[Bug 23170] New: Men of War Demo crashes on startup, needs D3DXFilterTexture

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23170

Summary: Men of War Demo crashes on startup, needs
                    D3DXFilterTexture
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.2-rc3
          Platform: x86
               URL: http://www.bigdownload.com/games/men-of-war/pc/men-of-
                    war-demo/
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: download
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: directx-d3dx9
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Happened to try this game:
1f5071f09be6ca64ff7de0d7773710be4c398e1d  Men-of-War-Demo.zip
With a clean .wine, it aborts quickly on startup with dialog
"No pixel shader 'PS' in effect 'shadow/sm' (erendershader.cpp, 339)"
and log
fixme:d3dx:D3DXCreateEffectEx (0x196ed0, 0x3f2be48, 4532, 0x1fbf330, 0xda8c30,
(nil), 0, (nil), 0x1fbf21c, 0x1fbf218): semi-stub
fixme:d3dx:ID3DXEffectImpl_GetParameterByName (0x1d2c70)->((nil), PS): stub

winetricks d3dx9_36 seems to work around this and let me play the game.

Interestingly, this game seems to compile shaders on first startup
and cache them in ~/my games/men\ of\ war\ demo/shader_cache
so if you remove all DLL overrides and rerun, it fails later with

wine: Call from 0x7edd7053 to unimplemented function
d3dx9_36.dll.D3DXFilterTexture, aborting

It looks like Owen is working on that function,

Not sure what the status is.

Let's make this bug about the latter problem, since that's probably solvable
first.

Nah, that's bug 12530, let's make this one about the "No pixel shader"
bug.  (Seems in the neighborhood of bug 22161, but maybe not quite a dup.)

This bug also affects Faces of War (retail), from the same developer as Men of
War. The error message is almost the same:
'No pixel shader 'PS' in effect 'shadow/sm' (erendershader.cpp, 264)'

Installing native d3dx9 libs makes the game happy and it'll start properly.

Attempting to run Red Alert 3 produces an endless loop of this message :

fixme:d3dx:ID3DXEffectImpl_GetParameter (0x146abd30)->((nil), 0): stub

which seems to be the culprit in what you are originally reporting. Tagging the
game to this bug report.

D3DXFilterTexture is implemented in git. Dan, can you try the demo again and
see if it works?

Yes, Wine's D3DXFilterTexture seems to let this game run fine microsoft-free
once you've run it once with native d3dx9_36.

Now I guess we just need the effects framework...

Let's make bug 11675 the Effects Framework bug.
