warcraft indd doesnt play any videos (intro, endings) in either war3 and war3x.

the interesting part is that you can actually watch the war3 videos with VLC or
media player

so i guess is CONFIRMED for 1.1.6

Hello

Run winecfg, go to the "Graphics" tab, and disable "Allow the window manager to
control the windows", then both the Blizzard logo and the movies play just
fine.

Changing component to winex11.drv.

Just confirming that it still exists in wine 1.1.18.
However, unchecking "Allow window manager to control the window" in winecfg as
indicated does allow the videos to play perfectly.
This is a bit of an annoyance, though, because then when launching the game via
terminal window the game will not automatically gain focus and you cannot type
(for chat, for naming savegames, creating profiles, etc).
Also, naturally, affects The Frozen Throne expansion pack.

There is no useful terminal output. It's the same with the window management
setting on or off.

Overriding quartz.dll allows me to play movie but without sound and with bad
quality. I'm attaching another log.

bad quality movie

This is a screenshot sample of bad quality movie. In screenshot you'll see some
horizontal lines, it looks like movie is interlaced. It very clear to see when
movie is played but not when screenshot is cough.

In next part of the movie the screen look like grained or pixelized. The
framerate is good though.

This is still an issue with wine 1.1.43.

Doing this allows me to watch the videos (with horrid quality and sound) and
play the game.

After disallowing window manager control windows,
movies almost work
* It does not crash any more
* Moives are showed but in a very low quality
* as usual the display becomes brighter, but becomes normal after you quit
warcraf
* no sound during movies

I also reinstalled War3 today and did not have to "disallowing window manager
control windows". However, I play in a virtual window.

The quartz.dll hack described above is no needed anymore, however it would
still be nice to have at least sound in the videos.

Thank you NSLW, my tests also show using native quartz.dll indeed gets the
movies playing even with "Allow the window manager to control the windows"
enabled.

This proves that Wine's quartz doesn't deal with winex11.drv properly in
managed mode -> changing component from winex11.drv to quartz.

Latest Wine Git with builtin quartz gives these results:

A DirectShow sample from MSDN plays the .mpq videos just fine. If Wine is
compiled with libmpg123 present, the videos even have sound.

Wine + libmpg123 + "Allow the window manager to control the windows"="Yes":
sound plays, but video is black and cannot be skipped. Alt-Tabbing through
different Warcraft windows doesn't help.

Wine + libmpg123 + "Allow the window manager to control the windows"="No":
sound plays, video plays and can be skipped. Skip -> X11 crashes (Intel GMA HD
graphics FTW :-).

Wine + libmpg123 + 800x600 virtual desktop: sound plays, video plays and can be
skipped. Skip -> main menu.

When the videos play, they play smoothly and the CPU usage is minimal, but they
are pale and blocky because the monitor gamma is somehow set too high.
Resetting the gamma while the videos are playing ("xrandr --output VGA1 --gamma
1:1:1") makes the quality a lot better.

So the reason movies are black with "Allow the window manager to control the
windows"="Yes" seems to be some kind of window order/focus/visibility issue.

Source code of Warcraft III starter

I created Warcraft III starter (C program) for Wine, which use some ugly hacks
with integrated wine's explorer.exe, Warcraft III window mode and WinAPI
function CreateProcess.

This starter starts Warcraft III in window mode, but resized to fullscreen
(there is no visible differences between this and classic fullscreen mode)
without changing actual screen resolution. In this mode movies works fine for
me without any external dlls.

I'm attaching source code of my starter.

Hi, I was doing some experiments with Warcraft III in order to get videos
played.
I'm using wine-1.5.31 emerged from gentoo's last ebuild with USE flags "X alsa
cups fontconfig gecko gstreamer jpeg lcms ldap mono mp3 ncurses nls odbc openal
opencl opengl perl png prelink samba scanner ssl threads truetype udisks
xcomposite xinerama xml". I run a custom script to start the game in a
different X session using the -opengl switch, no dynamic libraries are
overridden.
The game works pretty well except by the movies, first I've renamed the movies
folder and there were skipped, so no problem was found. However, I wanted to
try Pali's workaround.
I provide three attachments, the first one, called error.log is form the game
without any workaround, with the window manager disabled. The second one,
error.log.0 describe the output op Pali's workarround. Finally, in the third
one I edited start.c code at line 75, removing the window switch:
-- sprintf(command, "war3.exe %s%c", classic, 0);
++ sprintf(command, "war3.exe -window%s%c", classic, 0);

I hope it helps.

Hi again, I managed to make it work:

I created an application entry in winecfg for Frozen Throne.exe:
Windows version: Windows XP
Graphics: 
* Automatically capture the mouse... etc
* Emulate a virtual desktop (the size of your game resolution, e.g., 1280x1024)

and also I created another entry for war3.exe
Windows version: Windows XP
Graphics: 
* Automatically capture the mouse... etc
* Allow the window manager to control the windows
Libraries:
* winegstreamer (disabled)

I run the game as:
$ wine ...etc../Frozen\ Throne.exe -opengl
or
$ wine ...etc../Warcraft\ III.exe -opengl
If expansion is used or not.

I hope it helps.
P.S. Even the subtitles appear in the videos.
