Getting Fallout 2 to work well
by Joonas Koivunen 07 Feb '07

07 Feb '07

Hello everyone! Recently I tried fallout2 again, and for some reason it has again started working with wine. I searched the archives and it seems there have been lots of times when it has worked and then again hasn't.. Glad to see I'm not the only one interested in it :) >From what I gathered from old postings, there had mainly been issues with mouse input, from which I at least don't suffer. Nor are there any more reports (appdb at least) of it not working with the latest 0.9.30. The problem I have is that fallout2.exe takes all the available CPU power, optimizing that might make other old games work better too. I'm interested in the task, though I haven't got much of an idea how GDI or DirectDraw api's work and I'd need some pointers where to start solving this problem. Game taking all of available CPU doesn't make it unplayable. It just makes mouse movement jerky and overall feeling is that my computer (amd athlon xp 1800+) is too slow :) AFAIK minimum requirements for this game were something like P90 with 16MB ram :) Some "features" like fading to black and white (going to menu for example) are simply missing (these were in use a while ago, with older wine). The rendering of animations slows down (in the combat mode) if the animation happens to be under the animated cursor. I have tried Thunderbirds (from #winehq @ freenode.net) patch, which when rendering with opengl uses pixel shaders to do 8bit->32bit conversion. It resulted in a bit more sluggish (compared to GDI) game play experience. Profiling with oprofile (GDI session) shows that most of the time is used in the game (I suppose it's the "anon" from wine-preload), next most time consuming is winex11 drivers X11DRV_DIB_SetImageBits which seems to be doing the conversion. I have included a bit cleaned version of opreport -l, only the first 40 lines. Any help would be appreciated. -- -- Joonas Koivunen

msi: Make MsiInstallProduct conformance test depend on proper UI level processing.
by Misha Koshelev 07 Feb '07

07 Feb '07

Hi, just wanted to double-check with msi ppl and other wine developers if it's okay to add my conformance test to the test_MsiInstallProduct function. My reasons for doing this versus a completely separate test function are as follows: 1. The test is already testing a full product install (installs files, services, registry values, etc) and my modification will simply result in either no modification to these actions if UI level processing is good or complete failure if it is bad, which will make the problem very easy to diagnose. 2. Looking through instructions on msdn it seems that there isn't a kosher way to make a very simple MSI file that just, say, writes a registry value (without doing costing, install validation, having a full features table, installing some features, etc.) which would make a separate function easy to implement and it does not really seem necessary to copy and paste the whole test_MsiInstallProduct (or similar) function just to check UI level processing. I could do a separate function, it just seems unnecessary. Misha p.s. For some reason, I can't compile the msi crosstests (it gives an error on linking with -lcabinet, whereas, say, kernel32 crosstests compile file), so if anyone can crosstest it for me that would be great :)

Window focus testing
by Duane Clark 06 Feb '07

06 Feb '07

Is it possible to do window focus testing in Wine conformance tests? Or does the windows not being mapped mean that this testing cannot be done? Or maybe I am doing something completely wrong; which is likely ;) I am specifically trying to test window focus in this bug: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7280 As mentioned in the bug, I turned the treeview conformance test into a standalone test with a mapped window, and added testing that does show focus behavior. But so far I have not been able to get it to give good results in a Wine conformance test.

Re: [PATCH] make CarbonPoker (previously Poker.com) client work.
by Juan Lang 06 Feb '07

06 Feb '07

Hi Trent, thanks for the patches. Please send the split up patches to wine-patches instead of wine-devel. The crypt32 patches won't make it in as-is, but I think you can get a better quality hack accepted. As MSDN states, CryptGetMessageCertificates is just a wrapper around CertOpenStore. So you could write something like the following: HCERTSTORE WINAPI CryptGetMessageCertificates( DWORD dwMsgAndCertEncodingType, HCRYPTPROV hCryptProv, DWORD dwFlags, const BYTE* pbSignedBlob, DWORD cbSignedBlob) { CRYPT_DATA_BLOB blob = { cbSignedBlob, (LPBYTE)pbSignedBlob }; TRACE("%d, %p, %d, %p, %d\n", dwMsgAndCertEncodingType, hCryptProv, dwFlags, pbSignedBlob, cbSignedBlob); return CertOpenStore(CERT_STORE_PROV_PKCS7, dwMsgAndCertEncodingType, hCryptProv, dwFlags, &blob); } Then in store.c, add a stub function for opening and closing PKCS7 stores - look at CRYPT_PhysOpenStore for an example.
