D3D8

[Joel Konkle-Parker]

In trying to get Guild Wars to work, I've come across the lack of D3D8 
support in Wine. I'd like to try to help on this front, but I'm not sure 
who to talk to or where to start.

Cedega has D3D8 support, but I'm presuming that if I contribute there, 
my code won't migrate back to base Wine.

Can anyone lead me in the right direction here?

Wine has D3D8 support too, and had for some time now. As a lot of things
in Wine, it's not complete (yet), but it does exist.

Right, I realize that. I was looking for information about how to help 
out with the existing Wine version.

[e-mail] seems to be the most
informed D3D around at the moment.

Well, I think that wine-devel would be also the right place to discuss this
(so you will reach all potential developpers).

And the way to help out is easy: take your game that does not work and make
it work. And then submit the patches to wine-patches to have them discussed
and reviewed :-)

finishes the 'd3dcore' transition and then flush all your fixes once it's
done, but nothing prevents you to start sending stuff to the lists to see if
you go in the right direction or not.
