Full Version: The Cider Wrapper Library
InsanelyMac Forum > Apple World > Mac Gaming
devilhunter
UPDATE: Since its getting a hassle posting here and on the Game porting Team Blog, i suggest we move the Cider and CrossOver relevant Topics to the Game Porting Team Blog @ http://dev.ibrain.com.ua/ and its Forum.
We have recently added a few sections like an extra Game Blog and a News Blog, and a Emulator zone called "The Arcade".
Most of the Game Porters already moved there.


Well Guys and Girls, its that time of the month again. Yepp, time for one more of my ingenious Ideas smile.gif

So i noticed a recent takeover of Ciderised Games in the Games Section, some people are making big progress and some very little.
Others decide not to share their work of successful Cider Port and this keeps the question level and new Topics for these problems created rather high. Rather then digging through all the Pages and wasting hours upon hours of time to port a Game that others have done some time ago, lets collect all the modified Cider wrappers and post them here.
Lets do this as followed:

You create a Cider game that works good/ok/is a work in progress and Upload ONLY the modified Cider Wrapper to your favorite File Upload Website, and post the link with a quick Info what works/what doesn't work and maybe some general info and requirements here.
I'll add them to the first post here with a little info and instructions/screenies to make things easier.

Remember, what we are posting here is not against the rules, only the links to the Cider Wrappers get posted here.
When you want to play one from the Games below, you'll have to get the full game yourself and install it via Crossover/VMware/Parallels or a real PC, and drop it into the Wrapper posted here.



some things to take note of:
- dont just post these Wrappers elsewhere, but ask the person who did them for permission.
- alert me please if a download link gets taken down (only from the first post)
- include some info about the status of your Games, like i have below. (important)
- PPC users, the Cider Wrapper works only on Intel machines. but you knew that, right?

5. Known Issues
- the movies do NOT work, after setting the Game up, go to the Data Folder and rename the Movies/Videos Folder to something like this "!!!Movies", or simply throw them away if you don't want to keep them around (and they waste much disk space)
- if you quit the game normally you get an error massage with the title "Exception raised". ignore it, the exe doesn't shut down properly, so click "no"

- I managed to throw the save bug overboard with the new Cider Wrapper (the Game crashed previously when you loaded another savegame ingame)
- this Game is REALLY HEAVY on Graphics requirements, no use pleading for help for optimizing this here, just try to lower the settings if it lags for you
(and look at the links in the Known Issues point)
-you can add MODs
- i have added my Preferences Folder that uses some gamehacks and kills some of the Known Issues
start the game first without it, so it can create a preferences folder, then swap the config and ini files form my folder to yours (but this may not work for you)
it goes here "your username/Library/Preferences"

5. Known Issues
- the following settings MUST be turned OFF to avoid getting scrambled graphics:
Distand Land
HDR Lighting
Bloom Lighting
- HDR and Bloom do not work in this release. it is possible getting them to work, but it's a hell lot of complicated and it works only for some people
- the Game lags a bit when you kill an enemy (a known sound issue)
- if you run into an object on the ground it sometimes makes a loud noise (a known sound issue)
- minor issues with Sound

Optimizing the Game can be difficult but there are people who came to some solutions, lookie here and here .

Why isn't anybody posting on this thread?? It could be really useful for a lot of people! People, please post your wrappers!
slacker25
Well lets see maybe cause we aint all got enough time and there is too many people shouting they want and only a few of use daring enough to try and make things work with it and then again maybe some people didnt like the idea that all they are doing is making cider and they just gotta give that time they put into it away......devilhunter if all those ciderized stuff is your work my hats off to ya......but myself not enough time to post


but ill have DMC3 on here soon enough

well i tried swkotor 2 wrapper, it works ok but without frame buffer effects and soft shadows. anyone knows how to enable them?(i mean with tweaks, the options are greyed out atm)
devilhunter
I updated my Post with my new The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Port
Great Game, very addictive and InsanelyModdable.

As for People not uploading here, i can think of three reasons:
-instructions for writing in the fields i specified above are too difficult to understand
-the "Upload" button on Megaupload/Mediafire is very hard to click whistle.gif
or
-People don't like my idea

But the download counter on my Mediafire Account says otherwise, people have already leeched a few gigs. (from 4x 30MB files)

come on Guys, upload something

clicking the upload button on file sites isn't that hard
most of the don't require an account, like
MediaFire, MegaUpload, Rapidshare...

but i'll look forward to your Devil May Cry 3 port, (my favorite Game on the PS2)
i tried it some time ago, but gave up after seeing the severe lags and Graphic bugs...

