I’v been doing some reading. Wine changes absolute movement to relative. So, I think changing the scaling should be the solution in the “mouse.c” wine source code. I’v done programing, but it will take me some time to figure out how it works. The patch code, mentioned on the bug page, changes specific things related to ABS vs REL mouse positioning.
I understand some of the wine mouse code. I need help making sense of it to find the code section i’m looking to change. Also, I need to send mousexy to the console. Can someone help?
I’d like to add a registry entry “mouse sensitivity” to make it flexible for any game. I couldn’t find anything in the wine app.
Thanks for the help. If you read the bugs link, it’s games that use REL positioning that run into trouble with wine. The rawinput patch doesn’t fix it for Empire earth. So, I read everything I could find, mouse warping, etc. I tested it and found a possible solution(ABS <->REL mouse positioning). Also, the modern game I have mouse works fine with playonlinux/wine.
Can you tell me in general what this section is doing? Break it down. I have some understanding of pointer variables. IMHO, this needs much more commenting. Which is the mouse raw input from suse linux? Ending with what gets send to wine then empire earth.
case WM_MOUSEMOVE:
{
POINT pt, pt1;
if (This->clipped) pt = This->mapped_center;
else GetCursorPos(&pt);
This->m_state.lX += pt.x = hook->pt.x - pt.x;
This->m_state.lY += pt.y = hook->pt.y - pt.y;
if (This->base.data_format.user_df->dwFlags & DIDF_ABSAXIS)
{
pt1.x = This->m_state.lX;
pt1.y = This->m_state.lY;
} else
pt1 = pt;
if (pt.x)
{
inst_id = DIDFT_MAKEINSTANCE(WINE_MOUSE_X_AXIS_INSTANCE) | DIDFT_RELAXIS;
wdata = pt1.x;
}
if (pt.y)
{
/* Already have X, need to queue it */
if (inst_id != -1)
queue_event(iface, inst_id,
wdata, GetCurrentTime(), This->base.dinput->evsequence);
inst_id = DIDFT_MAKEINSTANCE(WINE_MOUSE_Y_AXIS_INSTANCE) | DIDFT_RELAXIS;
wdata = pt1.y;
}
if (pt.x || pt.y)
{
if ((This->warp_override == WARP_FORCE_ON) ||
(This->warp_override != WARP_DISABLE && (This->base.dwCoopLevel & DISCL_EXCLUSIVE)))
This->need_warp = TRUE;
}
break;
}
This obviously gets the mouse pointer position if the window isn’t clipped (getCursorPos (&pt))
The pointer pos is then put into a structure “m_state” after making it not an absolute pointer position, but a relative move compared to the last pointer position, so that the structure contains, again, an “absolute” position (I put absolute into quotes as I haven’t looked at how the m_state structure is initialized). Is this clear to you?
Lenwolf> I put absolute into quotes as I haven’t looked at how the m_state structure is initialized.
It uses a structure that is pointer Q(first-in first-out), as I understand it. Also, empire earth in game has a mouse sensitivity values. For this code, i’ll set them to zero. They don’t work anyway. I’ll need to add something to set this var. Like a command line code(–mouse_sensitivity X) .
I think I understand. If absolute mouse → mouse delta/relative is the problem, it needs to scaled up. It needs a mouse sensitivity variable. Also, It might need some error correction too. Correct me if i’m wrong.
No, I don’t think that this structure is a queue, really, not in the sense that you put values in which are queued and then retrieved.
Try to find the definition of the structure somewhere in the source code.
Interesting - and probably the source of your problem. Have you tried setting these values to high/low values in the game?
You still haven’t replied to this question :
could you check whether this is wine- or application specific?
I’ll need to add something to set this var. Like a command line code(–mouse_sensitivity X) .
This is a command line for what? For wine or your program? If this is supposed to be for the program, I fail to see how you could achieve this unless you have access to the source code. If the hack you proposed is for wine, you’re probably better off to make yourself a special version of wine with the mouse sensitivity you want, just for that game.

Yes that could work. Just try setting the mouse sensitivity in the source code and recompile yourself a version of wine.
Try it out and see what works.

2120 } DIMOUSESTATE2;

As I said, these settings have no effect. High mouse sensitivity has no effect in the EE menu.

Sorry, I must have deleted the answer. On playonlinux, FARCRY2 mouse works normally. The bug page mentioned how older games use REL mouse positioning instead of ABS mouse positioning.

Yes, I plan to use the instructions on the bug page to recompile wine for EE. If I have any problems, i’ll ask on here. I need to be able to adjust the mouse_sensitivity var so don’t I have to recompile it each time. Also, playonlinux offers a build service to store special versions of wine specific to a game(s).

That will mean that you also have to find the section that reads command line options and stores them somewhere…
Now, I need to compile wine and overwrite the current wine in Playonlinux with the patched version. I’m looking for that now. Playonlinux can download and install many different versions of wine.
I need to compile wine for SUSE. I’v found many links to how it can be done. The bug page has one. What’s the best method to install it for suse?
Hi,
I don’t know about wine specifically. In general terms, there should be configure, make and makeinstall scripts provided.
You download the sourcecode to a directory where you, as a non root user, have read/writ acess.
Once downloaded, cd into the directory.
type “./configure”.
this will start configuring the sources.
then type “./make”
then type “sudo make install”.
Here are some links for compiling wine under openSUSE:
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/wine/Source/wine-1.1.34.tar.bz2
tar xjvf wine-1.1.34.tar.bz2
cd wine-1.1.34
wget http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=25097 -O mousewarp-1.1.34.patch
### Download other patches you may want at this point ###
patch -p1 < mousewarp-1.1.34.patch
autoreconf
./configure
make depend
make -j 2
checkinstall -D --install=no
Gives an error. I’m reading up on how to now. I’m new at this. I don’t need the patch it doesn’t work anyway. Dependencies? Needed include files? I’m a bit lost here.

You don’t say what where and when gives what error.
Forget about the patch right now. Download the sources and just try to compile them as they are. Have you checked all of the dependencies, as listed in the links i gave you?
I’v installed a few packages. I’m struggling through this.

FYI, I did all those packages. Wine needed many more. mingw for one. Where do I find that? I’m learning more as I go.
I had to do clean install for suse. I have to start over again.
I’m having a problem starting POL now. I usually just click on the playonlinux shell script icon inside the folder for the generic version(python). Thanks, i’ll post again once I get caught up. —pause—
