wine users - Mar 2012 - S.T.A.L.K.E.R. dinput patches for Wine 1.4

Hi everyone, I've been installing software on my Mac using Wine for quite
some time

Mac OS X 10.6.8
2GB RAM
ATI X1600 128 MB

Not the best specs but you'd be surprised at what will run on such an old
rig.

My main inquiry for this post is concerning the Stalker series and the patch
that fixed the mouse issues present in Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat pre 1.4
stable. Since around the 1.3.24 the patch I would normally use was no longer
compatible due to changes in the mouse.c file.

This is the patch I had been using -
http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=15638&action=diff&context=patch&collapsed=&headers=1&format=raw

Recently mr_lundis posted a revised version of this patch which is very nearly
working....in fact it does work for certain games (ie F.E.A.R. Platinum &
Advent Rising) Unfortunately when used for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. the results are not as
desirable. The mouse becomes locked on the ground and will not warp correctly.

Here is a link to the revised patch - https://gist.github.com/1958584

Basically I'm wondering if someone here has a keen enough eye or knows what
slight changes need to be made in order to make this patch work correctly for
the Stalker games affected by the mouse issue. Any help or insight would be
greatly appreaciated.

Here's what mr_lundis had to say about the patch

compiling my own c-compiler to work around the issue :/

the rect is not mapped correctly to the window (compare with warp_check on line
437 for reference.)

Mr. Lundis will have to fix his patch as it is his and he has not
added it, as far as I know, to any bugzilla entry.

This will have to go to the Apple Open Source forums.  It is WAY out
of scope of this project.

Yea, That comment isn't actually meant for this forum...about compilling
with Xcode4.3.

I guess I'll talk to him about it and see if there's anything he can
do...I was just hoping that the keen eyes around here would be able to easily
spot the error and give me info on what to try...I have no coding experience at
all.

Have you set "MouseWarpOverride" registry entry to
"force_edge"?