I love the format and the idea is fantastic. I'd contribute except that I don't really experiment with Cider too much anymore. I got a few PC games that could work with it, but I don't have the patience nor the knowledge to build a functional Cider wrapper for each.

The only thing I can do to contribute to this (as of this writing) is to add info on the Oblivion cider. Distant Lands and Bloom DOES work and I never really saw any issues or had any difficulties making them work (might be an nVidia thing). As for the VERY SUDDEN LOUD NOISE with ground collision, there is a work-around: If you go to your Oblivion.ini file under [Audio], there should be a line called iMaxImpactSoundCount=. Put the value to Zero and it mutes all the impact sounds.

Also, shadows don't work at all.

I think Oblivion is the only one of the list (so far) that is PC exclusive. I'm pretty sure the rest have a Mac port (I know NWN and one of the KotoRs are).

About other games, I have Dark Messiah and Dungeon Siege 2 that do work with Parallels and Crossover, so I'm thinking those shouldn't have any trouble running under Cider (without multiplayer). Considering the game's officially over and there won't be able patches anytime soon, I figured I could also give Hellgate London (the SP version) a try... got it to run in Parallels but I don't have the patience to get it running under Cider. Any info to help my research would help... The only game I managed to get working under Cider is Oblivion... so I don't know the steps involved to get a wrapper working.

Once I get something running, I'll upload. Don't hold your breath.

1. Good idea but really we need some special site for this subject - maybe CiderHQ similar to WineHQ ('There are 11512 applications currently in the database'!) - a place to collect reports and a forum.

2. Personally I prefer to test and discuss complete versions to compare results than wrappers:

- there are usually many versions of the same games on the Net and the results maybe very different for them so reported bugs maybe not present in your version and performance tests may vary also

- you can't be sure that everything will work in Cider just as on real PC so it may need editing game data/code also (scripts, fonts, movies, etc.). You can see that many current Ciderized games have annoying bugs that can't be resolved by Cider updates only - sometimes you should convert audio/video data, replace fonts, replace or edit 3D models, edit scripts to exclude buggy areas, edit or delete buggy maps, ... to make a game more playable and reliable - if it worth so certainly.

What upload site and DMC3 works almost full FPS .... but you graphics card has to be pretty fast

Well I've tried the KotOR cider and unfortunatelly it does the same thing as my previous attempts at making the game work - on my iMac the upper left quarter of the screen is stretched over the entire display (like I used the OS X built-in zoom, except I didn't do that). This makes the game totally unplayable.
devilhunter
I just tried KotOR 1 & 2 on my Fathers old Intel iMac (white, 7300GT) and my friend's new iMac (black glass, HD2600Pro) and on my mini (GMA950).
It works. Perhaps you need to delete the movies or change the resolution in KotOR's ini.
I tested the US and the German release, i haven't tried others.
But i have seen this Bug with Dungeon Siege 2, and i haven't found a way around it, yet.
Or maybe Cider doesn't treat every Graphics Card equally, like the nVidia faults with Oblivion that Gix mentioned.

I'm also getting this, checking the Res on my monitor shows 640x480 - no matter what res I choose in the options menu; seems the game itself IS internally rendering at its desired resolution but something in cider maybe is causing the output res to only be 640x480 (and therefore only showing that amount of the screen, as the rest is out of the display)

This is with a 10.5.5 hack, C2D, RadeonX1900XT

great thread here devilhunter, I wish all known wrappers would be shared here. Most people already have access to PC versions before wanting to try on mac.

A couple of requests: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Assassins Creed. thanks

Permission to add it to the list above?
Some info about whats working/what not etc. would be great.
williambumble
@ locoputo thanks for that, I saw it and will check out the wrapper

@ SHADO5 - my request in this thread isn't for the games, as I already have them, it is for the cider wrappers only. I think devilhunter has highlighted the fact that very few posts of ciderized games will have the wrapper posted separately, its always wrapped up in a huge torrent or a 30+ rapidshare archive. No one who owns and plays the game on their bootcamp partition wants to download 5gigs when a simple wrapper post of 30megs will let them see if they can run the game in osx.

Please PM me if you see a torrent where the wrapper is downloadable separately. I hope devilhunters thread here convinces some posters that this should be the norm!

