Codename - Outbreak

[rickomax]

Codename - Outbreak textures are recognizing black color as transparent when it shouldn't.

I don't have the ability to test this game right now. However, last time I tested this game it required CreateExecuteBuffer, which I have not implemented yet. Can you attach your log file for this?

[rickomax]

Sure!

After getting some info about the original engine, looks like it uses DDRAW 5.
Trying to use dxHwnd to run it, opens the menu screen, then produces a crash:

It's a D3D7 game, not just DDraw. dxwrapper doesn't yet properly support D3D2-7. You have to use a different wrapper like dgvoodoo2.

Trying to use dxHwnd to run it, opens the menu screen, then produces a crash:

DxWnd is a different tool. You may want to ask the author of that tool. I hope to have support for this game at some point, but I don't at this time.

[Mitradis]

this game use D3DImm.dll and DDraw.dll for wrapped. This files need in case with dgVoodoo.

[elishacloud]

dxwrapper includes functions for both D3DImm.dll and DDraw.dll. However, there is still limited support for 3D games. This one is not yet supported with the dd7to9 function yet.

need restore this in game config after config close.

this is default values for this parameters. Config.exe drop this values to zero all.

Yes, I have seen this type of issue with other games, where the config gets messed up. I am not sure if it is caused by something in dxwrapper or a difference in how a newer OS responds to the API calls the older game makes. I suspect the latter.
