Don't expect people to trust you for posts like this:

Author: Unknown
Source: Unknown
Website: Unknown

Binary: Here

People aren't unfriendly here. You just should say it's Sven Labush (DiabloII and Uprising wrappers author), post the address for his website and no one complain about it.

Posting a 450mb pirate install of Panzer General 4 rapidshare link isn't a good idea here either "but it's 10 years old no one will care lose money"......... call me when it's 80 years old

Well said.

I hope he comes back. Or, failing that, that Mr. Labush (if that is indeed who it is) does choose to post something, somewhere. I mean, if he really did put a full year of hard work into it, it would be a shame for it to vanish forever.

I guess it's vaguely understandable why he might want to keep something like that sort-of private – didn't the guy behind ddhack end up getting hounded for a while?

I missed that completely – was that the first post in this thread?

The weird thing is that the first post mentions "pg3", and that a Panzer General 4 doesn't even seem to exist .

Oh, and this thread is now the fourth Google hit for "DX2OGL".

Since a complete DirectDraw rewrite is apparently unfeasible,

DirectDraw has a built in Hardware emulation layer...

there are a few issues that I have seen:
You can't lock the primary surface
no vsync
Flip() doesn't return the front buffer to the back

That is Direct3D, not DirectDraw.

You'll also note it does not go back before DX8.

It turns out DX7 will do something if you hack the executable of the game you want to run.

...sighs...

If you actually look at it ... or the link you posted ->
you'll note that it does have directdraw
and also note that it works very well with directdraw 1-4 games
( dx7 I haven't tested )

and you don't have to hack the executable to use it, simply extract the dlls to your game folder

What link are you reading, exactly? Perhaps we are talking about different things.

The link I posted wrote:

DirectDraw and Direct3D<7 can't be used at this point due to a conflict with opengl32.dll.

looking closer that thread is wrong and/or out-of-date

the build at http://www.nongnu.org/wined3d/ has modifications to load OpenGL in special way so it doesn't link with windows dll which also links to ddraw.dll .... which the regular wine dlls do not have
[edit: I'm no longer sure the above statement is correct, I think it was dynamically linking opengl... I flipped thru the parallels code it seems they hide all the good stuff in a different module that does not have code available ]

open wined3d.exe inside of 7zip
and extract libwine.dll, wined3d.dll, and ddraw.dll from $SYSDIR into your game folder

the end

Well, if that's the case, then someone ought to update that first page I linked to.

The other question, of course, is: does it work with PG3? 🤣

no success with this as well. DX 5 and 6 games crashed on startup.

Same here with D3D 8 and 9 games (*cough* on a Voodoo3). Even dxdiag won't start anymore 😒

PG3 launches with it, but it has too many graphic problems to really be playable
(with just those 3 dlls )

WineD3d works great with Planescape Torment, and
Axis and Allies ( after it is patch to lock surfaces before writting to them ), and a couple other games

Diablo: Hellfire doesn't appear to like it

Hi, the wrapper is now avialable from the autors homepage :
http://www.svenswrapper.de/english/other.html
Sorry for the unkindly words , i know now people here got rigth.

Sven is working now on a little more gamespeed.