So to clarify, am requesting the cider wrapper for GTA:SA, also Mafia: City of Los Paradise wrapper would be great too. cheers smile.gif

O aight man. Sorry about that, I guess I misread your post. I have not come across any torrents like that I'm sorry to say, but I do know of ones that just have the Oblivion, Spore, and COH versions of Cider, idk if that's helpful tho since you seem to want them to work right away with a specified game.
williambumble
thanks for your reply SHADO5 -

I agree with the point you make - its a lot of fiddling and troubleshooting to get cider to work with any game, I understand that, and props should always go to the people who do it.

But making the Cider wrappers available separately I think would encourage more mac gaming and discussion. Probably most mac people who don't frequent fora like this one also don't understand what Cider does and may assume (like I did) that the Windows Game folder/exe's that is ciderized is significantly changed when ported, rather than just dropped with the appropriate tweaks into the Cider wrapper.

Maybe taking devilhunters suggestion of posting wrappers separately would be good for mac gamers and porters both - gamers could download a small file to try their windows game easily; The porters could save massive upload bandwidth by allowing gamers to acquire the games via any of the many Windows routes, and save themselves being blasted by people who've downloaded 6 gigs and don't understand why the game won't launch.

btw I used to have the side-view poster of your avatar in my room!
devilhunter
updated the post with locoputo's Assassin's Creed Wrapper.
mind the "Work in progress" part!

I have created several ports as well today, i'll upload them over the weekend. (i'll need to bug test 'em)

'njoy

P.S.: i have seriously thought about creating a website/blog for these, but that draws too much attention; and insanelymac is a great place for this. smoke.gif
devilhunter
updated the first post with Star Wolves & Star Wolves 2.
Good Games, but the vocal dubs on these Games suck hard in my opinion...
If you're a Space-RPG fan like me, this is only a minor annoyance.

From what i have tested, the work perfectly.


the next Game will be something totally different, and i'm not sure if i'm allowed to post it here.
But what the hell, i'll post it anyway. (hint: it's an A***e E***e)

this may not be the right place to ask, but you guys seem to know what your doing when it comes to cider

im kinda new to all of this, so my biggest question is how do i install a game using crossover games?

and help would be really appreciated
locoputo
Launch crossover games.

Insert the cd/dvd.

It should make a new bottle automatically and start the installer, if not go to Configure > Install Software > Click Install Unsupported software > Continue > New Bottle > And select the dvd/cd or choose the setup file as the installer file.

The rest should be straight forward.
bschoneberger
and one more thing, if i downloaded a torrent of one of the games, would that work to install the game, or do i need the physical cd?
Bishop Humbaba
I ported Rome: Total War, the only bug is that the water on the campaign maps is all screwy
btw: i am trying to port garrys mod 10 and I am having an issue can somebody please help?
Garrys Mod Cider
locoputo
if you downloaded the torrent you will most likely get the pirated version, so it has a no cd patch. Just download and play.
bschoneberger
i actually meant if i dl'ed a torrent of the normal pc game, not a cidered version of it

would it work then?
locoputo
Yeah, you'll just need a no cd crack that doesnt crash cider.

i really dont understand anything anyone is saying about how to get the game to work (oblivion) but i just downloaded it from one of these things and when i click on it it dosnt work plz help me and use dialog that i can understand

What available here is just a wrapper. No games file included. You need to install the game using a tools, for example crossover. After that you need to copy the games file & put it in the wrapper you just downloaded.

Anyway, while cider games typically work, every crossover-based game (using the CrossOver Chromium wrapper) I have downloaded through the torrent channels does not work in my hackintosh. Just shows the splash screen and then vanishes. Is there anything additional I need to do besides decompressing and running or there is a problem with my hackintosh ? Is it possible/easy to convert a CrossOver Chromium wrapped game to a ciderized port ?

There was one that was used to make a complete cod4 demo by someone, but I can't find it anymore. It worked perfectly for the full version of Call of Duty 4, you just had to change the target depending on if you wanted sp or mp.

Is there anywhere where all the cider wrappers are posted sans copyrighted game files? I just want to grab wrappers for games I legitimately own - plus the wrappers are like 50-100 mb.

Please update OP with http://portingteam.com/

Has anyone seen a CIV IV complete wrapper? I just bought the PC version and would rather run it in OS X than boot camp. PLus I have a copy of the Mac version I bought and I have never really been too happy with its performance (black unit markers and slow performance - plus no expansions and poor PC play in my experience).
