[Bug 25677] New: CaesarIV does not render text in game

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25677

Summary: CaesarIV does not render text in game
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.3.10
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: directx-d3dx9

$ wine --version
wine-1.3.10

Follow the directions to get Caesar IV running here:
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10190#c14

Install dotnet20 with winetricks.
Install the game.
Replace d3dx9_30.dll and d3dx9_36.dll with native versions. I used winetricks
to install directx9 into a temporary wineprefix dir and then copied those files
over.

The game runs successfully but it does not render text. Instead there are
square yellowish boxes where the text should be.

Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/fVmFT.jpg

I believe the issue is related to these two lines:

fixme:d3d:wined3d_get_format Can't find format unrecognized (0x36315220) in the
format lookup table
fixme:d3d:state_wrap (WINED3DRS_WRAP0) Texture wrapping not yet supported.

Some research leads me to understand that Texture wrapping isn't supported by
OpenGL and thus wine, but I was hoping there is a way to work around this bug,
or if I could be mistaken and it's unrelated to that.

I've tried various settings in the game's ini file but to no avail. I also
tried changing settings in the relevant .fx files, but nothing seemed to work,
other than me breaking different rendering aspects :D

Hi!

The error appeared to me too.
Maybe there is something wrong with the installer because it seems to me there
are a lot of missing files.
If I ran the game with WINEDEBUG=warn+ntdll options it list a lots of files
which are missing like:
warn:ntdll:NtQueryAttributesFile L"\??\C:\Program Files\Sierra\Caesar
IV\Data\Graphics\interface\backgrounds\mainmenu_1_1.dds" not found
(c0000034)

and maybe this file supposed to be the background of the texts, and there is
missing a font file too, yes.

I tried to open the cab files to figure out which cab contains them, but I
could not open them. (I tried cabextract, unshield, and in wine the
wincomander)

Running wine with:
WINEDEBUG=warn+ntdll wine CaesarIV.exe

i got this errors

warn:ntdll:NtQueryAttributesFile L"\??\C:\Programmi\Sierra\Caesar
IV\Data\Fonts\Palatino Linotype_P10_R0_W0_I0_U0_S0_DH768.ttf" not found

warn:ntdll:NtQueryAttributesFile L"\??\C:\Programmi\Sierra\Caesar
IV\Data\Graphics\interface\backgrounds\scenfull_1_1.dds" not found
(c0000034)

I think that the problem is in the missing font Palatino Linotype.

winetricks with palatino linotype font install recipe added

Hello,

attached is a modified winetricks script with "Palatino Linotype" font install
recipe added.
The download might be changed to something more suitable than a forum but for
testing it should be sufficient.

To install run:

$ bash winetricks palatino

This gets all four "Palatino Linotype" fonts properly installed in WINEPREFIX
fonts folder and registered in registry (normal, bold, italic, bold+italic).
If you have already copied these .TTF files into windows\fonts, remove them
before winetricks as it will check files if recipe already run (and not add any
registry data).

They are required for the game, see "languagetext.xml"

Though this does not solve the original problem yet, only the missing
prerequisite.
The fonts and their glyphs get loaded at runtime, see with +relay,+font

Regards

HTML test page for Palatino Linotype fonts

Hello,

attached is a HTML page for testing purposes which references "Palatino
Linotype" fonts (normal, bold, italic).
This can be used to test if fonts are properly installed in WINEPREFIX.

Save the attachment and run as follows:

$ wine iexplore file:///$(winepath -w palatino_test.html)

Hello,

filling some fields, CaesarIV demo seems to exhibit same problem.
You need following prerequisites:

1) .NET Framework 2.0 
2) native overrides of d3dx9_30.dll and d3dx9_36.dll

$ sha1sum caesar4_demo_en.exe 
wi993144afd33ded60b0fce3e1c6e3a33904d0f5da  caesar4_demo_en.exe

$ wine --version
wine-1.3.22-31-g98394f2

This link: http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fonts/winxp.htm states that
Windows XP supplies "Palatino Linotype".

The palatino Linotype installs correctly with the modified winetricks version
created by Focht. I can see correctly the HTML test page for palatino.

But the problem remains, the text in game is not rendered.

This appears to be fixed in the demo and the retail game with wine version
1.5.0

My steps to run the retail game...
In a fresh wine prefix install dotnet20. I used winetricks version 20120308
Install the game. Cancel any dialogs that attempt Direct-X installs.
I did not attempt to install the bundled ODBC package.

Place a copy of d3dx9_29.dll in $WINEPREFIX/drive_c/Program Files/Sierra/Caesar
IV
Use winetricks to install dx9 into a temporary prefix and copy the file over. (
Note the demo version seems to need a native d3dx9_30.dll )

Thats it, mount CD1. Run the game. Enjoy.

Steve.

Unfortunately this method did not worked for me, I still do not see any text. I
tried it on the demo with d3dx9_30.dll. And by the way what kind of video card
do you have? (I have an ATI video card.) And coincidentally haven't you used
any dll overrides?

Here is a snip from glxinfo

OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL renderer string: GeForce GTX 260/PCI/SSE2
OpenGL version string: 3.3.0 NVIDIA 275.09.07

I do have the Palatino linotype fonts installed in /usr/share/fonts/TTF which
is the system wide TTF font location in this box.

There is no need for the dll override if the dx9 dll file resides in the same
folder as the main executable.

HTH

Steve.

Hi,

thank you for your informations. I didn't have the fonts installed. After I
have put them into myhomedirectory/.fonts directory the text was displayed to
me too :) (Later the demo crashed with some .NET error, but that's another
issue.)

Finally text in game is correctly shown! 
Using wine 1.4.0 
ATI Catalyst 11.12
You have to install Palatino linotype fonts of course.
