When you ran the game, was the cursor you saw the ingame cursor, or the windows arrow cursor?

Well, it was so long ago so I can`t remember :) I`l try to retest issue as soon as possible.

--- Comment #7 from James Carthew jcarthew@gmail.com 2013-11-22 14:04:26 CST --- There is a workaround for the intro movie. If you hex edit a value in the executable to blit instead of page flip, the intro movie loads and plays. The games main menu still fails to display.

--- Comment #8 from James Carthew jcarthew@gmail.com --- This is being caused by wine's page flipping support in DirectX 5. When the game is patched to Blit to the screen by hex editing a value in the .EXE the menus load and graphics display. The game should be run in 16-bit mode for best visual effect. This bug is not fixed. I have posted screenshots of the game with blitting set to on.

Could you share the details for your hexedit hack? perhaps also a version of the game or md5 of the exe so one can be sure to do it on the same version.

--- Comment #10 from James Carthew jcarthew@gmail.com --- The hex-edit for the english version of EngRel.Exe: write 0x00 at file offset: 0x000BD0A8
The original source is here:
http://forum.dark-omen.org/help-section/3d-mode-and-win8-dark-omen-t1164.0.h...
You will also need to run X11 in 16-bit colour mode as wine does not currently change the display mode to 16-bit.

This patch should help for 16bit mode.

--- Comment #24 from padraig padraig_mac@hotmail.com --- The problem of the black screen is with ddraw.dll, the best solution is to create a wine prefix for Dark Omen, and replace ddraw.dll in system32 with the one from the CD (note you should rename it in small letters as it is in capitals). This will then run but the colours are warped so run it in Xephyr 16 bit then and the cut scenes and battles work. However, the background textures are doubled over. This doesn't affect battles, just the menu, load screen and briefings.

--- Comment #25 from tomodachi tomodachi@fishface.se --- Thanks for taking your time to post on this long-running bug :) James.
For sake of completeness could you tell us what exact version of Wine you're using as well as Version of DarkHammer (perhaps even a md5sum of the DLL you mentioned) To make it easier for others to pick up
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29521
--- Comment #26 from padraig padraig_mac@hotmail.com --- Apologies, I intended to put the version of wine in, this is on wine 7.3. For the dll, the one in the DirectX folder on the cd has md5sum: 7cfb6efb41b680b1e8a1691255115ac4 and there is a custom patch on dark-omen.org which might be better to use, that has md5sum: a8bb6b9179b88536a65fb1742dad2532. I'm not sure how to find out what version of the game I have, that dll has a date of 14 July 1997 if that helps in any way...
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29521
--- Comment #27 from RealGecko alexandrbezenkov@gmail.com --- Hey there! I've tried the solution and it did not work. I've grabbed ddraw.dll with checksum 7cfb6efb41b680b1e8a1691255115ac4 and tried following:
1. windows/system32 - black screen 2. game installation directory and run autorun.exe - black screen 3. game installation dir/PRG_ENG and run EngRel.exe - black screen
Alas I was unable to find other dll you've mentioned on http://en.dark-omen.org, can you please provide a direct link?

--- Comment #28 from RealGecko alexandrbezenkov@gmail.com --- WINE 7.6 on Arch Linux, forgot to mention.
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29521
--- Comment #29 from padraig padraig_mac@hotmail.com --- I had to create a wine prefix for it too, it didn't work in system wine. Also you could try using the patched d3drm.dll from here: http://en.dark-omen.org/downloads/5.-miscellaneous/index.html I did use it but it didn't seem to make a difference.
The other dll I mentioned (and d3drm.dll) are here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/fnnkq89xdjy75m0/DarkOmenMods.zip/file
I've put full instructions for what I did here: http://forum.dark-omen.org/help-section/dark-omen-linux-textures-flipped-t15...
Let me know if it doesn't work and I'll try on another machine.
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29521
--- Comment #30 from RealGecko alexandrbezenkov@gmail.com --- I have separate prefix for Dark Omen for years which is 32 bit win98 :D Will download files you linked and try again.
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29521
--- Comment #31 from padraig padraig_mac@hotmail.com --- Might be worth trying to set up a clean prefix anyway as at some stage I had it working on system wine but after messing with dlls to try to fix the texture issue it went to the black screen and I couldn't get it working again. The clean prefix with the ddraw.dll fixed it. Note that if you don't open it in Xephyr (or something with 16 bit colour) the cut scene starts as black but you'll hear "Electronic Arts" so you could think it hasn't worked, press Escape or something first to get out of the cut scene.
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29521
--- Comment #32 from RealGecko alexandrbezenkov@gmail.com --- OK, I don't know what I was doing wrong but replacing dlls did not help at all. So I simply removed everything from PRG_ENG directory and replaced it with contents of DarkOmenMods.zip you linked. Then everything started working and Xephyr helped to solve the issue with palette. Thanks, I guess your guide may be used as a workaround for the game. However I'm still not sure about dlls.
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29521
--- Comment #33 from padraig padraig_mac@hotmail.com --- Well that's great that it works, odd that they worked in the folder with the exe but not in system32 but still. I presume you have issues with the background textures being doubled over? I have an error in the console which seems to be with dplay, I tried using dplay.dll and dplayx.dll that were in the CDs Directx folder but they didn't make a difference. Also I don't know how to upscale it, I don't have to use Xephyr for Shadow of the Horned Rat which is also 16 bit colour and that runs well in full screen. It would be nice to run this larger than a little window anyway.
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29521
--- Comment #34 from padraig padraig_mac@hotmail.com --- Just a further update for how the texture mirroring can be fixed. Download the ddraw.dll and config file from here: http://www.bitpatch.com/ddwrapper.html
Put them in the same directory as EngRel.exe and in the config file set BltMirror=1
Then use winecfg to add ddraw to the overrides library as native first and then the textures will render correctly.
I should also point out that everything I've said doesn't work with the original executable, you need to use the hexedited one which is one of the executables in here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/fnnkq89xdjy75m0/DarkOmenMods.zip/file
(There are other ones around dark-omen.org too but I haven't tested them all).
The game will run perfectly then in Xephyr with 16 bit colour.
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29521
--- Comment #35 from RealGecko alexandrbezenkov@gmail.com --- Sorry for late reply. I guess that's what was the cause of the issue, I used original .exe an it did not work, then I just replaced everything in PRG_ENG (including .exe) and it did work. Thing to note: I did not have texture doubling issue when I was running through Xephyr. I guess my setup is somehow different from yours. Maybe it's due to video driver? I use Nvidia 510.60.02.
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29521
--- Comment #36 from padraig padraig_mac@hotmail.com --- I initially had the main executable working after some messing with dlls without the hex edit (apart from the texture flip), but I'm not sure which dlls I used as I wasn't able to replicate it on a new wine prefix so then had to use one of the edited executables. I tried it another machine today and still have the texture flipping and again, required the edited exe.
My main laptop has an Nvidia graphics card but it is currently uninstalled so I should try it with that and see if that affects anything. I know there are issues with Nvidia cards on Window for Dark Omen.
