[Bug 14025] New: Heroes of Might Magic V: camera does not move well

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14025

Summary: Heroes of Might Magic V: camera does not move well
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Heroes of Might and Magic V (original) and HOMMV: Hammers of Fate, on should be
able to swing the camera left and right by pressing the right mouse button and
move the mouse. It works under windows. In wine (9.58 on, until 1.0 inclusive)
the camera moves only barely, in order to make a 90 degree change of view, I
need to swipe the mouse over the pad several time, in windows I can make 180
with half a pad. The game has no mouse sensitivity option. (camera moves
normally from the keyboard, so the game still plays OK)

I can confirm that the problem still occurs with the current version 1.1.

I use OpenSuse 11.0 (64 bit) with NVidia GeForce 7900. The NVidia driver
169.12-0.1 is installed.

This also happens with the demo.  A workaround is to edit input.cfg found in
<game dir>/profiles/<profile name> and change MOUSE_AXIS_X & MOUSE_AXIS_Y to
90. Note tha tMOUSE_AXIS_Z is set to 160 by default in Wine.  Perhaps there is
an issue with radians/degrees?

Has anyone else noticed a change in behavior when rotating in HOMMV recently? 
Now, instead of the slow movement while using the mouse, but normal movement
while using the keyboard, I get slow rotation with either the mouse or the
keyboard, and both can only rotate in the counter-clockwise direction.

Seems much better in 1.3.17.  I can now rotate smoothly in either direction. 
I've never actually played this game on Windows before, so I can't say whether
this is fully fixed, but it seems perfectly fine to me now.

I do not see any progress in git. Mouse movement for me is still slow, I rotate
the camera with the keyboard shortcuts.

Today i tested Heroes of M&M V on Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit with wine 1.5.9.
The Rotation bug still exists, but I recognized another strange behaviour: When
i zoom in and out with the mousewheel for seveeral times, it wasn't possible to
zoom out to the starting hight anymore. Setting the camerapostition in the
graphicsoptions to "Classic" the starting hight was reset, but the zooming
failed again. So also the Z-axis of the mouse seems to be behave wrong.
I don't know if this behavier of the zoom was also a problem in the previous
versions.

I'm observing the same problem with mouse controls in Silent Storm and Silent
Storm: Sentinels. The similarity is probably not a coincidence as HoMM V uses a
modified version of the Silent Storm engine.

The problem with the camera is not fixed in Wine 1.7.6. I have HoMM 5 from
GOG.com.

Could it really be the issue with radians as it was suggested in Comment 2?

The workaround given in Comment 2 still works in Wine 1.7.6. I had incorrect
values not only in the input.cfg file, but also in input_a1.cfg and
input_a2.cfg, bindconfigure MOUSE_AXIS_X and MOUSE_AXIS_Y parameters were set
to "1.2" instead of "90" degrees.

On Windows default values in input.cfg files are also equal to 1.2, but there
everything works fine. I've attached Wine 1.7.6 logs.

The issue with zooming described in comment 18 affects Wine 1.7.6 as well.

This fixes the rotation problem with the mouse..
Wine 1.62... PCLinusOS x86..

To fix the zoom in and out... I applied the same idea..
change the input file Z to 1160..

If using the GOG version the config files are in MY DOCUMENTS...
Home folder in linux..

Heroes of Might and Magic V folder.. includes Hammers Fate..
Heroes of Might and Magic V - Tribes of the East folder..

edit input.cfg in all folders..

bindconfigure        MOUSE_AXIS_X 1.2
bindconfigure        MOUSE_AXIS_Y 1.2
bindconfigure        MOUSE_AXIS_Z 160

Change to:

bindconfigure        MOUSE_AXIS_X 90
bindconfigure        MOUSE_AXIS_Y 90
bindconfigure        MOUSE_AXIS_Z 1160

this has fix the rotation and zoom issues in my installation..

Good Luck..

AFAIK most voted apps gets most love here... So vote for app, ask friends to
test and vote for game and it should be soon someone would fix it... ;)

I tested the demo and the issue is still valid 1.9.16-git and staging 1.9.16.

It's really slow to move the camera angle.

The camera movement could be smoother. wine 1.9.21.

Still an issue in Wine 4.0-rc5 (staging).

Workaround in comment 26 works only partly.
I can move the camera now, but the zooming bug (maximum height not possible)
persists.
In addition to that I have graphic issues when I move the camera (wrong shadows
and flickering).

I've had issue recently with Spellforce 2 with nvidia GPU and proprietary
drivers which sounds similar.

There is some information about issue in Spellforce 2 and a patch from wine
developer which fixes my issue, might be worth trying for your issue. bug
#46531.

I tested this game, the glitches on camera movement (black parts, flickering)
is not similar but should be already fixed by
a5ffdff2edb75cd06e6b57a00ea7d7628928a5c4.

I could not reproduce camera movement bug at all though, without any tweaks or
configuration changes camera was moving just as I would expect it to.

Excuse me, I mean the zoom bug. Now the camera is moving without any problems
and there's no need to edit the corresponding setting in input.cfg. It's only
needed to edit MOUSE_AXIS_Z 160 to MOUSE_AXIS_Z 1160 and everything is almost
perfect. The only problem left is inability to zoom out to max level. It always
zoom to one step lower.
