[WoW with wine] OpenGL hw cursor PATCH

[Doctor Debian]

I don't find changing the farclip a fix, rather a disadvantage. I absolutely hate not being able to see anything while flying >.>

EDIT: It appears there are multiple mouse.c files. Which directory is the intended file to be patched in?

[SKLP]

Sorry.... guess I'll make a new patch against the whole wine folder.

So apply it like this:

cd wine-1.1*
patch -p1 < /path/to/patch-file

Works great =D

Thanks for great idea, i did some improvements to it

1. Put http://swa.org.ru/wow/Cursor.rar to the wow_directory/Interface (wow_directory/Interface/Cursor/Point.blp) - it will hide WoW internal cursor.

2. Slightly modified patch to use XC_left_ptr instead of XC_arrow: http://swa.org.ru/wow/wine-cursor-patch-new1.txt

3. Put big shiny cursor theme for your xorg

And voilà, we have hardware cursor in opengl mode and no problems with hiding cursor in the far distance

You're welcome.

Thx for the "improved" patch. However I don't really consider hiding the real wow cursor an improvement, because it provides extra info e.g. information about what im pointing at e.g. a repair npc

No, it removes only main pointer. You still can see every special pointers near 'hardware' one.

Looking how to extract native Pointer.blp to convert it to xpm and put in xorg cursor theme as some custom arrow

[SKLP]

Hehe ok

Although I believe it's against the WoW EULA to replace game files like this. (and could in theory get u banned)
I think so atleast but unsure.

[SKLP]

Should be pretty easy to extract the real Pointer file though, as there are, I believe, quite a few MPQ tools out there...

[isit]

No, it's like an addon, not replacing anything in MPQ. Alot of custom cursors for wow on curse.com provided this way
