RealDllPath not working #12

Closed RibShark closed 6 years ago

RibShark commented 6 years ago

I'm trying to get this working with Tonic Trouble and dgVoodoo in the following fashion:

However, the ddraw.dll loaded by dxwrapper is the system's "ddraw.dll" and not the "dg_ddraw.dll" I set in the ini. The log shows that the configuration file was loaded correctly.

Fixed by not using the stub and just renaming ddwrapper.dll to ddraw.dll

I think this may still be a bug though as it doesn't work when using the stub.

Yes, the RealDllPath won't work when dxwrapper is loaded from a stub since it is not being loaded as a wrapper dll. Instead you need to tell the stub to load the custom dll since the stub is running as the wrapper.

If ddraw.dll is the stub then you can create a ddraw.ini text file and add the RealDllPath config option to this file. The stub should be able to read this and load the dgVoodoo dll this way.

Note: RealDllPath and WrapperMode are the only two config options supported by the stub. When using the stub these options need to be configured in the stub and not in dxwrapper.
