I mean this game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RySQjPJvcQ
Works in Wineskin (a gui for [dar]wine, I suppose), so why is still garbage in wine? Maybe I miss to know something, or it uses modified engine. There, the gameplay seems to be perfect...

Wineskin is a third party application and the Wine project CANNOT useI mean this game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RySQjPJvcQ

It looks like strange to me, only this... I hope he adds it soon, thenjjmckenzie wrote:the Wine project CANNOT use any results gained by using it.

However seems the cause is a problem with directx/pixel shader...

I don't want to buy a program that I won't use for more than testing.No demo available =(If the game has a demo/trial produced by its authors, then please post the URL for it here.

Does the game actually work for you? Then you can submit a test report so it's not "garbage" anymore on the appDB.Raffhell wrote:I mean this game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RySQjPJvcQ

Wineskin is a tool for anyone to use... it supports building your own Wineskin Engines (Wine, X11, and other supporting libraries) from Wine source code. While standard engines use completely unmodified Wine source... whoever has made that Bully wrapper may have customized Wine source and made a special engine for it. You'd have to contact whoever made the wrapper, and see if they used a stock Wine build or not... its not something I'd have any knowledge of. I simply try to make Wineskin a good tool with tons of customization options to get programs working.
Mac OS X has "bundles" which are different to most other OSes. When you look in Finder and see something like MyProgram.app which you double click to run, its not really a file like it looks like, but a folder... it will have a structure inside. Wineskin uses this to make app bundles like this tha are real mac apps, with all the libraries (Wine, X11 and such) all inside the app as well, including the wineprefix and everything needed. Its also all done in ObjC/Cocoa.Raffhell wrote:It seems to be another cool project...

So, basically, the bully wrapper could be an hard patched wine?
If I tried to make a version for Linux, it would be a major re-write, and it wouldn't be very worthwhile, as it doesn't use bundles. It would just be an executable file for launching along with a folder with all the Wine contents and a folder for the prefix... it wouldn't be like a single "application" as much, but its entirely possible for anyone to do that... and make Wine portable with executables to run everything... Linux already runs X11, so it would have no control over that either like Wineskin does... it would just be a start up program/script along with Wine, just made moveable, which is already easy enough to do. I haven't seen a need to worry about making a Linux version... since Wine is already focused for Linux anyways.
From what I read where people use, and the guy who made the Bully wrapper... no i don't think its a special Wine build, I think its standard Wine 1.2.2.
