

By looking at both Rico's patch
(http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=15501) and the patch here by
default_357-line. I made a new patch which is kind of a combination of the two.

The patch gets rid of the UI bug, the part descriptions not showing bug and the
problem with the creature being hidden behind the grass.

I have run the program over 20 times and it runs every time correctly even if I
change all the settings in ConfigManager.txt to "$High".

This is FYI:

I have Spore - the final game. Don't ask how.

With Wine 1.0 on Fedora 9 x86_64 it installs and works. The interface is
rendered properly. I can play the game. However, it seems that the "ground" in
the cell phase of life is not rendered as an effect like "mouse trails" happens
as objects leave behind their trail. Also on land, the ground is not rendered,
but everything else is. Everything else is perfect. I can modify my creature
(all screens rendered correctly). The startup video works. All sound works. FPS
is fast.

Actually, applying the previously submitted patch fixes this issue as well, so
I beleive it is in fact the same issue (of sorts).

I have the game too, same issue - with the patch for this app specifically,
everything is flawless - including the tooltips that did not show in the
creature creator.

Both are completely different problem. The interface not rendering bug still
present, but it won't appears in Spore final. (due different codebase afaik).
The second bug (wrong Z-order) affects both game. Spore final crashes sometimes
too (for example starting, and always when you would like go out of the water.
(1st evolution))

Setting the Lighting option to lowest makes the game not to crash at all when
going out of the water.

I think we should close this bug, because the Interface is rendered correctly
with release 1.1.4. The other issue isn't solved, yet. But we should let it an
own bug report. There are so many bugs for this game and all are mixed with
informations and duplications about the same things! Probably we should sort
them a bit.
